They move together to New York, where she establishes herself as a hero and meets Dr Manhattan. Unable to remain in San Francisco, she returns home to her mother. He stumbles into the street and is hit by a bus, killing him. She confronts the Chairman, who nearly beats her until she kicks him, embedding her boot heel in his throat. Unbeknownst to her, her boyfriend is forced by the Comedian to join the Army, and her home is attacked by minions of Chairman. Her boyfriend is poisoned by this drug during a party, and she attacks the vendor, Gurustein, and threatens his boss, the Chairman, to put an end to their plan. She becomes involved in investigating a drug ring that is pushing a mind-controlling version of LSD on unsuspecting hippies. The pair move in with a group of artists, and Juspeczyk begins to engage in vigilante activities. Running away from home, Juspeczyk moves to San Francisco with her boyfriend. She visits her mother to make peace, and she and Dreiberg leave to resume their masked adventures. In the aftermath, Juspeczyk and Dreiberg, presumed dead in the explosion in New York, take on new identities as a married couple. Veidt is able to convince her and the other assembled heroes, save Rorschach, that his plan should be allowed to proceed unhindered. She shoots Veidt, but he manages to catch the bullet and defeat her. This successfully convinces Manhattan to return them to Earth, and she is teleported to Antarctica where Nite Owl and Rorschach are having their climactic confrontation with Adrian Veidt, who has been manipulating events to cause a catastrophe in order to save the world from itself. There, they discuss the value of human life, and Laurie discovers that the Comedian, whom she has long hated for his attempted rape of her mother, was in fact her father. They succeed, and return to Dreiberg's house, where Dr Manhattan suddenly appears and teleports her to Mars. She reluctantly agrees to his plan to break the recently-arrested Rorschach out of prison. The pair soon put on their costumes to rescue people from a burning building, and, exhilarated in the aftermath, begin a physical relationship. Following Dr Manhattan's self-exile to Mars, she is kicked out of her government accommodations, and offered a place to stay by Dreiberg. The pair reminisce about super-heroics, and later fight a gang that attacks them. Angered by Manhattan's aloofness, she contacts and meets up with Dan Dreiberg, the former Nite Owl. He attempts to warn them of a potential mask killer, but she angrily demands he leave, and Manhattan teleports him away. She and Dr Manhattan are approached by Rorschach following the death of the Comedian. She has no direct inspiration, but is partially based on Nightshade, Black Canary, and Phantom Lady. She made her first appearance in Watchmen #1.
Laurie Juspeczyk was created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Retiring as Silk Spectre following the Keene Act of 1977, she moved in with Dr Manhattan and was kept by the government to ensure that Manhattan remained happy and compliant. Returning to her mother sometime later, she was invited to join the Crimebusters, where she met Dr Manhattan, with whom she soon became romantically involved. At 16, feeling stifled by her mother's rules and unsavoury legacy, she ran away to San Francisco with her boyfriend.
The daughter of the original Silk Spectre and, unbeknownst to her, the Comedian, Laurie Juspecyzk was raised from a young age to carry on her mother's legacy. For the first Silk Spectre, see Sally Jupiter. This article is about the second person to use the name Silk Spectre, Laurie Juspeczyk.
