All comic books for this one; 1 was Umbra in the first reboot of the LSH, though in other versions she went by the alias Shadow Lass. 2 was Uatu, more commonly referred to as “the Watcher”, and finally the last was intended to be the X-Men villain Unus the Untouchable, though if you’re aware of an Ultraman with that power let me know.

I remember The Watcher lived on the moon, but forgot his name was Uatu. I remember Unus now, but it’s been centuries since I read X-men.
