Comedian (Watchmen)

The Comedian is a character in the Comic book and movie Watchmen. His real name is Edward Blake. He was a member of both the original Minutemen and the Crimebusters (however he was expelled from the Minutemen after trying to rape another member (see below) and the Crimebusters never really took off as a group). He may have been on the heroes' side, but he was a violent and sadistic sociopath who was mainly interested in heroism as an excuse and means to hurt criminals. Later, the Comedian worked for the corrupt government and did even more apprehensible things as a soldier in the Vietnam War.

Plot
The Comedian was a member of the original Minutemen. Throughout the movie The Comedian has committed several crimes, because he thought that humans were savages and should be treated like a joke. He eventually found out that Ozymandias was planning to kill roughly 2 million people(15 million in the movie) to save billions. Frightened, he went to see his old enemy, Moloch, telling him that he was the closest friend the Comedian had. When Ozymandias found out, he and the Comedian fought each other, however, Ozymandias easily defeated him and he murdered the Comedian by tossing out a window. The other masked heroes investigated the Comedian's death and they found out that Ozymandias was the one who murdered the Comedian, because he found out about Ozymandias' plan.
