The Guardians of the Universe are a group of immortal Oans who organized and run the Green Lantern Corps. They have been trying to bring order to the universe for eons, with varying success.
The organization's roots start on the planet Maltus, and they were possibly the first intelligent life forms in the Universe. At this time they were tall greyish blue humanoids with black hair. In the early days of the universe, they were a war-filled race. Sometime later, they became scientists and thinkers, experimenting on the worlds around them. One experiment led to the creation of a new species, the Psions. In a pivotal moment, billions of years ago, a Maltusian named Krona used time-bending technology to observe the beginning of the Universe. This experiment flooded the beginning of the Universe with entropy causing it "to be born old."
Feeling responsible for this, some of the Maltusians relocated to the planet Oa (at "the center of the Universe") and became the Guardians of the Universe.[1] Their goal was simple: combat evil and create an orderly universe, and they acted quickly on that goal. During this period they also changed to their current appearance.
