"once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense." The Comedian was a member of the Crimebusters and of the Minutemen. He has a highly cynical and nihilistic outlook on life and believes that most individuals are powerless to affect geo-political realities. The Comedian is often motivated by his own desires and is inclined to be autonomous, only aligning himself with others if their motives are similar to his own. A possible sadist, the Comedian often engages in violent activities and became a government agent during the Vietnam War.

Initially, his "morally correct" actions when fighting crime are contrasted against his abrupt and cruel personality, which portray him as a person lacking empathy for others. However, some of his actions suggest that the Comedian is not merely a selfish egotist.

Blake is not exactly a utilitarian or a nihilist, but one who could see the strings and viewed the world as a stage or a joke. Rorschach writes: "But there is no shelter. And the future is bearing down like an express train. Blake understood. Treated it like a joke, but he understood. He saw the cracks in society. Saw the little men in masks trying to hold it together. He saw the true face of the twentieth century and chose to become a reflection, a parody of it. No one else saw the joke, so he was lonely."

Edward Blake is from Watchmen, and is far from belonging to me. He appears here solely for the purposes of roleplaying, from which I am reaping no benefits, save a modicum of happiness. Profile to be expanded later.
