The Uncreated claim that they did not evolve naturally, but were instead created by a powerful creature which they worshipped as a god. For a time, they lived peacefully and revered their creator, but eventually they became frustrated by its existence and superior power. Eventually they travelled into space, found a creature that they identified as their creator and killed it. They renamed themselves the Uncreated and convinced themselves that they had destroyed God. Discovering that many other species still worshipped, they set out to exterminate all religions.
Uncreated spaceships are highly advanced, comparable in power to those of the Shi'ar. Their warship designs emphasize superior firepower rather than armour or agility. The Uncreated also utilise advanced biological weapons: examples include a flesh-eating virus triggered by strong emotions and large spider-like creatures that can be programmed to exterminate all creatures with a specific genetic sequence.
After a small Uncreated ship crashed on Earth, the ship and surviving crew members were seized by the secret organisation Black Air
and taken to the base designated 'Dream Nails' for experimentation and investigation. When Excalibur
members Kitty Pryde
and Pete Wisdom
later broke into the base, Kitty encountered some of the Uncreated, who had already escaped. After explaining their history, they unsuccessfully tried to kill her. Shortly after this, the base was destroyed in an explosion and the Uncreated were presumably killed.
The Uncreated later launched a major assault on the Shi'ar empire, a war that ended when the Starjammers
became aware of the Uncreated's history and created a gigantic hologram of the Uncreated's creator. Faced with the seeming resurrection of their god, the Uncreated committed suicide.

U
Uncreated. Once called "the Works", the Uncreated are warlike and seek the extermination of all religions and religious species. Slightly larger and stronger than humans, they have claws and are covered with quills. Uncreated are capable of communicating with humans, but it is unclear whether this is through speech or some form of telepathy.The Uncreated claim that they did not evolve naturally, but were instead created by a powerful creature which they worshipped as a god. For a time, they lived peacefully and revered their creator, but eventually they became frustrated by its existence and superior power. Eventually they travelled into space, found a creature that they identified as their creator and killed it. They renamed themselves the Uncreated and convinced themselves that they had destroyed God. Discovering that many other species still worshipped, they set out to exterminate all religions.
Uncreated spaceships are highly advanced, comparable in power to those of the Shi'ar. Their warship designs emphasize superior firepower rather than armour or agility. The Uncreated also utilise advanced biological weapons: examples include a flesh-eating virus triggered by strong emotions and large spider-like creatures that can be programmed to exterminate all creatures with a specific genetic sequence.
