Edward Morgan Blake (The Comedian) is a character in Watchmen. He is the one of the only masked adventurers (along with Captain Metropolis) to be a member of both the Minutemen and the Crimebusters, and had been active for forty-five years through the aide of government-sponsored activities and the press conjuring him to be a patriotic symbol of war and victory. He is a cigar-chomping, gun-toting vigilante-turned-paramilitary agent. He has shown himself to be a nihilist with little regard for morality or human life. In speculation, because he never states a motivation, he could only fight crime as an excuse to please his own desire to commit violent acts, and describes the world as a sadistic joke only he understands.
