Peacemaker's Helmets are the protective headgear used by Peacemaker to hide his identity and protect his head. The helmets were developed by Auggie Smith, with each having unique capabilities on them like Sonic Blast, Underwater Breathing, and X-Ray Vision. The helmet's functions can be utilized by exclaiming "Activate [Function]".
History[]
Creation[]
At some point during his supervillain career, Auggie Smith developed at least eight high-tech helmets; each with their unique ability activated by voice command. Auggie's son Christopher began using the helmets when he became the superhero "Peacemaker", adopting the helmets as part of his signature look. Auggie placed tracking devices on all the helmets as a precautionary measure.
Used by Peacemaker[]
Peacemaker prominently used the helmets during his vigilante activities until he was arrested and taken to Belle Reve. During that time, Auggie Smith ceased all development for the helmets, keeping the preexisting ones in storage at the Quantum unfolding storage area at his home.
Peacemaker used one of the standard helmets again during the mission in Corto Maltese. In the aftermath of the mission, Peacemaker was knocked unconscious by a gunshot wound and taken to a hospital to recover while the helmet was salvaged from the wreckage of Jotunheim.
Upon being released from the hospital, Smith was forced to give away his helmet as cab fare, prompting him to visit his father to ask for a new helmet. Auggie Smith, while not pleased to see his son, did let him borrow another of the helmets, offering him options for which ability to take. Smith took the Sonic Boom helmet which he later used to kill Annie Sturphausen in self-defense. Smith later visited his father again only to find out he had been arrested but also took the chance to steal the rest of the helmets.
Peacemaker next used the X-Ray Vision helmet during one of his missions to identify Butterflies by looking into people's brains. The X-Ray Vision function also allowed him to shoot targets through doors and walls before they had the chance to ambush him. That same night, Leota Adebayo decided to try the X-Ray Vision helmet out of curiosity and accidentally saw the Butterfly inside Clemson Murn's brain. Leota attempted to flee in panic, dropping the helmet as she ran away.
When Auggie was released from prison and became the White Dragon again, he revealed that he placed tracking devices on all the Peacemaker helmets, which the Aryan Empire used to find and ambush Peacemaker. Once Chris realized that he was being tracked, he was forced to throw away all the rest of the helmets. The helmets were later retrieved after White Dragon was defeated.
The 11th Street Kids planned to sneak the Sonic Boom helmet into the barn that housed the Cow and detonate it multiple times to destroy the ranch. The initial plan was to use the Anti-Gravity helmet to carry the Sonic Boom helmet to the barn's roof, but Leota accidentally triggered the Anti-Gravity feature causing the helmet to float away. John Economos was then forced to infiltrate the ranch by pretending to be a Butterfly, though was discovered after leaving the helmet inside the cow's cavern. The helmet, however, was in a position to detonate four sonic blasts, leveling the barn and halting the butterflies' teleportation process. Peacemaker then raided the basement where The Cow was contained, while Adebayo charged in with the Human Torpedo helmet intending to help. After activation by Peacemaker, Adebayo was torpedoed into the Cow, killing it.
List of helmets[]
- "This one has full-body force field. This has sonic blast capabilities. You need to breathe underwater, then this is the one for you. And, uh, this one has X-ray vision. I didn't make these things while you were in prison. These are all from before."

- Standard Helmet: Peacemaker's original bulletproof helmet was brought on the mission with the Suicide Squad to Corto Maltese. The helmet features his trademark symbol, the dove of peace, on the forehead. It survived the destruction of Jotunheim, although Peacemaker had to give away the helmet when he had no money to pay his taxi driver.
- "Screwdriver" Helmet: It is capable of generating a full-body force field, protecting the wearer from any damage.
- Sonic Boom Helmet: It projects a voice-activated sonic blast which is powerful enough to instantly vaporize any human within range of the blast or at least knock back them with large force, destroy surrounding items, and leave a crater impact afterward. According to Peacemaker, it can produce 3 to 4 blasts in a single charge. The helmet was first used by Peacemaker to kill Annie Sturphausen, then was remotely used by Leota Adebayo to destroy Coverdale Ranch.
- Underwater World Helmet: It allows the user to breathe underwater. The helmet has a fin on top.
- X-ray vision Helmet: Upon activation, it opens x-ray vision lenses. Peacemaker used it to identify Butterflies during the raid at the Glenn-Tai Bottling Company. Leota Adebayo also tried on the helmet out of curiosity, inadvertently learning that Clemson Murn was also a butterfly.
- Scabies for All Helmet: Peacemaker has a helmet that gives everyone in a one-mile radius except for him scabies, which his father said was meant to be a challenge.
- Bound For Good Helmet: Peacemaker has another helmet with unknown capabilities.
- Anti-Gravity Helmet: When activated, it begins floating vertically, Peacemaker had a small fan that he could use to control the helmet's trajectory. It was lost after Adebayo accidentally activated its function, causing it to float away.
- Human Torpedo Helmet: It enshrouds the user in a protective force field and then flings them at a target at high speed akin to firing a torpedo. This helmet was prominently used by Leota Adebayo to assist in the battle at Coverdale Ranch. According to Peacemaker, the helmet was an untested prototype prone to injuring its user.
- New Standard Helmet: Peacemaker wore a different helmet from his standard when at Jamil's daughter's school. He used it as a new standard helmet until he discovered his father tracking him through the helmets.
- Itchy Ban Helmet: When activated, the spikey projectiles on the frontal lobe would shoot outward, piercing the target.

Trivia[]
- Despite the helmets being Peacemaker's trademark equipment and part of his signature outfit, so far Leota Adebayo has used the most amount of helmet functions; having used X-Ray Vision, Sonic Boom, Human Torpedo, and Anti-Gravity albeit accidentally.
