The Beyonders are a fictional higher-dimensional race appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They live outside the Marvel Multiverse and are responsible for the Multiverse's destruction during Jonathan Hickman's Avengers (2012), New Avengers (2013), and Secret Wars (2015) saga.

Publication history

[edit]

The Beyonders were first mentioned in the team-up comic Marvel Two-in-One #63 (May 1980), by Mark Gruenwald and Jerry Bingham.

The Beyonders received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 #1. They also received an entry in Secret Wars Official Guide to the Marvel Multiverse.

An initially unrelated character called the Beyonder was tied to these older characters by Steve Englehart for his "Secret Wars III" story in Fantastic Four #318–319 (September–October 1988). The Beyonder first appeared during the first Secret Wars, as a being that was stated to be the omnipotent embodiment of an entire separated multiverse. As he became self-aware, he recognized himself as the only person in his Universe. According to Englehart, an editor hated the character and ordered the Beyonder "removed" from the Marvel Universe. Englehart did as asked but has stated that he tried to exile the character with dignity. The character was retconned into a less powerful character, a self-aware Cosmic Cube inhabiting his own "dimension" because there was no matrix to hold his energy, with the explanation that other more powerful beings had exercised their powers on the Beyonder's behalf to ease his transition into self-awareness.[1] The Beyonder later underwent another retcon, briefly becoming a mutant inhuman, and after a last retcon is now considered to be a member of the alien race of the same name and is referred to as a "child unit" by the Beyonders.[2]

The Beyonders were greatly expanded upon in Al Ewing's Defenders: Beyond series. They were revealed to be the same race as the "Omegas" previously seen in Defenders (2011–2012) and briefly appeared in Ultimates 2 (2016) #6. Their origin story was revealed and was tied to the Celestials; the "Beyond" space that they dwell was revealed to be formerly the second iteration of Cosmos and first Multiverse.[3]

Fictional history

[edit]

The Beyonders are a race of extra-dimensional entities that were created by the Celestials following the Celestial War which created the Second Cosmos, which was the first multiverse. They were originally called "Omegas" by the Celestials in opposition to the First Firmament which was the Alpha. After the death of the Second Cosmos, the Beyonders watched over the Multiverses that came after it, trapped in the Second Cosmos' remnants, outside the subsequent Multiverses thus by the Seventh Cosmos they were known as the Beyonders.[3]

The Beyonders maintained the Multiverse from the Beyond Space with the light of Concordance. The Celestials also assigned beings to maintain the Multiverse from within with the power of Living Abyss. These two became known as the Kings in White (or Ivory Kings) and Kings in Black (or Onyx Kings), respectively.[4]

For millennia they were not observed by any being of the Earth dimension (apparently including even the near-omniscient Watchers themselves); their 'true form' is unknown because each mind that views them struggles as best as it can to perceive an unknowable force as an image it can comprehend. In fact, their nature is so alien that they are constrained and restricted to their own sequential timeline which prevented them from leaving their dimension or travel through time. In order to interact outside their dimension the Beyonders are forced to operate through agents. After becoming aware of the Earth, the Beyonders began studying the Marvel Multiverse with amusement and curiosity. They first came to the attention of Earthlings when they commissioned the alien Nuwali race to create the Savage Land as part of their study of evolution. Thousands of years later, the Beyonders created the Fortisquians as agents to observe other worlds, including Max.[5]

They eventually hired the Pegasusian alien race as agents, to tow Counter-Earth to the Beyonders' museum. When the High Evolutionary discovered the disappearance of Counter-Earth, alongside the Thing, Alicia Masters, Starhawk, Moondragon, and Her, the Evolutionary pursued the Beyonders to rescue his world. When the Evolutionary arrived at the Beyonders' planet museum, he himself reported that his mind snapped when he witnessed the scope of their powers and how effectively insignificant he was compared to these alien beings. It is this encounter that marks the beginning of the High Evolutionary's mental instability.[6]

Every now and then the Beyonders would shunt a modicum of energy to the universe, allowing sentient beings to use them to create Cosmic Cubes—a practice they appear to have given up after the admonishments by Eternity and the Living Tribunal regarding the disruptive effect of these actions.[7] One of these energy modicums would later develop sentience and take its name after its creators, the Beyonder.[8]

Time Runs Out

[edit]

When entire universes throughout the Multiverse began to collide with each other, with each universe's respective Earth being the point of impact—events known as "incursions"—the Avengers send Hank Pym to find answers at the start of the "Time Runs Out" storyline. Instead, he learns the incursions are being caused by the Beyonders, whom he also refers to as the Ivory Kings.[9] Upon returning to Earth, he tells his fellow heroes that the Beyonders have killed the Living Tribunal along with all the Celestials, and every abstract entity (including Eternity, Infinity, Lord Chaos, Master Order, and the In-Betweener) as part of an experiment involving the destruction of all life throughout the Marvel Multiverse.

