Greetings, I am Uatu, the Watcher. My people have watched the
events of countless worlds, eons before the formation of your solar system.
We not only see the events of the present reality but those same events in
other realities, what is happening now and what might have been. I have
recalled many scenarios involving a number of Earth's heroes, where pivotal
events might have gone the other way or differently, thus creating
alternate timelines, for the better or for the worse. Many have posed the
question "What If...?" and I have retold such stories time and again.
Indeed, this is a story involving heroes who do exist in this reality, but
in a different timeline. Nevertheless, they still play their parts in
events both terrible and exciting. There are many stories that I could
tell you that involve these characters in both monumental and climatic
situations.
But this is not one of those stories.
The heroes of who I speak are the X-Men, humans with mutations that give them special powers that they use to protect the Earth from other mutants who would otherwise use their abilities to destroy or conquer it. The X-Men in this world are only teenagers who are just discovering their gifts under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, who is still pursuing his dream of human-mutant unity. These young mutants must still face the wrath of villains such as Magneto, The Brotherhood and Apocalypse. Despite their tender ages they have fought valiantly against such forces and have protected humanity. I can recall many stories about that.
But again, this is not one of those stories.
I understand your concern. How good could this story be? Let me be honest. I'm a Watcher. I see EVERYTHING. Even if I don't want to, I'm seeing it. Every mundane action, event, that goes on in your life, I'm watching it. Imagine watching a television show where you the person is sitting and reading a book and that's all they do for the entire show. Boring? Depressing? Dull? You bet it is! Believe me. Every three hour lecture at a college, every bad movie, every making of a bad movie, every stupid conversation, you name it, I'm watching it. I see everyone go the bathroom, in different realities no less. And no matter how many times I see it, I wish I wasn't.
But don't despair, this story isn't that bad. Not a lot of action or violence. No sex (but a lot of innuendo). Trust me; it's good, sort of. Not every story has to be life and death, end of the universe sort of thing. It gets a little redundant. Well, for me, everything gets redundant. Well it doesn't have to for you. It's the least I can do. Give me the benefit of the doubt, I am the Watcher. And now, on with our story.
