• Late chapter 1 - early chapter 2. Why did so many people attend Blake's death if he was a 'villain'?—RA

• Throughout the reading I can't find a reason why Blake was named 'The Comedian'. Do you guys have any insight to that?—RS

• "Which world would you rather live in, if you had the choice?" P. 5 – Hollis Mason – Under the Hood [insert between chs. I and II]—SC

• On page 8 of "Under the Hood" [insert between chs. II and III], Mason says "Yes, we were crazy, we were Nazis, all those things that people say. We were also doing something because we believed in it. We were attempting, through our personal efforts, to make our country a safer and better place to live in." Does their intention make up for their collective personal shortcomings? How much do the personal opinions of heroes matter?—KM

• Hollis Mason closes chapters 4 and 5 of his autobiography [inserts between chs. II and III and between chs. III and IV] on a similar note. At the end of 4 "Minutemen...damage had already been done" and at the end of 5 "Super-hero... part of American life for better or worse". Is he expressing nostalgia and regret at the same time? What connotation does he put on the "consequence" of his 23 years behind the mask?—JP

• What are your thoughts on Dr. Manhattan? Does he have legitimate feelings/emotions? Does he really care, or does he place himself above the rest of humanity? (E.g., chapter 3 page 9)—JB

• Is Dr. Manhattan a coward for leaving Earth? Ch 3 page 26—BH

• on Ch.III p.28 Do you think the Bible verse from Genesis represents Dr. Manhattan?—SM

• My question comes from page 8 of chapter 4. John becomes Dr. Manhattan and is now endowed with abilities that could be used to help people. Because he did not choose to become this, is it his responsibility to help others with these powers?—CD

• Chapter 4, page 14. Is Dr. Manhattan inherently good or evil or neither? He says after fighting crime "the morality of my activities escapes me" and also on page 21 he mentions that all other scientists are limited by their consciences. So is he just careless or perhaps his condition makes him so calculating he cannot even fathom emotions? What do you guys think?—KW
