Edward Blake (Earth-4605)

"Oh, please. None of you get it, do you? This is all a big fuckin' joke. The Minutemen didn't work out back then, the Watchmen sure as shit ain't gonna work out now. You can all kid yourselves into thinking your heroes, but all these people respond to is violence. So why don't we just give the people what they want? Maybe it'll finally shut 'em up."

- The Comedian

The Comedian was a former member of the Minutemen and the Watchmen. He is the father of fellow former Watchmen Silk Spectre. He now works as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and takes doses of a Super-Soldier Serum variant to maintain his youthful looks and abilities.

 * Although he never truly got along with his Watchmen teammates, he always respected Rorschach's way of doing things, simply because of his extreme willingness to kill.
