The Guardians of the Universe
From DC Animated Universe Wiki, the DCAU Database
The Guardians of the Universe are ancient, blue-skinned humanoids living on the planet Oa and masters of the Green Lantern Corps.
[edit] History
Prior to the creation of the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians created the Manhunter Robots to keep order throughout the universe. They soon discovered the Manhunters were unable to understand the differences between good and evil, so they assembled the Lantern Corps and reprogrammed the Manhunters for other duties.
Centuries later, the Guardians came under attack from the Manhunters, but with the help of the Justice League, they were able to repel the invasion.
[edit] Background information
The Guardians of the Universe are the male members of the Malthusans, possibly the olds sentient species in the DC universe. After one of their own, Krona, witnessed the Beginning of Time and introduced entropy into the Universe, the Male Malthusans became the Guardians and dedicated themselves to combating evil in the Universe, while their female counterparts became Zamorans. During their long history, the Guardians learned how to manipulate the collective embodiment of willpower, which is the energy used by the Lanterns. They were also responsible for splitting the Martians into two races and guiding Kal-El's ship to Earth. They also attempted an invasion of Apokolips, but were repulsed losing two-thirds of the invasion force.
