What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Frequently physically, mentally, and verbally abuses his son, Christopher Smith, leaving him with much self-loathing and an abrasive personality that drives others away from him. In Season 2, he was shown to be abusive to Keith too.
- He killed a defenseless alien creature during a hunting trip with his sons. When Keith asked him to spare the being, he shot it from close range before slapping his son for daring oppose him. He also stole the alien's technology and portal to create his White Dragon suit and started a supervillain career.
- When Chris was a kid, he forced him to fight his brother Keith as a form of entertainment for him and his friends. When Chris accidentally killed Keith, Auggie was quick to blame it all on him. Causing Chris to hold it against himself his whole life, even though Auggie himself is indirectly responsible.
- During a flashback to Chris' childhood, it's shown that Auggie had forced him to kill an innocent man he kidnapped for his own amusement.
- He's the one who shaped Chris into the violent extremist known as Peacemaker, meaning he's indirectly responsible for all the crimes his son committed as a misguided vigilante.
- When Chris tells Auggie about Bloodsport's backstory, Auggie sadistically laughs at Bloodsport's expense. Only to go back to mocking Chris after finding out Bloodsport shot him.
- While Chris claims his father hates crime, this is only hypocritical, given his status as a retired Supervillain. Furthermore, Auggie's supposed hatred of crime has not been portrayed onscreen in any way.
- As the leader of the Aryan Empire, he's responsible for many crimes committed by his fellow white supremacists.
- After being framed for the murder of Annie Sturphausen, Auggie threatens to rat Chris out to the police in exchange for his own freedom. Despite knowing Chris had nothing to do with him being framed.
- While he refuses to attack Vigilante after the latter provokes him, he only does so because he could tell Vigilante wanted to kill him in self-defense. He immediately opts to rat Chris out afterward.
- After being released, Auggie assembles the Aryan Brotherhood and decides to kill his son.
- Ambushes Peacemaker, Vigilante, and John Economos and tries to kill them, claiming he should've killed Chris years ago.
- While he took care of Eagly for several years while Chris was in prison, he eventually subverts this by trying to kill Eagly in Episode 7.
- He shows no concern for his fellow Aryans after John Economos mows them down.
- Taunts Peacemaker as the latter punches him in the face and holds him at gunpoint. This turned out to be Auggie's undoing, as Peacemaker shoots him dead soon after.
- Even after his death, the memory of Auggie Smith and all the trauma he caused still haunts Chris and likely will for the rest of his life.
- In spite of Peacemaker being a comedy series, Smith is taken dead seriously, and only has a few comedic moments which do not detract from his villainy.
Trivia[]
