Can there be a Watchmen of fate in the MCU?

Watchmen

Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, as well as John Higgins, developed Watchmen, a twelve-issue limited series released by DC Comics in 1986 as well as 1987. The Comedian, Doctor Manhattan, the Nite Owl, Ozymandias, Rorschach, as well as the Silk Spectre are the six primary characters in Watchmen. These characters were based on the Mighty Crusaders before being altered in an unasked-for proposal to match superhero concepts DC had purchased from Charlton Comics inside the early 1980s. The Mighty Crusaders were Moore’s inspiration for the team’s forebears, the Minutemen. Because the publisher intended to incorporate Charlton’s superheroes into to the main DC Universe, as well as the script would have rendered many of them unsuitable for future tales, series writer Alan Moore decided to develop fictional characters.

Moore wanted the major protagonists to portray six “radically conflicting ways” of perceiving the world, and he wanted readers to choose which one was the most ethically understandable. The protagonists from Watchmen appeared again in the prequel series Before Watchmen, which also included backstories for numerous minor characters from the original graphic book as well as new characters.

Later, inside the short series Doomsday Clock, various Watchmen characters resurfaced, bringing them back into the DC Universe. Watchmen is a television series based in the very same universe as the limited series and takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2019.

Dr. Jonathan “Jon” Osterman is indeed the lone character with abilities as well as being a vigilante. He was indeed a physicist who’d been dissolved inside an Intrinsic Field Subtractor in 1959 and changed into a blue, irradiated strong entity. When he returned to the chamber to collect his girlfriend’s watch, the Subtractor started automatically, trapping him within. Osterman’s body was blasted to atoms, and there was nothing left of him. After multiple horrible partial reconstructions, his disembodied spirit was able to recreate a corporeal body for itself within several months. Upon his reanimation, he is driven into service by the US government, who gives him the moniker Doctor Manhattan in honour of the Manhattan Project.

Nite Owl II (Daniel “Dan” Dreiberg) is indeed a superhero who employs owl-themed devices, earning him the nickname “an obsessive hobbyist… a comics lover, a fanboy” from Dave Gibbons.
