The Beyonder is an immensely powerful God-like being and one of the main antagonists of theMarvel Universe, serving as the main antagonist of the 1984Secret Wars comic event and it's sequelSecret Wars II.
The Beyonder's origins have been retconned over the years and are themselves left ambiguous and the true nature and origin of the Beyonder may never truly be known by any mere mortal. What is certain is that he is from an enigmatic higher-dimensional race of cosmic entities known as theBeyonders. The Beyonder was originally conceived as an omnipotent being from another dimension that exists beyond the Multiverse he was later retconned to be a rogue and child Cosmic Cube who was unaware of his true nature and caused havoc with his reality-warping powers: this new origin is not set in stone however
Secret Wars[]
The original tale introduces the Beyonder as a being encompassing the entirety of an alternate multiverse known as the Beyond Realm, which surpasses the vastness of the marvel multiverse. This realm's immense power is fortuitously stumbled upon by a scientist within the Marvel Universe, leading to a transformative experience that ultimately shapes them into the malevolent entity known as theMolecule Man.
Ultimately, the Beyonder's grand experiment on Battleworld becomes a captivating exploration of the eternal struggle between good and evil. As the battles ebb and flow, the Beyonder's insatiable curiosity remains unquenched, fueling its relentless quest for knowledge and understanding. The fate of Battleworld and the lives of the heroes and villains who inhabit it hang precariously in the balance, as the Beyonder continues to observe, analyze, and unravel the enigmatic dance between the forces of light and darkness. As the lingering energies of the Beyond begin to possess consciousness and develop a sense of wonder, they harness their immense power to give rise to a being known as the "Beyonder." This newly formed entity, driven by its insatiable curiosity, embarks on an extraordinary endeavor by crafting a wholly unique planet called Battleworld. This extraordinary realm is ingeniously fashioned by amalgamating fragments from various worlds, meticulously selected by the Beyonder. In this realm of Battleworld, a tapestry of epic clashes and unforeseen alliances begins to unfold. Heroes and villains, who were once bitter adversaries, find themselves forced to unite or confront one another in a relentless struggle for survival and dominance. The Beyonder, ever the omniscient observer, watches intently as the destinies of these superpowered beings intertwine and their moral compasses are tested to their very limits. The purpose behind this audacious act is none other than the Beyonder's insatiable desire to witness an eternal clash between the forces of good and evil. By pitting these iconic figures against one another, the Beyonder intends to meticulously observe and analyze the unending struggle that ensues. The battles that unfold within Battleworld become a captivating spectacle for the Beyonder, as it seeks to unravel the intricacies of the eternal conflict that pervades the realms of morality. However, the Beyonder's ambitions do not end there. With an insidious plan in mind, this enigmatic being proceeds to abduct a multitude of formidable heroes and notorious villains from the Marvel universe's Earth. These individuals, plucked from their familiar surroundings, are then thrust into the unfamiliar and treacherous realm of Battleworld. As the battles rage on, the Beyonder delves deeper into the complexities of human nature, seeking to understand the motivations, desires, and fears that drive these extraordinary beings. The cosmic entity marvels at the sheer diversity of perspectives, ideologies, and personal convictions that the heroes and villains embody, and how these differences manifest in their actions on Battleworld. Through this grand experiment, the Beyonder aims to gain profound insights into the nature of righteousness and malevolence. By observing the heroes' unwavering determination to uphold justice and the villains' relentless pursuit of chaos and destruction, the Beyonder hopes to unlock the mysteries that lie within the human psyche and the cosmic balance between good and evil.
The individual known as the "Beyonder" never chose to identify himself by that particular name when engaging in communication with those he held captive. Interestingly, it wasGalactus, the formidable entity with an insatiable appetite for worlds, who initially bestowed this moniker upon him. Galactus became intrigued by the immense and potent energies that the Beyonder possessed, perceiving them as a potential feast for his eternal hunger. This curiosity led Galactus to launch an audacious assault on the Beyonder's realm, joining forces withDoctor Doom, who also sought to harness the Beyonder's extraordinary power but for entirely different motives and aspirations.
Despite Galactus' immense power, he is unable to defeat the Beyonder, resulting in both Galactus and Dr. Doom being expelled from the Beyonder's domain. However, Dr. Doom's thirst for power leads him to acquire knowledge that enables him to harness the energies of Galactus' Worldship and the Beyonder. Utilizing these incredible powers, Dr. Doom constructs a towering golden structure that spans an impressive 200 miles, renouncing his villainous ways. Instead, he devotes himself to a noble cause, striving to rescue his mother from the clutches of the malevolent demon,Mephisto. In a twist of events, the Beyonder's intelligence takes control of the wicked Klaw and cunningly influences Doom into unknowingly squandering his formidable powers in battles against countless superheroes. This devious maneuver manages to divert Doom's attention for a significant period, ultimately allowing the Beyonder to regain full control over his immense abilities once again.
