Superman of the Marvel Universe

Decompose matter...

The second generation Rorschach clearly remembered that he had seen Doctor Manhattan turn a tank into atomic dust on a TV show.

At that time, the military vigorously promoted this human being who became a god due to an accident, and even said the classic saying——

“God exists and He is American!”

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

No soft blue light, no bald head, and clothes on…

This is completely inconsistent with Dr. Manhattan's external image.

"I'm sorry, you got the wrong person."

Luke shook his head. He was not the exhibitionist who liked to walk birds.

After he gathered enough information, he began to search for the whereabouts of the Pharaoh.

From the second generation Rorschach entering the police cell, rescuing the puppet and mime, and then entering the secret base in the sewer.

Luke took all in his eyes and followed him all the way here.

After Dr. Manhattan left the Watchmen universe, the only person in the world worthy of him meeting in person was probably Adrian Veidt.

If Luke is asked to choose a suitable helper to deal with the hot blue man walking the bird on Mars.

Pharaoh is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He knew Dr. Manhattan so well that he even found something he could exploit in a "god" who had no weaknesses at all.

The disappearing humanity, the increasingly indifferent emotions... Adrian was the first person besides the comedian to notice this.

Dr. Manhattan once witnessed the comedian shoot a pregnant woman. He could have stopped it, but he didn't.

President Nixon asked him to participate in the war. He could have refused, but he did not.

Because Dr. Manhattan can foresee the future, time intervals have no impact on him.

His mind can be in the past and the future at the same time, like walking freely in an empty room.

Therefore, in Dr. Manhattan's view, everything that happens is a predetermined trajectory.

He just observes but does not actively intervene.

The Pharaoh took advantage of this and accomplished his plan.

Even though Dr. Manhattan knew everything, his absolutely calm and rational thinking told him that Adrian was right.

Therefore, he chose to kill Rorschach, who might lead to the outbreak of war and increase the variables.

But he spared the Pharaoh who caused a massacre and made himself the scapegoat.

Because in Dr. Manhattan's mind, human anger, hatred, and contempt have no impact on him.

He just felt that the earth was too complicated and wanted to leave, which was exactly what Adrian expected to see.

"who are you?"

The Pharaoh looked slightly solemn.

Luke has shown terrible abilities that are different from ordinary people.

This reminded him, like Rorschach II, of Dr. Manhattan.

“Can’t the smartest man in the world guess it?”

Luke smiled, he used space teleportation to appear suddenly, and then decomposed the screwdriver that attacked.

Through his performance, he initially shocked the Pharaoh.

In this world, except for Dr. Manhattan, there are no real superpowers.

The earliest batch of cross-dressing heroes were composed of a group of police officers with a strong sense of justice.

They found that the law alone could not give those criminals the sanctions they deserved. The other party could still get away with it by hiring a lawyer or other means.

As a result, the police put on masks and fancy clothes after get off work to punish the villains themselves.

The cross-dressing heroes aroused interest as they were published in newspapers.

Everyone likes to talk about their behavior and clothing, and the police department and the government also express praise and encouragement.

In that era when law and order were relatively chaotic and weak, the emergence of cross-dressing heroes was something everyone was happy to see.

This group of people later formed a group called the "Militia", with members including "Captain of Metropolis", "First Generation Night Owl", "Laughing Craftsman", "First Generation Silk Soul", "Black Silhouette", "Hundred Dollar Bill", etc. .

But their subsequent fate was not so good.

Some were sent to sanatoriums because of alcoholism; some were shot dead by homophobic conservative groups; some became government agents and did dirty work; some retired and opened auto repair shops...

Of course, the most unlucky thing would be to get his cloak caught in the revolving door and die with the "hundred-dollar bill" snatched away by the gangsters.

He once caused heated discussions among the group of cross-dressing heroes, such as "whether the uniform should have a cape" and "whether the cape will affect the battle."

