David Denman came to fame playing Roy Anderson over 31 episodes of The Office. It took him one episode of the second season of Peacemaker to make his presence known.
Playing an alternate dimension version of Peacemaker’s brother, Keith, Denman was a standout in “The Ties That Grind.” The episode teased John Cena‘s Christopher Smith with a what if…? scenario in which the dynamics of his family were completely flipped from the violence he had known in his own dimension, where he killed his brother and father. Instead, Smith stumbles into a world where his father, Auggie, and his brother work with him to fight crime as the Top Trio; however, while Chris is Peacemaker and Auggie looks to still be the White Dragon, Keith’s alter ego was kept secret…until now.
In an interview with Comic Book, Denman revealed that his character goes by the name Captain Triumph, a Crack Comics character created in 1943 who later came under the purview of DC Comics.
Though it’s highly unlikely Denman’s version of the character will share much with his comic book counterpart, it’s a fun nod to a character with a very interesting publication history.
