The Most Character Ever Tournament - Round 1 Set 27

In this tournament, we will be searching to find the most character ever! I challenge you to decide on an adjective before you see the characters and stick with it throughout all the polls. I go a bit more into detail in this post.

Gunpowder Tim from The Mechanisms

Claimed to be the most gender by the person who submitted him

“loves violence. immortal space pirate. homeorotic relationship with his best friend. blew up the moon. chaotic”

Ursula Zandt/Silhuette from Watchmen/ Minutemen comics

Claimed to be the most underrated by the person who submitted her

“Silhuette is a 'costumed adventurer' (which is basically Watchmen code for vigilante) and despite the fact that she barely appears on any panels (which is a CRIME) I'm here to convince you that she's the best comic book superhero ever. She was born in 1917 in Austria, and she's both jewish AND a lesbian, which as you're all probably aware was not a very fortunate combination of attributes during those times. Anyways, she got catcalled at 15 years old by a cop so she punched him, which, iconic. Then in '35 she and her parents fled to America where she took up this very cool new hobby called ""hunting down child sex trafficers"". Mind you, she did this with no superpowers, and she was so good at it the Minutemen (which is like this really famous crime fighting team in this universe) asked her to join. Unfortunately her career was cut short by the fact that some petty criminal murdered both her and her lover in their sleep in literally one of the most brutal ways I've ever seen on comic panels. (And I'm still not over it). Also PLEASE look up her black and white trenchcoat outfit, not only is she a crime-fighting, cop-punching, sex-trafficer-murdering jewish lesbian, she's also the saviour of hundreds of children AND a fashion icon.”

Silhouette (Ursula Zandt) from Before Watchmen: Minutemen

#darwyn cooke #silhouette #minutemen #watchmen #dc comics

The Comedian and Silk Spectre (Watchmen)

I have to preface this by saying: "I don't support beating spouses or women as a means for dating" and I *DEFINITELY* don't support rape.

I'm talking about an imperfect relationship between two people in a fictional world who are both suffering from gender stereotyping, PTSD, and being gritty superheros post vietnam war horrors.

It was the particular scene where the comedian attempts to rape the Silk Spectre, that I learned something, this was Eddies f* up way of flirting. And, because of where it took place, he knew he would be caught, and that was part of the game he was playing. (As a comedian, the joke maybe.)

The comic book might have different connotations. But in this movie, after the attempted rape, Sally eventually does what every person suffering Stockholm syndrome does; f* her abuser, and has his child. It's emphasized that the second encounter was not rape, and her own decision to keep her child, whom she loves.

Because she understands the nature of the relationship with the comedian, they don't acknowledge any kind of deeper connection that they *might* have.

I have to state again: I don't condone that kind of relationship, and both the movie and the comics reinforce the idea that the relationship is not healthy, and certainly not any kind of goal. And, maybe it shouldn't even been depicted.

In the comic; Her agent even persuades her not to press charges against the Comedian for fear of damaging the group's image. Which ensures that EVERYBODY in this situation believes it was a legitimate rape. And since it was the 70s, can't be damaging the superhero groups image, even though they (the group) want nothing more to press charges.

And because they don't, they treat comedian as a complete outcast, going as far as to exile him from their group, and completely severe ties with him.

It's this isolation that causes him to commit harikiri.

But even after that, the comedian's death affects Sally deeply.

Now why do I think that rape wasn't Comedian's intent. (Still not saying it's right).

Even today gender roles are ingrained behavior in a lot of people. Men are men women are women. And because women are women, it's women who are exploited and mostly saved.

Silk Spectre spent a lot of time saving and protecting women, but never got to experience being saved herself.

This is actually the entire premise of Watchmen as a series and a movie. "Who watches the watchmen?" There's a line constantly being talked about: Who protects the watchmen?

When Silhouette (Ursula Zandt) was found out to be a lesbian, she was expelled from the group too. Same punishment as Comedian. In the comics, it's explained that it was to protect the gay men's reputation in the group.

Later Ursula and her Lover Gretchen are killed in their apartment, and the minutemen aren't there to protect *them*. Nobody even cares about that part, but they did protect their group from raping each other!

These themes are constantly following the watchmen around, when one of them becomes a literal god that can and considered just wrecking humanity, and another the smartest of all paints that "God" as ready and willing to stop humanity from sinning. And the only one to reveal the truth was Rorschach.

Rorschach himself is personally tortured for a multitude of things, one is because he kills a person without evidence that he kidnapped and killed a child. (Depicted in the movie in such a way that makes the audience as mad as he is.)

I'm not saying he was wrong, I AM saying, he didn't have all the evidence.

Remember what I said about the sexual themes above? Gender roles, anti-gay rhetoric. Gays against lesbians. Rorschach himself literally wears a woman's dress as the main piece of his costume while covering it up with a trench coat.

All he saw were some bones and some panties.

Albeit, in an incredibly precarious situation.

But he never verified that those bones weren't chicken bones, and he never verified those panties weren't the size the man he killed wore.

That's the playing with those gender tropes I'm talking about. The things we don't think of when it comes to the LGBTQIA.

This gritty realism where the superheros are working with limited information, outside the law, without ever arresting anybody. In one case murdering an entire prison just to get off in an owl spaceship.

Doing the hero thing cuz it's sexy, not because it's the right thing.

Everybody doing exactly the wrong thing, because they have all the powers and nobody to keep them accountable, or safe.

So what about the Comedian?

Sally has spent her life as a sex symbol, it's cannon that she is "a big fan" of her Tijuana bibles. (That depict her in all sorts of sexual ways). The villains she captures give up, just because they don't mind being caught by her. (And it's possible that they even commit crimes in the hopes that she is the hero that stops them!)

She is both the objectified comic book hero that we complain of existing in comic books, the result of the people with high fame that are in those positions in real life, and molded with that female gender stereotype, that every woman gets to be the damsel *except* her. Because she's the "strong one."

And the comedian sees this, and not only *doesn't rape her*. Intentionally gets the shit beat out of him, just so that she can get the experience, one time, of somebody coming to her rescue.

The alternate view point being: he did it in a super hero club house, with everybody there, including Sally's closeted gay boyfriend, making all the noise to get other's attention because he thought they would let him get away with it.

Or you know, everybody was kind of a piece of shit, and f* up from all sorts of trauma.

I didn't write the thing. But it's definitely weird how the whole thing is centered around keeping one man's identity (Hooded Justice) and sexual orientation 100% secret that kinda allowed all sorts of misogyny.

And sacrificial lesbians.
