Crimebusters

• Comedian / Edward Blake — A former member of the Minutemen and the Crimebusters whose death was prevented by Doctor Manhattan. He then began his revenge crusade against Ozymandias for attempting to kill him, as well as continuing on the trail of Mime and Marionette. Comedian catches up to Joker, Mime, and Marionette when they attend an underground villain meeting held by Riddler to discuss the Superman Theory. He makes himself known by shooting Typhoon in the face. While pursuing them, he evades Giganta's attacks, shoots Riddler in the leg, and uses a grenade to defeat the other villains present. When Mime and Marionette are in bed together the next morning, Comedian catches up to them where he plans to use them to find Ozymandias. Before Comedian can do anything, Joker comes to Mime and Marionette's rescue and stuns Comedian with a joy buzzer. As Batman gets free and fights Joker, Mime and Marionette escape with Comedian and the Lantern Battery. After non-fatally shooting Oyzmandias, Comedian is returned to his spot in time.
• Doctor Manhattan / Jonathan Osterman — A former member of the Crimebusters who remains skeptical of humanity's hope. He is suspected for altering the DC Universe following the Flashpoint event, and for making "experiments" in the lives of Superman and everyone else. When he was summoned by Ozymandias through Bubastis, Manhattan reveals about Ozymandias's false cancer, and why he spared the Mime and Marionette's firstborn child. After Firestorm's incident, Manhattan was confronted by most of Earth's heroes, but he defeated them all. Before arriving on Earth to confront Superman, Manhattan spares the defeated heroes on Mars, but makes sure they don't interfere. After Superman stops Pozhar from attacking him, Manhattan meets with Superman, who convinces him to restore the timeline.
• Nite Owl / Daniel Dreiberg — Former member of the Crimebusters, who has a current relationship with Laurel Juspeczyk. They would conceive a daughter and adopt Mime and Marionette's son. Dan and Laurel are confirmed to have adopted Mime and Marionette's son who addressed himself as Clark.
• Ozymandias / Adrian Veidt — A former member of the Crimebusters who becomes a fugitive after the truth behind his alien monster's attack is exposed when Walter's journal was published. Having purportedly been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and knowing that his plan to save the world has failed, Veidt recruits Reggie Long as the new Rorschach and has him break Erika Manson and her husband Marcos Maez out of prison. When Rorschach returns with the two, Veidt reveals himself and his situation, explaining to the two criminals that they must follow Manhattan to another universe and convince him to save their world. Using the Owlship, Veidt and his group travel to the DC Universe just as nuclear war breaks out on their Earth. After conducting research on this new world he's found himself in, Veidt goes to Metropolis to ask Lex Luthor to join his quest. However, as he is pleading his case, Veidt is shocked to find himself being confronted by the Comedian, who has been transported to the DC Universe by Manhattan. Comedian turns out to be evenly matched with Veidt, forcing him to retreat through Luthor's office window. Veidt falls twenty stories and is hospitalized with minor injuries, but soon manages to escape. Upon returning to the Owlship, Veidt is confronted by Batman, who has read the contents of the original Rorschach's journal. As the two elude the police, Batman asserts that Veidt murdered millions as part of a delusional hero syndrome, and accuses him of concocting a conspiracy theory that has negatively affected the public's trust in the superheroes of the DC Universe. Veidt in turn criticizes Batman for focusing all his attention on chasing supervillains while ignoring the world's social problems. A struggle ensues, leading to Batman falling out of the Owlship and into a mob of anti-hero protestors below. Using his pet lynx, Bubastis, and Alan Scott's Green Lantern Power Battery, Veidt teleports Doctor Manhattan to the Joker's lair, where Batman is fighting Marionette and Mime. Manhattan refuses to return to their world since he's in the middle of experimenting with this one. Manhattan reveals, among other things, that Veidt lied to Rorschach about having cancer in order to get his help. Rorschach punches Veidt and flees, while Veidt returns to the Owlship, attacks Imra and Johnny, and declares he can save everyone. He breaks into the Oval Office at the White House and checks the file of Firestorm. He then watches the event involving Superman and Firestorm in Russia from an undisclosed location with what appears to be a military outfit lying behind him, with Imra and Johnny being held captive. After claiming that he arranged for Superman to convince Doctor Manhattan to save the world, Ozymandias is non-fatally shot by Comedian. When returned to his world, Ozymandias is last seen standing trial.
