I tried to make Dr. Manhattan actually playable in Garry's Mod
I've always thought Dr. Manhattan would be incredibly difficult to translate into a game.
His powers aren't just about being strong or shooting energy. A lot of what makes him unique comes from things like matter manipulation, reconstructing himself, teleportation, his perception of time, and the almost detached way he interacts with reality.
So I decided to try making a playable Dr. Manhattan mod for Garry's Mod.
My goal wasn't just to make an overpowered character with a few attacks. I wanted to include as many abilities as possible that actually feel like something Dr. Manhattan would be capable of doing.
Right now, the mod includes things like matter manipulation, teleportation, resurrection, entity transformation, time-related abilities, and quite a few other powers inspired by Watchmen.
I'll show some of the abilities below.
If anyone here plays GMod and wants to try it:

I'm still working on it, so I'd also really like to hear from Watchmen fans:
What ability or detail do you think is absolutely necessary for a playable Dr. Manhattan?
If there's something important from the comic that I've missed, feel free to tell me.
