Warning: Contains spoilers for Peacemaker episode 4.
The Peacemaker episode 4 ending includes a reveal that Clemson Murn is a Butterfly, but this could create a huge plot hole for the DC TV show’s villains. James Gunn’s second take on the character of Peacemaker after resurrecting him from The Suicide Squad sees him and a team go up against a world-threatening invasion.

However, if Murn had been a Butterfly all along, then it seems strange that he would have allowed the Butterflies inhabiting the Goff family to be killed. If Murn
