Watchmen Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Rorschach — The entry states the dress scavenging occurred in 1962, but the canon does not specify the exact year; it is only implied to be before 1964.

Ozymandias — The entry states Veidt personally murdered the Comedian, but in canon he hired a hitman to do it.

Dr. Manhattan — The entry says the move to Gila Flats occurred in early 1959, but the accident was in November 1959; both events happened in late 1959.

Dr. Manhattan — The entry says Jon left Princeton before completing his doctorate, but in canon he earned his Ph.D. before working at Gila Flats.

Silk Spectre II — The entry states Laurie is 17 at the Crimebusters meeting in 1966, but in the comic she is 16.

The Seven — The entry states the Crimebusters were proposed during the height of the Cold War and never formed due to the Keene Act of 1977, but in canon the proposal was rejected by the members themselves at the 1966 meeting, not by the Keene Act.

The Seven — The entry lists 'Key Members' as Ozymandias, Nite Owl II, Silk Spectre II, Dr. Manhattan, and The Comedian, but the proposed members at the 1966 meeting were Captain Metropolis, The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl I, Ozymandias, and Silk Spectre I; the secon

Rorschach — The entry states that Rorschach 'operates alone, having no affiliation with any reformed team of costumed adventurers.' This is inaccurate because he was part of the Crimebusters initiative, even if he rejected it.

Rorschach — The entry says 'Kovacs independently investigated a string of murders linked to the original Minutemen before contacting Dan Dreiberg and Laurie Juspeczyk.' This is factually incorrect: Rorschach investigated the murder of the Comedian and subsequent related k

Silk Spectre II — Laurie Juspeczyk initially believed her father was Hooded Justice: In the original Watchmen comic, Laurie believed her father was a traveling salesman, not Hooded Justice; the Hooded Justice belief comes only from the 2019 HBO series.

Silk Spectre II — In Doomsday Clock, Laurie and Dan have a daughter together and also adopt a boy named Clark, who was raised by Doctor Manhattan: In Doomsday Clock, Laurie and Dan adopt a boy named Clark who is actually Superman, not a child raised by Doctor Manhattan.

The Comedian's Suicide Note — The entry states that the police investigation 'never officially ruled his death as suicide' and that the 'official ruling' was 'investigation ongoing; never concluded as suicide.' In the original graphic novel, the police and media explicitly treat Blake's de

The Comedian's Suicide Note — The entry claims the 'actual cause of death' is 'homicide by Adrian Veidt (Ozymandias).' While Veidt is responsible for Blake's death, the canonical cause of death in the story is a fall from a great height, and the manner is murder. The entry's phrasing is mi
