[3][2][1] The other Beyonders created a universea "womb-space"[1]to incubate this Beyonder. Each Cosmic Cube is a receptacle for energy that comes from their dimension. Strange finally tells Havok the final secret: this is not really the Beyonder. Then the Beyonder appeared. Owen Reece saw a newspaper story about his new approach, and started to get nervous. The Beyonder was driven into complete despair, and took to drinking. He also saved Elizabeth Twoyoungmen, then known as Talisman, from entrapment in an other-dimensional world. He disintegrated Warlock, Cypher, and Wolfsbane. The Defenders went further beyond into the White Hot Room and the Beyonder followed as he was caught in Loki's narrative arc. In the original Secret Wars storyline, he was the be-all and end-all of the Marvel universe that took human form to better understand the nature of human beings. For instance, they hired the Nuwali to conduct experiments in evolution in the Savage Land. As he matured, he discovered love. He tries to make Phoenix stop--but she will not. This is known as the second retcon. One such matter had to do with Power Pack. This doesn't mean that a higher class would always beat a lower class character. Even though Strange had seen so many mysteries and beings of power, and had "stood unafraid before Eternity himself," he recoiled at the sight of the Beyonder's true nature and power. He then has a sword fight with the Black Knight, during which the Knight stuck him square in the stomach with his sword. She was so much happier now, and it was all because of him--but pointedly, he understood, she loved him for what he had given her emotionally, and not because he was the overlord of the world. [28], Now the Beyonder's mood began to change. However, it can be inferred that her powers were more or less on the level of other sentient Cosmic Cubes like Kubik and the Shaper of Worlds, which are in essence limited omnipotents. They beat up the Beyonder, but he didn't mind because he liked learning from experiences like this. Thus, The Beyonder, once an immortal, omnipotent god, falls victim to his strange obsession with desire, purpose, and death. Where he existed he was everything and everything was him, in a sense he was like God before there was Genesis. He couldn't believe the people of Earth were still "hounding" him. Magneto agreed with her final choice, as he had earlier counselled mercy against the student who had tried to kill Xavier. In classic continuity, the thing that attracted his attention in both instances was the presence of the Molecule Man. His powers' applications are nearly endless. An example being when the Celestials lost to Beyonder; in the revised story line they wanted to observe his actions. Living in a self imposed exile for centuries, Druig led his secret . The Beyonder, however, just stood there staring at him. He thought that the action would teach her that she was a hero and not a killer, but she just felt used like a puppet, and once again the Beyonder failed in his role of helping others find their own path. Druig is a member of the genetically engineered Eternals, which came to Earth around 5000 BC. Doom uses his powers to force Spider-Man and the heros against a wall. The heros attempt to stop the assult and don't suceed until Iron Man fires a laser to knock the Lizard out. Cadwall ran amok in his new identity, and was opposed and defeated by various costumed adventurers. However, the Beyonder was dissatisfied with this and found neither pleasure in, nor a point to, the servitude of others when they were compelled through subterfuge to act like automatons. Unlike his creators who were content to observe, The Beyonder seeks to fulfill his desires and discover his purpose. But he could tell that soon he would have to make a decision. Slay your enemies and all you desire shall be yours! Doom, however, began to wrestle with his new limitless nature, and started to become unstable.

Thousands of years later, the Beyonders created the Fortisquians as agents to observe other worlds, including Max. His body had been destroyed in a battle with Terrax and the Silver Surfer, and he had transferred his mind to that of an onlooker.

[42], After his creator, Jim Shooter, left Marvel, writer-editor Tom DeFalco re-tooled the Beyonder, diminishing his power greatly: He was no longer nearly omnipotent, and several of the cosmic beings who were previously established to be below him in power were vastly upgraded in conjunction.[23][43][44][45]. He quickly pulled himself out of this dead end and changed his angle of thinking. Now, they had to fight, or die; they all meant less to him than an amoeba, other than perhaps Rachel, who he called a "starsoul." The Beyonder then returned to his original bar to do more drinking. She was found guilty and sentenced to the Kyln in Creche confinement. While Cloak and Dagger had in the past acted as judge, jury, and executioners for many drug dealers, they realized now that this was going too far, and that perhaps some of them might have reformed, if they had been given more mercy. The heroes argued over what to do: some thought they should kill him, while other could not stomach such a deed. He single-handedly defeated them, including the Juggernaut. The Beyonder simpily turns intangiable and proceeds to explain his plans to Spider-Man.

By overlapping two people's appearances, even if they are disguised, the Astrologer can determine if whether or not the two are the same person. However, he and Doom were, as Captain America said, "swatted back like flies!" [17] Following this, the Beyonder is recruited to be a professional wrestler and is nearly killed by Thing in a wrestling match. The Beyonder then left after using Parker's toilet. I also added scans and references. Galactus was left in a coma, and Doom gained Galactus' god-like powers, becoming largely omniscient and omnipotent. [12], His time as a Cosmic Cube was short-lived and he eventually returned to being the Beyonder. The Beyonder went out into space again, contemplating existence. The Beyonder tried to court Dazzler by zapping her around to a number of exotic places throughout space, but she reacted with anger and fear, not knowing who he was or what he was trying to do!

[31], Furious, the Beyonder now believed that he had no role in the universe at all, and decided that he would be happier if he destroyed the Multiverse so that he would be alone once more. The process of becoming a Cosmic Cube, then Kosmos and the Maker, then back to the Beyonder supposedly fixed him and matured him, though he admitted that he may always be a little broken. Impressed, the Beyonder appeared and asked what he should do with Kurse now. He then sent Doom and Klaw away, and disappeared himself, never to reappear again in this story. The Cosmic Cube retcon made the Beyonder and Molecule Man far less powerful than they were before. The Puma was enraged at this, and swore he would kill him. After discovering that the Maker was the Beyonder, Thanos came to see her, and in a deranged state, she destroyed a large portion of the Kyln. He learned about Havok and became obsessed with him, although he wasn't sure why: he just had a subconscious feeling that he need to find him.
