Peacekeeper X? James Tynion IV's run in Batman with Jorge Jimenez and others has been notable for the new comic book characters he has been introducing to the streets of Gotham. Punchline, Ghost-Maker, Clownhunter, Vengeance, Miracle Molly and many more. And in September, Tynion and Jorge Jimenez are adding another – Peacekeeper X. The Peacekeepers in Future State were cybernetically enhanced individuals used to run fascist policing systems across Gotham, yeah having their own patch. Recent issues of Batman have seen the first, Sean Mahoney, Peacekeeper -01, commissioned by Saint Industries with more to come. But who is Peacekeeper X? Red X in yet another mask?
