Not long after the opening, dozens of freeze-frame pictures were used in the sound of music to quickly explain the origin and decline of the superheroes in the "Watchmen" story.

The predecessor of the watchman is called the militia, and the only member in common with the watchman is the laughter. The story of the militia is included in the comic "The Warden: The Minutes", here is a simple record.

Ye Xiao (1st generation):

The original Ye Xiao was a policeman. He participated in a trial organized by Sigui, Metropolis Captain, and Hooded Judge, and was later selected to join the militia. He also joined the mothman at the same time. The two had a very good personal relationship and often got together to chat. When the moth-man was addicted to alcohol and drugs in his later years, Ye Xiao often took care of him. In order to express his gratitude, Mothman gave him an auto repair shop, which is the home of Ye Xiao after retirement.

Ye Xiao needs to balance normal police duties and voluntary patrols as a member of the militia, but in general he loves the work of volunteers very much and has a strong sense of justice. She once helped Profile (black silhouette) in the investigation of missing children. Because she was worried about Profile, she proactively confessed her identity as a police officer and left Profile with her own phone number so that she would contact him immediately when she was in danger. Shortly after Profile was seriously injured, she immediately called Ye Xiao, who sent her to her nurse-girlfriend for treatment, and found that she fell in love with Profile. But soon he understood the orientation of the silhouette and gave up, always respecting the silhouette in his heart. After the silhouette died, Ye Xiao and Mothman obtained the investigation data of the missing child at her residence and continued their investigation. The child disappearance case was blamed on the Hooded Judge by the laughter, and Ye Xiao and the Mothman finally forced the Hooded Judge to ruin.

After the militia was disbanded, the frustrated Ye Xiao retired to run the auto repair shop. He decided to write his autobiography on what he saw and heard. But Xiaojiang was ordered to delete part of the content that had bad influence, and confessed that he had planted the hood at the beginning and the murderer of the kidnapping case had been solved long ago. Ye Xiao was very shocked and regretful, and agreed to delete the content. The autobiography was finally published with great success, Ye Xiao was commended and received a personal statue. That is, the statue in "Watchmen" that was used by the gangster to kill Ye Xiao.

Silhouette (black silhouette):

The opening of "Watchmen" won the Second World War, and the silhouette and his girlfriend highly restored the photo "Kiss of Victory". Profile and his girlfriend met in an orphanage in Germany. At that time, Profile was still young and had a younger sister. Profile did her best to take care of her younger sister, and couldn't help falling in love with the nurse. His girlfriend began to use his savings to bribe to apply for a visa, and wanted to go away with Profile. But the children in this orphanage often disappear mysteriously, and one day it is finally the turn of the silhouetted sister. The profile was frantically chasing the whereabouts of his sister. It turned out that the missing children were cruelly mutilated. The profile shot revenge for her sister.

The profile came to the United States with his girlfriend. Affected by the death of his sister, the profile is extremely concerned about the missing child. At the beginning of the establishment of the militia, the members once discussed to resolve a major case and become famous as soon as possible. Silhouette suggested the missing child case that he had been investigating, but others thought the case was too difficult and too dangerous. Only Ye Xiao was interested in the case and reached out to the silhouette. After the profile was seriously injured, Ye Xiao once escorted her home for treatment.

The militiamen learned of her orientation, believing it would damage their reputation, and decided to vote on whether to expel the profile. Ye Xiao and the Mothman strongly opposed, the actor-born Silk Soul (Silk Ghost) and the straight male cancer hundred-dollar bill (bill) voted in favor, but the Metropolitan Captain and Hooded Judge who had been secretly engaging in the militia did not stand. On the side of the silhouette. The profile was expelled from the militia.

Silhouette and his girlfriend continued to investigate the missing child. On the night of the last call to Ye Xiao, the two were murdered in the hotel, and the words "LESBIAN WHORE" were smeared with their blood on the wall.

The profile was evaluated by Silk Soul and Ye Xiao as "the only militiaman who has a conscience and is truly doing just things."

Silk Soul (Silk Ghost) (One Generation):

Silk Soul is a pure actor. She has a good figure and a sloppy manner. Her agent thinks that packaging her as a superhero can be popular, so she hired some fake robbers to rob her and let Silk Soul show off. After that, Silk Soul joined forces with the captain of the Metropolis who was eager to become famous to form a militia, and organized a tryout to recruit newcomers. At the beginning of "Watchmen", the portrait of Silk Soul was painted on the fuselage of the plane that dropped the Hiroshima atomic bomb. As a female member of the team, Silk Soul often took military propaganda photos with the profile, and even made fun of the profile being too abstinent and would not pose.

The Captain of the Metropolis and the Hooded Judge are engaged, and Silk Soul’s agent arranges for the Silk Soul to get closer to the Hooded Judge to eliminate bad rumors. Silk Soul was originally unwilling, but reluctantly agreed for the image of a militia. Later, the Laughingsmith attempted to rape Silk Soul, and the Hooded Judge was the first to find out and beat Laughingsmith violently.

