When Damon Lindelof first announced that he would be adapting Alan Moore’s Watchmen for HBO, a lot of fans weren’t really sure how to feel. First off, and fan of Alan Moore or his work is likely aware of his feelings towards Watchmen, its remakes, and DC. Second, It was something that had already been done (with relative success). Lastly, it’s difficult, as a fan, to hear that news and not be excited and cautiously optimistic.

However, Lindelof made even more waves when he announced that his series would be neither a reboot or a direct sequel. So now that the first few episodes have aired, it’s time to narrow down which parts of the comics we know happened, and which parts we’re still curious about.

10 Veidt Tricked Dr. Manhattan Into Leaving Earth - Confirmed

In the comic, Veidt spends a lot of time making sure that pesky Dr. Manhattan won’t be around to screw up any of his “brilliant” plans. First, build tachyon generators in strategic places around the globe to obscure Dr. Manhattan’s vision.

Next, find a bunch of synthetic lithium and convince Dr. Manhattan (& the world) that he has been giving those closest to him cancer. And last, but certainly not least, gigantic telepathic squid in the middle of New York. Boom. Doctor who? Doctor what now? Ozymandius is here to save the day.

9 Rorschach’s Death & Final Words - Confirmed

It’s not a surprise to comics readers that not all of the watchmen make it though Veidt’s master plan alive. The uncompliant among them (Rorschach), met an untimely end at the hands of Dr. Manhattan for the sake of keeping a secret that likely wouldn’t be kept anyway.

While Rorschach may have been blasted into little bits, his words did manage to see another day. His journal, filled with his deepest, darkest thoughts, and his suspicions when it came to Veidt, are all tucked away in the crank file of the New Frontiersman, Rorschach’s favorite local right-wing newspaper.

8 President Robert Redford - Confirmed

In the world of Watchmen, Richard Nixon has done away with term limits and in the world that HBO’s series takes place, he was president for 5 terms before Robert Redford took office. While it may say rather out of the blue, in the comics, Redford’s campaign is openly mocked towards the end of the comic.

It looks like Veidt’s master plan did shift America towards the more liberal values that he himself held, but it may not have turned out how he expected.

7 Rolf Muller - Confirmed

While the HBO series seems to have a different opinion, Rolf Muller was the man who was assumed to be the original masked vigilante, the first hero of the Minutemen, Hooded Justice. Hooded Justice is actually the only masked vigilante with no definitive ending.

Yes, the circus strongman Rolf Muller disappeared from his job around the same time as Hooded Justice disappeared. Yes, his body was found 3 months later on the coast of Boston. But as the HBO series says during the in-sho show “American Hero Story”, Hooded Justice may have just faked all that.

6 The Squid - Confirmed

When Adrian Veidt AKA Ozymandius began to realize that the world as he knew it was coming to an end, he began to form a plan. A brilliant plan. A Glorious plan. He would build a giant telepathic monster squid and use it to bomb New York. Thus averting the upcoming nuclear holocaust. Happily ever after.

Well, things may not have worked out like that, but in HBO’s Watchmen, the citizens of the world seem to be dealing with the consequences of that event almost 30 years later.

5 World Peace - Unconfirmed

So Veidt managed to blind Dr. Manhattan for long to accomplish his plan, and once it was done all the other heroes (excluding Rorschach) decide to help cover it up. But did it work? Viewers have got a pretty good idea of how America is fairing in a post-squidgedom world, but they haven’t seen or heard much about the outside world.

Veidt may (or may not) have postponed a nuclear apocalypse, but he doesn’t appear to have solved war and united the world. Shocker.

4 Nite Owl & Silk Spectre’s Fate - Unconfirmed

Daniel Dreiberg (AKA Nite Owl) and Laurie Juspeczyk (AKA Silk Spectre) have both been through quite a bit by the time the story draws to a close. Having become accomplices to Veidt’s murder of millions, the pair take him up on his offer of hospitality. At the end of the graphic novel, they are seen with their new identities, Sam and Sandra Hollis (honored the late Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl).

The HBO series takes place nearly 30 years after the comic, which would make them pretty old, but it is possible they’re still around.

3 Doctor Manhattan’s Fate - Unconfirmed

Throughout the course of the comics, Doctor Manhattan becomes less and less interested in the petty interests in not just individual humans, but the human race as a whole. Big blue has pretty much had it with the entire planet, even going so far as leaving the planet and moving to Mars. However, after being called back to Earth during the conclusion of the comics, Dr. Manhattan decides that he doesn’t even want to stay in the same galaxy as Earth.

Hoping to find a galaxy less complicated than the Milky Way, Dr. Manhattan seemingly disappears from the galaxy. Now, viewers have already seen footage of Dr. Manhattan on Mars in HBO’s Watchmen, so did he decide to stick around? Is it fake news? Who really knows at this point?

2 Ozymandius’ Fate - Unconfirmed

By the time Ozymandius’ master plan all comes together, Adrian Veidt had spent the better part of his life dedicated to it. So when all is said and done, the only question he has left is, “I did the right thing, didn’t I? It all worked out in the end” to which Dr. Manhattan replies, “‘In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends,” after which he simply disappears.

Adrian is then left there to ruminate on the price of his plan, and to find out if it was all worth it. HBO’s adaptation makes it seem like things didn’t exactly go according to plan, but what impact has that had on the “smartest man on the planet?"

1 Hooded Justice’s Death (& History) - Unconfirmed

Watchmen's Hooded Justice

As mentioned earlier, Rolf Muller was the man who was assumed to be Hodded Justice. When he was found dead three months after his disappearance, people kinda just let it go. However, HBO’s Watchmen has spent a significant portion of time showing Hooded Justice (on TV, busses, benches, the radio) and even go so far as to illude that Hooded Justice may not have been Muller at all.

In the comics, though, Hooded Justice is known to have some pretty awful political views, even going so far as to say that Hitler had some decent points. Yikes. Hopefully, the series will answer all Hooded Justice questions before the finale.
