Read more about The Godlike Ones at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Comics What If, sometimes rendered as What If...?, is a comic book from Marvel Comics which was published in nine series (volumes). The narrative thread of each series is based on "the road not travelled". The characters and events in each series are treated as being independent from the mainstream continuity of the Marvel Universe. The stories of the inaugural series (1977–1984) feature the alien, Uatu the Watcher as a narrator. From the moon, Uatu, a member of an immortal race of "Watchers", observes both the Earth and alternate realities. Most What If stories begin with Uatu describing an event in the mainstream Marvel Universe, then introducing a point of divergence in that event and then describing the consequences of the divergence. Uatu was used similarly in the second series (1989–1998) until a point where, in the Fantastic Four comic book, Uatu was punished for destroying another Watcher. This made the use of Uatu improbable so the character was phased out to its last appearance in issue #76. Without a framing device, the stories themselves became the focus.
The Godlike Ones has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
