	Uatu the Watcher - Marvel Universe: The definitive online source for Marvel super hero bios.
		Billions 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.
		Based on the Watcher Otmu's theory that even observation affected others, the "Oblivion Plague" caused many Watchers to end their existences; though perpetuated by Maelstrom, the Plague was ended when Quasar convinced the Watchers that they must continue to observe so they could pass on their accumulated recordings to the next universe.
		Eventually reinstated into the Watchers, Uatu witnessed the temporary demise of Galactus, who was destroyed by an intergalactic alliance of heroes led by the Silver Surfer near the Shi'ar homeworld.

	Watchers
		Watchers are telepathic, able to scan the mind of virtually every known form of sentient life and to project their thoughts into any brain.
		Watchers are seemingly immortal (although degrees of maturity are evident), having bolstered the limits of their life forces with "delta-rays." Presumably an explosion that dispersed all of their bodily molecules thousands of miles would prove fatal.
		The Watcher named Ikor, stated that it was their race's duty to help other races, although the Tribunal's leader, Emnu, argued that the Watchers owed nothing to races that he did not regard as their equals.

	Watcher (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Watchers were among the first intelligent species in the universe, developing a high level of technology millions or even billions of years before nearly all other species.
		The Watchers, believing that their knowledge belongs to the universe, came to the planet Prosilicus, interfering in the evolutionary and technological development of a younger species.
		Watchers also have the apparent ability to break the Fourth Wall; the Watchers typically hold discourse not with an unseen party, nor with themselves, but rather, they relate their stories directly to the readers of the Comic themselves.

	Marvel Comics - Marvel Universe - A Wikia wiki
		Marvel Comics was founded by established pulp-magazine publisher Martin Goodman in 1939 as an eventual group of subsidiary companies under the umbrella name Timely Comics.
		Marvel was pioneering new methods of comics storytelling and characterization, addressing more serious themes, and in the process keeping and attracting readers in their teens and beyond.
		However, the industry's self-censorship board, the Comics Code Authority, refused to approve the story because of the presence of narcotics, deeming the context of the story irrelevant.

	Welcome to Cosmic Comics and Toys - Silver Surfer
		When Galactus expresses his complete indifference to the race inhabiting the planet he is about to consume, refusing to be delayed further by the foolishness of his own creation, the Surfer vainly attempts to force the hand of Galactus, though his is completely outmatched from the beginning.
		Due to the style and power of Kirby’s work, Lee saw the potential nobility of such a character and realized this would be a conduit to express a lot of philosophical concepts of life on earth and the human condition.
		The Watchers returned to find their newfound friends gone, destroyed by the knowledge brought to them by the Watchers.

		Blair’s ability to understand the interconnectivity that leads to violence is heightened when the think-tank’s paranormal research division uncovers a gem within the contents of a subversive cell (working for Rughal).
		When Blair comes into contact with the gem, he becomes The Watcher, with the superhuman ability of heightened awareness, from a sensory standpoint, but also with an intuitive awareness of non-organic matter around him.
		He can tell if a person is lying from a block away by the sound of their heartbeat or the incremental increase of their perspiration, but he can also tell when an old rusted-through underground water pipe is about to burst.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Watcher
		Iron Man was the title's featured character at the time, and The Watcher a mere filler.
		In 1977, The Watcher reprised his role as narrator in What If?, a series that explored turning points in Marvel Universe continuity, extrapolating what might have happened if things had gone a little differently.
		The Watcher is still kicking around (at least to the extent that he kicks), and occasionally turns up as a guest star (if "star" isn't too strong a word) with various Marvel characters.

		From the opening sequence, the mood is set with the snarky Uatu, the Watcher, peeking into a woman's bedroom.
		He confesses to readers that he's never seen anything so pathetic as the purchase of this comic, and he should know, he was there for Crossgen.
		This isn't a book for those that take their comics seriously, but for anyone that ever needed proof that Marvelites have a sense of humor about their profession will definitely want to check this sketch-comedy compellation out.

	The SF Site: Sequential Art
		What you're looking at is a compilation of one week's worth of comics, selected variably, listed alphabetically, and sorted by week of release.
		Interspersed between the straightforward bits are a handful of abstract panels that range from morbidly comic to powerful noir sequences, revealing Conrad's dexterous artistic and narrative range.
		The line work consists of simple fl inks on white in single panels running four pages each, but varies stylistically from thick surreal sketches, to a minimalist alternative look, to cartoony bits that wouldn't be out of place in the dailies.

	POTU Spotlight #6: Quasar and Oera the Watcher
		Yet in the final moments of what she had referred to in her tomes as the Sirus X Affair, the ageless Watcher felt final understanding dawning upon her at last.
		It was a question she had pondered over for some time, never coming to a satisfactory answer in the past, she merely pressed the matter in the dark recesses of her psyche to be pondered — unsatisfactorily no doubt — at a later date.
		Oera the Watcher, too, quickly masked her presence, before any party took note of her being, she did not wish her presence around Sirus X in any way to affect change in the current course of events, for ill or not.

	Global Comics Network: Eric's Newsletter Vol 6 #5
		At any rate, the comic is back and this time they're telling me that there won't be any LSD-induced acid trips about Firestorm becoming a burly woods-loving people-hating fire elemental or anything like that, and to that, I say --- good.
		There are a lot of strange comics out there in the comic universe, and I must admit that Spyboy is certainly one of them.
		So, I know that it looks like a big month for comics but just remember that once you take it out all the X-titles, there are actually only two new titles in all of comicdom this month.

	Movie Poop Shoot - COMICS 101
		But the Watcher’s efforts were for naught, as Galactus’ advance scout, the Silver Surfer, easily darts through the floating rubble and lands atop the Baxter Building, the FF’s skyscraper headquarters.
		So while the Watcher is unlocking Galactus’ screen door for the Torch, Reed, Sue and Ben just manage to hold off Galactus until the arrival of the Surfer, who has resolved to stop his master from destroying the Earth, and begs him to reconsider.
		Galactus practically wets himself at the sight of the Nullifier in Reed Richards’ rubbery mitts, and quickly agrees to spare Earth in exchange for the return of the weapon (after giving the Watcher a good case of the stinkeye, that is).

		The Nullifier could be used by a single entity only once, however, since the act of nullification destroyed the wielder as well as the target.
