alright y’all this is probably gonna be a super far fetched theory and a lot of you might not agree but i just happened to have this as little one off thought while rewatching the first 5 episodes. basically, we know peacemaker’s brother died under “mysterious circumstances” and that peacemaker was involved. we also see in the flashback that it looks like him and his brother may have been fighting and that’s how he died. we also know that vigilante and peacemaker grew up together (they were in school together) and that vigilante was small when he was younger and hit puberty late. basically my theory is what if peacemaker’s brother was bullying vigilante and peacemaker stood up for him and caused his death inadvertently while trying to protect a young vigilante. then from that point on vigilante had a strong love for justice and chris even before he was peacemaker because he helped him. later on chris becomes peacemaker, adrian becomes vigilante, and eventually they’re best friends. it’s definitely a reach but i think it would be cool if it was the case, just a fun little theory overall imo that i came up with accidentally lol. let me know you all think!
