The Watcher

Template:Character Infobox

*"I am The Watcher. The Multiverse, every single world, every story are my home, and I will protect them to the end."*
―The Watcher[src]
**Uatu**, also known as the **Watcher**, is a fifth dimensional being who observed the Multiverse from the Nexus of All Realities. Along with his fellow race, The Watcher abided by an oath that prohibits him from interfering with events occurring within the realities he observed. This changed when an Infinity Stones-wielding Ultron sensed his presence and learned of the Multiverse, thus forcing him to violate this oath in order to protect the numerous timelines threatened by the omnicidal AI. Recruiting Captain Carter, Star-Lord, Doctor Strange, Erik Killmonger, Gamora, Thor and later Black Widow as the Guardians of the Multiverse, they were successful in preventing Ultron from advancing his devastation to much of the Multiverse.

## Biography

### New Watching

#### Drez-Lar Prophecy

*"The prophecy was so clear. It said the seed—this small vessel of great potential—would sprout from this very place. Spreading peace and joy through the seed is a metaphor, isn't it? Okay, this is what I get for skimming the prophecy. Go forth, you little seedling."*
―The Watcher[src]The Watcher found out about a prophecy about the last Seed of Drez-Lar, which was about to be collected by Groot. The Watcher narrated as Groot approached the seed. The Watcher was surprised as Groot not only evaded the traps but set them off out of humor and playfulness. However, there was one trap that set off lava, threatening to destroy the seed. As The Watcher hoped Groot would save the seed, he instead kicked his ball over towards the mural. The Watcher hoped that Groot would read the mural but was annoyed to find that Groot simply wanted to draw on it. Eventually, Groot left the mural, and The Watcher commented that at least Groot wasn't defacing it. However, to his horror, The Watcher listened as Groot began to urinate on a section of the temple, claiming that it was even worse.

The Watcher turned towards the seed as Groot approached it. Groot then started waving, to which the Watcher thought he could see him. However, Uatu soon realized that Groot was simply making shadow puppets. Soon, Groot sat down and napped, much to Uatu's annoyance. The Watcher's excitement finally grew as a "godly ray of light" was cast upon the seed. Groot followed it, only to pick up his ball and leave as the seed was destroyed. Uatu turned away, as he could not bear to watch the destruction of the temple. When the dust cleared, Uatu realized that it was all a metaphor for Groot, not the seed, as Groot got up from the rubble. He then blamed himself for skimming the prophecy. As Groot flew away on the *Benatar*, he waved at Uatu, confusing the Watcher.

## Personality

*"You lack the will to stop me."
"You cannot compute the power of my will."*
―Ultron and The Watcher[src]
Uatu takes his role as a Watcher seriously and does not interfere with what happens in the alternate universes within the Multiverse. The Watcher did not interfere when Peggy Carter became Captain Carter, when T'Challa became Star-Lord, when the Avengers were assassinated, when a Zombie outbreak was released, Erik Killmonger's personal war, or Thor's party in their respective universes. Most notably, when Strange Supreme ended up causing his universe's destruction, he begged the Watcher to save it, but instead the Watcher chastised Strange Supreme while telling him that he could not.

The Watcher does have some limits, though, on not intervening, as when Strange Supreme was absorbing more creatures for power, he considered intervening but reminded himself that he could not because of his oath. He also seemed pained that he couldn't show Hawkeye and Black Widow the way to defeat Ultron, saying it'd save many lives. At first, he showed little to no emotion towards the realities he was presenting, which Black Widow accused him of, but gradually began to show empathy towards those he observed, even admitting that the one Ultron eliminated all life broke his heart. He honestly admitted to Doctor Strange that if he could intervene and help, he would, and he cheered on Hawkeye, despite knowing he was not heard or seen. He admitted that he cares for the Multiverse and the stories, saying he'll protect them to the end. He was also a humble person, not seeing himself as a god at all.

However, when Ultron sensed him, he was shocked and horrified at the implication of Ultron escaping from his home universe to another. As the AI actively tracked him down, the Watcher slowly became more willing to intervene, eventually being forced to break his oath when he lost control of the Nexus of All Realities to Ultron, as seen when he asked Doctor Strange for help despite what the latter did to his own universe.

