In 1966, he was invited to join the Crimebusters by Captain Metropolis, but he quickly ruined the older hero's hopes of a new team by mocking him, and pointing out that old fashioned crime fighting methods would not save the world from nuclear war. Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl, had published his autobiography Under the Hood by this point and in it disclosed the Comedian's sexual assault on Sally Jupiter/Silk Spectre. īy the late 1960s, Blake had begun working as a covert government operative. It is also implied, but not directly stated, that he murdered Hooded Justice in revenge for the beating he suffered. He fought in World War II, becoming a war hero in the Pacific theater. He retained the small domino mask and began carrying a pistol. He adopted a leather outfit that served as light body armor, adorned with short star-and-stripe-themed sleeves and a small happy face button. In the 1940s, Blake updated his Comedian uniform, after being stabbed by a small-time hood. Blake impregnated Silk Spectre with her daughter and successor, Laurie, during a secret, consensual encounter years later. The Comedian was expelled from the group-but Silk Spectre's agent persuaded her not to press charges against him for fear of what it would do to the group's image.
After a photography shoot, he attempts to rape fellow Minuteman Silk Spectre she escapes only when another Minuteman, Hooded Justice, interrupted the assault and beat Blake, breaking his nose. He became the youngest member of The Minutemen, a prominent group of heroes. A brutal vigilante, Blake manages to expunge most organized crime from the New York harbor. When he first became a costumed adventurer in 1939, he dressed in a clown-like costume with a simple domino mask. The Comedian was a cigar-chomping, gun-toting vigilante-turned- paramilitary agent. He is also mentioned in Under the Hood, the fictional autobiography of Hollis Mason (Nite Owl I) that appears in Watchmen issues 1–3. The Comedian's appearances in Watchmen consist of flashbacks of the other characters. The main plot of Watchmen initially involves Rorschach's suspicion of a plot to kill costumed heroes ("masks") his continuing investigation into Blake's murder leads to a much larger, more horrifying secret. Fellow crimefighter Rorschach, independently investigating the murder, discovers that Blake was in fact the Comedian. The story of Watchmen starts with the aftermath of Edward Blake's murder in 1985. Moore imagined the Comedian as a mix between the Peacemaker with "a little bit of Nick Fury" and "probably a bit of the standard Captain America patriotic hero-type". As with most of the main characters in the series, he was an analogue for a Charlton Comics character, in this case the Peacemaker. The Comedian was created by writer Alan Moore with artist Dave Gibbons.
