Fictional character biography

The Peacemaker is Christopher Smith, a pacifistic diplomat so committed to peace that he is willing to use force as a superhero to advance the cause. He uses an array of special non-lethal weapons and also founded the Pax Institute. Most of the villains he battles are dictators and warlords.

The Smith version also appears as a DLC character in the "Kombat Pack" for Mortal Kombat 1.[3]