Secret Wars II[]
Realizing the gravity of Boom Boom's distress, the Beyonder agrees to return to Earth. However, fearing the potential danger that awaits them, Boom Boom seeks out the Avengers to warn them about the Beyonder's presence. Together, they devise a plan to ambush the Beyonder, enlisting the help of the Fantastic Four and other superheroes. Despite his godlike powers and the ability to easily overpower his adversaries, the Beyonder surprisingly allows himself to be defeated by the collective force of the Avengers and their allies. This unexpected turn of events is driven by the bond that has formed between the Beyonder and Boom Boom, leading him to view her as a trusted friend. While traveling on a train to New York, the Beyonder unexpectedly encounters the mutant known as Boom Boom. Intrigued by her abilities, he decides to bring her to the Xavier Institute. However, their arrival is met with immediate aggression from both the X-Men and the New Mutants, who attack the Beyonder without hesitation. Overwhelmed and frightened by this unexpected hostility, Boom Boom pleads with the Beyonder to take them somewhere safe. In an effort to escape the chaos, the Beyonder transports them to a world inhabited by the powerful Celestials. Sensing the immense power of these beings, he devises a plan to challenge and defeat them, threatening to obliterate the entire universe if necessary. Amidst this turmoil, Boom Boom realizes the severity of the situation and desperately pleads for the Beyonder to return them to Earth.
However, the Beyonder eventually made a decision to assist humanity by removing Death from existence. However, he quickly realized that life could not function properly without the concept of death and vice versa. In the midst of this enormous cosmic event, Mephisto, a powerful villain, brought together numerous supervillains to launch an attack on the Beyonder. Their goal was to seize his power and win the approval of Death.
In a moment of desperation, the Beyonder found himself entangled in a fierce battle against the formidable Puma. Filled with a sense of purpose, the Beyonder believed that his sole mission was to assist Puma in finding his own identity by allowing him to vanquish the Beyonder himself. In a display of unimaginable power, the Beyonder bestowed upon Puma an amplified strength, multiplying his capabilities tenfold. It seemed as though the Beyonder was even willing to sacrifice his own life, permitting Puma to deliver the final blow. However, just as the pivotal moment approached, Spider-Man inadvertently uttered a thoughtless comment, exposing the Beyonder's manipulative nature. This unexpected revelation caused a wave of disillusionment to wash over Puma, extinguishing his determination to end the Beyonder's existence. In this twist of fate, the Beyonder managed to survive, narrowly escaping the clutches of impending doom.
Shortly after, the Beyonder comes to the realization that all his attempts to enhance the universe have been in vain, leading him to contemplate its destruction. His first step in this endeavor involves eliminating the New Mutants, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the powerful Phoenix entity.
However, in a prime illustration of the Beyonder's consistent struggle to maintain his attention on a singular objective, he experiences a change of heart and reevaluates his previous course of action. Instead of proceeding with his initial plan to annihilate the entirety of the universe, he opts to revive the New Mutants, recognizing that he can fashion a mortal vessel capable of containing his omnipotent abilities. Remarkably close to achieving the creation of his divine offspring, he meets an untimely demise at the hands of Molecule Man, preventing him from accomplishing his intended goal. As a result, his boundless power is returned to the "Beyond" and precipitates a colossal cosmic event, known as the Big Bang, which in turn serves as the catalyst for the genesis of an entirely new universe.
Truth Revealed?[]
Based on recent revelations and the supposed "evidence" presented in Secret Wars III, it has been suggested that the events mentioned earlier were not entirely genuine. Instead, it is proposed that the Beyonder, a being of immense power, possessed the ability to manipulate reality similar toJim Jaspers. It is believed that the cosmic entities involved in these events willingly participated in the Beyonder's plans, hoping to observe his development and nurture the tremendous power he possessed. However, it is important to note that this new explanation of the Beyonder's origins has sparked controversy and remains uncertain in terms of its factual validity. Marvel's official statement on the matter currently asserts that the Beyonder is a renegadeCosmic Cube.
Other Media[]
Spider-Man: The Animated Series[]
The Beyonder appears in Spider-Man, voiced by Earl Boen. This version is an associate of Madame Web. In the three-part episode "Secret Wars", the Beyonder teleportsDoctor Octopus,Doctor Doom,Alistair Smythe, the Lizard, and theRed Skull to a peaceful alien planet and accelerates time until after the supervillains conquered it to prepare Spider-Man for the Chosen One's role.

