Before leaving Metropolis, Harley went to the F-force headquarters to check out all the secret files related to the Watchers.
"We people are dead and retired. It's long past time to retire. Why do you still pay attention to us?" Laurie sighed and moved a metal box the size of a suitcase to her.
After opening it, there were dozens of video tapes, more than a hundred documents, several photos and newspapers.
"Let's get to know each other so that we don't encounter Captain Metropolis who fakes his own death again in a few days."
Harley picked up the videotape labeled Captain Metropolis and inserted it into the video recorder.
"He is really dead. The hooded judge is very cautious and has never revealed his identity to the outside world. Nelson (Captain Metropolis) is a soldier and has been recorded in government files from the beginning."
"Uh, eon, hey, I'm a little white guy!"
"Oh my god!" Harley shouted with eyes wide open.
After a few seconds of snowflakes on the screen, a very impactful picture suddenly popped up on the TV.
Really full of impact.
The tall black hooded man inside has a strong body like Shaquille O'Neal, with muscles bulging out into hard lumps as big as hamburgers, and a big lump in his crotch sticking out from behind the young blond white man.
"Farke, Farke, Farke"
The handsome white guy with blond hair and blue eyes was shouting, and the hooded judge behind him was also roaring.
That's right, it's the Hooded Judge!
There was a black cloth bag around his neck with only the eye sockets exposed, and a wrist-thick hemp rope noose hung around his neck.
Harry didn't recognize the young man Bai Zhanji, but he recognized him at a glance.
Because he's wearing Captain Met's uniform.
What especially makes Harley want to complain is that the overall uniform of Captain Metropolis is red, while the uniform of Captain America from Marvel next door is mainly blue. Other than that, the two uniforms are very similar in style.
"Shit, what are they two doing?" Harley shouted.
"Hit it, can't you see it?" Laurie said with a wooden face.
"I know they are doing it but why are they wearing uniforms and making short videos?"
The camera was almost pointed at the face, and there were no pinhole cameras in those days.
Obviously, they took the video themselves.
"This is nothing in modern times, right? Uniforms and videos are all meant to add interest," Laurie said.
Harley's expression was distorted, "This is not just for fun, look at their lines, the hooded judge is engaging in affirmative action on Captain Metropolis!
blacks suppress whites
Shit, it’s a shame they figured it out and Captain Met was willing to cooperate.”
She thought of a video she saw during the Floyd affirmative action in 2020. A black man stretched out his shoes, and white women knelt in front of him one after another, and the last one licked his
Captain Metropolis also seems to be an extreme leftist.
Or was he just conquered by the hooded judge who looked like a big black bull?
"No matter how they are privately, they are all heroes of that era. And as the Hooded Judge said, no matter whether the militia or the watch, every member is a human being.
You are so insidious and cunning that you even stole Joan's strength, and you turned ruthless and forced Werther to hand over the Kung Fu secret book. Don't we also recognize you as a qualified Watcher?" Laurie said.
"Well, I'm not sure now whether the Watchers are heroes anymore." Harley sighed.
Fast forwarding to the end of the short movie between the two fierce men, she changed another box.
Well, fast forward is not to see the ending, but to listen to the conversation between the two.
Communication in private situations can reveal more secrets.
For example, the Hooded Judge was originally a straight man. After meeting Captain Metropolis, he could no longer stand up to his wife, and the couple planned to divorce.
For example, the Hooded Judge was dissatisfied with the militia's indifference to black victims.
for example
Well, my eyes were blinded and I only heard some trivial things.
Harry rubbed his face and said in embarrassment: "Fortunately, the cameras in the 1930s and 1940s had low pixels and distorted the sound. They were replaced by high-definition cameras."
"I hate that it's not high-definition." Laurie licked his lips, looking unsatisfied.
Harley was stunned.
The second box still clicked.
In those days, cameras and film were very precious, and it seemed that apart from sex, there was nothing worth recording.
However, this time the male protagonist has been changed. The person lying behind Captain Metropolis is no longer the hooded judge, but another middle-aged white man.
