But it's not that he chose not to react to it, it was that he couldn't. Dr.Manhattan might see what's going to happen, but he can't act on it. If he sees Hal shooting him with an energy blast he can't dodge it, he has to take it.

I still think no single character in the JL could take the majority from him. It's just that his "clairvoyance" won't work in his favour.

why not all he showed was the abilty to regernerate his somtype of field breaking down. While i know they can't kill him, i'm pretty sure he still has the ability to be knocked out the same why other characters who can't die can.

One day you'll realize that being too strong for a single member of the justice league to knock out is a far cry from being impossible to knock out.

what durabilty did he show that makes you think he can't be knocked out by any of the leuage members

I don't think you can knock him out.

That's the impression the Watchmen comic gave me, obviously.

He knew everything that was going on, even what was happening on Earth while he was on the moon.
He seemed indestructible.
He said he could create life.
He might have had some reality warping powers, as he allowed the woman he was once in love with breath on moon.
He didn't really seem to have any limits on his powers to be honest.

But then I've been up all night and it's been a while since I read the full comic, so I can't remember everything.

Ozymandias discovered something that could mess with Manhattan,but he overcame it after a few seconds IIRC.

Edit: He knew what was going to happen in the future as well.
Edit: He could teleport vast distances, fromEarth to the moon and vice versa. That's like a quater of a million miles (roughly) I think.


Really, those are all things the Silver Surfer could do. I don't really see Dr. Manhattan as any higher than High Herald. Just my two cents.

a.k.a. justice league vs dr. manhattan.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

The question is who counts as being in the Justice League? Current only? Dr. Fate as his most powerful? If Dr. Fate is in it (and I mean the most powerful version), then its Dr. Fate vs. Dr. Manhatten.

On the other hand, I don't want to fall into the 'no limits' argument. They say Dr. Manhatten can do anything so he's omnipotent. No, I still think he's limited to feats on the level of what he actually did for versus purposes.

Dr. Manhattan FTW.

It's not that he can't dodge it, it's that he didn't dodge it.

If we follow Manhattans power set to its logical conclusion, the JLA doesn't stand a chance. If we go by feats alone he could just BFR them all to Mars.

Basically, he can see the future, but since he knows what's already happening, he just has to let it happen. If he saw superman shooting him with is heat beams, and he didn't dodge, then when the time comes, he won't be able to dodge. And Manhattan himself has stated that he isn't omnipotent, he really is just like a Watchmen version of a Herald of Galactus, he even resembles a blue Silver Surfer.

Manhattan solos

from what i know of Dr. Manhattan..i think he can solo..

I have a question how many of the people here have actually read Watchmen? There is no team called "watchmen." There were two teams in the book, the Minutemen, which had those old vigilantes from the 1930s and 40s and the newer team called the Crimebusters, that had Dr. Manhattan and the others. And Dr. Manhattan was the only hero with any powers.

its funny that people think manhattan wins eaisly but most think that surfer would have trobule with superman
