US Peacemaker is a superhero in Paragon City. He wears a high-tech battle armor which can construct kinetic energy force fields and emit kinetic energy pulse bolts. His armor also gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. He fights along side his teammates in the Gods of the Golden Age to defend Paragon City, and Earth, from any and all threats.

History
The Peacemaker Battle Armor is the most technologically advanced and powerful weapon ever created. The history of the armor goes back almost 50 years, when a military raid on a Crey laboratory found the stolen tech plans that would eventually become Positron's armor and also several built prototype armors.The original plans were eventually handed over to Positron, but the rest of the documents, equipment and battle armors were confiscated. The military then began work on "Project:Peacemaker". After years in the making, and technology from around the world (and recently Rikti technology) the first battle armor was ready.
The man
The pilot chosen was none other than the nation's top soldier, Jonothan Flagston. The original Flagston was one of Columbus' right hand men when he found America and they were one of the first families to settle there. Every generation since then has served in the military, having taken part in every war ever associated with the U.S.
Jonothan graduated United States Military Academy at West Point with top honors. He followed his family's legacy and joined the Army, becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. He fought in both of the gulf wars and served on several Special Forces teams worldwide. Later, he was promoted to be the leader of a completely covert squad reporting directly to the president. Jonothan is the recipient of the Congessional Medal of Honor and two Bronze Stars.
When Project:Peacemaker was ready, it was the president himself who hand picked Jonothan Flagston to wear the Armor. Not one to pass up a chance like this, Jonothan jumped at the chance to serve his country in what was to became the next stage in defending freedom.
The machine
After a year and a half of covert missions for the Army, people began to slowly find out about the armor. Fearing that the world would think it was a weapon that was being used by the U.S. for the wrongful reasons, the military decided to put a spin on everything. Project:Peacemker was repainted in red white and blue and introduced to the world as U.S. Peacemaker, the United States newest protecter of truth, liberty and justice, for all of mankind. He then became part of the supergroup The Super Patriots, in order to help him blend in more with the costumed superheroes. But the Super Patriots were an Army controlled super-militia created by the military, and they couldnt get a grasp on what it was like to work as a superhero team. Jonothan did not think the military had the right intentions in mind, and knew that the armor was no longer a weapon as much as it was a protecter of the people. It was then that he took matters into his own hands. He decided that if US Peacemaker was going to be accepted by the world, he was going to have to be part of a supergroup that actually meant something to the people, and actually believed in the same ideals he did. Jonothan knew the Army could not stop him because he had now become a hero in the public eye, and that there would be a backlash against them if they tried anything. He had heard of The Gods of the Golden Age and what they stood for through different sources, and knowing they were the right team for him, decided to contact them.
U.S. Peacemaker is property of the Army and Jonothan is still their soldier and must answer to them, but he does so on his terms. The military is not too keen on this idea, but they know he is the only one who can handle the battle armor and walk the fine line between soldier and superhero.
Due to the added danger posed by super villians, the Army had built two new armors for Jonothan. U.S. Peacemaker 2 (Beta) was built for rescue missions, and U.S. Peacemaker 3 (Gamma) was built for heavy-fire conditions. But since then, with the advancement in technology, all three armors were scrapped and rebuilt into one, which incorporates the best of all three.
The machine man
Most recently U.S.Peacemaker touched the Ouroboros gem and exchanged places with his future self, an android counterpart who has comeback 20 years from the future. An artificial intelligence with infinte learning capabilities, he is an amalgam, a mix, of the original Peacemaker armor, now more sleek and human looking, and the Gods of the Golden Age supercomputer, S.E.B.A.S.T.I.A.N., plus all of the armor's powers and abilities. This lasted several months until a new time paradox happened, created by the Midnighter club, and both U.S. Peacemakers were sent back to their proper place in time.
Affiliations
U.S. Peacemaker is a member of the Gods of the Golden Age, and also a U.S Army officer.
Personality
A true patriot and a very friendly All-American. He's always looking to lend a hand. Mentally, Flagston's' battle experience and training make him an expert tactician and an excellent field commander, with his teammates frequently deferring to his orders in battle. His reflexes and senses are also extraordinarily keen. These same qualities make him an ideal leader and teammates have deemed him an 'overgrown Boy Scout', admiring his leadership skills.

Equipment
Prototype
U.S.Peacemaker (Alpha) was a long range weapons battle armor equipped with a plasma reactor which is used to emit energy blasts. Additionaly, the armor could channel electricity in various forms.
U.S. Peacemaker 2 (Beta) was an emergency response and rescue armor. Its anti-grav magnets allowed it to manipulate gravity in different ways, like holding or propelling an object and creating wormholes. It was equipped with a laser aura cell regenerator, which could heal anyone in need.
U.S. Peacemaker 3 (Gamma) was a heavy artillery melee battle armor built for close combat. It was surrounded by a personal plasma shield which could withstand anything short of a small nuke.
All three battle armors could fly at speeds up to 600mph. All had enhanced strength and could lift 5 tons, except for the Gamma armor, which could lift over 10 tons. They could tap into various networks and satellites and were equipped with many more unlisted functions.
Current
His new advanced powered armor is an amalgam of the best parts of all three former suits. It grants him tremendous superhuman strength and durability, enabling both supersonic flight and submersible travel, and fires kinetic energy pulse bolts from its gauntlets. It is equipped with kinetic energy force field generators, mind-impairing "thought-scramblers", "light-negativity" devices allowing short-term invisibility, a tracking system, communications tech and onboard computers. He can manually recharge his armor from outside sources or draw additional power from a network of dedicated satellites.
The armor is a molecularly aligned matrix of crystallized iron enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other metals like titanium, creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of great resilience and protection. The suit is powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. The suit is also able to convert nearby energy sources, such as heat or kinetic energy into electricity, or even drain electrical energy directly into the batteries for recharge. In addition, the suit can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation.
The onboard systems of the armor are controlled by brain patterns, read from a cybernetic interface in his helmet. Sophisticated computers with an artificially intelligent operating system provide tactical information as well as constant feedback on the suit's status, using internal and external sensors.
