The Comedian is one of the only masked adventurers to be a member of both the Minutemen and the Crimebusters and was active for forty-five years through the aid of government-sponsored activities and the press conjuring him into a patriotic symbol of war and victory.
Edward Blake is a cigar-chomping, gun-toting vigilante turned paramilitary agent. He is described variously as “deliberately amoral” with a “practised cynicism”, meaning that he usually has little regard for social conventions or human life.
Always in character as the Comedian, he describes the world as a sadistic joke that only he understands, but in the end, his practised cynicism is shattered when he discovers a plot that he regards as a “practical joke” even he can’t believe anyone would pull.
