I am Uatu the watcher. This earth has produced heroes the like of which are seldom found. Many times, have I seen these humans pit themselves against forces beyond their ken and come out the better. And so, I watch.

I am the emporor of the galaxy. A galaxy that has produced such fools as are rarely seen. Many times I've seen them attempt to assert their significance, only to fall before the power of the dark side. And so, I scheme.

These great heroes are unaware of the great danger before them. They have fought Galactus himself to a standstill, yet, the disturbance I sense has more guile than any force they have yet to encounter. They must be wary.

The foolish rebels have no idea what I have in store for them. They may have destroyed my Death Star, but the force is more powerful than even that grand battle station. I hope they celebrate while they can, the unwary fools.

A force draws them away from this world. I have taken an oath not to interfere, but I can still contact my brethren the Whills of my charge's plight. As always, a crossroads loom, but which path will they take?

I will draw the force from a world parallel. I will manipulate it to serve me and so grow to be more powerful than the Whills of legend. As always, a crossroad has opened up ahead of me, and I will choose the powerful path of the dark side.

A portal has opened. Earths mightiest heroes are drawn in.

The portal opens! I have drawn in the warriors.

I must save them and find a way for them to return home.

I must slay them and meld their energies into my own.

The time is nigh, when the fate of a universe will be decided!

The time is nigh, when the fate of my universe will be assured!

I wish Spider-man would take this just a little more seriously.

ALONG TIME AGO… IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY…
