“ | “ Our kind traveled here from a planet that had become unlivable. Your planet had the habitat we needed: water to drink, and air to breathe. Your food couldn’t sustain us, but that’s why we brought her. The cow would help the last of our people survive for another hundred years. But not long after we arrived, we realized the people of earth were on the exact same trajectory as our people had been; ignoring science in favor of populist leaders, who tell you that the floods and the fires and the disease are unrelated to your own actions, valuing profit over survival, treating minor inconveniences as assaults on your freedom. And so, we made a vow to do anything we could to change your future. We made a vow to make the choices for you that you were incapable of making on your own, to save your people and your world, no matter how many lives it cost us. Murn disagreed with our methods. He didn’t think we had the right to impose our will. But you’re one of us, Christopher Smith. „ | „ |

Eek Stack Ik Ik, also known as Goff, is the main antagonist of Season 1 of the 2022 DC Extended Universe streaming series Peacemaker.

In her quest, Eek Stack Ik Ik started possessing humans, who she views as puppets.

She is portrayed by Antonio Cupo while possessing/posing as Royland Goff and by Annie Chang while possessing/posing as Sophie Song.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Heinous?[]
Background[]
- When she and the other Butterflies landed on Earth to escape their dying planet, even though the others initially wanted to co-exist with humans, she instead convinced them to take over Earth by possessing the humans in positions of political power with herself possessing United States senator Royland Goff, thus becoming their queen.
- Unlike G rated forms of possession where the victim is left intact, the Butterflies actually kill their hosts by possessing them, complete with the victims spitting out blood as their brains are being eaten, making this too horrific to be Fridge Horror.
- Her plans for world domination were so horrible that one of the Butterflies, Ik Nobe Llok, betrayed her and possessed a man named Climson Mun to lead a rebellion of humans to stop the Butterflies.
Peacemaker[]
- After escaping her jar, she possessed and killed police officer Sophie Song.
- Using Sophie Song's body, she summoned a swarm of Butterflies to take over the Evergreen Police Department, horrifically killing all the police officers.
- She shot Mun's body, forcing Ik Nobe Llok out of Mun's body before cruelly crushing him to death and saying he should have joined them.
- She tried to convince Peacemaker to help them conquer Earth, but Peacemaker refused and summoned his human torpedo helmet (with Abaydo still wearing it) to destroy the cow, foiling Eek Stack Ik Ik's plans to enslave humanity.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- She was once a benevolent leader who saw her place and only tried to take over Earth after losing her home planet due to its dying resources, making her too tragic to be NPE.
- She cares for her race since her overall plan was to build a home on Earth for the Butterflies to live. She even used a cow to supply them with food in their year of planning.
- She's a well-intentioned extremist since she believes she's making peace by possessing humans and making them "better", even drawing a peace symbol in the jar she was imprisoned in by Peacemaker.
- She redeemed herself by living with Peacemaker as his pet and never tried to kill him or anyone else ever again.
Trivia[]
- She and the other Butterflies can be considered a foil to Starro as both are animal-like aliens named as "Project" with the power to posses sentient life by attaching themselves onto their skin, but the one difference is that Starro was happily drifting through space before being forcibly brought to Earth, controlled its victims through a Hive Mind by attaching smaller versions of itself to their faces, was trapped in a lab for most of its time on Earth, escaped and violently rampaged through the streets before Task Force X put it down while the Butterflies came to Earth willingly, seeking a new home before deciding to conquer it, and are more subtle, intending to take over Earth through a quieter conspiracy, and actually going inside their victims.
