The Absurd Powers of Doctor Manhattan 

Hope you all enjoyed the video, let me know if you all would like to see a video on what I think are "DCs most underrated characters".

“Ligma balls” My favorite Manhattan quote.

I love that you put the ligma balls version of rorsach dying

But now the darkest knight showed a lot more with Dr Manhattan' powers

Intrinsic field would refer to the 4 fundamental forces of physics: the weak + strong nuclear force, gravity, and i t h i n k the electromagnetism (though i may be wrong) John ostermann litterally had the forces that held his very subatomic particles together stripped from him, meaning he was disintigrated on a subatomic level. Not even atoms or subatomic particles left. *and he came back*

Guy Gardner: we defeated Darkseid, the Anti-Monitor, Doomsday, bro you don't stand a chance! Dr Manhattan: *ok*

8:20 That moment broke my heart and soul. Alan Moore created masterpiece.

you know this was interesting Despite how overpowered Dr. Manhattan is He can’t undo the story of Superman I think that honestly deserves a video of its own but that’s me anyway great video as always.

"So sad Steve Jobs died of Ligma" "Who's Steve Jobs?" " *L I G M A B A L L S* "

When they say it "removed his intrinsic field" i think what they're talking about is removing or disabling one of two forces that keep atoms together, the electromagnetic force or the strong force. Removing even one of these would be disastrous.

bro is that ligma balls feat omniversal

Even in the world with actual superpowered characters, Dr. Manhattan still stronger than everyone else

8:23 That’s not getting past me.

Anti-Monitor or Spectre now. U know just hype from Crisis from CW makes me wondering how powerful are in comics. In show Mobius is already at very least 2-A but curious now about Anti-monitor

I'm putting this comment here particularly so that a comment Noodles planned to put here won't end up being near the top, essentially adding on to what continues to bury it, so don't give Noodles' comment many likes.

Pretty sure Manhattan would kill Superman.

The 2018 Guinness World Records Book listed Dr. Manhattan as the most powerful superhero. Makes sense now.

when Dr. M said "scraps of creation" I assumed he meant the totality of creation as in the impetus of the DC multiverse. it could be said that if the multiverse was represented as an estate with the main mansion and various side houses/cottages the shadowlands would be the Storeroom/warehouse in the shadow of those forefront buildings housing what has to be hidden, the perceived unwanted and unneeded, I say this because of the interactions between wonder woman and the upside-down man. could have just been a faux pas though

3:54 I didn't read Before Watchmen, but this sounds like a *really* bad retcon. Dr. Manhattan was originally omniscient and omnipotent but also part of a pre-determined universe. This made Dr. Manhattan paradoxical and incomprehensible in an interesting way. The retcon, as I understand it from this video, tosses out the ambiguity and replaces it with mere technobabble about Dr. Manhattan "choosing to give up free will" to avoid "destabilizing the universe". This makes Dr. Manhattan just a guy with superpowers and some hand-waving about their limits.

Do you think Manhatten was always this strong or that he grew stronger after he starting roaming the multiverse? He did seem to get stronger during the fight with the Justice League by analyzing their powers.

Also, do Pralaya. Do the Presence as well, please.

Good video, I love the overpowered dead-pan blue man. Although, I do have to ask: Are there really people out there who take Dr. Manhattan's "scraps of creation" Statement seriously? I mean, the entire Doomsday Clock story-line is basically him learning about the multiverse, so he wouldn't know anything about the origins of magic in DC. Are there people who really think it's official just because John said so?

*Superman couldn't even be moved or distorted by Dr manhattan in Orion comics he also couldn't erase superman in doomsday clock ( It shows you how powerful superman actually is plus superman overpowered the ARC angel Zauriel*

Actually, I’m writing a graphic novel that deals with the concept of imagination vs science. If Doctor Manhattan is more powerful than Mxyzptlk and magic, and Doc. Manhattan is being of pure science, is that mean science is more powerful than imagination and magic? Any thoughts?

I guess I will be one of those comments saying 'I dont know anything or much about the topic, but I am enjoying it'.. 3rd or so video I came across, randomly too.

So, once a group of friends and I were playing this game called Superfight, (Basically, two people pick a character card from their hand and attach modifiers like "there's ten of them" or "is 50 feet tall", and each person makes their argument why their guy would win in a fight with the other one, doing their best to sway the rest of the players who ultimately decide the winner. overselling stuff/downplaying the other character is encouraged, you DO EVERYTHING you can to sway the masses.) With that context established, my friend had a card that said "pick any comic book character" and he chose Dr. Manhattan. I went with Mr. Rogers, AND I WON! (I convinced the table that Mr. Rogers would kindness him into submission, and also pointed out that Mr. Rogers was the victor of the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny.) I didn't really think Mr. Rogers would beat him, given the whole "lost humanity" thing, but that's how you play the game. My friend is still salty, and honestly rightfully so.

Dr Manhattan is Powerful but I just wanna say to him DARKSEID IS.

Would you do a video about the powers of Raven from The Teen Titans?

