Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 5 not only had Peacemaker caught by Harcourt, but the episode also reveals Sasha Bordeaux’s secret and her powers. This revelation comes as a surprise to fans who have previously seen her as an ordinary ARGUS agent.
So, what is the mystery surrounding her, and how is she connected to Batman? Here’s a breakdown.
Who is Sasha Bordeaux in DC and Peacemaker?
In DC Comics, Sasha Bordeaux is best known as Bruce Wayne’s personal bodyguard. Originally assigned by Lucius Fox, she eventually uncovered Bruce’s identity as Batman and went from protector to partner. Their relationship got stronger, leading her into dangerous territory with Gotham’s underworld. At one point, she was framed for murder alongside Bruce and later recruited by the covert organization Checkmate. Her story only got wilder when she became an OMAC cyborg, gaining enhanced abilities but keeping her free will—a rarity among OMACs.
In Peacemaker Season 2, Sasha is reimagined as an ARGUS agent working directly under Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. She first appears when tasked with monitoring Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) after Flag’s death, despite showing initial hesitation. At first, she seems like just another agent doing her job, but Episode 5 flips everything when her true nature is revealed.
What are Sasha Bordeaux’s powers in Peacemaker Season 2?
Sasha Bordeaux is a cyborg with an electronic eye that gives her a deadly advantage. During a standoff, her eye highlights Peacemaker’s weak spots, calculating the exact shot that would kill him.
Later, John Economos spills her backstory to Emilia Harcourt. He explains that Sasha was nearly killed in a plane crash, her body crushed beyond saving. ARGUS intervened, reconstructing her with cybernetic enhancements that replaced half her body with machinery.
This new version of Sasha Bordeaux takes inspiration from her comic book OMAC transformation but grounds it in the gritty ARGUS world of the DCU. Instead of being just another agent, Sasha is now a dangerous hybrid: human enough to feel loyalty, machine enough to become a weapon.
