—What If...? Vol 1 13

 I have often pondered the events that may have transpired if I had strictly followed the law of my brethren. Join me now as I witness the consequences had I simply abandoned Wolverine to one of the realms he journeyed through in my home--to an age undreamed of by man.

—What If...? Vol 1 52

 Everything has its season. In spring, the world brings forth blossoms. In cherry season, you get cherries. But a season has dawned over three hundred years early: A season of heroes and marvels.

—Eternals Vol 4 7

 You know that 'anomaly' you remarked upon recently? That electric pulse you sense more and more consistently? The pulse that seemed to be completely random at first, but now registers with every cycle? It is what the humans call a conscience. It is what recognizes and differentiates good from evil. It took me centuries to finally figure out what it was. It took me even longer to realize that the best thing to do was simply heed it. What will you do with free will? 

—Eternals Vol 4 9

 I am the Watcher. For centuries, my mission has been to watch and record humanity's history, seeing it evolve into the horribly wonderful race it has become. In recent times, I have watched colorfully costumed men and women with amazing abilities emerge to protect the helpless and innocent, pitting themselves against questionable individuals who would turn their equally astonishing talents against humanity. This is the story of these indivisuals. This is the story of these Marvels.

 The Black Hand of God.
Built from the severed hand of a celestial, it is home to the greatest and most gruesome fighting tournaments any universe has ever known.
Where galactic fortunes are won and lost by the tearing of flesh, the speed of the blade, or the mettle of a warrior's heart.
Here, champions are forged forever in blood and bone. Their names carved into the halls of eternity.
It is known by all who quest across the stars as the most violent, vicious and gore-soaked corner of hell to ever exist in the multiverse.
The popcorn is... also quite nice. 

—Hulk Vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha Vol 1 1

 Being of an immortal race, I have ever pondered what, if anything, comes after the event mortals call "death." Today, I may well learn. Whatever transpires, I will remain true to my charge, and observe all that occurs. A fitting end, I think, for the being known as--the Watcher. 

—Uatu (Earth-616)

Beast	Stop! Stop your lies right now! You-- you're filling my head with all of these-- these images, these impressions! All of these roads not taken... you're not convincing me that I've done anything wrong. I can't be held responsible for things I have no control over! This collage of all the good things that won't happen because of something I've done. I want my friends to have love. I want my friends to rise above their stature and become the mutant--
Uatu	I came here to tell you... because of you none of these things will ever happen. A myriad of realities you have destroyed, Dr. McCoy. You have guaranteed that the happiness and love and respect and adventure that you crave for your friends may never happen.
Beast	Then help me. Help me put it back. Help me.
Uatu	I am the Watcher. I do not act. And you disgust me, Hank McCoy.
Beast	But-- But it's not too late. I-- I can still make it right. I can still fix this. I just need--

Ikor	What if you were wrong? What if you, Uatu, had never interfered?
