Ben is a flight attendant for Sun Airlines who was working the flight that Chris Smith (Peacemaker) and his eagle Eagly were taking to go on vacation.

The flight was hijacked by the League Of Assassins, who kidnapped all of the passengers and crew and deposited them in a forest to be hunted for sport.

After defeating the first assassin Chris stripped down to change into his Peacemaker uniform, much to the delight of Ben, who found the hunky hero very attractive. Peacemaker tossed Ben his used underpants, which Ben sniffed.

While he and Eagly continued to defend Ben and the other surviving passengers from the assassins, Peacemaker proposed that someone could have sex with him afterward as a reward for saving them all. Ben enthusiastically volunteered, and Peacemaker admonished him not to be so eager, saying that it wasn’t attractive and that the thrill of the chase is half the fun.

Ben and some of the other passengers joined the fight against the assassins, beating one of them to death with rocks. As the civilians started to absorb what they had done, Ben commented “We survived. We’re survivors. Just like Queen Bey when she was in Destiny’s Child”.

While he was working Ben was calm and in control, not even intimidated to scold Eagly into behaving and following the airline rules. There were indications that he could be a party boy outside of working hours; when he awoke from the assassins’ knockout gas Ben referred to having a cocaine-ketamine hangover.

Ben first appeared in Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double-Feature #1 by Rex Ogle, Matteo Lolli and story consulting by James Gunn. The comic is inspired by the Peacemaker television series and the characterizations and likenesses of Peacemaker and Vigilante are based on the portrayals in that show, but this comic is not officially canon to that continuity.
