* From [[Marvel Comics]]: The Watchers have an "observe, don't interfere" law in place (thus their species' [[Planet of Hats|name]]). Eventually revealed to be the result of accidentally destroying another species by giving its members advanced scientific knowledge way too soon. Uatu, the Watcher assigned to Earth, is notorious for breaking this clause, as he made the mistake of [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right| getting too fond of the inhabitants of the world he was told to watch.]] Naturally, the Watchers do not get along well with the Celestials, who do nothing ''but'' interfere with mortals.
** It is eventually revealed that both the Watchers and Celestials, as well as [[Horde of Alien Locusts|the Horde]] (whom ''both'' the Watchers and Celestials despise) are servants of a godlike being called the Fulcrum, who uses them to maintain the balance of the universe; the Celestials create life, The Horde destroys life and the Watchers record it all.
* In the ''[[Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire|Buck Godot Zap Gun for Hire]]'' comics, humans are forbidden from interfering with any race not advanced enough for space travel by [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Lord Thezmothete]], because [[Mega Corp]]s used to enslave such species.
** Also the Teleporter considered humans to be animals because they couldn't teleport, though he did indeed interfere.
