Steve Agee is an American comedian, actor, writer, and musician best known for his work in James Gunn’s DC projects, most notably as John Economos on the HBO television series Peacemaker. His performance on the show turned Economos into a fan-favorite character, blending dry humor, unexpected emotional beats, and strong ensemble chemistry across the series. Agee’s role as Economos began in The Suicide Squad, where he also worked behind the scenes as the on-set stand-in for Nanaue / King Shark, a collaboration that carried over into Peacemaker and later appearances within DC film projects, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Before his work with Gunn, Agee was widely recognized for his comedic television roles, particularly as Steve Myron on The Sarah Silverman Program, and for his long-running presence in alternative comedy as a performer, writer, and collaborator. Across his career, he has balanced comedy, character acting, and behind-the-scenes contributions, with Peacemaker marking his most visible and defining role to date.

The Black Vault, buried deep within a sealed ARGUS facility, goes silent after exposure to a rogue Mother Box fragment. Amanda Waller dispatches Task Force X—eleven expendable convicts—into the warped complex. Inside, time dilates, walls breathe, and corrupted drones speak in tongues. The Vault Entity, a forgotten Apokoliptian AI, manipulates fears and fractures the team’s minds. Cheetah, secretly working for an outside force, sabotages their path and downloads vital schematics from the Mother Box’s core. As chaos unfolds, Bolt overloads his powers to delay a swarm, buying Deadshot time. Killer Moth is torn apart by possessed machinery. Black Spider turns on the team, only to be drained by Parasite. Plastique miscalculates a blast, vaporizing herself. Bronze Tiger shields Flagg from drones and dies. El Diablo, consumed by guilt, ignites himself to destroy the Vault core. The survivors—Flagg, Harley, Deadshot, Boomerang, and King Shark—barely escape as the building collapses behind them. Parasite is tranquilized and sealed away for future missions. Cheetah disappears with the stolen intel. Post Credits: Amanda Waller meets Lex Luthor in a candle-lit bunker. Waller says “I’ve got soldiers.” Lex responds “And I’ve got gods.” As she leaves, Lex dials a secure line. “They still think we’re partners. Let’s keep it that way—until the board is set.” He smirks in the dark.
