Living Emotional Crutch: Difference between revisions

* [[Invoked]] in ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'', where [[The Government]] employs young women (Janey Slater and later, Laurie Juspeczyk) as Living Emotional Crutches for the [[Physical God]] Dr. Manhattan, [[Genre Savvy|realizing]] that this is pretty much the only thing that can preserve the last shreds of humanity within him (and also incidentally, keep him on the planet and working for the right people). True enough, as soon as Laurie dumps him, Dr. Manhattan moves to Mars with no intent of ever visiting humanity again. {{spoiler|And it's Laurie again who manages to renew his interest in humanity and come back to Earth, however briefly.}}

* Rick Jones to [[Incredible Hulk|The Incredible Hulk]]. Also Betty Banner and (on a good day) Doc Samson.
