Watchmen Naked Blue Guy: Why Doctor Manhattan Is the Most Iconic Character of the Series

A series of strange events and ghostly appearances occur over the next few months, leading researchers to speculate that the area is haunted. After a series of partial bodily appearances, it becomes apparent that Jon is progressively re-forming himself. Each time, the appearance lasts for only a few seconds: first a disembodied nervous system including the brain and eyes; then a circulatory system; and then a partially muscled skeleton. Jon eventually reappears as a tall, muscular, hairless, naked, blue-skinned man, glowing with a "flare of ultraviolet."

Doctor Manhattan's body is humanoid, and his build is tall and muscular. His height and relative size vary depending on his needs but generally remain above 1.83 m (6.0 ft) tall. He is completely blue (altering his shade and luminosity at will) and has no hair. On his forehead, he has etched a stylized image of a hydrogen atom. He did this during preparations by the military for his unveiling to the general public. They presented him with a hat as a part of his uniform that had a group of crossed ellipses on it, intended to look like an atom but Jon did not see the resemblance. He replaced it with a symbol of his own, saying that if he were to have a symbol it should at least be one that he respects.

This post was written by guest blogger Marc Lallanilla, who writes his own fab blog over HERE: A hot naked blue guy -- that's reason enough to see a movie, right? Watchmen, the somewhat-anticipated new release based on the graphic novel, opens nationwide today.The film is directed by the same guy who perfected the art of airbrushed abs in 300, destined to become a closeted-homoerotica classic. I think the New York Times sums it up best: "Watchmen is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It has extreme violence, a naked blue man and some superhero sex." All that and a bag of popcorn. No butter, please -- we're watching our abs.

TVLINE I spoke with [director] Nicole Kassel about the episode, and she hinted that the blue Phillips might be a body double. Still, I feel like I know you just well enough that I had to avert my eyes. [Laughs] Yes. I had to tell all of my neighbors. I live near old people, and just in case they happen to watch, I just had to let everyone know that they can look me in the eye.

In the end, the film comes across as too much like the big blue guy at its core. It is too cool, too dispassionate and too shiny. Instead of deconstructing the violence of superhero fantasies, it glorifies it. Instead of framing its final dilemma in a necessary human term, it poses it as an academic discussion. And it spends more time on slow motion than it does on ideas.

The watchmaker's son is, of course, Jon Osterman, the human being who was transformed in a freak accident that left him naked, blue-skinned, and imbued with superpowers. The play is a retelling of Doctor Manhattan's origin and it's mostly true to the comic.

Doctor Manhattan also didn't emerge right away. Osterman's physical form was torn apart in the test chamber for his "intrinsic field generator." His body reformed itself into the blue-skinned being it would become during the months that followed.
