Watchmen does rule. Hell, however I feel about moore (spoiler: I do not care for him as a person) the man has written some of the best graphic novel stories of all time.

So, if you consider both Ozzy and Rory to be duel villian on each end of the scale, would that mean that the hero is the character who is the least driven? Would that make Manhattan the hero? being the center point to the extremists? It fits, being the only one with super powers in a story that's twisting the SUPER hero genre.

I don't think anyone is the hero. I think there are no heroes in the world of Watchmen, and I think that's basically the point. They're all, in their own ways, completely incapable of being heroes - they can't play the role as it's conceived in the superhero drama. Doc Manhattan definitely can't - to be so beyond the human scale that you lose all relation to it, that's not heroism.

The one character I haven't really thought through is Laurie, and I don't remember exactly the tone of her ending off the top of my head, so I don't want to make any definitive statement there about that. But in general, I don't think any of the characters in Watchmen succeed in heroic terms.