## Attributes

### Powers

*"The galaxy, to your eyes, a hundred billion points of light. But where you see light, I see worlds and the countless stories that fill them."*
―The Watcher[src]
* **Watcher Physiology** - Like all of his species, The Watcher is a cosmic being of immeasurable power, he possesses a wide variety of immense, seemingly godlike powers and abilities, making him one of the most powerful beings in the entire Multiverse. His power is only surpassed by that of Ultron empowered by all of the Infinity Stones.
	+ **Superhuman Strength** - The Watcher possesses extraordinary divine and immense levels of superhuman strength that is virtually incalculable and limitless, as he is able to carry, lift and exert billions of tons of force. He is numerous times stronger than any species in the Multiverse, being far stronger than any Kree, Asgardian, or Titan, equaled only by other members of his species, and is only surpassed by Ultron who has the power of six Infinity Stones.
	+ **Superhuman Durability** - The Watcher's body is extremely durable, numerous times more resistant to physical and energy damage than any species in the multiverse, far outclassing any Kree, Asgardian, Titan, and even Ego who is a Celestial, equaled only by other members of his species, thereby making him almost invulnerable and indestructible. He was able to withstand the energy blasts from the Infinity Stones, numerous hits from Ultron amplified by the power of the Infinity Stones, and falls from immense heights, all without any damage. During the battle with Ultron, when he and Ultron arrived in another universe, Ultron enlarged himself to a point where he managed to consume an entire galaxy, causing it to explode and completely destroying it, with The Watcher being the only survivor. In same battle after arriving in another universe, Ultron mercilessly beat The Watcher, the force of his punches causing them to transverse from one universe to another, destroying them in the process, which left him temporarily unconscious for a few seconds. By the time The Watcher regained his consciousness, Ultron focused all of the Infinity Stones' energy in his hand and attempt to crush his head, but The Watcher managed to resist long enough for him to break free and open a portal to escape, leaving with only minor injuries.
	+ **Superhuman Speed** - The Watcher can run and move at extreme speed, possibly faster than light speed, much faster than any being in the Multiverse. He was able to keep up with the speed of Ultron and sometimes even faster than him in battle, and is fast enough to block or dodge most of his attacks.
	+ **Superhuman Agility** - The Watcher is much more agile than any being in the Multiverse, with perfect agility, equilibrium, flexibility, dexterity, balance, and body coordination. He was able to dodge Ultron attacks agilely and sometimes even outmaneuver him in battle.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina** - The Watcher muscles produce no fatigue toxins during physical activity, far surpassing any being in the Multiverse. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time and without tiring at all. He was able to last much longer in a fight with Ultron compared with Captain Marvel.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes** - The Watcher can react and dodge objects traveling at extreme speeds, much quicker than any being in the Multiverse. He was able to dodge or avoid most of Ultron's attacks.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor** - The Watcher can quickly recover from injuries, his healing is much better than any being in the Multiverse. As after his fight with Ultron, the Watcher had sustained serious injuries, but by the time he visited Doctor Strange for help, he showed no signs of them.
	+ **Immortality** - The Watcher is immortal, being able to live forever, without dying due to old age or illnesses.
	+ **Flight** - The Watcher can fly at extreme speed, possibly faster than light speed. He can fly, glide and float through the air and vacuum of space without outside help.
	+ **Self-Sustenance** - The Watcher is capable of surviving in the vacuum of space unaided. He does not need air, and does not appear to need food, water, or sleep to survive.
	+ **Nigh-Omniscience** - The Watcher is aware and knows everything of all the existing universes in the Multiverse. However, the only thing he cannot predict is Ultron, as he was genuinely surprised by Ultron appearing in Thor's reality, and was shocked that Ultron was able to see him and later even break through the barriers of the Nexus of All Realities, which he deemed that it should not be possible. However, later he was able to foresee the Guardians would win against Ultron ultimately. This indicates that even though Ultron managed to surprise him at first, he was still able to know and see the future of Ultron correctly before the events being happened.
		- **Cosmic Awareness** - Uatu's cosmic awareness enables him to know almost anything which has happened in the main universe, which he uses to compare the realities he now looks over, however equally powerful beings like Doctor Strange Supreme and Infinity Ultron were able to shock him and catch him off-guard.

* **Genius-Level Intellect** - Thanks to his omniscience, The Watcher is able to pinpoint the moment in which a divergence in reality happens because he knows every detail of the initial event. He was also able to outsmart Ultron, despite his having all the Infinity Stones, which made him nigh omnipotent, as he formed a team that ultimately defeated Ultron.
* **Master Tactician** - The Watcher is a master strategist and tactical genius, being able to plan way ahead of events and execute them flawlessly, knowing exactly how they will unfold. He was able to choose all the right members to form the Guardians of the Multiverse, which have the perfect combination of skills and experience that alone will triumph, being able to battle against Ultron and ultimately win without any of the members dying. Even more than that, Doctor Strange in the end realized that the Watcher foresaw every moment on how the Guardians plan against Ultron would unfold successfully, from the failed Infinity Crusher to Killmonger's betrayal, and Strange's sacrifice.
* **Master Combatant** - The Watcher is a highly skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant with extensive knowledge of various forms of combat. He could match up with Ultron during a long fight.