Amidst their conflict, Doom learns about the Beyonder and steals his powers, but is defeated by Spider-Man and the Thing. Beyonder declares the former the winner and sends everyone else back to Earth with no memory of the battle. In the two-part series finale "Spider Wars", the Beyonder and Madame Web assemble Spider-Men from across the multiverse and task them with defeatingSpider-Carnage before he destroys all of reality. While they succeed, the Beyonder is forced to return to his world after teleportingMan-Spider back to his universe when he threatens the mission.
The Beyonder appears in Avengers: Secret Wars, voiced by Steven Weber. He assembled Battleworld out of other worlds as part of his experiment. In the episode "Beyond", he recreates Avengers Tower for the Avengers and New Avengers to use as a base as he tells them that they are on Battleworld as part of his experiment. He even tells Hulk not to dare attack him or else. In the episode "Underworld," Beyonder confronts Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Loki after their journey into the NYC Underworld as Hulk lunges towards him. Beyonder demonstrates his abilities by splitting the Hulk and Bruce Banner apart before sending them to the other parts of Battleworld. Beyonder then tells Iron Man, Thor, and Loki to stick to being part of his experiment or else they'll get what Hulk got. Later on, the Avengers split into two groups to defeat Beyonder and his forces. He tries to kill Dr. Jane Foster by sinking her but with Thor's hammer, she becomes Lady Thor and defeats Beyonder Once and For all.
Ultimate Power: The Beyonder is a cosmic entity that exists beyond the limitations of dimensions, making it infinite in nature. Initially, it was depicted as the ultimate powerhouse within the Marvel Comics multiverse, possessing unparalleled power and authority. It was considered the absolute ruler of the "Beyond Realm," surpassing all others in its dominion. According to the narration, his power was so immense that it exceeded the combined power of the entire multiverse by millions of times. It emphasized that a regular universe was insignificantly small in comparison to the vastness of the Beyond Realm, likening it to a mere drop of water in an ocean. When the Beyonder was extracted from Kosmos by the Molecule Man, their battle unfolded in more than three spatial dimensions and posed a grave threat to the entire multiverse. In her 'Maker' form, Kosmos possessed the ability to reverse The Crunch, which would essentially collapse the entire universe. However, it is important to note that the Beyonder's level of power was still deemed inferior to that of the Living Tribunal, Eternity, the Celestials, or the Molecule Man when he was free from his emotional weaknesses.
Strength: The Beyonder has immeasurable unimaginable strength by default which is very rarely shown due to his nature but is amongst the strongest beings in the Marvel Multiverse. The Beyonder displayed immense power when he easily repelled Galactus, comparing the act to squashing a bug. In fact, he even surpassed the energy collected by Galactus' World-Ship.
Human Form: In an attempt to gain a deeper comprehension of humanity, the Beyonder assumed a human form, allowing it to closely observe and explore the intricacies of human existence.
Cosmic Annihilation: The Beyonder is able to instantly kill beings of immense power at will as seen with the abstract being known as Death throughout the vast expanse of the multiverse.
Reviving: The Beyonder was then able to instantly resurrect Death.
Banishing: Even when weakened, the Beyonder effortlessly banishes a multitude of demons back to the depths of Hell with a mere gesture of his hand.
Energy Absorption: The Beyonder can absorb both the energy he gave beings and other power sources into himself.
Reality Powers: Post-retcons, the Beyonder has extraordinary abilities to reshape and control the fundamental aspects of existence, granting him unparalleled dominion over matter, energy, and the very fabric of reality itself. These powers were so formidable that they transcended the capabilities of all but the mightiest and most influential cosmic beings in the universe.
Galactic Reformation: During the first Secret Wars, the Beyonder casually destroys an entire galaxy to fulfill his desires, and later goes on to create a whole universe from his own being.
Weaknesses[]
Power Overuse: Although the Beyonder rather easily killed Death, this extraordinary feat greatly drained and debilitated him.
Overwhelming Energy: When Rachel Summers returns the vast powers he granted her, along with the collective consciousness of all beings in the universe, the Beyonder crumbles to the ground, unable to bear its weight.
Equal Power: The Beyonder has beings capable of killing him or at least weaken him greatly. During his confrontation with the Molecule Man, the Beyonder seemed to be hindered and slowed down in battle. There have been occasions where he has either partially or completely lost his powers, some of which were orchestrated by his own actions. In fact, he himself admitted that the Puma, when in perfect harmony with the Universe, possessed the ability to potentially kill him.
Arsenal[]
Fists: The Beyonder never truly uses any weapons of any kind due to the nature of his immense powers but he can use his fists to annihilate the enemy.
