Dr. Manhattan, formerly known as "Jonathan-Osterman", was born in a watch family.
During the World War II period, his mother was killed by German gunfire, and his father brought the young Jonathan to New York to seek life.
This is where it all begins.
At that time, Jonathan was obsessed with accurately rotating hands and clicking gears.
Holding a clock is like holding time.
Abstract concepts that were difficult to understand become clear.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jonathan will inherit the family business and become an excellent watchmaker like his father.
But the United States threw a Atomic Bomb into the neon, which not only ended the war, but also changed Jonathan's father's mind.
He realized that atomic science was the power the world needed and that watchmakers could not change anything.
Therefore, Jonathan became a physicist as a matter of course.
Fast forward to the age of thirty, while he was busy doing research, he fell in love for the first time in his life.
Under the introduction of a colleague, Jonathan met a beautiful girl named Jenny.
The two quickly established a relationship and developed into lovers.
The trajectory of fate rotates as accurately as a clockwork.
Its arrival will not be one second earlier or one second later.
A month later, it was an ordinary day as usual.
Jonathan By chance, I left my watch in the room of the intrinsic force field generator.
Because he misestimated the time, the door closed automatically, locking him inside.
Twenty-four seconds passed.
A human dies.
A god is born.
This is the origin story of Dr. Manhattan.
He is a quantum being and a being that is too powerful to be understood.
In the comic "Doomsday Clock", Justice League gathered almost all the superheroes on the earth and went to Mars to stop Dr. Manhattan's plan, but was easily defeated by it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Dr. Manhattan's distant and cold voice interrupted Luke's thoughts.
The latter looked around at the surrounding environment, the reddish-brown desert, the thin and cold atmosphere, the main component of which is carbon dioxide...
If you guessed correctly, this should be Mars.
"I was wondering how I could avoid being killed by you, Doctor."
Luke's eyes flashed, and he was not surprised by the current situation.
The follow-up to Flashpoint, the arrival of New 52 Universe, and the big events that may happen in the future...
A variety of "scripts" are enough for Luke to be prepared and calmly face any surprises.
For example, now.
"I am not an executioner."
Dr. Manhattan denied Luke's statement. He had no intention of killing this outsider.
"But you don't mind being a cleaner and erasing some 'unnecessary' characters, right, Doctor?"
Luke raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically.
However, for such an obvious provocation.
Dr. Manhattan is indifferent, not angry.
His thinking is closer to a cold, rational supercomputer that only values data. Human emotions are gradually disappearing, especially after leaving Watchmen Universe and coming to a new place.
Dr. Manhattan The meaning and purpose of all actions are for "observation".
For example, the variables of the universe and the branches of space and time are the highest priority matters.
However, this does not mean that he is a talkative and good-tempered person.
Any troublemaker who interferes with the act of "observation" will be ruthlessly eliminated by Dr. Manhattan.
For example, Reverse-Flash who discovered the change in the timeline, New Gods Metron - is the guy sitting on Mobius Chair, Owlman of Earth-3, and so on.
They were all erased by Dr. Manhattan at the moment when they were closest to the truth.
Therefore, to communicate with this quantum life, one must maintain a just right distance.
"You want to piss me off?"
Dr. Manhattan seems to have penetrated Luke's thoughts.
"No, I'm just curious about a god's inner emotions."
Luke shook his head, his eyes continued to flash, and asked softly, "Doctor, what are you going to do with me next?"
"Honestly, isn't this a more interesting change to this new multiverse that's coming?"
"As far as I know, you don't hate change, you just don't like to be disturbed."
Dr. Manhattan fell into silence for a short time, as if thinking.
His eyes could not clearly see the past and future of Luke.
It's like a layer of fog hangs over the other person's surface, making everything even more blurry.
That is the power of a higher dimension, a power that comes from outside Source Wall.
Facing an outsider who was hard to see through, Dr. Manhattan also hesitated. What should he do?
Erase?
exile?
accept?
This is like a multiple-choice question, with many options presented to Dr. Manhattan.
However, in less than a second, he completed a huge and complex calculation and deduction.
"The probability that you will cause great damage to this multiverse is 35%."
Dr. Manhattan expressed his conclusion coldly with an expressionless face.
"The possibility of following the rules of the game and allowing the multiverse to develop according to its original trajectory is less than 20%."
"This proves that you are a person who dares to take risks, does not like to follow other people's instructions, is extremely self-confident and confident."
"Considering all the above factors, I think you are a very unstable factor."
Luke raised his eyebrows. It sounded like Dr. Manhattan didn't intend to let him stay on this set.
"So?"
Luke asked pretending to be calm.
If Dr. Manhattan planned to kill him, then he could only call the existence outside the wall to pull him back.
When working for Cosmic Entities of Marvel Universe, or a higher-level existence, personal safety is still guaranteed.
Luke doesn't like to take risks, let alone die.
No matter how powerful Dr. Manhattan is, it will still be greatly restricted when faced with the multiple concepts under Omniverse.
Otherwise, he should have used a thought to erase the creation goddess Perpetua that appeared after Source Wall was broken.
Then, eliminate the chaotic, crazy and unprincipled the Batman Who Laughs.
Instead of being moved by Superman's rhetoric, choose to self-disintegrate.
"I've thought of a place that's just right for you, outsider."
Dr. Manhattan said so.
Luke's eyes were alert and his attention was at its highest.
Is this naked man with no clothes and exhibitionist tendencies trying to put himself in a "cage"?
He has not forgotten that Dr. Manhattan stole ten years of New 52 Universe's time.
The other party is fully capable of intercepting it individually and forming a "huge cage" in time and space.
Similar to how the Ancient One uses Time Stone, intercept the stream for a period of time, and then repeatedly loop, fast forward, and rewind as you like.
Trapping yourself in an independent world is something Dr. Manhattan would do.
"I have the right to say no, Doctor."
Luke is smiling. Tenth Metal's original energy is closely integrated with Superman's body. He does not believe that Dr. Manhattan can erase himself in an instant.
"I mean no harm, Mr. Cahill."
This was the first time Dr. Manhattan called Luke's name, and his tone was still indifferent.
"This is a 'gift' or you can use it as a trick candy for Halloween."
Dr. Manhattan spread his palm, and a yellow round badge appeared.
Two black dots and a simple arc form a smiling face, which is no different from the gifts in ordinary fast food restaurants.
The only thing that seems a little special is probably the few drops of blood splashed out.
"Gift?"
Luke reached out and took the smiling face badge floating in the air. If he admitted it correctly, it was the sign of "Comedian".
In Watchmen Universe, a key figure.
It can even be said that the story begins with him.
"Yes, this gift is... a ticket for vacation."
Dr. Manhattan's tone changed somewhat, and a blue electric light-like force field instantly enveloped Luke.
And at this moment, Superman's body tensed subconsciously, bursting out with powerful power.
The original power of the universe of Tenth Metal resisted the attack exerted by Dr. Manhattan.
But Luke didn't feel that his life was threatened. The huge force field like blue electric light just wrapped the space around him.
boom!
A bright light flashed, and only Dr. Manhattan was left on Mars.
"When I upgrade to the multi-dimensional concept, I must repay this blue man well."
This was the thought that flashed through Luke's mind before he disappeared.
He was teleported out of the forming New 52 Universe and went to another strange place.
"Adrian, what will you do?"
After a long time, Dr. Manhattan closed his eyes and continued to sit cross-legged on Mars.
Behind him, that huge building was precise and perfect, running steadily like a clock.
