The Externals Also known as The High lords are a group of fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The original, unused name for the group was to be The Prophets, as seen on the back of the Sunspot & Gideon trading card included with X-Force #1. The characters first appeared in X-Force #10 (May 1992).
