Doctor Jonathan Osterman (1929 - ), a.k.a. Doctor Manhattan is a character in Watchmen.
Due to an accident involving a nuclear physics experiment, Dr. Osterman was taken outside the physical realm and returned with god-like powers, including superhuman strength, telekinesis, the ability to teleport himself or others over planetary, and interplanetary distances, control over matter at a subatomic level, near total clairvoyance. Furthermore, He perceives the past, present and future as happening simultaneously, but at least believes that he cannot act on that knowledge since his own actions and reactions to chronological events are apparently predetermined.
While his military backers market him as a superhero, he grows increasingly disinterested in human affairs, despite his importance in the Cold War, and is unable to connect with others, especially his love interest Laurie, the second Silk Spectre.

"Hurm...That's not exactly fitting."
Not an insult. Statement of fact. Voluntary choice not to question why 'Big Balls' is playing. Fiddle with sonic screwdriver. Sudden stillness is almost suffocating.
