	Silk Spectre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Silk Spectre is the name shared by a mother and daughter, fictional characters in the comic book series Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, and published by DC Comics.
		However, Alan Moore has stated that he found Nightshade "boring," and that Silk Spectre was modeled on sexier characters such as the Phantom Lady and Black Canary.
		The first Silk Spectre was former waitress and burlesque dancer Sally Jupiter (her real last name was Juspeczyk; she wished to hide her Polish heritage), who entered action sometime around 1938.

		Silk Spectre, with her cynical edge, excellent fighting skills, and skepticism, places her in the modern category.
		Silk Spectre realizes the confines presented to female super-heroes, and she wants to divest herself of the feminine stereotype and be taken as seriously by society as her male counterparts.
		We see that the second Silk Spectre hates The Comedian for assaulting her mother, and this, in turn, provides more conflict when she realizes that he is indeed her father.

		The Silk Spectre II A reluctant superhero, she was pushed toward the vocation by her mother, Silk Spectre I, a successful crime fighter prior to her birth.
		Something of a hedonist, she challenges her role as the Silk Spectre, and chooses to engage in a relationship with Doctor Manhattan.
		The Silk Spectre's indulgent, carefree attitude is exactly the opposite of Doctor Manhattan's pensive wonderings about the future of the human race, and causes Doctor Manhattan to leave Earth after the dissolution of the relationship.

		Oddly, silk beasts are male: there is a rarer female version, whom the beasts feed and take care of, called the Silk Spectre.
		Silk beasts are generally made of many different colors of silk, all soaked in blood, but those made predominantly of red or fl silk are more powerful.
		Silk beasts, because of their nature, are very resistant to normal weapons and to cold, though vulnerable to fire.

		Just about the only thing that allows him to care for humanity's fate at all is his love for the embittered, unhappy Laurie Juspeczyk, once the slinky crime fighter known as Silk Spectre.
		Laurie, who took on that role only because her mother used that identity in the 1940s, is now deeply disgusted with her past and deeply unsatisfied with her current life as Manhattan's kept woman.
		For instance, during the jailbreak involving Rorschach, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre fly in to free their unlovable colleague, who is at that very moment pursuing an old enemy through the corridors of the prison.

		Nightshade was the token female heroine of the Golden Age comics, much like Silk Spectre I. She also shares the characteristic of working alongside an immensely powerful partner like Silk Spectre II.
		The name Silk Spectre appears to be fairly arbitrary outside of its loose connection to an ephemeral shade or spirit.

		For those unfamiliar with the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comic book, Sally Juspeczyk (she later changed her surname to Jupiter) was the mother of Laurie Jupiter.
		Both women fought crime under the guise of The Silk Spectre.
		Sally's relationship with the slain Comedian (Edward Blake) is a key subplot in both the comic and the screenplay adaptation by David Hayter.

		Rorschach, victim of a horrendous childhood, wears a fl-and-white mask and rains vengeance on evildoers—incinerating a murderous kidnapper for openers.
		Later, his bleak philosophy is contradicted when two of his crime-busting compatriots, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre, make love after a massive holocaust ("Being alive is so damn sweet"), their shadows echoing the scorched silhouettes of Hiroshima.
		In Watchmen's ersatz 1985, Nixon reigns in a fifth term and God exists in the form of Dr. Manhattan, a diffident watchmaker transmuted into a supremely powerful being (and handy counterweight to the Reds' nuclear arsenal) by a botched physics experiment.

		I don't know -- he was great in SOTD, but I haven't seen him in anything else, and he's probably way too young (around 32) to play a disgustingly wasted guy in his mid-forties.

		The superhero formerly known as the Nite Owl and former superheroine Silk Spectre are the humanizing element, and the youngest of the retired masked heroes.
		They took over their superhero identities from the first generation of vigilantes, and like the X-Generation, they find themselves suspended in limbo between youth and age, inheriting the sins of the previous generation but none of the benefits.
		In this climate of chaos and compromise, Nite Owl's and Silk Spectre's motives are pure.

		In fact, in many ways he seems to be rather evil, for instance, in his attempted rape of the original Silk Spectre or his ruthless shooting of a Vietnamese woman pregnant with his child.
		His killing of the millions presents a dilemma to the heroes present however, as Ozymandias says, "Will you expose me, undoing the peace millions died for?"14 and the new Silk Spectre says, "Jesus.
		All we did was fail to stop him from saving earth."15 So these heroes, living in a "rudderless world", see themselves as having to use whatever means necessary to save the world from itself.
