True, the idea behind him was to actually follow that belief to it's logical extent and show that it was ridiculous and well...fucked up. He was the only one who wouldn't defend something if it was really for the greater good simply because in his rigid view it was evil. He'd rather let a nuclear holocaust happen than give in to something "evil".
To call him a hero is quite simply absurd though.
I already put in a crazy motherfucker as it is...I guess I should have switched Deadpool and Rorschach, I wanted someone less...heroic...but right now everybody knows who Rorschach is.

Rape was alright if his friend did it. Murder was OK if he did it.

Deadpool is far cooler.
"Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill."
Duane: You know what they say about love and war.
Tim: Yes, one involves a lot of physical and psychological pain, and the other one's war.

I found Rohrsharch to be the only consistent character in the book. At least he was the only character whose actions were consistent with his beliefs.

Not as hot as POWER GIRL who has just started her own series, and immediately been presented with one of the most original threats I've seen in a comic in ages.
As you know, l'm quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn. But the mythology... The mythology is not only great, it's unique.
Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race. Sorta like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plimpton.
In other news, Like a Virgin is a song about being fucked by a man with a big dick.

The Martian Manhunter is similar. He's a green Martian, who appears human when he doesn't want to be recognised. He's dead at the moment as are many DC characters - most will be back shortly- I hear the Pearly Gates are having a revolving door installed.
Yeah, anyone that is remotely a fan of Kill Bill remembers that monologue from what five minutes of screen time David Carradine got in all of the two movies named after his character. The problem with pretty much all of Quentin Tarantino's dialogue is that it all sounds like it coming from the same character.... the same pompous, "I have a righteous opinion about everything", arrogant, pre-written speech giving, jerk-off character.
quick question... how does a superhero like superman or storm fly? they seem to do it effortlessly... do you think its effortless or do you think it takes energy out of them?
