| Chris Smith in Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7 |
⚠️ Spoilers ahead for Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7
The latest episode of Peacemaker continues to expand James Gunn’s connected DC universe with some surprising nods to Superman, callbacks to season 1, and a collection of clever Easter eggs. Episode 7 follows the 11th Street Kids as they fight to bring Chris Smith (John Cena) back from an alternate reality where the Nazis control the world.
Building on episode 6’s reveal of the Nazi-dominated Earth, this installment raises the stakes and connects deeper into the wider DCU. From subtle references to returning characters, here’s every major Easter egg, cameo, and hidden detail you might have missed.
All the Key References in Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7
Mein Kampf Everywhere
Harcourt notices multiple copies of Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler’s infamous autobiography and Nazi manifesto, scattered throughout the alternate Earth.
Earth-X Confirmed
“Vigilante 2” reveals that in this reality, the Nazis won World War II — a direct nod to the classic DC Comics world known as Earth-X.
Nazi Crocs
One civilian zapped by Judomaster is wearing Crocs decorated with a swastika-shaped Jibbitz, a disturbingly on-brand detail for this universe.
Eagly as Baby Groot
When Economos is tied up and asks Eagly for help, the eagle brings him a random piece of string — reminiscent of Baby Groot fetching the wrong items for Rocket and Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Cheet-ohs With a Twist
Judomaster discovers a knockoff snack labeled “Cheet-ohs,” a gag similar to the misspelled “Cheerios” gag from episode 6. He even admits they don’t taste as good as the real ones.
Scrobble Instead of Scrabble
While killing time, Adebayo and Judomaster play “Scrobble,” this world’s alternate version of the board game Scrabble.
Superman Connection: Sydney Happersen
Rick Flag Sr. and Agent Bordeaux consult Sydney Happersen, a former LuthorCorp scientist introduced in Superman. Played by Stephen Blackeheart (a James Gunn regular), he was once Lex Luthor’s rift specialist and now helps ARGUS locate Peacemaker’s dimensional portal — though he’s clearly motivated by fear of Lex, not redemption.
LuthorCorp Tech Reused
Sydney and ARGUS operate from the remains of LuthorCorp’s airborne command center (first seen in Superman), which the government now secretly controls.
Portal Instability Explained
Sydney confirms Lex’s dimensional gates always had a “wobble,” meaning they couldn’t remain open indefinitely without collapsing. In contrast, Peacemaker’s Quantum Unfolding Chamber is fully stable — something Rick Flag Sr. seems very eager to exploit.
Toy Story Insult
Judomaster roasts Peacemaker’s music taste by comparing it to that of Sid Phillips, the destructive kid from Pixar’s original Toy Story.
Detective Fitzgibbon Returns
Lochlyn Munro reprises his role as Detective Fitzgibbon, a season 1 character whose name Gunn uses across multiple projects as a nod to his friend Larry Fitzgibbon. Missing, however, is Sophie Song — with an implied grim fate, as minorities in this Nazi-ruled world are said to be sent to labor camps.
Pokémon Love Continues
Vigilante once again brings up Infernape, the Fire/Fighting-type Pokémon, marking the fourth time the show has referenced the franchise.
Final Thoughts
Episode 7 of Peacemaker Season 2 delivers another mix of shocking reveals, deep-cut DC nods, and clever pop-culture jokes. Between Superman connections, alternate-universe twists, and returning characters, the show continues to expand the Gunn-led DCU in unexpected ways.
