Eddie Blake's Apartment is a luxury apartment on the Promethea Building[1] where Eddie Blake resided.
History[]
Eddie Blake's Residence[]
Eddie Blake moved to the Promethea Building sometime before October 1985. Because of his work as a government operative, he was constantly away from his apartment and maintained little to no contact with his neighbors.[1]
Assassination of Eddie Blake[]
On October 11th 1985, Adrian Veidt broke into Eddie Blake's apartment and beats the man to a bloody pulp before throwing him through a large window and fell thirty stories to his death. Veidt stole money from the apartment to mislead investigators away from his true motive.[2][3]
Murder Investigation[]
The following morning, Detectives Joe Bourquin and Steven Fine investigate Eddie Blake's apartment. They suspect multiple perpetrators, given the murderer's ferocity.
Later that night, Rorschach climbed up the Promethea Building to investigate himself. Hidden in a closet, he discovered a secret compartment in Blake's bedroom containing the Comedian's uniform, weapons, a photograph of the Minutemen, and other memorabilia.[2]
Trivia[]
- The original series never explicitly stated what floor Eddie Blake lived on, however, the height is sufficient enough for Blake to have been killed after being thrown out the window.[2]
- While the murder of Eddie Blake is shown mostly through flashbacks in the original miniseries, the film chose to use it as a scene prior to the intro. The film version revealed that Blake did put up a fight against Adrian Veidt, as suggested by one of the detectives.[4]
- In the film, Eddie Blake's apartment number was 3001 but after throwing the cup it knocks down the 1 making it 300, a nod to Zack Snyder's previous film of the same name.
