In the actual work, the chief characters' respective D.C. bases were the following:

1. Doctor Manhattan / Captain Atom.

2. Nite Owl II / Blue Beetle.

3. Rorschach / The Question & Mr. A.

4. Ozymandias / Thunderbolt.

5. Silk Spectre II / Nightshade, the Phantom Lady, and the Black Canary.

6. The Comedian / The Peacemaker.

As such, I for one can't shake the nagging feeling that the main characters' Marvel influences would've been the following:

1. Doctor Manhattan / Silver Surfer.

2. Nite Owl II / Moon Knight.

3. Rorschach / The Answer.

4. Ozymandias / U.S. Agent.

5. Silk Spectre II / The Black Widow.

6. The Comedian / Punisher.

But who do you all suppose the characters of Watchmen would be inspired by if they were part of Marvel's multiverse and not D.C.'s?

Before Zack Snyder's film adaptation of Watchmen came out in 2009, Watchmen: Motion Comic was produced as a twelve-episode adaptation of each of the graphic novel's twelve issues, from mid-July of 2008 to late-February of 2009. This is its front cover on home media.

Each episode ran from twenty-five to thirty minutes, every character was voiced by Tom Stechschulte, and the music was composed by Lennie Moore. This is the soundtrack: https://youtu.be/pS0r9S6HrEw Enjoy!
