Evangelion Watchmen –
NERV HQ was in ruins after the 10th angel Zeruel attack. The angel defeated Mari who had hijacked Unit-02 and Rei in Unit-00. She had tried to use a N2 mine but it wasn't enough to kill the angel. And Rei in Unit-00 was eaten by the angel. Shinji in Unit-01 defeated the angel but because of what happen earlier when Gendo orders the activation of the Dummy System, grievously injured Asuka. Snap and is now causing 3rd Impact. The Nerv staff could only watch in horror as the world around them is being destroyed.
"You people have pushed him too far," a voice called out.
Looking around the staff saw the homeless man who Shinji had made an odd friendship with. He's a old man who always wears a coat which stinks and looks like he has seen hell. They have all seen him, as he always carried around a 'The End Is Near' sign all the time. Even now he carried it.
Misato knew him well as he hangs out near where Rei lives. He also help get Shinji to safety when the first angel attack. Since then he has appeared every now and then, giving Shinji advice or when he needs someone to talk to. She has told him he's dangerous but he kept on going to him whenever he needed someone to talk to. She had section 2 look into him. But they always come up empty handed. He doesn't have any past, or records of any kind.
Shinji like him as he knows plenty about the mask heroes who use to run around in America, years before 2nd impact. She was surprise when she found out that Shinji looks up to the heroes of old. He reads the two Under the Hood books all the time. The first of the first group of heroes of the first book, written by the first Nite-Owl. Then the second book written by the second Silk Stockings, written by her before she died of old age after 2nd impact. He would often talk of how the world would have been better off if Manhattan hadn't given up on the world. (1)
"But what would, I expect from people who uses children to fight for them. Even if we survive you would still blame Shinji for starting 3rd Impact. Even if you are all the reason why he snap. Forcing him to almost kill Asuka who he cares about, even as he pleaded for you all to stop it. Which any of you could have if you have cared enough to do so. And watching his other friend get eaten. With all what happen to him. Did any of you really think about what would happen if you place a child in a machine that could end the world, who's mind is shattered? No you people don't care. As long as you all can live you don't care how ruined the children you're making to fight your battles become, as long as the world is saved. And you leave that in the hands of children who have every right to hate the world who force them to face horrors that would cripple an adult. Did you really think it would have ended well?" the man ask.
"I do care about them," Misato shouted.
"No you don't if you did you wouldn't force them to fight your battles," the man said.
"Who do you think you are?" Misato shouted back.
The man said nothing as he pulls out a mask and hat putting them on. All the NERV staff who recognized the mask gasp. Fuyutsuki the oldest of the group recognized him, as the mask hero Rorschach who vanished when he was still a boy. Back when there were still masked heroes and a god walked the earth. Before the god grew angry with the war between east and west. Doctor Manhattan destroyed several major cities around the world and then left the world. What happen to the other heroes no one really knew as they all just faded away or died.
"Rorschach but how? You would be older then me," Fuyutsuki said paling as he knew far too well what the mask hero in front of him is willing to do.
"Manhattan sent me to the future after, I wouldn't stay quite about who really destroyed those cities years ago. Didn't really matter in the long run. Adrian Veidt the one who cause it, is long dead and the others are all gone. Only two of us heroes are left now. You people aren't going to save this world," Rorschach said.
"Two?" Gendo ask.
A blue light replaced the red light cause by 3rd Impact. All the NERV staff gasp as they watch a giant glowing blue man floating down from the sky. The energies that were released by Unit-01 stop as if it was never even there. The blue giant reached into Unit-01 like it was water, pulling out both Shinji and Rei in his open hand. Then the world shifted as all the damage caused by 3rd Impact was restored.
"God has return," Fuyutsuki said falling to his knees. Followed by other members of the NERV staff in awe and fear seeing a god before them. (2)
"And he's not happy in how this world has turn out," Rorschach said. "From now on. We're going to save this world that's not worth saving."

Author's Notes -
1 - Under the Hood second vol. was written by the second Silk Stocking's who lived through 2nd impact the only hero left. She wrote about the heroes of her generation as the first Nite-Owl did. She did write about the final days that happen in the comic, with some key differences. She rewrote how Adrian Veidt was behind the events, as she feared that old scorns might raise up if the world learned the truth. Everything is the same expect that she wrote Veidt was planning on staging a fake alien invasion by cloning a giant alien squid, but never followed through. As Manhattan destroyed major cities around the world. She wrote how Rorschach died in the fight before they saw the news of what Manhattan had done.
2 - Manhattan is god as there isn't any being who can claim different. As no one else has the power to surpass his. Which is why after he won the Vietnam War the enemy soldiers would only surrender to him. None of the angels are a match for him as they can't exist in space and time as he can. For how do you destroy something that exist all at once in time? Or can take you apart just by willing it?
