Busboy by day, bloodthirsty costumed adventurer by night, and always smiling despite having zero empathy, Adrian Chase/Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) is at home in the black comedy of HBO Max's "Peacemaker." But while Vigilante's costume is right out of the comics, the character inside that costume couldn't be more different.

Writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez created Adrian Chase during their run on "The New Teen Titans." He was a New York City district attorney, frustrated by a justice system full of loopholes, who gradually came to appreciate Robin and his Titan teammates. After "The New Teen Titans" #34, in which mobsters bomb Chase's apartment and kill his wife and children, he becomes the Vigilante.
