HISTORY:
Little is known about Uatu the Guardian.
Prior to his descent into madness, Uatu was part of a
group of Guardians that administered the Starbrand Corps.
Uatu had apparently gone
insane, betraying the Corps, killing SINESTRO and framing HAL
JORDAN for the events. Disgraced
and disbarred, Jordan became a fugitive, the Corps scoured the
universe for him and one by one Uatu stalked and killed them
all. Uatu found a
drunken Jordan in Crime Alley, a section of Gotham City on
Earth.
The arrival of the Speed
Demon prevented Uatu from killing Jordan.
Armed with a knife composed of emerald energy Uatu faced
the Speed Demon but fell before the Demon's living hellfire.
Uatu was incinerated in moments.
Jordan's life was not spared by the Speed Demon either.
For his crimes, he too was enveloped in hellfire.
[SPEED DEMON # 1]
Uatu was revived at some
later point through unknown means.
Utilizing the Mother Cube, the quartet of heroes known as
the Challengers of the Fantastic cured Uatu's insanity during
the event known as the Final Onslaught.
Though Uatu chose
noninterference after regaining his sanity, he learned of a
threat so great that he chose to break his vow.
In gratitude for the assistance given him by the
Challengers of the Fantastic, Uatu warned them of the coming of
Galactiac.
An ancient synthesis of
mind and machine, Galactiac would travel from world to world to
drain the lifeblood of a planet and charge his energy-cells.
Galactiac would spare a section of each world which he
miniaturized for later study as he devoured the world.
While Ben
"Rocky" Grimm, Sue "Ace" Storm and Reed
"Prof" Richards were aided by the New Asgodian known
as the Silver Racer in a frontal assault against Galactiac, Uatu
sent Johnny "Red" Storm and Storm's miniature
stormtrooper clone inside Galactiac's mind.
Using Johnny's reflexes, the tiny hero was able to dodge
the many virtual deathtraps and ultimately nullify Galactiac's
central neural systems. Though
his body was immobilized and weakened, Galactiac was still able
to separate his head from the rest of his cybernetic form and
escape, vowing to return. Whether
or not Uatu will come to Earth's aid a second time has yet to be
seen.
