The Watchers are one of the oldest species in the universe and are committed to observing and compiling knowledge on all aspects of the universe. This policy of total non-interference came into existence due to a former, well-meant attempt by the Watchers to bestow advanced knowledge on the Prosilicans, who used the nuclear technology gained to create weapons and destroy themselves. When the Watchers returned to Prosilicus, the survivors blamed them for causing the catastrophe by giving the Prosilicans nuclear technology before they were ready for it. The Watchers then took a vow never to interfere with other civilizations. Despite this, the Watcher Uatu has revealed himself to the superhero The Watcher the Fantastic Fourtelling them of his race. He complimented Reed Richards and claimed he would go to a more distant part of the galaxy to observe humanity. He transported the Hulk there to get the Ultimate Machine, The Watcher contains all the information in the Universe. The Hulk battled the Amphibious Qnaxwho had also been sent to recover the machine. The Watcher transported them away from his machines to battle, and when the The Watcher won, he transported Qnax back to The Watcher homeworld. He then took the Hulk back to his base, where the Hulk took the Machine despite the Watcher's warnings. The Leader transported him The Watcher to Earth and tried to use the device. However, the tremendous amount of knowledge proved too much for the Leader. He collapsed to the ground, unmoving, and the Hulk assumed that he died of shock. The Watcher then transported the The Watcher Machine back to his planet.

When Nova briefly visits Uatu and witnesses him watching various alternate realities, he learns that Uatu's father was the Watcher who originally gave nuclear technology to the Prosilicans, with Uatu's search of parallel universes being motivated by the desire to find the one world where his father's act of charity was proved to be the right thing to do.
