Rorschach

Returning to Watchmen, Rorschach is even more violent than the Comedian. Unlike the other hero, Rorschach is a fanatic who will stop at nothing when it comes to bringing evil-doers to justice.

Portrayed by Jackie Earle Haley, the character has plenty of violent moments – sawing off an inmate’s hands, throwing hot oil on an adversary, bashing a child-killer’s head with a cleaver, and so on. Also unlike the Comedian, he has a goal. But that makes him even more dangerous.

Besides being well versed in gymnastics, boxing, and street combat, Rorschach also excels in literature, mathematics, political science, and religious education. So, besides having skills, he has brains. A pariah even among his fellow heroes, Walter Kovacs deserves his spot on this list.
