Who is rorschach father

While his upbringing was certainly enough to send anyone into a dark place filled with lasting damage, Walter Kovacs somehow managed to stay above it all. For a while, at least. Where he remains until for five years, being released in During his time in the Charlton home Walter would really blossom into the young man he was meant to become.

Walter Kovacs did an incredible job in school, performing very well when it came to literature and religious education. He was also shown to very intelligent and mentally stable. While he participated in dialogues in class and with his peers, Walter was noted to be rather shy, especially when it came to women. After leaving the Charlton home for troubled children, Walter found work at a garment factory, which is where he would spend much of his time over the next few years.

One day, however, after creating a special order dress with latex and two liquids that had been designed by Doctor Manhattan himself-- a dress that the woman decided was better left alone— Walter found something in that material that he had not seen possibly ever in his life, a face he could stand looking at in the mirror.

While Walter had taken the fabric home and had found a way to shape the material into a mask, a face that would truly display his emotions, he had yet to find any real purpose for it.

At this point in time, his face was merely something the remained at home, left in a trunk. It's also unlikely this cop would even have had the time to come running out of the building to join his buddies in the fun after Rorschach had jumped; no sooner does he hit the ground than they're whaling on Rorschach's ass and the mask comes straight off.

Rorschach himself is 45 years old. Even if his natural father had been a spotty minor at the time he impregnated the delightful Sylvia, that would still make him unbelievably old to be a serving SWAT officer on the Force the day Rorschach was taken down and yes, Blake was still an active 61 year old but he's exceptional: does a geriatric run o' the mill tac-cop sound likely Notwithstanding the above, it's spelt out that in this situation Charlie is clearly Officer Greaves, the guy with that hook sticking out of his sternum.

It's the moustachioed cop who was originally partnering him through the door and who gets the face full of black pepper that calls out to Charlie after all; makes sense that in his panic, he'd automatically cry out to the partner he was talking to immediately before being blinded to find out what the hell was going on. Of course, being unable to see, he's not to know that his partner was himself disabled in spectacular fashion only mere seconds later, which is why he goes on to inquire of his friend " Charlie?

Is Charlie hurt? I can't see. What's going on? Page 1 of 3. Previous topic Next topic. I think that's generally agreed upon.

I don't think Furniss is Walter's father. Serial rapists don't generally have careers if you can call it that spanning some four decades. They're mostly younger men, eventually get caught and don't often fare well in the general prison population.

Quote: She says she doesn't know his second name although how can you live with somebody if you don't know who they are? Chiffon Phantom. Chiffon Phantom wrote: And dan, I get what you're saying, but it actually isn't difficult to get away with rape although four decades is a stretch Many rape victims can't bring themselves to report the crime for a myriad of reasons. No argument with you on the psychological repercussion of rape on the victims.

I understand that there's a fair bit of self-loathing gone through by those victimized in this way. A bit of a tangent from the origin purpose of this thread Odd things attract them. A case in California Okay, I'll grant you that. As far as a serial rapist not having a career spanning decades I don't know. I just know I have a gut feeling that Moore would not make so much of the fact that Kovac's father was named "Charlie" unless there was some point to it.

Why use that name twice? Quote: Is that what happens to us? No one -- police, civilians, bad guys, the other heroes -- no one likes Rorschach. I don't think it ever occurs to him until just before the handshake that Dan does care about him. No one likes the Comedian, either. The only people at his funeral seem to be there out of obligation and duty, not because they ever really felt friendship with him.

Sally doesn't even go. And that's the Comedian's own fault. I think Rorschach feels compelled to continue fighting the good fight no matter what it costs him, but he's beginning to wonder about that cost. Later, as jbkovacs86 mentioned, you can see him soften up when he looks at Mrs.

Shairp's kids. I think every time he sees a child, he sees himself and all the pain of his childhood, and can't bear to see that repeated.

He tells Dr. Long earlier, "Thought of little child, abused, frightened. Didn't like it. Personal reasons. Well, I didn't mean for this to get so long -- what I'm saying is, I think he was starting to come back around to his own humanity. And I think it's a tragic part of what broke him at Karnak -- he'd become more open to compassion again, and the people killed in New York were his people, moreso than any one else there. Dan also seems nice but insulated, Laurie "doesn't know anyone but superheroes", Jon Adrian says he cares, but I don't believe he really does.

I think he spent years armored up and crazy, finally having an epiphany that sets him on the way home, only to have his heart and mind broken again. If he'd somehow survived Karnak I think he might have found his way again. I think he would have made an effort to have some friends Eventually, I think, he might have had a shot at having a family. He'd have to re-adopt some more conventional hygiene habits first, though Maybe he would have a reaction -- delayed -- like Laurie's, in just wanting to feel how sweet it is just to be alive.

I don't think he ever found out that Laurie was the Comedian's daughter. I would have loved to have seen his reaction to that one. Yeah, I know, hell of a long ramble, and I still don't answer the real question.

Okay -- yes, I think he'd be a good dad. Because I think it'd take him forever and serious amounts of introspection and healing before he ever got to that spot. And because he'd have Dan to bounce fatherhood thoughts off of. What's wrong?

Well a lot of girls on this board would probably have his babies if they could.

Oh man that picture made me lol so hard. I have a feeling that if he did have a kid, he certainly wouldn't let the kid know about his Rorschach identity. I guess he might eventually, I don't really know.

It's just hard to imagine how he would really look after the kid, especially since he didn't see his dad as a bad person for leaving him to do what he thinks was fighting justice.

I don't think he really knows why his dad left though. We do spend a lot of time in his shoes, stinky and small though they might be.

As long as we can empathize with him somehow, Moore would probably be happy. Want to know what it is? Look no further than Rorschach and his journal. Manhattan to end his sad, troubled life.
