Ozymandias
Abilities:

Adrian Veidt, a.k.a. Ozymandias, is known as the “Smartest Man in the World”. The first of the Watchmen hero’s to retire from crime-fighting, before the Keene Act of 1977. He went public with his identity and used his fame to start an enterprise.
Veidt was born into a rich family. As a teenager he was greatly inspired by Alexander the Great and the Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, which he based his superhero identity on. When he inherited a fortune he gave it all away so that he could truly succeed from nothing.
Veidt came-out of retirement when he realized that masked vigilante could not deal with the world’s evil alone. He took it upon himself to “fix” this problem, and concocted a plan to “save the world from itself”. He believed that killing millions of innocent people would distract the rest of the world from its potential WWIII and concentrate more on living together in peace. This forces Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, and Jon to question his plan, and fight against him to save humanity.
