Damon Lindelof’s Explanation For ‘Watchmen’s ‘Lube Man’ Is Hilarious

Damon Lindelof shared a humorous post on the mysterious made figure who debuted in the most recent episode of Watchmen.

During last Sunday’s episode of Watchmen, Regina King’s Sister Night paths with a new costumed character who has been dubbed “Lube Man.” The character earned the moniker after being pursued by Sister Night and dousing himself in lube to slide through a narrow passage in the sewer.

Lube Man’s introduction to Watchmen has already become one of the most-talked-about moments on the series and series creator Damon Lindelof shared an Instagram post on the masked figured debut. In the post, Damon Lindelof featured a clip of the scene in question with a caption reading, “All I ever wanted in life was for this to happen when people do a google search for “‘Lube Man.'”
