How many times is the word Watchmen used in the Watchmen?

Answer 1

In the graphic novel they don't actually say the word Watchmen at all, they used the term 'masks' a lot though. The term 'watchmen' is meant to refer to superheroes in general, not a group. In the movie they use it maybe five or six times but they still stuck with the idea that it wasn't a specific crimefighting team.

Answer 2

The word "Watchmen" is used 13 times in the original Watchmen graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
