Kevin's Watch

Ah, I remember that now as well. Thanks!

(Man, this makes me want to dig my old comics out of storage.)

Me too!!

Broderick was awesome in those! And that battle between Drax and Cap, when their colliding, growing energy ball sort of became a thing of its own...

Heh, I really loved Drax!! Rather single-minded, back when he had a mind.

Anyway, the Beyonder was funny for a few sentences. IIRC: "I am the most powerful being I am aware of. If I wanted cows to have wings, they would. In fact, the reason cows don't have wings is because I do not want them to."

Everybody read that one-issue FF story, where Englehart does a halfway decent job of the impossible task of tying together ALL the loose ends, and turns Beyonder and Molecule Man into a cosmic cube? Always fun to see the Shaper of Worlds!

Thanos Quest was as good a cosmic story as has ever been!! "Reality, like all outside influences, has a minimal effect on my being. I always hold true to myself." The guy's all class! (Except for killing his mother and most of the rest of Titan's Eternals, that is...) The whole Inbetweener part was awesome!!

I love the thread title change!!!



I tried .... with a different thread!!

Wayfriend, didn't know your Beyonder pic was a link. Okay, finally read his bio and am duly impressed. Not being a big follower of Marvel Comics (never was), I'm not familiar with many of their characters. Everything seemed nice and "cosmic" until I got to this part:

The Beyonder then met an underworld figure named Vinnie, who, seeking to make use of the Beyonder's superhuman powers, became his guide to the world. Under Vinnie's influence the Beyonder sought wealth, pleasure, and power over others. The Beyonder further altered his physical appearance, giving himself black, curly hair; he maintained the form he now had for most of the rest of his existence on Earth.

Other Aliases: Frank

You cannot be serious. Are you sure this isn't a MAD parody of a superhero comic book? What am I supposed to make of this? A supreme "cosmos" unto himself who turns into a guy with curly black hair calling himself Frank? Frank??? What, Frank Stallone? Who becomes partners with some guy named Vinnie?? Who, Vinnie Barbarino?

Let's see: Vinnie Barbarino - played by John Travolta - who later starred in Stayin' Alive - which featured Frank Stallone singing "Far From Over"

So The Beyonder sings "Far From Over" while he's making his exit from our dimension? This cosmic connection is too lame and at the same time too frightening to contemplate.

The original Beyonder in Secret Wars I was pretty cool.
Just kinda an unknown supreme cosmic being.
The Secret Wars II Beyonder, that you described above, was pretty dumb.
