Can Dr. Manhattan create a being with Superpowers

Since we know that he can create matter and it's strongly hinted that he can create life, could he create something close to or as powerful as himself. We know that he can reconstruct himself, so given some time and a little practice could he create something similar to himself. I'm also not referring to his ability to be in multiple places at the same time, this would need to be a new sentient life form.

In a sense we have already seen him do that every time he creates a duplicate of himself. It would be a small matter to create a new version of himself with a truly seperate mond.

Why doesn't he? two reasons- 

1-He's encouraged not to. The humans he deals with day-to-day are terrified of him and expend huge resources to keep him happy and on side. Two of him means more cost & a huge increase in the danger.

2-He doesn't care. From the moment he returned to life Ostrander has become more and more distant from humanity. He has very little interest in any kind of social interaction and only the discovery of "procreating" would be of interest. Maybe one day he will consider it.
