I certainly wouldn't want to be one of the characters in Watchmen, but in a way I identify with all of them: I identify with Rorschach's desire for justice free from the shortcomings and inconsistencies of "The Law". I identify with Dr. Manhattan's increasing sense of detachment from the rest of humanity. I identify with the Comedian's belief that life is all a joke. I identify with Nite Owl II's desire for a world where the heroes are actually heroic.<BR/><BR/>Were I forced to pick a favorite character, however, I'd go with The Comedian.
