Not exactly. A lot of the tension in Watchmen comes from the fact that he can't prevent the Soviets from launching a full scale nuclear war.

Only due to PIS. There should be a million things he could do to stop them.

Become a tyrant and fulfill my lifelong dream of world domination, ruling from my moon base.

But I'd not actually be there. It would be a ruse to get the rebellion to attack it, only to give away their locations.

Wasn't it Ozymandias that said that? He could have been wrong. He underestimated Manhattan at the end of the storyline when he tried to kill him.

I do plan on rereading it around Halloween so I'll have to double check that.

I do know that he explicitly states that he's not a god.

I'm not sure I'd call it tyranny in the sense that I'd be a tyrannical ruler, so much as I'd give ultimatums to world leaders.

Like, China: Leave Taiwan alone. Or else.

Who? Oh! Right! Doktor Manhatten, the Swedish physician known for wearing a hat made of a horse's mane.

Uh, what powers does he wield? The ability of... surgery?

He's got the Thanos/14,000,000 problem in which he only does exactly what he's supposed to do based on what he sees himself in the future doing. He doesn't try to actually change anything. If he fails to stop the soviets it's because he saw in the future that he failed to stop the soviets so when the time comes he will just intentionally fail.

I think you misinterpreted it. The tension isn't due to whether or not he can stop the nukes if they launched--it's whether or not he cared enough about humanity to deem it worth stopping them.

Go insane based on how he sees time.
Part of having his abilities is being able to effortlessly comprehend time in that way; he doesn't freak out or go insane, because to him it's as plain as what a person like you or I would see with our eyes. Like he said, he has "seen events so tiny and so fast that they could hardly be said to have occurred at all."

His perceptions are absolutely mind-blowing to us, but not to him--to him it's just the way he sees things every day.

That may be true butI don't have the personality to cope with that.
