Who Watches The Watchers? Dan Slott does! Slott is leaving the Incredible 4 after four-and-a-bit years, and is altering the Marvel Universe on his approach out and perhaps, simply perhaps, that may contain his continued rewriting and reconceptualising the historical past of The Watchers. First, he modified the house planet and species of the Watchers, tying them in with one other Marvel Universe race.
The Watchers are usually not from the planet T-37X as initially believed. As an alternative, they’re the Luminous from the planet Lumina.
As seen in Shogun Warriors again in 1978. They fought the Followers of Darkness within the Nice Chaos Wars, leaving a couple of behind on Earth dubbed the Followers of the Gentle to behave as sentinels towards the return of the Darkness. I am certain it is on Marvel Limitless. If not will probably be very quickly. And now, it appears, all a part of Watcher lore.
Whereas within the Incredible 4: The Reckoning Battle Alpha One Shot we obtained a flashback to the sixties’ origin of The Watchers, interfering with the lives of lesser, extra primitive races, handing them the data of nuclear energy.
Though it’s “presents” somewhat than the precise “nuclear power” from the unique. Properly, that was the sixties, all the things was radioactive.
The identical planet although, Proscilious. And it nonetheless ends badly,
And the identical horrible outcomes as earlier than – at the least initially.
However somewhat than continent to continent, within the new model instructed as we speak, it goes far past Proscilious, throughout the cosmos.
They usually get the title, The Reckoning. With The Watchers pressured to behave.
Within the authentic it’s saved simply to their planet and the Watchers are held to account by the Proscilians.
And so the Watchers make their vow of non-interference. This time although, the specter of the Proscilians, The Reckoning, is simply placed on pause…
And The Reckoning Battle appears to point that they’ve escaped that barrier. And in as we speak’s Incredible 4 #44, there may be extra rewriting to be achieved. It wasn’t The Reckoning who inflicted all that dying and destruction on the universe…
However the Watchers themselves., Emnu who had initially voted towards data being shared, and the one who ended the conflict, by inventing the Final Nullifier.
The last word harmful weapon that Uatu, The Watcher, in his first appearances from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, instructed the Incredible 4 about to defeat Galactus in a match of mutually assured destruction. Discovered within the dwelling of Galactus, Taa II, saved by Galactus in a shrine to his dwelling planet from one other iteration of actuality.
However who constructed the Final Nullifier, we didn’t know. At on level, Galactus claimed that it was even part of him.
At the same time as Reed Richards obtained to have one other go along with it.
Properly, now we all know extra, and we all know it worn out nine-tenths of life by the hands of the Watchers. So how do they address that information?
Not too properly. And because the Silver Surfer returns to the fray, and Galactus is reworked into his last kind, so the Final Nullifier is again in play as properly.
And as ever, it’s Reed Richards who will get to make use of it.
Â
Final time it gave us a Rebirth. However solely DC Comics will get to do this now. What is going to Dan Slott do to Marvel on his approach out?
