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.
Henry Dorsett Case is a low-level hustler in the dystopian underworld of Chiba City, Japan. Once a talented computer hacker, Case was caught stealing from his employer. As punishment for his theft, Case's central nervous system was damaged with a mycotoxin, leaving him unable to access the global computer network in cyberspace, a virtual reality dataspace called the "matrix". Case is unemployable, suicidal, and apparently at the top of the hit list of a drug lord named Wage. Case is saved by Molly Millions, an augmented "street samurai" and mercenary for a shadowy ex-military officer named Armitage, who offers to cure Case in exchange for his services as a hacker. Case jumps at the chance to regain his life as a "console cowboy," but neither Case nor Molly knows what Armitage is really planning. Case's nervous system is repaired using new technology that Armitage offers the clinic as payment, but he soon learns from Armitage that sacs of the poison that first crippled him have been placed in his blood vessels as well. Armitage promises Case that if he completes his work in time, the sacs will be removed; otherwise they will dissolve, disabling him again.
