Silk Spectre II
Laurie Jane Juspeczyk is a fictional character from the Watchmen American comic book limited series created by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins. The daughter of Sally Jupiter, the original Silk Spectre, and the Comedian, Laurie is the second character in Watchmen to take up the Silk Spectre mantle. During the events of Watchmen, she served as the series' main female protagonist. In the 2009 film Watchmen, Laurie is portrayed by Malin Åkerman.
Laurie Juspeczyk was born in 1949. Sally Jupiter pushed her daughter into the "family business" of crime fighting. Laurie never held much interest in becoming her mother's successor, but went along with Sally's wishes anyway; growing up, the auburn-haired Laurie knew Laurence Schexnayder was not her real father, and always believed, incorrectly, that her real father was Hooded Justice.
Laurie's first memory ever was a night of 1954 when she caught her mother and her husband Laurence, arguing and fighting over their lives and how they ended up together. In reality, Laurence scolded Sally for having another affair with the Comedian.
By 1962 Laurie was living with her family in a Los Angeles villa where "Uncle Hollis" would pay them a visit, like when he came to discuss about the book he was writing.
Sally acted like an agent for her daughter, picking out her revealing costume, bringing her to the meeting of the ill-fated "Crimebusters" in a limousine and waiting outside for her to finish. After the meeting broke up, Laurie met the Comedian outside, who commented and complimented her for being the spitting image of her mother, but their conversation was broken up quickly by an angry Sally. Laurie noted that the Comedian looked sad as he watched them drive away, and she felt sorry for him. The following car ride home was when Sally told her daughter of her history with the Comedian (but did not tell her that the Comedian was her father). Disgusted and deeply saddened for her mother's pain, Laurie never forgave the Comedian for his actions, though it seems that as time passed, and in a complicated way, Sally was able to come to terms with it, even to the point that she was willing to defend the Comedian from Laurie's derogatory remarks after he was murdered.
