The ensuing chaos averts World War III and ushers in a new era of global cooperation. 2, 1985 – 3 million killed in New York City after Veidt teleports a giant, telepathic, genetically engineered squid into midtown Manhattan. Rorschach’s journal is delivered to the New Frontiersman offices. Lady Trieu conceived when her mother artificially inseminates herself with Veidt’s genetic material.įogancingauthor Max Shea, and anyone who can connect Adrian Veidt to 11/2 is killed. Blake is expelled from the Minutemen shortly after. Hooded Justice intervenes and severely beats Blake. 2, 1940 – Edward Blake sexually assaults Sally Jupiter (Silk Spectre I) after a meeting of the Minutemen.
Ma– Walter Joseph Kovacs ( Rorschach) born. Mid 1939 – The Minutemen, the first superhero team, are formed thanks to an alliance between Sally Jupiter’s manager (and future husband) Laurence Schexnayder and Nelson “Captain Metropolis” Gardner. The Silhouette, The Comedian, Silk Spectre I, Captain Metropolis, Dollar Bill, and Mothman, all similarly inspired by the exploits of Hooded Justice, make their crimefighting debut shortly after. 1938 – After intervening in a mugging after he had been the victim of a racist attack by his police office colleagues, Will Reeves makes his costumed debut as Hooded Justice, tracking the activity of a group known as Cyclops, an apparent offshoot of the Ku Kux Klan.ġ939 – Hollis Mason debuts as Nite Owl. He carries it with him until passing it on to Will. It’s here he picks up (and keeps) a German propaganda flier indicating that there’s more racial equality in Germany than there is in the United States. I don’t consider DC’s Before Watchmen prequels canon (and apparently neither does this show) but I DID cheat and use dates from some long out-of-print Watchmen roleplaying game supplements that Alan Moore consulted on to date a couple of events from the book.ġ908 – Nelson Gardner ( Captain Metropolis) born.ġ918 – Obie Williams, Will Reeves’ father and the great-grandfather of Angela Abar, serves during World War I. and let's go home.To compile this complete Watchmen timeline, I only used stated dates from the book by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, dates and events from the show itself, dates noted in HBO’s official supplemental materials, Peteypedia, and the occasional date from actual real life (for example, the birth of lawman Bass Reeves). For you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. As if new, it may still take our breath away. Yet seen from the another's vantage point. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions.

Anybody in the world.But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget. I mean, you could say that about anybody in the world!. The thermodynamic miracle.īut.if me, my birth, if that's a thermodynamic miracle. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold. Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive meeting siring this precise son that exact daughter. I long to observe such a thing.Īnd yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold.

Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.ĭoes that answer your Questions, Doctor?” The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs.
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces.
No meaning save what we choose to impose. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. There is nothing else.Įxistence is random. Born from oblivion bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.
Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent.
