The Hero's Lesson In The Film Watchmen

Watchmen is full of superheroes, kinda. Superheros are people with extraordinary powers that others don 't have, superheroes also have the ambitions and values that a hero may have. These two things combine to make a superhero who they are. All of the heroes presented and seen in Watchmen have no extraordinary powers.