Finally, its finally here!!!! I've waited two weeks for this!!!!

Don't forget "temporal photocopier". He can make photo copies so accurate that they literally are the SAME PHOTO! Now thats OP. 😁 (original photo?)

Did Dr Manhattan say ligma balls? At 8:27

17:17 lol the demonetize symbol

I like your videos even before I watch them, because I know it's going to be that good lol

man, i gotta tell you, you are getting me back into comics after 30 years. this is some interesting stuff.

Wonderful video! I had previously been considering Manhatten barely universal, but this video has really changed my position on the matter. As for the video on "DC's most underrated characters" - I'd really like to see that, even if only to see if I even recognize anyone in it. In addition, a video that I'd really like to see would be a video on the various different reboots of DC - Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Flashpoint (N52), Rebirth, etc. You've been really good at explaining things that I previously had difficulty understanding, so it would really be useful for me, given how I've recently been reading some Tim Drake stories and have gotten confused as to how Titans Tomorrow Tim came back, how Impulse remembers things, and how Conner got back. Basically I just like Young Justice and a whole "Crisis" video seemed like the least direct way to ask for information on them. /ramble over Anyways, awesome video, and I hope to see more like it!

I love the Pruit Igoe and Prophecies playing in the background 👌

What about Quantum Superman?

Imagine if Doctor Manhattan shows up to the party during the whole conflict with perpetua?

8:20 you thought we wouldn’t notice

Can you power scale Archie Sonic next ?

Dr. Manhattan even predicts the collaboration of DC and Marvel in the near future, that's how powerful he is

I loved the superman reborn storyline it was fantastic

The more powerful the character, the weirder their stories. Some of the best comic book character are those how have the least amount of power with the hardest road to walk and highest mountains to climb. I always found Doctor Manhanttan very boring, he is more of an aspect of the Watchman story that a character itself.

U never talked about new 52 superman's power. where would U put him star level , solar system level or galaxy level ?

Batman who laughs: Hippity hoppiy your power is my property

Hey mann Seth, Chuck, and Swakage are all douchebags. Don't let them get to you. Keep making the great content you are making.

I've been waiting for this ❤

The real question now is: Can Dr.Manhattan beat Dark Phoenix?

1:50 "John. Was a. Fairly normal, quantum physicist, pushed into his line of work. By his father, until he was caught in one of the experiments at his lab, where h..." Jesus christ. Who are you, Captain Kirk?

This is one reason I stay away from comic books, it's basically religion at this point. How are the stories to be found in comic books any different than the mythos to be found in religions? And sure enough, there are zealots that take the comic books VERY seriously. One seems indistinguishable from the other to me. You can't make a character too powerful or else that happens.

So is the Justice society of america and the legion of superheroes are canon now?

he lost his humanity because he can see all time-lines at the same time if you know what is and will be how can you be enthusiastic about it? you'll end up finding it boring

In death metal we saw how insanely powerful he really is U need to update this video The dark knights series gave a whole another level of scalling for manhattan

Alan Moore almost never likes stroies not entrely created by him, and he calls such comics/movie/other medias non canonical instead as just as not part of his head canon and personal taste. He is a great writer, an experienced occultist and a man of great culture, but he should use a little bit more of humility on his judgment in my opinion.

Since when did parrot have an ASMR voice? Id legit pay for 3hrs of Parrot hypnosis...

DC ended him because they did not know what to do with him and they wanted a fresh start I wanted to see what would happen if golden Amazo from justice league unlimited vs Dr. Manhattan met each other. I couldn't be Manhattan I can rebuild my body how i want it to be manipulate my body from size weight and density my third leg would literally be a third leg and heavy too 😆😅🤣😂😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Little known facts ; had a small run as a popstar , in his band Eiffel65. Also a performance artist he created the perfect theater group which allowed him to live in the middle of the spotlights with no one noticing . (Blue man Group) And can you spot him doing a movie cameo ? (Smurfs 2) And some rumours even claim he did some blue movies ..... At his lowest he had to do some things he is not proud off Like wrestling (Blue meanie) His nick name used to be Viagra. Because of the colour blue and him being a dick . Last year Halloween he had it easy , doing a avatar costume. And the blue candy that was radio active , was never proven to come from him

