Rorschach revision

Status
Not open for further replies.
Beacuse i dont feel that right with that choice of giving him 10-A,yes,he is a human,but i dont feel right about that beacuse i get the feeling that he can beat some Tier 9 characters.
 
He doesn't really have any good feats. He can beat down some thugs and break your hand but I don't think he is really Street level.
 
...Ok,i should re-read Watchmen again.

But since DC Rebirth will have the Watchmen universe... i dont know,maybe Rors would be more stronger than before? we should put Rorschach rebirth in his own page,or alongside his real form?

I know that he has not appeared on Rebirth,YET, but i think... that,that he would be more powerful than in his Watchmen version.
 
If he appears in Rebirth and gets stronger, the feats should just be added to his page, However, considering Rorschach was dead at the end of Watchmen, he might not appear in Rebirth. For now his page should be left as it is.
 
Didn't Rorschach beat up several convicts when he was thrown in jail?

Please do correct me if I'm mistaken. I can't recall.
 
Rorscharch beat a lot of people and was fairly effective as a Vigilante. I doubt that a crimefighting vigilante with no powers would be anything but 9-C. Being just 10-A would mean he would be outclassed by simply a couple or so competent criminal mooks.
 
Sorry for responding to a months old post. Though shouldn't Rorschach be 9-C with his grappling gun? In issue #5 of the Watchmen comics, Rorschach fires his grappling gun at one of the men trying to arrest him and it seemingly digs into the man's body, leaving him paralyzed and screaming on the floor.
 
Possibly, but I am not certain.
 
The grapple gun reportedly broke his sternum, yes, but that doesn't sound out of place for 10-A. "Wall level" seems more like it would have gone right through him.

As for him beating up criminals in prison, no, that never happens. He takes down one guy by throwing boiling fat on him, outmuscles another guy through the bars of a prison cell and breaks his fingers, tricks a third guy into electrocuting himself, and drowns a much smaller guy in the toilet. He's fine at 10-A; the story makes it pretty clear that his strength is in improvisation and surprise, not bare-knuckle fistfights. He was overwhelmed by just four cops, even with prep, and clearly avoided trying to fight the Big Figure's two goons. Hell, I can't think of a single time in the story where he beats someone up with pure fisticuffs. The only time in the story he goes against an actual martial artist, he gets his rear handed to him on a platter.

However, as a revision under his equipment, "firearms"? Rorschach never uses a gun in Watchmen.
 
I think that Jack Zigler makes sense.
 
And yeah he never uses firearms in the Watchmen comics. However he does use a shotgun along with several other kinds of weapons in the Before Watchmen: Rorshach comics. Though they're definitely not standard equipment and I don't think those comics are canon anyway.
 
Well, since it seems very unwarranted to rate him higher than 10-A, I think that it is best if I close this thread.
