Origin of Ozymandias 

He killed the comedian And beat the hell out of Night owl 2 and Rorshach Also tried to outsmart Mr Manhattan

Ozymandias is the combination of Lex Luthor & Batman in my opinion.

The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite!

Damn this dude really gave away all his money to charity only to become a billionaire on his own 👏👏👏

I still chuckle at Rorschach trying to stab Ozy with a fork.

Damn he’s more like Batman with how he tried all over the world!

I knew Ozy was smart but I didn't realize he Batmaned so hard. I'm officially 27% more scared of him. Thanks, Variant Comics.

This has to be the most entertaining History Of episode I've seen in a while.

He didn't dodge a bullet he caught one.

Ozymandias vs. Batman Ozymandias meets Lex Luthor

The bullet trick people are going crazy for is actually from The Last Dragon. In that movie the highest skill is catching a bullet. Leroy does it with his teeth. Interesting enough that's before MMA where martial arts were still seen as mystical and that practitioners could do magical things.

If a man has the opportunity to do good he is obligated to take it -Ozymandias

I just don’t buy that he doesn’t have powers. The way he moved, the strength he exhibited and the level of his reflexes....it surpasses what Batman demonstrates.

I love how in his origin story he fights the comedian but it wasn’t to win .. it was to study him hints why it was so easy to take him out

One of my favourite comic book villains ever! Please do the other Watchmen!

For him to have no powers the way he threw the comedian out the window in the movie makes u think

You pronounced his name wrong the whole episode, it’s Ozeey-man-dee-us. Love the vids tho keep it up

It’s pronounced “Ozzy-Mandias,” not “Ozzy-Man-Dias.” The former is the ancient Greek word used to refer to the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II, and the latter is, I don’t know ... some random dude from Australia ... named Dias.

He's always been so interesting to me

Even the smartest man knows how flawed his life is...and I would lovd to see him face Batman then battle him like what the Shredder did in Batman/TMNT crossover.

Ozeey-man-Dee-uus

I wasn't payin' attention and thought Arris said "Drawn by Jay Z".

Damn I expected him to have powers because those reflexes when catching a bullet was insane

3:30 He did what !!?? Damn this guy is badass

Aye Arris, my toilet clogged and I'm too scared to call the cops, help me.

Then he battled Genderbent King Arthuria,SUTELLAA,and Sigurd's beloved in a Murder,death,kill

No human can move like that based on the graphic novel. He is fast that he can trick the human eye and strong many times the average man. In one one combat no man on his earth can beat him or ever lay a hand on him.

Best Watchmen persona

You guys should do a ‘History of’ episode on Captain Atom

2:09 oh that foreshadowing

Wait, so this guy was discriminated for being incredibly smart?! Wtf?!!

I wish I was as good as Adrian in reality 😭

Ozymandias is one of my favorite Watchmen!

Can you do an episode about the mandelorians? Btw: I love your videos

History of gargoyles, gambit, and nightcrawler

Hey Arris I remember on one of my comments I made about a history of Darkseid you said soon. How long is soon? We need some Darkseid on this channel Who’s with me? I know for a fact I’m not the only one

@Arries, your descriptions below are actually above you LOL… Thank you for the great videos and continue the good work!

Hey Arris, We NEED a history of Darkseid videos bro!

You’re the man Arris Quinones

Comic book writer: school principle sees loner kid with bruises for weeks on end, kid ends up hurting another kid in a fight, principle: expel this loner kid immediately!!!!

The new set is dope!

Do a history of Rorschach.

Nothing ends Adrian. Nothing ever ends.

Is this the watchmen with Manhattan in it?

Just today i finally got time to watch Batman Hush, it was so good,10/10 in my books.

Arris seems pretty smart and well read. Which is why it's killing me that he's pronouncing it Ozy-man-day-uhs.

Paul Dano is The Riddler. Please do a history of him.

Wow dope origin story

Another great video..as much a I love dc I want say we need video on histoy of M Kraan crystal.it showed up in house of x but no seems to be address ing that or fact magneto can effect vibraion now

Forget Rorschach, this guy can beat Dr. Manhattan

The poem with Ozymandias is quoted at the end of the first Ultron story in the Avengers from the Sixties.

I literally started learning about the poem ozymandius in English, does this count as revision?

How fitting now that the watchmen TV show begins (i hope it's gonna be on DVD sooner or later) Also bought the watchmen steelbox recently for 6,90€ and it looks new, no scratches or anything like that (have seen it between 5 or 10 times already but it's just to great not to have)

Good stuff as always.

