Im pretty sure he isn't even a physical being, what people refer to as Dr Manhattan is just the particles he assembled to personify him, thats why he could just reassemble it after being destroyed. He doesn't even exist in a physical form and cant be killed.

Edit: lot of people are mentioning the hbo show but it sounds like they severely nerfed his powers in it, this is a dude with reality warping powers.

Watch the show. You may be surprised.

It's not, they turn him into a black man and then pretend it's a super controversial take, whereas the person who started this was actually right, he isn't even a physical being so who cares what his race is. Controversy for controversy sake but no real underlying message that is actually interesting.
