LEWISTOWN, Pa. — Local superhero enthusiast and ‘Peacemaker’ fan Trevor Plainview is preparing for the second season of the hit James Gunn show by simply being the son of a white supremacist, per multiple reports.
“You know, in most ways, having a white nationalist dad really sucks on the day-to-day”, Plainview stated to press. “But in this one, specific way, it’s kinda cool, because it means I can relate to John Cena’s character, Chris Smith, whose dad is a raging racist and member of the Klan. Feels like my struggle and his struggle are pretty similar, you know? He has a dad who’s a supervillain called White Dragon, and I have a dad who hung a Confederate flag on the living room wall even though we live in a Union state. He gets all cagey whenever you ask him about it.”
When approached for comment, Plainview’s father John had the following to say:
“What? Peace-bringer? Never heard of that, and couldn’t care less what the damn boy’s up to up there all day. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for a, uh…a meeting with a few good buddies. I really gotta go. …Is this gonna be on the local news?”
Nathan Summers, a lifelong friend of Plainview and a fellow Comic-Con attendee, also drew the connection between his pal and the titular character of the popular series.
“Ok, so if Trevor’s Peacemaker, then I guess that makes me Vigilante,” Summers offered via interview. “And he’s definitely Peacemaker. That dad of his is a piece of work, let me tell you. One time in the third grade, the two of us came home with our friend Andrew, who’s half Korean, and Mr. Plainview asked him if he spoke English when he walked into the house. Then he was eyeing us the whole time through the sliding screen door while the three of us played outside, and told Trevor not to bring him around again afterwards. So yeah, I can definitely see how Trevor relates to the show a lot. I think he really enjoyed it when the dad got killed in season one.”
At press time, Plainview was seen donning a Peacemaker costume and seemingly attempting to use its helmet to incinerate his father while he was watching an episode of Duck Dynasty.
