* River and Simon are the direct descendants of Laurie and Dan—they have the looks, the intelligence, and wealth inherited from Dan's inventions. River is also a descendant of Ozymandias, resulting in prodigy-level intellect and physical ability, unusual thinking patterns, and potential mental instability—she must be Simon's half-sister, as Simon shows no signs. Either Doctor Manhattan has chosen her to test his theory of creating superhumans, by granting her a small amount of his omniscience, or she is also a descendant of the psychic sacrificed by Ozymandias to create his monster in the comic.

** '''"I can't kill anybody. EECCCH. So don't ask."''' - Of course not, because if he can kill anybody, he can kill everybody, and he doesn't want to effect such long-lasting changes on humanity, especially not before Jon Ostermann was even born.

*** Along that same vein: '''"...and NO wishing for more wishes! That's it, THREE: uno, dos, tres. No substitutions, expansions or refunds!"''' - he also carefully limits the wisher's power, no need letting himself be a TOTAL puppet again ._. .
