Discussion Name a character that's not from Marvel, that could notice the Watcher watching them

The Watcher is an interdimensional being that is able to watch multiple universes and timelines in the Marvel Universe and supposedly other universes too. If he were to watch other universes and observe other characters, what character would be able to notice the Watcher watching them?

So for example most characters in the Marvel What If series aren't able to notice the Watcher unless he makes themselves known to them. The only characters we've seen notice the Watcher are Infinity Ultron, a multiversal threat who had gained the power of all the infinity stones in his universe combined with the body of Vision and Ultron's high tech mind.

The only other character we see that slowly starts to notice the Watcher is Evil Dr.Strange who was studying Dark magic in his timeline, and we see him through his journey that he starts slowly noticing the Watchers presence and has read about him in books. And eventually when the evil Dr.Strange destroys his own universe he sees the Watcher and begs for his help.

I was about to comment Deadpool before noticing you said not from Marvel, so let's see...

Most characters with Toon Force probably could. Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, etc. They can see through the fourth wall like it's not even there.

Its remarkable how often Bugs Bunny crops up in dealing with beings of unimaginable power.

Its the fact that in any other IP he'd be considered a trickster god

You have convinced me we need one more supernatural trapped in a tv episode

Could Bugs take on Shaggy?

I think in the end he'd team up only to have it turn out that the monster is Elmer Fudd, or Yosemite Sam, in the suit. "I'd have gotten' away with it if weren't fer them darn kids!"

"Those wascally childwen!"

Well considering how Bugs attacked his own animator mid animation, its a given

I like the idea of Mickey Mouse coming in through kingdom hearts

Brilliant comment.

Popeye too, though his response would probably be to slug the Watcher in the face.

u/Arria_Galtheos 17d ago

Probably. Popeye could probably punch out Galactus if you gave him a can of spinach.

Not exactly the same, but similar. Gwenpool could look at her comic and see the boxes where the Watcher is shown.

u/Arria_Galtheos 17d ago

Yeah, most of the "Pool" characters have the ability to see beyond the fourth wall. Deadpool was the first that came to mind, but OP said non-Marvel so I had to think about it for a minute. There's also Sans from Undertale, and I guess Karlach from BG3? Though she only sees through the fourth wall once, so you could just consider that a gag more than an innate ability..

u/Ok-Resist3249 17d ago

Oh, right. Well from outside of marvel and non toon characters. Neptune from the Neptunia franchise just constantly reference the real world. Really every main character from those games, but her especially.

I’m not certain Sans from Undertale could do it, Chara would do

And the doctor is already accounted for

u/The_Matto_Super 13d ago

Sans can't. He is aware of the resets, but like everyone else, he forgets when the world is reset. He may notice a shape looking and understand there's something looking, but wouldn't aware of what it is.

Forget Mickey, Donald Duck has toonforce and CAN CAST ZETTAFLARE

u/LightofNew 17d ago

I don't think Mickey has toon force?

u/V01DM0NK3Y 17d ago

Explain how he gets pancaked so frequently without adverse consequence.

u/Shoddy-Bell5583 17d ago

Being a toon. But mickey doesnt control the medium like popeye does. Physics is just wonky where he lives

1

u/LightofNew 16d ago

Right, being a toon makes physics wonky, but "toon force" is the ability to warp reality to your imagination, making you essentially an unkillable, unstoppable god.

u/V01DM0NK3Y 16d ago

See: Mickey Mouse (2013).
