SPOILERS: DOOMSDAY CLOCK #4 Finally Reveals The Origin Story Of The New Rorschach

This week's issue of Doomsday Clock puts the spotlight on Rorschach as we finally learn how the pancake obsessed young man beneath the mask became the vigilante shortly after Walter Kovacs' demise. As many fans theorised, he is indeed the son of Dr. Malcolm Long, the psychiatrist who attempted to treat Rorschach in the Watchmen graphic novel. His parents died when that giant squid landed in New York City and Reggie, along with thousands of others, was left with mental problems. 

Those came as a result of seeing the "alien" as well as the radiation it gave off and it didn't take long until he found himself in a mental asylum. However, it was there he met Byron Lewis, a character better known as Mothman (we learned in the original graphic novel that he was institutionalised).

Having worked with the Minutemen and observed the Watchmen, he was able to train Reggie making him into a "one-man Minutemen." The two later escaped and the new Rorschach managed to track Ozymandias down before realising that he felt genuine remorse for his actions and that there was another way to save their world; finding Doctor Manhattan and travelling to the DC Universe! 

So, there you have it, Rorschach's origin story has been told and it's fair to say that Geoff Johns has done a solid job with it. What do you guys think? Be sure to let us know your thoughts down below.