5:13 well, I would beg to differ, cuz I'm pretty sure the 2dn Nite Owl had a bit of a gut

Love your videos you doing the rest of house of x and power of x

No, this might be tl;dr, but Ozymandias is most definitely a superhero: The World of Alan Moore's story begins by asking the question - “What would happen if the 1939 release of the first ‘Superman’ comic-book story had inspired some real life events and people to become masked crimefighters?” Alan then recapitulates comic-book history by inventing a “golden age” collection of superheroes and various custom(ed) vigilantes, as well as a later generation following in their footsteps. The narrative of Watchmen uses them to delve deep into the psychological, as well as the ethical and political ramifications of vigilantism. One way that Watchmen forces us to re-think the superhero as we know 'em to be, is by portraying crimefighters as at least to some lesser-or-great extent “psychologically damaged” and beyond repair, like how Rorschach or Ozymandias are; relating to both of their genetic & environmental factors that shaped 'em into who and what they are. Rorschach, for example, was traumatized by an abusive childhood, and is in many ways - emotionally and psychologically maladjusted. He is therefore absolutely ruthless in his willingness to use violence to fight crime, yet his commitment to justice seems both - real and uncompromising. Some of Alan Moore's characters are more psychologically stable then Rorschach is, but still damaged, like how Ozymandias is. What makes Ozymandias a superhero is that he is by-far thee most intelligent - and at the same time - the most physically fit human to date I. His prime, as well as being one of thee most immensely successful out of all of us humans by our normal worldly standards, I mean, he is clearly a megalomaniacal individual who takes none other then and no less, Alexander the Great, as his personal role-model . . .yeah! Ozymandias may be semi-clairvoyant too, or thee greatest utilitarian ever, as he is accurately able to predict that the world is moving towards nuclear holocaust, and then he both creates and successfully executes an elaborate plan to stop this likely annihilation of all life on earth from happening at the mere expense of 3,000,000-people. 😒 His plan succeeds (where everyone else's would fail [due to the massive expense of lives])... Now, is he insane? Is he evil? I mean, on one hand, he was able to accurately analyze a growing threat of nuclear war that would permanently devastate our entire planet, sparked and exacerbated by our intentional Donald Trump like world leaders of-the-day's shitty gamesmanship, and on the other hand, the drastic solution he comes up with to save the world and restore a long lasting peace is 💯% successful, so...

Please do a history of red hood and the outlaws!!!

Thank you.

I loved your podcast

Variant Comics can do a history of Poison Ivy!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

I freaking love your Nightwing shirt bro

I, Adrian Alexander Veidt, have a dream.

You make a thunder history of from black lighting

He’s clearly never read the poem

There is always that one annoying kid in your class who thinks he is Ozymandias.

After the Joker movie. This should be next. It should end with him joining the watchmen.

No it’s not good and anyone else hate how he miss pronounces ozymandias

Thank you

Ozymdias is Bruce Wayne not being obsessed with Batman alter ego . Ozymdias is both terrifying under Adrian Veidt and Ozymdias,he know who he is . He is Batman if only Bruce wayne is perfect.

Plz do history of poison ivy , the hellfire club or quake

Ozy Man Dias

When's the anti monitor video coming out?

Can you do A constantine remake please

Why does Ozymandias origin sound like Batman”s origin?

Ozymandias would wreck batman

This... would make a great movie

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings!

"THE HBO WATCHMEN SERIES IS SO GOOD!" Me looking back on this 2 years later: "LMAO"

Dude that artwork

He is the perfect combination of both Bruce Wayne and lex Luther

Hey can you share the link of buying that nightwing t shirt

What differs him from batman, they're literally in the same universe

DAJAKU DAJAKU

Is There episode of Variant about Roshak?

He's the true hero of The Watchmen

stopped watching when you started referencing the awful Before Watchmen nonsense

On the Green Lantern animated series one of the Guardian told Hal Jordan that The guardians had vast powers and that they stored their powers away and they stop using them. Please explain what they were, why they stop using them, all that Jazz.

The only man to make dr Manhattan leave earth out of satisfaction that it wont be destroyed....only to not have forseem that rorsachs journal would make it's way to the press and undo everything ozzy has ever done. I feel like rorsach got the last laugh.

I was trying to learn about the Egyptian king

I thought Ozymandias was Doctor Fate

So, he is GOLDEN BATMAN.

Damn that was a sick origin

He technically beat dr Manhattan by out smarting him

Ozymamdias sounds like Doc Savage a little.

Why do you pronounce it that way? Lol

Sounds like a blonde haired Bruce Wayne

Dc most underrated Villain

How old is laurie and ozymandias in the new watchmen series?

Pass on the show.
