One of the enjoyable aspects of being a comic-book superhero fan is debating the power levels of various characters. Fans often speculate about who would win in a fight, their strengths, and weaknesses. While some power levels are officially recognized through roleplaying games or trading cards, many discussions rely on personal theories.

For example, while Batman’s strategic skills might allow him to defeat Superman, it is widely accepted that Superman is inherently more powerful than the human Bruce Wayne. Occasionally, creators clarify these power rankings, and recently, James Gunn, the creator of Peacemaker, revealed the most powerful hero in the series during a post-show breakdown of the fifth episode of season 2, titled “Back to the Suture.”

In the program “Peace By Piece: Part Two,” Gunn discusses the status of all characters as the show progresses into the latter half of its second season. He identifies Eagly, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, as the most powerful member of the Peacemaker crew.

After the first season, some fans may have questioned Eagly’s abilities, viewing him as merely a mascot for Christopher Smith, also known as Peacemaker (played by John Cena). However, the second episode of the current season, directed by Greg Mottola and titled “A Man Is Only as Good as His Bird,” showcased Eagly’s impressive skills. In a standout action sequence, Eagly takes on an A.R.G.U.S. task force led by Langston Fleury (played by Tim Meadows).

Similar to other non-human characters in Gunn’s work, such as Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy and King Shark from The Suicide Squad, Eagly proves to be a formidable force. In “Back to the Suture,” directed by Alethea Jones, Eagly faces off against the eccentric eagle hunter Red St. Wild (played by Michael Rooker) in a tense showdown.

Gunn notes in his interview that this episode reveals Eagly’s unique qualities: “Eagly is probably the most powerful of the 11th Street Kids. He’s going to have to face off with Red St. Wild. And we see that Red St. Wild’s bulls-t about the primal eagle – maybe is not bulls—, that there is something incredibly special about Eagly.” This suggests that Eagly may possess more abilities than previously recognized.

As the series continues, Eagly’s character aligns well with the other members of the 11th Street Kids, who have often been overlooked or underestimated within the larger DC Universe. The 11th Street Kids, named after a song by Hanoi Rocks about a close-knit group of punk rockers, are proving to have more potential than they appear to possess.

In “Back to the Suture,” it becomes evident that Eagly may indeed be the “Prime Eagle” that Red St. Wild refers to in whispers. What this means for the Peacemaker crew moving forward remains uncertain, but it is clear that anyone considering a confrontation with an 11th Street Kid should think twice before challenging Eagly.
