** Its implied that Veidt is homosexual and ArmouredClosetGay, so him using it as an excuse helps him to explain away not dating women. Since it appears that Adrian never left Karnak, no-one never explained it was alright to be open about it and he wouldn't be judged.

* The Minutemen being remade into the ''Watchmen''-equivalent of [[Series/TheBoys The Seven]] makes sense canonwise; in the comic Laurie's mother, the first Silk Spectre was basically a model looking for fame and recognition which is why she was a StageMom for her daughter's superhero career. Of course Captain Metropolis would recruit her and others of similar mind for a balanced team.

Added DiffLines:

* Veidt's inaccuracy about Alexander the Great, whom he modeled himself after, never being with a woman despite historically being married with children makes sense on two fronts:
** Veidt uses the word hedonistic when referring to sex, meaning he himself views Alexander's marriage as for political reasons and its a case of people misunderstanding his ExactWords.
** Its implied that Veidt is homosexual and ArmouredClosetGay, so him using it as an excuse helps him to explain away not dating women. Since it appears that Adrian never left Karnak, no-one never explained it was alright to be open about it and he wouldn't be judged.
