Forthcoming: No kidding, a series: "Why I Watched the Watchmen."
In view of that, I tender this: This gets pretty close to what Alan Moore (creator) had in mind in Watchmen--only he imagines something much darker and more harmful. He's not wrong, in my opinion. Not altogether, anyway.
So your homework, class--how might this idea (from the link above) be brought into conversation with the Gospel? Or, to sound less emergentish, what does the Gospel speak to such things?
