Nascent Drama

They subsequently settled the planet Oa and declared themselves the Guardians of the Universe and enemies of evil after one of their own, the renegade Maltusian scientist Krona, performed a forbidden experiment that had terrible consequences for the universe at large.
 
Exactly what those consequences were have varied with different versions of the stories; originally, it was supposed to have unleashed evil in the first place.
 
Later, it was attributed to have created the Antimatter Universe of Qward.
 
Later still, it was used as the explanation for the existence of parallel universes in the DC Multiverse (and the creation of the Monitor), which eventually led to the rearrangement of Time itself, as seen in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
 
Finally, it has been stated that it accelerated entropy, shortening the duration of the universe by a billion years.
 
Some of the Guardians, however, disagreed on how to deal with the chaos that had been unleashed.
 
One group, calling itself the Controllers, separated itself from the others and favored using more violent methods to achieve their ends (a later interpretation says they left over a disagreement on how to use the Manhunters - see below).
 
They would later found the Darkstars organization.
 
The female Maltusians, feeling no need to involve themselves in the situation, also left, becoming later known as the Zamarons.
 
In their first attempt to enforce their will and guard against menaces of all sorts, about 3.5 billion years ago the Guardians created a legion of robotic sentinels called the Manhunters.
 
At first serving faithfully to enforce order, in time the Manhunters came to resent their servitude and the moral restrictions the guardians decreed of them.
 
They were also found to be inherently flawed due to their inability to recognize or feel emotions.
 
They rebelled against the Guardians and fought a millennia long war that culminated with an attack on the planet Oa.
 
The Guardians overcame their android servants, stripped them of their power and banished them across the universe.
 
Eventually, the surviving Manhunters formed their own robotic society and pursued their own interpretation of their original mission (which often included interfering with and foiling the plans of the Guardians).
 
In the Martian Manhunter series, the Guardians first get the idea for an intergalactic police force from the Martians' own Manhunters.
 
They offer the Martian race the opportunity to be that force.
 
They turn it down, but the Guardians take the name for the androids.
