Rorschach is one of the main characters in Watchmen, the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Wizard Universe says Rorschach is "one of the most compelling and frightening characters in comics' history." With a rough voice, lightning-fast moves and a black-and-white view of the world, Rorschach's administers justice according to his own rules. Behind a black and white mask Rorschach's identity is hidden. The mask's constantly changing patterns, like a Rorschach test, may be interpreted as a projection of themselves to anyone who views it.Empire: Rorschach
