Due to an accident involving an atomic physics experiment, Dr. Osterman was taken outside the physical realm and returned with god-like powers, including superhuman strength, telekinesis, the ability to teleport himself or others over planetary, interplanetary and possibly interstellar distances, control over matter at a molecular level, and near total clairvoyance.
The exact limit to the number of people other than himself he can teleport at one time or the distance he can teleport them is unknown. It is quite possible there may be none since on one occasion he teleports a whole crowd of rioters away from the streets and into their own homes.
While his military backers market him as a superhero, he grows increasingly uninterested in human affairs, despite his importance in the Cold War, and is unable to connect with others, especially his love interest Laurie, the former Silk Spectre.
Dr. Manhattan was created by Watchmen writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons but, like all main characters of the series, he is a modified version of a Charlton Comics character, in this case Captain Atom, created by Steve Ditko.
