Eliot trained them to be CIA agents, and now they enter the agency and are given the code names Romulus (Peter Strauss) and Remus (David Morse). What they do not know is that Eliot is building his own private army within the CIA. After Romulus takes a job that results in the death of civilians, he finds himself on the run from the CIA. He learns that Eliot betrayed him and Remus from the time they were taken into his home as children and that he "adopted" 18 other boys as well to form his new army. Now, Romulus and Remus team up in seeking revenge against Eliot for all the years he had deceived them and for all the others he had hurt over the years. 1 User Review

Their groups are divided into Generation 1 from the 1940s and Generation 2, which followed. One member of Gen 2, Laurie/Silk Spectre (Malin Ackerman), spans both Generations because she is the child of a Gen 1 member (Carla Gugino). Gen 1 Watchmen have moved on; Ozymandias (Matthew Goode) has become a head of industry, and Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup) is now a physicist. When The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is killed, his former colleague Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) joins forces with his group of retired Gen 2 Watchmen to uncover a plot to rid the world of superheroes. The nuclear clock is ticking, and Rorschach sees a conspiracy that reaches both Generations, and the battle is on to save humanity.