"Who is he? It doesn't look like a hundred dollar bill. Could it be the Mothman?" Harley asked doubtfully.
Dachao is also a handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes, but the man on TV has black hair.
"It's Hoover, the most famous director in the world."
"Shit, isn't he the most anti-gay? And why did Captain Metropolis get together with him?" Harley said in disbelief.
"See for yourself, the answer is in the document." Laurie pointed to the box.
Harley simply turned off the video recorder and started looking at the text and photos.
Seeing her grinning, her whole outlook was shattered.
Video tapes are just child's play.
The content recorded in the document is even more exciting.
Captain Mets and Hoover were fooling around, it wasn't because he was really having an affair, well, it was partly an affair.
But the main reason is political.
Captain Metropolitan hopes to improve the social and political environment of the militia by becoming friendly with Hoover.
To put it simply, Captain Metropolis used his butt to keep government agents and police agencies out of trouble for his teammates.
Look what Laurie did to Mr. Shadow back then.
As long as the F force is serious, no one in the "militia" who are all mortals can escape.
This is completely different from the Justice League and the Avengers.
Zhenglian and Fulian have a large group of superpowers who are not afraid of the power of the country at all.
But the strongest among the militia may not be as good as Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Most of them are ordinary people relying on their blood and courage.
Can't wave.
In the end, Captain Metropolis died at the hands of Hoover because of this tape.
Well, the tape was secretly filmed by the captain of the Mets and used to blackmail Hoover.
On the surface, Captain Metropolis died in a car accident, but in fact the car accident was arranged by Director F.
Captain Metropolis’ bad thing is actually child’s play.
Compared with the comedian's files, they pale into insignificance.
The Comedian's file is a palm thick, more than 99% of it, recording the dirty work he did for the US government.
Any American who sees that file must, like the Hooded Judge and Rorschach, firmly recognize the Comedian’s identity as a patriot.
The comedian killed many people, but he was not a cold-blooded butcher.
Unlike the Pharaoh who had no feeling at all when he killed someone, the comedian often fell into mental torture that violated morality, conscience and humanity because of the killings he committed during his mission.
In fact, he suffered from mental illness as a result and often needed to see a psychiatrist and take medication every day.
Harley only briefly skimmed over the story of the Comedian who single-handedly dealt with political leaders in South America who opposed the United States, and didn't feel much about it.
She was only attracted by three other major events that he had participated in: First, he had a very close relationship with the Kennedy family, and Daken was as close to him as good buddies. At the request of Daken's wife, the president's wife, the comedian did
The lost lover, Monroe.
Well, it’s the world-famous sexy actress, Marilyn Monroe.
It was the comedian who sneaked into Monroe's bedroom, injected her with an overdose of sleeping pills, and took away the diary that recorded the secrets of the Kennedy brothers.
The second incident is related to the death of Daken.
The Comedian is a staunch supporter of President Daken, who is also the biggest backer of Watchmen.
The Great Kennedy was almost a Watchman without a uniform and without officially joining the Watchmen.
In the 1940s and 1950s, the captain of the Mets still had to rely on his butt to protect his teammates. During the Kennedy era and the 1960s, the watchmen received 100% official support.
Not only did no spies or police officers cause trouble for the Watchmen, Kennedy also took the initiative to legislate for the Watchmen, giving them the law enforcement power to conceal their identities.
The Keene Act, which requires cross-dressing heroes to register their identities with relevant departments, came from Nixon.
Kennedy and Nixon had completely opposite views. He advocated that cross-dressing heroes should cover their faces and conceal their identities to protect themselves. At the same time, the government should also trust those heroes and hand over law enforcement and trial rights to cross-dressing heroes.
Let Dr. Manhattan join the militia and reorganize the militia into the "Watchmen", with the shadow of President Daken behind him.
Daken was assassinated, Hoover did it.
Hoover first used a mission to assassinate a foreign anti-American leader to transfer the comedian, and then arranged for someone to get rid of Daken.
