Watchdogs
The Watchdogs are a fictional right-wing terrorist group appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They were almost exclusively enemies of Captain America, and first appeared in Captain America #335.
Concept and creation
The Watchdogs first appeared in Captain America #335 (Nov 1987) and were created by Mark Gruenwald and Tom Morgan.
Most of the villains Mark Gruenwald introduced in Captain America were created to symbolize aspects of contemporary American culture and the world political situation. In the case of the Watchdogs, Gruenwald created them to symbolize censorship and repression.
Philosophy, goals, and activities
The Watchdogs are dedicated to restoring and preserving traditional American culture and values, and fighting against indecency, immorality, and sexual perversion. The Watchdogs seek to impose their conservative moral views on the general public; they believe in strict enforcement of family values, and are violently opposed to pornography, obscenity, sex education, abortion, homosexuality, and the teaching of evolutionary theory. Their terrorist activities, which include vandalism, arson, intimidation, assault, kidnapping, brainwashing, and murder, are targeted primarily at people who produce material which the Watchdogs consider pornographic, including nude art and sexually explicit music.
