Who is your favorite Watchman? Mine is Rorschach. I've really been getting into the character as of late and I loved him in the movie too. Who is your favorite?

Rorschach
Dr. Manhattan
Nite Owl II
Silk Spectre
The Comedian

The only one remotely likeable would be Nite-Owl II.

Rorschach is the best of them IMO, no question. Nite Owl second.

I voted for The Comedian.

It's a difficult choice though. They all hold something special. Amusingly I was never a fan of Doctor Manhattan, but the movie changed that for me. Rorschach is very quotable. Nite Owl II is designed to be the person you have the empathy for, although I prefer the original. Silk Spectre holds a certain thing in a whole Bettie Paige kind of way.

Even though he is completely reprehensible The Comedian is the one that really works for me as a character.

Ozymandias isn't on this, so my vote doesn't count. After him I liked Dr. Manhattan.

The favourite character is hard to pick, isn't it? All characters were written in a way that you at certain points hate them and on others have enormous sympathy for them.

In the end I picked Rorschach because his one liners are rock-solid.

Truth. This poll is flawed. As a result, I went with Comedian, but Veidt is my hands-down favorite Watchman.

No Ozymandias?

More and more I've come to appreciate and relate to Dr. Manhattan's indifference to Mankind. So I pick him.

I agree, I voted on who I'd have a beer with!

I'd have a drink with Silk Spectre...if both her love interests couldn't beat me to a fine paste/vaporize me, respectively.

As horrible as the Comedian is, there is something I like about him, so it's him.

I'd probably say Silk Spectre or Doc Manhattan

Well, let's see.
Rorshach was a violent, homophobic psychopath that only Ayn Rand could love(which was the point) and completely unlikable. Fascinating, sure, but hardly any sort of person to emulate.
Doc Manhattan was interesting, but completely detached.
The Comedian was just a disgusting piece of shit, again, probably the point of his character.
I would go with Silk Spectre and Nite Owl, I think.

my thought too. though, Rorschach was at least trying to do the right thing whereas the others were very weak willed and/or stupid.

It's a toss-up between Nite-Owl II and Silk Spectre, seeing as they're the least messed-up.
