The Comedian is sent back right where he left, falling from his penthouse window in 1985 and dying at Ozymandias' hands. Doomsday Clock #12 ends with the various refugees of the Watchmen universe returning home, some to happier fates than others. The Watchmen Universe RedeemedManhattan doesn't just save the DCU, but also his home universe. Does this mean we can finally look forward to a new Marvel/DC crossover ten years from now? Maybe, thought we suspect writer Geoff Johns is including this material more as wishful thinking than as a way of confirming concrete plans. Manhattan sees Superman battling Thor, followed by Hulk sacrificing himself to save the Man of Steel. Even more intriguing, Manhattan witnesses a 2030 conflict called "Secret Crisis," one which apparently involves a crossover between the Marvel and DC Universes. Clearly, Doomsday Clock is a key building block to 5G. DC has been teasing 5G in recent months, hinting at what Co-Publisher Dan Didio has called an "ultimate timeline" that cements DC's history, divides into into four distinct periods and paves the way for a new, fifth generation of heroes. He refers to 2026 as the year the timeline is "restored," resulting in something called 5G. He witnesses the return of the Old Gods in 2020 and a new Crisis in 2025. Manhattan continues to watch as future timelines continue to reshape the metaverse and birth yet more new worlds. This act of selflessness profoundly affects Manhattan, in the same way Laurie Blake once reminded him of the magic of thermodynamic miracles. In this moment, Superman cares only about saving lives and preventing the destruction of his world. Instead, he merely intercepts another attacking villain, sparing Manhattan's life in the process. For a brief moment, it appears as though Superman has finally been pushed over the edge and intends to kill Manhattan.

That fateful moment finally comes as Superman learns it was Doctor Manhattan who caused the car accident that killed his parents as a teenager. Manhattan knows either Superman will kill him, or the metaverse is about to be destroyed.

His vision of the future ends with an image of an enraged Superman charging directly at him, followed by infinite blackness. Superman is desperate to prevent an all-out world war fueled by fear and paranoia, but Manhattan refuses to do anything more than observe. Superman and Manhattan finally meet in issue #12, even as the Man of Steel fights a lopsided battle against dozens of powerful villains.
