Minutemen Watchmen Wiki Fandom

Next on the list of superhero scandals is the Comedian's 1940 attempted rape of Silk Spectre. Then we have the Silhouette being kicked out of the Minutemen in 1946 for being a lesbian, and her subsequent murder in bed along with her lover.. The six main characters of the 1986 comic book limited series Watchmen (from left to right): Ozymandias, the second Silk Spectre, Doctor Manhattan, the Comedian (kneeling), the second Nite Owl, and Rorschach Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins, published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987. Watchmen focuses on six main characters.

The Liquidator wrote the words "Lesbian whores" on their bedroom wall in their blood. Silhouette's death had a profound impact on Silk Spectre who held herself and the Minutemen responsible for abandoning her and avenged her by killing the Liquidator personally. [1]. The words "lesbian whores" were written above their bed. This tragic ending was referenced perhaps once or twice in the original graphic novel, and Silhouette's character was never expanded beyond it. She was an outcast of the group, ostracized for her sexuality and, eventually, brutally slain. I couldn't let her story end like that.
