Why didn't a lot of people try to become Dr Manhattans?

I would have scrambled into the intrinsic field generator after the first superman appeared.

Adrian Veidt at the very least should have tried this.

I dunno about you but I *might* be kinda ashamed to have my blue hoo-haa hanging out…that might be why.

That always puzzled me about 'Watchmen' wouldn't the Governments of earth would have at least tried to or maybe a would be super villain? The only reason I could possibly see why no government tried it was because they didn't want another omnipotent being they'd have to deal with? Another wild card they couldn't control.

What would have been the outcome of 2 Dr Manhattans battling?

Wasn't this covered in MM #15? no, wait that was just a battle between supermen, not gods.

Basically it would be a draw-one Manhattan would disintigrate the other then he'd just re-form. They'd have to just agree to disagree.

Too much of a narcissist. He wouldn't take the chance of it ruffling his hair.

The way I remember it was that it was by sheer randomness, luck and a bit of subconscious willpower that made the good doctor reform himself in to a humanoid being. So it wasn't a given that this could happen to everyone. That and the fact that you seem to loose your humanity and become almost emotionless has its drawbacks too.
