Superman Was Not DCU’s 1st Alien, Peacemaker Season 2 Confirms

A surprising revelation shakes up the DC Universe in Peacemaker Season 2. The latest episode uncovers a hidden piece of history that challenges long-held beliefs about Superman’s place on Earth. This twist points to an earlier extraterrestrial presence, reshaping what fans thought they knew about the DCU’s timeline.

Peacemaker Season 2 confirms an alien came to Earth before Superman

In Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 4, the story reveals that the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, once thought to be Auggie Smith’s creation, actually belonged to an extraterrestrial being. Auggie killed the alien during a hunting trip 35 years earlier and took the device.

This detail confirms that an alien reached Earth before Kal-El. James Gunn’s Superman states that Clark Kent arrived 30 years ago, so the alien Auggie encountered predates him by five years. The Quantum Unfolding Chamber can create pocket universes with access to other dimensions, making it one of the most powerful devices in the DCU.

Additional Easter eggs widen the episode’s ties to the DC Universe and pop culture. Michael Rooker’s Red St. Wild calls John Economos “Hagrid,” referencing Harry Potter. Economos replies with the nickname “Captain Cultural Appropriation.” He also refers to another character as “Kung Fu Bulbasaur.” The latter marks the show’s second Pokémon reference this Season.

The episode also clarifies the difference between the DCU’s White Dragon and his comic book version. Peacemaker tells Leota that his father flunked 10th grade, confirming he lacked the super-intelligence of his comics counterpart. Emilia Harcourt returns and knocks out a thug’s teeth with a slow-motion punch, mirroring a fight sequence in James Gunn’s Superman.

Rick Flag Sr. references his back injury from the animated Creature Commandos, when Clayface broke his spine. He also mentions Pokolistan, tying back to the events of that series. Leota compares Peacemaker’s multiverse chaos to The Twilight Zone, while Chris himself calls his own reality the “Dark Dimension.” Chris designates Kupperburg Park as a meeting spot, nodding to DC Comics writer Paul Kupperberg.
