Doctor Manhattan (Dr. Jonathan Osterman) is a fictional character featured in the DC Comics series Watchmen.
Due to an accident involving a nuclear physics experiment, Dr. Osterman was taken outside the physical realm and returned with god-like powers, including superhuman strength, telekinesis, the ability to teleport himself or others over planetary, interplanetary and Intergalactic distances, control over matter at a subatomic level, and near total clairvoyance.
While his military backers market him as a superhero, he grows increasingly uninterested in human affairs, despite his importance in the Cold War, and is unable to connect with others, especially his love interest Laurie, the second Silk Spectre.
Dr. Manhattan was created by Watchmen writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons but, like many main characters of the series, he is a modified version of a Charlton Comics character, in this case Captain Atom, created by Steve Ditko.
Doctor Manhattan was born Jonathan Osterman...
