When discussing his famous character Rorschach, the antihero of Watchmen, Moore explains, I originally intended Rorschach to be a warning about the possible outcome of vigilante thinking. But an awful lot of comic readers felt his remorseless, frightening, psychotic toughness was his most appealing characteristic  not quite what I was going for. Moore misunderstands his own heros appeal within this quotation: it is not that Rorschach is willing to break little fingers to extract information, or that he is happy to use violence, that makes him laudable. The Comedian, another superhero within the alternative world of Watchmen, is a thug who has won no great fan base; his remorselessness (killing a pregnant Vietnamese woman), frightening (attempt at rape), psychotic toughness (one only has to look at the panels of him shooting out into a crowd to witness this) is repulsive, not winning. This is because The Comedian has no purpose: he is a nihilist, and as a nihilist, denies any potential meaning to his fellow man, and so to the comics reader. Everything to him is a joke, including his self, and consequently his own death could be seen as just another gag. Rorschach, on the other hand, does believe in something: he questions if his fight for justice is futile? then instantly corrects himself, stating there is good and evil, and evil must be punished. Even in the face of Armageddon I shall not compromise in this. Jacob Held, in his essay comparing Rorschachs motivation with Kantian ethics, put forward the postulation perhaps our dignity is found in acting as if the world were just, even when it is clearly not. Rorschach then causes pain in others not because he is a sadist, but because he feels the need to punish wrong and to uphold the good, and though he cannot make the world just, he can act according to his sense of justice - through the use of violence.
