This is what gets you hot Blake had been expelled from the Minutemen with minimal publicity, but Sally Jupiter 's agent, Laurence Schexnayder , persuaded her not to press charges against him for fear of what it would do to the group's image, so he continued his profession on his own, [4] although his self-restraint continued to slip.

Following his expulsion from the Minutemen , Blake continued to fight criminals as an independent costumed crimefighter. In , Blake was stabbed by a small-time hoodlum and was seriously injured.

Due to this, he decided to upgrade his costume into a leather-based uniform for his own protection, [5] and began carrying a pistol. He gained recognition as a war hero for his efforts and successes. In May 6th, , Blake made a bet with a military officer that he could kill all seven Japanese prisoners of war with just eight bullets at a range of 50 paces.

Blake shot and killed seven Japanese prisoners of war. Blake was court martialed for the incident, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. While in Tokyo , Blake contracted Syphilis and was treated by Dr.

Edward Ross. Around he had another encounter with Sally Jupiter while she had been married to Laurence Schexnayder. One year later she had a child that would be later revealed to be Laurie. While never explicitly mentioned, the second sexual encounter between the Comedian and the first Silk Spectre is said to be consensual, and at the end, in spite of everything, Sally had feelings for the Comedian.

In there appeared to be a movie produced by Stellar Studios starring or featuring the Comedian in the works. It was titled Okinawa Dawn and seems to be based on his adventures in the Pacific theatre, possibly inspired by war hero Audie Murphy's biographical movie about his own exploits.

The page of the script that was revealed shows the Comedian alongside several soldiers. One of them has wandered into danger and the Comedian fights all protests and runs off to save him. He is ambushed by a hidden Japanese soldier. A fight ensues and ends with the soldier at the Comedian's mercy.

He has a knife, poised to slit the soldier's throat, but throws it aside and ties him up, saying "Looks like the war is gonna end a bit early for you, friend. During the s , while his former peers were column-fillers, Blake flourished as the only masked adventurer left still making headlines due to his government connections which were transforming him into a sort of patriotic symbol of American justice.

During the House UnAmerican Activities Committee hearings, Blake was the only vigilante not forced to testify due to his involvement with the government. He discussed a little with a troubled Captain Metropolis. Hollis Mason , the original Nite Owl, had published his autobiography Under the Hood in and he disclosed the Comedian's sexual assault on Sally Jupiter , though Blake never sued the author. That same year, he was invited to join the Crimebusters by Captain Metropolis , but he quickly ruined the older hero's hope of a new team by mocking him, claiming he was only doing it for vanity and glory, and even set his display on fire while saying that old fashioned crime-fighting methods were useless for saving the world when the threat of nuclear war lay overhead at all times.

It was also here that the Comedian met his daughter, Laurie Juspeczyk , now the new Silk Spectre, and asked her if her mother ever talked about him, but their conversation was quickly broken up by an angry Sally Jupiter.

The Comedian seemed genuinely perplexed that Sally was still holding a grudge against him, saying he thought they had settled their differences. That was until her mother told her of their past history but still not telling Laurie that she was his daughter , after which she felt nothing but disgust and hatred towards him.

With all this talk of comic books and comedy, you might think Blake is based on the Joker , but in fact he has more in common with the Charlton hero Peacemaker. He attempts to rape Sally Jupiter, shoots his pregnant, Vietnamese girlfriend to death, and more.

With heroes like this, who needs villains? How does he end up like this? In , at age 20, Blake is all ego and aggression. Be careful what you wish for, Eddie.
