History
The Creators were a secretive cult of magic users that operate on Earth. This league of sorcerers came from various time periods with some of them coming from at least as far back as the Pre-Cataclysmic era. Backed by the power of the In-Betweener, the Creators temporarily took control of the universe by transforming themselves into stars in an attempt to control the entire universe, and forcing the real stars into human forms. (Doctor Strange v2 #27)
Within the last century, the Caretakers became concerned that mankind seemed to have entered a decline in which his societies were crumbling and the people had placed their most potent weapons in the hands of leaders who cared more for wealth and power than for their fellow beings. Having allegedly discovered that they were dying, the Caretakers had undertaken Project: Second Genesis in order to create a race of supermen that they called the Children of the Comet. The Caretakers intended for this super-race to join with man in order to carry on their work. However, they were opposed by the sorcerer Daemond who believed that man's future lay with the dark forces of the supernatural. (Fear v1 #21)
The Caretakers later teleported themselves to Daemond's base and, while their clonal agents battled the cultists, the Caretakers themselves fought Daemond. Eventually, after both sets of minions had annihilated each other, the Caretakers and Daemond realized that Morbius had disappeared and knew that only the girl Tara, the flawed prototype for the Children of the Comet, could be responsible. Fearing her power, the Caretakers and Daemond agreed to a truce and they all teleported to the base of the Caretakers. Once there, Tara claimed that Daemond was actually a fourth Caretaker and that she had created his identity as Daemond the Sorcerer for her own ends but both he and the Caretakers rejected this claim and attacked her. Tara responded by using her powers to animate the three unborn Children of the Comet and send them to kill both the Caretakers and Daemond. At the same time, Tara, knowing that the entire world would have to die if she were to survive, provoked Morbius into attacking and fatally draining her of all her blood. Her death throes somehow caused the base to be destroyed. (Fear v1 #26)
They sent Xander to attack Doctor Strange after having manipulated the Ancient One into stripping the title of Sorcerer Supreme from him. (Doctor Strange v2 #19)

Notes
- The Creators were created by Marv Wolfman and Alfredo Alcala where they made their first appearance in Doctor Strange v2 #19 (October, 1976).
- In Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #26, Stephen Strange was shown reading a chapter from the Book of the Vishanti that dealt with the origin of werewolves. Written by an unknown author, this chapter recounted how Greysire, a werewolf in wolf form, often told other wolves the story of how the Brethren that what they called werewolves had been created ten thousand years ago by three Genelords of Arcturus who had fled to Earth after war broke out on Arcturus IV. After arriving on Earth, they soon decided to improve man by creating a new and superior people, and used the 'seed' from a wolf to do so.
