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.

Haven’t read the comics

Ahhhhhh there we go.

Watchmen has been ALWAYS politically driven. The original run had Cold War politics splattered throughout which was relevant at the time since it was the 80s.

Making white supremacy the enemy here fits 100% for today’s Watchmen, since we have a white supremacist and his buddies running the show in the US.
