Uatu - or simply the Watcher as he became known - had his first recorded encounter with an Earthling in the year 1602 AD, when a possible-future Captain America was inadvertently sent back in time to that era causing ripples in the time-stream that threatened the very fabric of reality. His initial intentions were also to find a reality where his people did not make their grave error, however, to date, Uatu has yet to find such a reality. Not only did Uatu watch history on Earth, but also took an interest in viewing his chosen world in alternate universes. Uatu was assigned to the planet Earth and constructed a citadel on the Blue Area of Earth's moon. Eventually, the Watchers assigned themselves onto the moons of various inhabited worlds to observe activities there. This reinforced in Uatu's mind that his father was right, that they should leave things to fate. Uatu witnessed as the planet struck the cloud of atomic waste, destroying both. Uatu watched the mass of atomic waste for decades when one day he witnessed a supernova jettison a rogue planet into space. Thousands of years later, Uatu came across a situation that tested the vow of his people when he witnessed the Yrds disposing of atomic waste by jettisoning it into space, potentially threatening some other distant world with destruction. Now calling themselves the Watchers, they traveled the universe viewing everything they encountered. Ikor advised his son that no matter what, they should never interfere in the affairs of another alien world ever again. Uatu asked his father if their vow of non-interference would be a hindrance to races that were in serious danger. Uatu and his people meet with the ProsilicansĪfter the Prosilican incident, Ikor drafted a code of ethics based upon strict noninterference and passive observation. Uatu tried to convince Ikor, his father, that his deeds were noble, despite the outcome, but the words fell on deaf ears. Ashamed of their actions, the Watchers vowed never again to interfere in the affairs of other races. The Prosilicans accepted the gift, but used it to develop nuclear weapons and engaged in an auto-genocidal war. In their first such experiment, proposed by Ikor, a delegation of four brought atomic energy knowledge to the planet Prosilicus. 1.3 Revealing Himself to the Fantastic Fourīillions of years ago, the technologically-advanced extraterrestrial race known as the Watchers decided it was their duty to help the universe's less advanced races.
