The Watchmen, Dr. Manhattan and Kabbalistic Apotheosis
Dr. Manhattan from The Watchmen is framed as a Christ archetype undergoing Kabbalistic apotheosis. His transformation from a scientist to a god-like figure involves alchemical themes and a dualistic nature, serving as the "savior" of the United States. The character's name references the Manhattan Project, and the story includes conspiratorial elements like the Moloch figure associated with Bohemian Grove.
