The Watchmen

The Transformation

Dr. Manhattan began his story as Dr. Jonathan Osterman, a nuclear scientist in the Manhattan Project for the U.S. Government. During his research, he was locked inside a test chamber and ripped apart atom by atom. He slowly reconstructed himself until he became the superhero known as Doctor Manhattan. He experiences time all at once and has essentially unlimited power. He can create and destroy anything at will and is considered a god by many. The conflict comes from his detachment from humanity and disinterest in humanity’s problems. The U.S. Government tries to turn him into a weapon but he refuses. He becomes an independent entity who follows no orders.

Description and Powers

The Vietnam War was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to 30 April 1975. It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was mostly supported by the Soviet Union and China, while South Vietnam was supported by the United States. The war is widely considered to be a Cold War-era proxy war. It lasted almost 20 years, with direct U.S. involvement ending in 1973.

The Watergate Scandal was a formative time in American History. Five intruders were arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. After a lengthy investigation, it was found that these intruders were paid with money that linked back to Richard Nixon, who was running for re-election at the time. This caused a massive uproar in the United States and broke the trust of the American people.
