Silk Spectre II (Laurie Juspeczyk)

Laurel Jane "Laurie" Juspeczyk (pronounced "juice-puh-chik"), the second Silk Spectre, is the daughter of Sally Jupiter, the first Silk Spectre. Laurie's mother apparently wanted her to follow in her footsteps and so she fought crime for ten years before the Keene Act banned vigilantes. Unlike the other protagonists, Silk Spectre was not based on a particular Charlton character, although her relationship with Dr. Manhattan is similar to that between Captain Atom and the heroine Nightshade. Moore felt he needed a female hero in the cast and drew inspiration from comic book heroines such as Black Canary and Phantom Lady.[2]

Laurie is kept on retainer by the government because of her relationship with Doctor Manhattan and lives on a government base at the beginning of the comic. When Doctor Manhattan leaves Earth, the government has her removed from the base and suspends her expense account, forcing her to move in with Dan, with whom she starts a romantic relationship. At the end of the eighth issue, Doctor Manhattan appears and takes her to Mars because he knows she wants to convince him to save the world. On Mars, she realizes that the Comedian was her biological father. After the final encounter with Veidt at the end of the series, she assumes the identity of Sandra Hollis. In a 2003 draft script of Watchmen by David Hayter, which was reviewed by IGN, Laurie has the family name Jupiter and the alter ego name "Slingshot."[16]

In the Watchmen film she is played by Malin Akerman.

  • For the record - Jusepczyk should be pronounced "You-Sep(like in september)-Chick". Trust me, I'm Polish.

  • Adrian Veidt?

  • Shes fine as hell

  • She is the hottest interpretation of 1980s I've ever seen.

  • Great Spectre tribute, nice editing :D

  • She is such a fail actress they could had chosen someone better. She was one of lowest points of the movie. I would say Natielie Portman would had been perfect but they were aiming for BOOBIES & ASSES! not acting ability.

  • She's so hot!

  • She was the only good thing in the movie ! LOL

  • i lik the costume but its very different ftom the book, which would have been more revealing but would have looked riduclous

  • massive attack - angel :)
