Senator Keene - Watchmen (1986)

An American politician and elected representative of the Senate, Senator Keene proposed for the passing of a bill that would regulate the presence of masked vigilantes in America and forcibly retire any that do not have the approval of the American Government.

In 1977, after numerous police strikes and riots, the Keene Act was eventually passed, leading to the retirement of both Nite Owl and Silk Spectre, as well as Rorschach becoming a wanted criminal by the N.Y.P.D.