But Silk Soul does like Xiaojiang, although she married her agent, but on the day of the wedding she had a message with Xiaojiang in the bathroom. Sihun always thought that the relationship with Xiaojiang was too embarrassing, and then she avoided him when she saw Xiaojiang, and did not allow her daughter to recognize him.

After the silhouette died, Silk Soul came to her tombstone to mourn. She admired the silhouette very much and felt sorry for her death. The Silk Soul, who has always been embroidered with fist and embroidered legs, took up the weapon and slashed the murderer, and mocked the belated, hypocritical Metropolis Captain and Hooded Judge.

After retiring, the soul of Silk pampers herself at home and keeps in touch with Ye Xiao's old friends.

Metropolis Captain:

The Metropolis Captain is the richest among the militiamen. He wants to be a superhero more because he wants to be famous. He bought an abandoned factory and turned it into a militia base and lived there. In the relationship with the Hooded Judge, he belongs to the weaker side. The Hooded Judge has an S tendency. When he tied the Metropolis Captain to the bed for the first time, the Captain almost peeed in shock.

In order to make the militiamen famous as soon as possible, the metropolitan captain chose an arms smuggling case. He arranged the action plan of all members, and even opened his own tank. But what they attacked was not smuggled arms, but smuggled fireworks. The Captain of the Metropolis decided to take all the tricks, claiming that they had cracked the arms smuggling case, and then handed over the artillery shells from his tank as stolen goods. The people above felt that it was necessary to create a group of superhero images to stabilize the people's hearts, so they turned a blind eye to the behavior of the metropolis captain, and successfully made the militia famous.

Although he cherished the reputation of the militia very much and even expelled the profile, the captain of the metropolis never gave up his feelings with the hooded judge. After the militia was disbanded, the Hooded Judge has not stayed at his home for a long time. Laughing craftsman framed the child kidnapping case to the Hooded Judge, and Ye Xiao and the Mothman forced the Hooded Judge to the former militia base, the home of the Metropolitan Captain. The Metropolis Captain realized that his lover was a criminal behind his back, and chose to hold the hooded judge together and blow up the militia base to die.

Hooded Judge:

Executors with weird attire and shady behavior often stay in the house of the captain of the metropolis and like to play SM directly by taking off the rope wrapped around their body. I was teased by the laughter, "Which hero will have a sling hanging around his neck."

Xiaojiang impersonated him to blame for the kidnapping of children. The desperate hooded judge returned to the militia base that had been empty, and eventually died there.

Mothman:

Mothman joined the militia through selection. He not only has money, but also has a scientific heart. By accurately calculating the wind force and strictly controlling his weight, he can fly with the moth wings on his back. But in fact, the mothman is very scared every time he flies. If there is any deviation, he will fall and die. Before every flight, the mothman holds the mentality of betting his life.

The militia sees him as an air combat force, and is often responsible for dropping bombs or materials during missions. Mothman and Ye Xiao are good friends who talk about everything, and they also help Ye Xiao break the kidnapping case. But he has long been drinking and abusing drugs, and keeping his weight in order to fly makes him thin and withered. Ye Xiao often encourages him to cheer up, and sometimes sends him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

After killing the false murderer and hood judge, Mothman gave it to Ye Xiao an auto repair shop, and then bid farewell to his old friend. Ye Xiao understood that he might just want to leave the world quietly by himself, and did not go to ask again.

Hundred yuan bills (bills):

Big bills are pure actors like Silk Ghosts. The bank hired him to play the role of a superhero guarding the bank to make a profit. Dachao is very clear about his position, and he is willing to act in the bank, interact with the children who come to visit, and sell his own figures. After the orientation of the silhouette was exposed, Billy and Ye Xiao were chatting in the car. Billy was determined to get rid of the silhouette, thinking that the silhouette was disgusting.

At the meeting of the militia, the metropolitan captain arranged everyone's duty schedule. Daxian believed that it was in conflict with the working hours of his own bank and proposed to change shifts.

The militiamen were on the verge of disbanding, the hundred-yuan bill was stuck in the cloak of the bank revolving door, and the robbers shot and died.

There are many similarities between the costume of the hundred-dollar bill and Captain America. The red and blue color scheme and the five-pointed star on the head are very American.

Laughing craftsman:

Xiaojiang's time in the militia was very short. At that time, he was still a teenager and joined through selection, but he was dissatisfied with the style of the militia. The captain of the metropolis warned him to clean his hands and feet, because every time the prisoners caught by him were looted. Xiaojiang thought that a rich man like the captain of the metropolis would not understand his background in poverty, so the captain had to agree to pay everyone with the profit of the militia.

Xiaojiang attempted to rape Sigui and was expelled from the militia. Before leaving, he said, "A bunch of gays, let's play the eggs!"
