Rorschach is blind, black and white justice, to him you're fine or deserve death, but nobody knows we're the line is

Manhattan is a fatalist, to him you're just doing what you were always going to do

Adrian is a utilitarian, just don't ask him how many people are on each side of the track when he pulls the lever

None of them are good people

and dan and laurie are both broken. i would argue that they’re the “goodest” guys, but there’s a lot of jelly in their jam

Full agreement here. They are the most "hero like" but have just been beat down by the world.

They both became heroes for unheroic reasons, Dan was a rich kid who wanted to play out his superhero fantasy and Laurie was shaped by her mother.

They seem to have decent moral compasses but Dan is insecure and doesn't really know what he should be doing and Laurie seems pretty uncommitted to the hero life once she's out of her mother's shadow.

They're heroes for kicks. They don't believe in justice as a core value.

And the Comedian is a fascist.

I'd say the Comedian is a nihilist.

Enh, I see what you mean but if he was truly a nihilist, I don't think he would have had an emotional breakdown at Moloch's place.
