The Peacemaker season two finale introduces Checkmate, a new intelligence agency formed by Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) and his allies, including former ARGUS agents. This organization is directly inspired by a long-standing DC Comics agency with a history dating back to the 1980s. In the comics, Checkmate's structure is based on a chessboard, with various DC characters holding "royal" positions, and it has evolved from a covert operation to a UN-chartered metahuman monitoring force. The article suggests that this new Checkmate will likely play a significant role in James Gunn's DCU, especially as a counter to the now-hostile ARGUS.
