I always thought the "Tales of the Black Freighter" story was made to represent Rorschach or the Comedian.

I was born in 2002, and the first iteration of the Watchmen story that I experienced was definitely the 2009 Zack Snyder film. It wasn't until I was 17 or 18 that watched the Motion Comic Adaptation of the story soon after. People keep saying that the sailor captain is supposed to represent the character, Ozymandias. But I always thought the captain was similar to either Rorschach or the Comedian; at least in the movie versions. That's just what I thought to myself.

What do you all think? Please explain in details!
