Watchmen, Rorschach masked (left); and unmasked behind bars in prison (right)
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In 1986, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons released Watchmen, a DC Comics series designed to deconstruct the superhero genre using analogs for the Charlton Comics heroes. Set in an alternate history where vigilantes participated in the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon was elected to a third term, the series combines dystopia with murder mystery. Beginning with the death of Edward Blake, it follows Rorschach through his investigation.
"Heard woman scream, first bubbling note of city's evening chorus. Approached disturbance an attempted r*pe/mugging/both. Cleared throat. The man turned and there was something rewarding in his eyes. Sometimes the night is generous to me."

The line about his mask being his very skin is an insight into how Rorschach perceives his own identity. Much like how Bruce Wayne once gave the name "Batman" as his true identity under the Lasso of Truth, Kovacs also sees his vigilante persona as the true version of himself. This is later accentuated by his demand for the police to "give me back my face!" when they remove his mask.
5 "Soft on scum. Too young to know any better. Molly-coddled them. Let them live." Appears in: Watchmen #6 Close During his sessions with Malcolm Long, Rorschach explained his journey from a troubled young boy into the vigilante sitting before his psychiatrist. He recounted the early days of his crime-fighting career, lamenting how he was too "soft" as a young man, and that some of his friends from the Watchmen team had turned soft too.
Rorschach's reaction to his first kill, even if the man arguably 'deserved' it, speaks to a disturbed satisfaction within the antihero, one that compelled him to stand by and watch the flames for a full hour . This speaks to his fascination with violence, and the rewards it would come to bring him. In his mind, this was the moment Rorschach was truly born.