Later, after the militia was disbanded, a new generation of characters appeared one after another, including Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, Pharaoh, the second generation Night Owl and the second generation Silk Soul.

This is the evolution of the cross-dressing heroes of the Watchmen universe, who are essentially a bunch of vigilantes without superpowers.

The opponents he faced were only gang leaders, vicious gangsters, and murderers.

Unlike the superheroes on the set next door who can fly and escape and are omnipotent.

"I don't know how to predict things. How could I guess it?"

Adrian kept smiling on the surface, but in fact his brain was running at high speed and he was making various guesses.

Smart people always think a lot. The less they give answers, the more they think about it.

"Okay, who am I and where do I come from...these questions are actually not important."

Luke held out his hands in a friendly gesture.

The criminal couple, Marionette and Mime took two steps back.

They sensed a dangerous aura similar to Dr. Manhattan's from this man.

They are all beings that cannot be offended anyway!

"The important thing is that I can help you and provide you with information about Dr. Manhattan."

Luke said with a smile.

This made the Pharaoh's pupils shrink slightly, and he got some useful information from it.

"Have you met Joe?"

Adrian asked tentatively.

"I have seen."

Luke answered truthfully.

"where is it?"

Pharaoh then asked.

"Mars."

Luke spoke in a kind tone and said casually: "To be honest, Dr. Manhattan and I have some personal grudges."

"He gave me a one-way ticket to vacation, and I had to repay this gift."

The corners of Adrian's mouth twitched, sounding like an enemy.

Being a rival to Dr. Manhattan and still alive is a sign of strength.

At least as far as Pharaoh saw, those who tried to attack and resist when Dr. Manhattan was fighting crime would only end up in the same end.

That is when the flesh and blood suddenly exploded and turned into puddles of sticky tomato sauce.

Adrian had also made such preparations before designing the other party.

But Dr. Manhattan agreed with his point of view and did not take action. Instead, he chose to leave alone.

"So, what are you going to do?"

The Pharaoh controlled his thoughts and emotions very well, and he knew how to deal with such a strong man.

One word, honesty.

The reason why he was able to hide from Dr. Manhattan and secretly set up the next plan.

It's because he never lies during normal chats or questions.

Dr. Manhattan could detect abnormalities in the Pharaoh's heartbeat, subtle changes in his expression, or read his thoughts at any time - even though the other party had never done that.

But Adrian has to take this into consideration.

Every time he faced Dr. Manhattan, he used honesty, the art of language, and even constantly hypnotized himself so that the other party did not notice the problem.

"I want to leave this universe."

Luke looked at the Pharaoh, the self-proclaimed smartest man in the world. His heartbeat was steady, his breathing was gentle, and he had a cautious expression on his face, but this was just a disguise.

The other party must be planning his own plan in his head.

"Leave...the universe?"

Adrian hesitated.

"Yes, isn't this modified Night Owl airship the tool you prepared to track Dr. Manhattan?"

Swish!

Luke raised his hand and pulled off the dust-proof cloth, immediately creating a choking dust that made everyone else cover their faces and cough.

"Am I wrong?"

The Pharaoh shook his head. He had indeed made full preparations to find the "God" of the Watcher universe.

But why would the other party know this?

For a moment, Adrian's thoughts were confused and he thought of many things.

"But before we leave, we still have some time to chat."

Luke, who was completely in control, lightly snapped his fingers, and the puppets, pantomime, and Rorschach II inside the base were instantly teleported out.

He and the Pharaoh were the only ones left in the chaotic space.

"What are you talking about?"

Adrian held his breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Let's start with your non-existent cancer."

Luke tossed the first chip lightly.

"...you know this too?"

Pharaoh's expression finally changed, and he once again experienced the feeling of facing Dr. Manhattan.

Omniscient, Omnipotent!

There are no secrets at all!

Could it be said that the departure of one "god" caused the emergence of another "god"?
