Which of the Watchmen do you most identify with?

[Danger Mouse]

The whole point of the Watchmen is that they are people with realistically portrayed problems, and I certainly know I could identify with certain things characters were feeling or going through.
It's just written that well. So for those of you who enjoyed the Watchmen, whether book or movie, which character's experiences and personality spoke to you the most?

A. The Comedian: You've seen the true, savage face of humanity, and cope by becoming a parody of it. You are harsh, brutal, and cruel, because that's what the world is. You think of everything as a joke, but not the funny kind of joke. You understand human nature perhaps better than anybody else, and that's what's made you such a callous cynic.

B. Rorschach: Like the Comedian, you understand the savage nature of humanity, but you choose to cope with it by trying to make a difference. You used to be fairly moderate, but some of your worst experiences have made you into an unhinged hardliner. You have an absolutist, black-and-white view of the world, and there is no room for compromise. You handle even the most dangerous situations with ruthless efficiency, and are greatly feared by those who dare to challenge you.

C. Silk Spectre II: You just want a normal life, but secretly you miss your adventurous superhero days. You have trouble coping with realities in your past that you've been in denial of for years. You come to realize that love and hate aren't as simple as they seem and become a much more mature person for it. In the end, your desire to adventure and helps others wins out over your stated love for 'ordinary life.'

D. Nite Owl II: You're pretty much an ordinary guy. You REALLY miss being a superhero, but you are afraid of being unable to protect the people you care about. The seemingly inevitable impending nuclear war only makes this feeling worse. As long as you continue to be afraid of your own strength, you will be unable to help anybody, least of all yourself.

E. Dr. Manhattan: You are completely unable to relate to people. You almost entirely devoid of emotion, and your lack of feeling makes it difficult for you to communicate with others. You come across as aloof and callous, and the Comedian even accuses you of not caring about humanity at all. Being a god is tough, isn't it?

F. Ozymandias: You are incredibly intelligent, and you believe it is your destiny to change the world. You have the potential to do things both great and terrible. You are a master strategist, and always plan for the long term. You have no qualms about eliminating obstacles with extreme prejudice, and it would seem you are rarely truly caught off guard...

1. Its hard to decide, its a toss up between the Comedian and

Rorschach....

Both characters are my favorite from the movie/comic, if I was put to the test though, I think I'd lean more Rorschach than Comedian, so I go with Rorschach. :D

[Danger Mouse]

2. I can totally understand the Comedian...

but I wouldn't want to be LIKE him...
:scared:

[Broken_Hero]

3. I understand him as well

I can see examples of this guy all over the place, not as violent perhaps, but they are on the same road.

13. That's the scary part.

It's like The Joker. He exists in all of us and it's all too easy to give in to that part our human nature.

4. I've always most identified with Ozymandias...

that used to bother me more than it does now.

He might do a terrible thing but he truly believes it's the only thing that will save humanity. And...perhaps it does. That doesn't make it less sick...but I think it requires more thought than most people will give it. It's John Stuart Mill's concept of Utilitarianism carried to its' extreme end.

[Danger Mouse]

6. Dr. Manhattan admits he understands Ozymandias' actions...

without condoning or condemning them.
His actions seem evil, but they serve a higher purpose...a great evil to serve a greater good.

5. Mothman...

Dragged off the asylum before the movie even really got started.

7. I'm tired of earth...these people. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Captain Punch-In-The-Face.

Oh wait, that was a different story.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. The one with the big blue wang.

In fact, I made a list of the top 3 most desirable superpowers, and I came up with (in ascending order):

3. X-ray vision
2. Ability to fly
1. Big blue wang

[Curtland1015]

10. Nite Owl, most definitely.

I'm a big worrier.

Yeah I said Nite Owl and not Nite Owl II, big whoop, wanna fight about it?

:P

[Joe the Liberal]

11. Nite Owl 2 is my favorite.....

But I don't identify with him all that much.In fact I'm not really sure whom I identify with, I voted for Manhattan because he is probably the closest.

[Orsino]

12. I think they're all identifiable...

...even the most effed up one of all, Rorschach. That's the best thing about Watchmen, IMO.

The most normal ones, Laurie and Dan, are probably the easiest to identify with. Ozymandias, perhaps, least of all.

[proteus_lives]

14. Gotta be Nite-Owl II.

Hits too many of my own buttons.

[rcrush]

15. I'm Dr Manhattan cause I have big blue johnson

I like to walk around naked. And I gots the super powers over the ladies!

[RandomThoughts]

16. Bruce Willis?????? or maybe

a mule... fish... pig... naaahhhh, just being myself is fine.

For humor.
