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.
Assassination of Eddie Blake[]
On October 11th 1985, Adrian Veidt went to the Promethea Building with the intention of assassinating Eddie Blake. He broke into Eddie Blake's apartment and beat the man to a bloody pulp before throwing him through a large window, falling thirty stories to his death. Veidt stole money from the apartment to mislead investigators away from his true motive.
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 costume and weapons, a photograph of the Minutemen, and other memorabilia.
