Original Sin is a 2014 comic book storyline published by Marvel Comics. The story features Nick Fury and the Avengers investigating the murder of Uatu the Watcher, only to suffer trauma from what they see in his eye. They also come into conflict with a group of misled self-appointed investigators led by Black Panther and Punisher.
Writer Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato conceived the "Original Sin" storyline as one in which different heroes working together in different investigations to find out who murdered Uatu the Watcher.
Sam Alexander goes for another day of training with Uatu the Watcher at the Watcher's moon base. Stumbling around the place, he ends up finding Uatu's weapons storage. Sam asks about it and Uatu tells him the origin story of the Watchers. He even shows Sam what he watches in the Multiverse, using his Nova helmet. Sam also learns that Uatu's father was the Watcher who originally gave nuclear technology to the Prosilicans, with Uatu's search of parallel universes being motivated by the desire to find the one world where his father's act of charity was proved to be the right thing to do. Then Uatu reveals that Jesse Alexander is alive.
Later on the Moon, Uatu realizes something big is going to happen to him. Though scared, he confronts his soon-to-be-killer and tells him "I see you." With that, his base explodes. On Earth, Captain America, Wolverine, Black Widow, and Nick Fury are contacted by a panicked Thor. The group journeys to the Moon, where they discover Uatu dead, killed by gunshots to the head, his eyes missing. They deduce that the killer was a professional, and that they stole Uatu's equipment.