My interpretation. While Superman; standing there is the present about to fight Black Adam and the other villain, ManHattan reported, he faded to black and went back in time and fixed everything “he” changed then boom!, the JSA and others erased come in “the present’ and help Superman face does. The reality was still there. No reality warp or erase of the present universe. Right there on page. That’s what I deciphered. Awareness of him was not erased for Superman on new allies to appear do them being altered from the past. Then he gave his life force to save his planet; a planet not universe. Then he gave his remaining power to a kid he named Clark. Page for page. People only want to imagine that when the page went black that he universally erased the present time like he’s god or something. People only imagine that he saved his “universe” when it wasn’t a universe drawn or written right there on the page but a “planet”. Either way, I love your vids man. Loved when you went off on tangent on the story f Superman. Trust me, I have been in these debates (well not debates for me but facts) and it’s ultimately what I have said in these events. It’s like the world we live in today. Things can exist together in an infinite universe. More space than matter. Everything can exist peacefully. You like Fruity pebbles fine, I like Captain berry crunch. You like Thor, ManHattan, Goku, Hulk, or Thanos, cool, I don’t. I’m older. I grew up on Superman so that’s my character. I still like those guys respectively in there on continuity and universe but my fave is Supes. I don’t watch DBZ for Superman. I watch it for Goku and the rest of the cast. It’s it’s on story! Why compare? Yet and still, men lie, women lie, numbers don’t, Superman a the oldest out the bunch therefore his feats or abundant when comparing. Always the point I try to make in these Superman defamation vids or forums. He the reason the term op exist. To me, there nothing wrong with the human imagination imagining defying the impossible. Shit, we are mites if dust compared to the sheer size of the universe. Probably smaller than that. WebCam ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your vids my guy. More!

Can you do street level characters like lady shiva Richard dragon bronze tiger, karate kid deathstroke Cassandra cain Jason Todd Grayson, daredevil, elektra ect

8:18 this is possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Couldn't see it until I saw it on TV and my wife started laughing her ass off.

Manhattan is still a child playing superhero in the backyard compared any one of the Endless (even Fate) and then there are people above them like The Presence. On a scale of power in the DC Universe, Manhattan isn't actually all that impressive. Lucifer created an entire universe and Death of the Endless closed the door on it when he was done playing. Superman though, there is a reason Dr. Manhattan couldn't get rid of him. Superman has no upper limit, he can be as powerful as he needs to be for the story as hes not a man but an ideal that can always be pushed further as it doesn't have to be attainable to still work. Not even the Endless can surpass their limits like Clark can. He isn't a God but hes not easily overcome, sort of like Goku in Dragonball. Beat him up and he'll always come back for more if the cause is just, even death can't stop him.

4:17 sounds like a profound description of his father's business but... not at all. Idk. The way it was said.

14:47 This is part of the reason why I'm not a fan of the Doctor Manhattan. He's an arrogant dick about how much power he has.

ok what i,m trying to figure out he gets destroyed in a man made machine an becomes one of dc most powerful superheroes lmfao these writers were on crack

Doctor Manhattan is a great character but he needs a better design on his physical look.

8:19 Oh.

Lore of The Absurd Powers of Doctor Manhattan momentum 100

Meme at 8:20

Just another tool in the drawer for reboot and plot convenience activities, they could've made a new plot device like Marvel's Hope Summers but naked blue man sells units.

I wouldn't say that tachyons "travel backwards in time". No idea why Manhattan would say that, either. Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel faster than the speed of light, and are unable to travel slower than it. Due to relativity and causality this would result in a form of time-travel, but not in the way he's phrasing it. Also, if he can reconstitute himself any way he pleases, why is he blue? Is that just his favourite colour?

So Dr. Manhattan didn't know why his knowledge of the future just goes away at a certain point, even though he should have been aware of everything, including his conversation with Superman, and him thereafter ceasing to see the future resulting from his own intentional actions? Unless tachyons are involved, that makes no sense whatsoever. He shouldn't have been confused about any of that, he would have just seen it as inevitable as anything else.

Yo do one about mad Jim Jasper's I know you want to do DC but in case you want to do something in marvel you should do mad jim Jasper's and sorry about before

I literally got hooked on the way you say power

Akatsuki ranking!!!

i am pretty sure Dr Manhattan would've killed superman in one fell swooped but that's just my opinion

I’m not sure that magic coming from the shadowlands or from leftover scraps are mutually exclusive.

Dude do a video about Superboy prime please

2:26 I think that field is what hold our atoms together

Doctor manhattan scales to Outerversal

This is some serious Overpowered Smurf.

Out of Doctor Manhattan, Trigon, Mordru and Mxyzptlk, who's the most powerful?

I actually really don't like Dr. Manhattan as a character, in the original Watchmen story, because I think he ruins an otherwise decent plot. Dr. Manhattan is nothing but a plot device.

Is that the music from the Watchmen movie?! Lol genius!!

Who wins Dr Manhattan or The Spectre?

Can u please do Spectre one day? Would really look forward to that.

If Dr Manhattan wanted to remove Superman from the universe, and he can travel and alter time, he should be able to go back prior to Kryptons destruction and change that. Simple.

The question is can he solo marvel?

Yooooo love you dude! Keep it upppppp!!! Dropping FIREEEEE 🔥

He doesn’t have me myx feats

Watchmen has no place in the greater DC universe. This is just butchering the story's memory. Watchmen can never catch a damn break.

Dr. Manhattan vs Darkseid. Now that would be a fight.

Lol that ligma balls tho 😂😂😂😂

Pizza

Do mad Jim jaspers vs mr mxy

Ahh it feels good to learn again

So... His AT field. Lol.

Dr. Manhattan ain't on mxy level

I wish they got DC/Vertigo Lucifer Morningstar and Superman meet up on the comics...

Until some writer brings him back through some quantum mechanics absurdity.

Who is stronger lucifer or mxy?
