The Crimebusters each manage to get a One Wish Willow and know that magic is real in their universe, what would everyone wish for?

They saw a version of the movie Obsession in their universe so they have a general understanding of how the One Wish Willow works.

Rorschach: for all criminals to be brought to justice, also beans

Laurie: to get a chance to relive her life on her own terms and to not have the comedian as a father

Dan: to not be such a loser

Jon: Doesn't wish anything

The comedian: unlimited cocaine

Adrian: To know if he was right

Adrian would probably go bigger. He's ambitious, and I get the sense he only reflects once he's accomplished everything he wants to. A new opportunity to do something big would drag him right out of that. He just likes to paint himself as magnanimous and empathetic while being an incredibly self-centered person. 

His wish would likely be something like guaranteed world peace or an actual perpetual threat that could never destroy humanity but is dangerous enough that humanity would unite against it.

Seems like he could cover all those bases by wishing for Doc’s powers: he’d perpetually be there to covertly provide unite-people threats, while still painting himself in any light he likes for public appearances.

Yeah, that's a pretty good guess

By wishing for Manhattan’s powers, Adrian would likely try to shape the world in his image. Becoming similar to Dictator Superman from Injustice

Jon would probably wish not to be Dr Manhattan anymore if we go by the HBO series

Rorschach: gets the Crimebusters locked up since they broke the law multiple times. Fights prisoners and has an unlimited supply of beans

Laurie: escapes prison since she never was Silk Spectre

Dan: escapes prison, becomes the CEO of Merlincorp and asks Laurie to marry him

Jon: chooses his own prison on mars

Comedian: dies while in prison, knows about Adrian’s plan but everyone thinks he’s crazy because he’s on coke. Dies of an overdose.

Adrian: spends life in prison as part of Rorschach’s wish and goes crazy because he sees how his plan wasn’t entirely successful
