Não, não reagiu ao seu estado emocional. Embora a tecnologia pudesse ter existido, e Ozymandias pudesse ter conseguido, a máscara de Rorschach era na verdade parte de um acidente de sua carreira trabalhando com uma costureira.
Do Wiki do Watchman :
Rorschach's mask (which he refers to as his "face") consisted of a specialized fabric, one that was actually two layers of fabric with viscous black and white fluids trapped between them. The fluids remained in constant motion, being affected by heat and pressure, however the black and white colors never combined to form gray. The patterns formed by the fluids also maintained a constant symmetrical pattern down the midline of whatever shape the fabric had been formed into.
Kovacs first discovered the fabric when he worked for a dressmaker. The fabric was originally made into a woman's dress and the marketing of such a product would be linked to Dr. Manhattan. The product's first customer was a woman named Kitty Genovese, who was unhappy with the dress, calling it "ugly" and refused to buy it. Kovacs thought differently however, and took possession of the fabric for himself, saying it was "very beautiful." At home he used heated instruments to shape the fabric into a full head covering, a face he "could look at in the mirror."
Curiosamente, há tinta termocromática que pode mudar sua aparência devido à exposição ao calor (da respiração do usuário), mas ainda não se espelhou ainda.
