Description
Earth-W was on the verge of Doomsday when its soul superhuman travelled back in time to undo his own origin and thus end the part he had played in a madman's plot.
In the mid 1940s, Dr. Jon Osterman was retrieving the watch of a coworker when the chamber it was in sealed behind him! Before the experiment in quantum energy could activate and atomize the young scientist, a glowing blue figure appeared in the chamber and wrapped around Jon like a cocoon, taking the brunt of the energy and channeling it up out of the base and into the atmosphere. The world would never be the same.

Gray Ghost: Simon Trent is a former Hollywood stunt man who discovered a smuggling ring working out of the studio where he was employed. Using bits and pieces of various costumes, he was able to create the character to confront the smugglers when they met with their buyers, using special effects and his own skill as an actor to convince them they were being pursued and picked off by some manner of phantom. When the papers reported on his activities, he was dubbed "Gray Ghost" and found the name to his liking. He decided to make a go of being a hero for real. When crime haunts the night, a silent crusader carries the torch of justice. Let those with evil hearts beware. Out of the darkness comes the Gray Ghost!

Nite Owl: Dan Dreiberg was the son of a prominent banker who left him a massive inheritance. Dan, however, had no interest in banking, preferring birdwatching and literature to the boardroom. Inspired by Hollis Mason, the costumed hero Nite Owl, Dan invested his fortune in creating an arsenal of crime-fighting hardware, including a variety of specialized costumes and an airship he named "Archimedes". Alongside his technology, Dan trained his body to the peak of human ability and, when he felt he was ready, debuted as the NEW Nite Owl. During his time with the Crimebusters, Dan and fellow member Silk Specter began a relationship and have recently married in a private ceremony attended only by family and their teammates.

Captain Metropolis: As a child, Nelson Gardner was sickly and asthmatic, but managed take control of his own life through years of intense training, eventually joining the Marines. During a mission during the war, Nelson and his squad-mates discovered a group of Nazi occultists attempting to use a combination of science and sorcery to open a portal to another reality and summon something that would wipe out the allies. Nelson's squad ambushed the cultists and wiped them out, but during the firefight, Nelson was struck by a beam of energy that seemed to come from their strange machines. It would be several months before Nelson realized the energies from the machine had changed him, granting him amazing strength, speed and the power to defy gravity and take to the sky. After returning home from his tour of duty, Nelson decided to use his powers to wipe out crime. He designed a costume and became Captain Metropolis.

Silk Specter: Laurie Jupiter is the daughter of the first Silk Specter, who retired from crime-fighting after discovering she was pregnant. As a child, Laurie loved to hear her mother's stories about her adventures with other heroes and decided one day SHE would be a hero, too. As a young woman, Laurie's debut came when she first donned her mask and costume to stop a group of drug smugglers. When the Crimebusters first formed, Laurie met another legacy hero in Nite Owl, the successor of one of her mom's old friends. Over time, the two began to date, eventually revealing their real names to each other, and have since married in a private ceremony attended by their families and teammates.

Rorschach: Walter Kovacs had a hard life. Orphaned when his mother was killed in a home invasion, the traumatized young boy was shuffled from foster home to foster home, like a toy nobody wanted. As a young man, Walter finally found a little stability when he was able to get a job in a garment factory. Walter became fascinated by a special material the factory was using, which was white, plastic-like cloth surrounding blobs of black pigment that shifted and moved according to fluctuations in heat from the wearer. Taking some of the material home, Walter used a pair of heated scissors to cut it and shape it into a full-head mask. Reminded of the ink blot tests he'd sat through so many times in his life, Walter completed his new persona by wearing a trench coat and a fedora hat, like the pulp novel detectives he loved, and took the name Rorschach. During the course of a kidnapping investigation, Rorschach met Nite Owl. The eager gadget-based hero helped Rorschach save the little girl from her kidnapper and the two quickly became friends. Nite Owl even designed and built Rorschach's signature grapple-gun. During Dan's wedding, Walter made a rare appearance without his mask to act as Dan's best man.

Dr. Manhattan: After his encounter with the strange entity, Jon Osterman stumbled out of the test chamber to the shock and delight of his coworkers, and handed Janey her watch. In the weeks that followed, Jon noticed he felt different; faster, stronger, more energized than he ever had been before. It was during a date with Janey that Jon's differences began to make themselves known. When a group of gunmen assaulted the restaurant and attempted to take Jon and Janey hostage, Jon rounded on the leader and PUNCHED him, sending him flying thirty feet and out the front window. As the other gunmen turned their weapons on him, Jon concentrated and caused their guns to collapse into all their individual components. His scientific curiosity piqued, Jon and Janey decided to test his new powers together. Aside from superhuman strength and telekinesis, Jon had manifested the ability to fire beams of energy from his hands, and eventually figured out how to use his telekinesis to levitate himself and fly through the air. Inspired by Janey's guilty habit of reading comic books, Jon designed and costume and reworked a gas mask to hide his face and took the name Dr. Manhattan. having had a lonely and sheltered childhood, Jon has found a group of friends at last, and watching Dan and Laurie's wedding has given him the courage to finally ask for Janey's hand in marriage.
