    Not sure they can do anything to Dorian assuming that his picture is absent.

    Also, Hyde is a full on metahuman monster. This seems quite unfair.

    That's one of the fun things about Watchmen, too. It's a team of superheroes who are fully human... and a human turned into a full god. There are almost no inbetweens (if any) in the Watchmen verse. Leaving out Manhattan out of the thread is perfectly logical, but then again, even though the others are excellent fighters and thinkers on their own, they're clearly not superhuman.

    Yeah, the movie paints them as... like... obviously beyond what real world humans could do in terms of strength, durability and skill but they are nothing to write home about in the grand scheme of media.

    I thought OP was intentionally using Jekyll, as opposed to Hyde, which makes this more even. It's been a while since I read LoG (and don't recall anything about any of them after the first two series), but didn't Quatermain have guns as standard weapon, or was it a sword? The Comedian definitely has guns.

    But yes, if that's Hyde, someone is getting their arms ripped off.

    Then where's Tom Sawyer? He was in the movie LoEG.

    And if it IS Movie LoEG, then we have vampiress Mina Harker and Hulk Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde (which is amusing, considering Hulk was inspired by the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). It also means that someone isn't likely getting violently sodomized.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.