In less than ten years, the comedian avenged his good friend Daken.
The reason why the Comedian had to wait several years, or in 1972, before assassinating Hoover was also related to the political environment at that time.
In fact, it is also the third major incident about the Comedian. The Comedian helped Nixon kill his rival Ken Jr.
Aren’t Xiaoken and Xiaojiang good buddies?
Yes, they are good brothers too.
The comedian was even Ken's campaign guarantor, using his identity as a cross-dressing hero to draw votes for Ken's platform.
In public opinion polls, Ken Jr.'s performance is far better than that of Nixon.
But during the party's primary election, Ken Jr. did two things that made the comedian very unhappy: First, Ken Jr. publicly criticized the United States' Vietnam policy.
The comedian was in Vietnam at the time.
He was the only Watchman who actively responded to the country's call and went to participate in the Vietnam War (Manhattan was sent there, not on his own initiative).
When news of the difficulties encountered by the US military in Vietnam reached home, the comedian made up his mind: the United States must not lose!
In order to help his motherland win the war, he participated in the most dangerous raid missions, survived countless times, and had his hands stained with blood countless times. Harley saw more than one photo of a comedian massacring a village with a flamethrower.
Ken Jr. told the comedian that when he is elected, he will withdraw troops from Vietnam and publicly admit to the international community the failures and crimes of the United States.
He asked the comedian to be a 'tainted witness'.
Xiaojiang participated in many massacres and purges against the Yue Gong base areas. In short, it was exactly the same as what the Japanese did when they entered the village.
There is no doubt that Xiao Ken is asking the comedian to sacrifice himself to fulfill him.
If the comedian publicizes the bad things he did in Vietnam, he will definitely be finished.
Not to mention a cross-dressing hero, a comedian can't even be a human being.
Xiao Ken said: Don't worry, when I become president, I will give you a pardon.
The comedian agreed with a smile and made a solemn promise to his good friend: I swear I will protect you and not let any enemy bullets touch you.
Turning around, he killed Xiao Ken with his own hands.
What does the comedian Ben Xiaoken have to do with Hoover and Nixon?
The Comedian first secretly joined the old man who had exactly the same political views as his own. In order to win the war, the Comedian even sent Dr. Manhattan to Vietnam. Then Hoover planned for the old man and arranged for the assassin to enter Ken's speech party. In the chaos, the Comedian
He destroyed Xiao Ken who was protected by him, creating the illusion that Xiao Ken was killed by an assassin.
Big Ken died in an assassination. Of course Little Ken took strict precautions. Ordinary means could not kill him.
The comedian is very capable of doing dirty work.
Nixon was originally wary of him, but the American president had too much dirty work to do, and in the next few years he had to rely on comedians like Daken.
After becoming Lao Ni's favorite and important minister, Xiaojiang can kill Lao Hu without any trouble.
Lao Ni tacitly allowed the comedian to kill Lao Hu, and Lao Hu's younger brother also planned to take revenge on the Watergate incident.
As a result, the comedian stepped in and directly turned the big event that should have shocked the world into a trivial matter. A certain celebrity committed suicide in a familiar way, just like Monroe and countless anti-American foreign leaders.
"Dark, too dark, and too realistic! It doesn't have the fairy tale color that a superhero should have at all."
"Reality is not a fairy tale." Laurie sighed.
Harley threw away the folder and said in a complicated tone: "But your dad is really awesome. The president and his courtiers are like waves on the seaside, ups and downs, coming and going, but he is the only one who always stands proudly on the beach."
The Comedian died unexpectedly, but he did not die in a political struggle, but was killed by his teammate Pharaoh in a luxury apartment after retirement.
He died by fate.
In his early years, the Comedian tricked a generation of Night Owls into killing his teammate "The Hooded Judge", but he also died at the hands of his teammates in the end.
Killing teammates seems to have become a tradition among the Watchmen.
No, the new captain Harley has killed Dr. Manhattan, who killed Rorschach, and also killed Pharaoh, the comedian.