As all of reality was being destroyed, the trickster Loki uses magic to both exit reality and safely contain the essence of his fellow Asgardians. Finding himself in a blank void of nothingness, Loki is confronted by Those Who Sit Above in Shadows, allegedly the creators of the Asgardians, who demanded to be given the Asgardians' essence to feed on it. Loki defied Those Who Sit Above in Shadows, and even put into question their origin and existence, by asking if the gods such as the Asgardians actually came from the stories that had been told about them, so it was possible that the gods of the gods did not create them in the first place. Unable to answer or even counter the questions posed by Loki, Those Who Sit Above in Shadows fled. Loki hypothesized that Those Who Sit Above In Shadow could very well be the Beyonders.[10]

Later, Rabum Alal reveals to Doctor Strange that the Beyonders are responsible for the accident that turned Owen Reece into the Molecule Man, by using the child unit "The Beyonder" which in turn made the Molecule Man to be a singularity—identical in every reality—to function as a "bomb" that would destroy its native universe. The purpose of their experiment was to eventually kill all of the Molecule Men at the same time, bringing an end to the multiverse. After discovering the Beyonders are unable to travel through time since they are constrained and restricted to their own sequential timeline, Doom, Strange and Molecule Man confront the Beyonders one last time. Their attack apparently failed and as a result, the number of universes was reduced from thousands to barely more than two dozen.[11]

Secret Wars

[edit]

It was soon revealed that Doom's attack was a bomb made of Molecule Men he collected from throughout the Multiverse, which not only allowed him to destroy the Beyonders but at the same time channel the resulting energy into Owen Reece, and use that energy to collect what remained of the Multiverse into a single planet known as Battleworld.[12]

A number of survivors of the Multiverse were also collected and brought to Battleworld, now under the reign of the now-cosmically powered "God Emperor" Doom - their memories altered to become the lords and ladies of various factions of a medieval new order. The arrival of a handful of other survivors who recalled the truth shattered this illusion. Owen Reece, the conduit for the Beyonders' power, transferred that power to Reed Richards, leading to the Multiverse's recreation.[13]

Defenders: Beyond

[edit]

When the Defenders went outside the Multiverse, they discovered that not all of the Beyonders were killed. The race survived outside of the Multiverse, and explained that they identified the rise of Enigma as a threat to the Seventh Cosmos, and believed the destruction of the Seventh Cosmos was a "necessary experiment" in an attempt to spare the Multiverse from it, but seeing how the Multiverse was restored to how it was before, they have since changed tactics to contain the threat to a few realities. After a brief battle, the Defenders journeyed beyond the Beyond and into the White Hot Room.[3]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

The Beyonders have been witnessed killing nearly all of the Celestials and destroying abstract entities such as Eternity and Infinity throughout the multiverse at the same time, and three members of the race together managed to kill the Living Tribunal itself.[2]

The Beyonders are what Doctor Doom calls "linear beings". Despite their vast powers and knowledge, they seem unable to travel forward or backward in time.[11] They have also displayed other limitations, as an explosion strong enough to destroy a few thousand universes was sufficient to kill them.[12]

Beyonders

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The Beyonders are an ancient race of nigh-omnipotent, otherworldly beings in who exist outside the , originating from the Second Cosmos beyond conventional reality, created by the Celestials as their servitors, and serving as creators of pocket dimensions that house immense energies for artifacts like Cosmic Cubes. This race possesses reality-warping abilities that surpass most cosmic entities, enabling them to manipulate time, space, and existence on a multiversal scale, though individual members may exhibit vulnerabilities to mystical forces. Their actions have profoundly shaped key events in the , most notably orchestrating the Incursions—collisions between universes—that led to the near-total destruction of the during the 2015 storyline. One prominent member, the singular , emerged as a childlike yet immensely powerful entity after a laboratory accident involving the punctured their realm, granting it awareness of the and prompting experiments with mortal desires through events like the original 1984 . In the 2015 event, the collective initiated a systematic annihilation of the as part of an inscrutable experiment, reducing it to fragments that reassembled into the patchwork world of Battleworld, only for their plans to be thwarted by heroes including Doom, the , and Reed Richards. Beyond these cataclysmic roles, the Beyonders represent enigmatic observers and manipulators of creation, with their influence extending to stripping powers from wayward members and maintaining the balance of extradimensional energies, underscoring their status as one of Marvel's most formidable and aloof cosmic forces. The Beyonders have continued to appear in subsequent storylines, including Defenders: Beyond (2022) and Avengers: Beyond (2023).

Publication history

Conception and early development

The Beyonders were first mentioned as a mysterious alien race in Marvel Two-in-One #63 (May 1980), written by Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio, with pencils by Jerry Bingham and inks by Gene Day. In the issue, the character Sphinxor reveals that his people were contracted by these "Beyonders" to monitor Counter-Earth and manipulate events there, portraying them as immensely powerful entities operating from outside the known multiverse. This early depiction emerged amid Marvel's growing emphasis on cosmic-scale narratives during the late 1970s and early 1980s, as editor-in-chief Jim Shooter sought to introduce omnipotent external forces to elevate stakes in superhero stories and compete with DC's cosmic elements. Shooter's editorial direction encouraged explorations of extradimensional threats, setting the stage for broader multiversal concepts that would define Marvel's cosmic mythology. While the singular Beyonder character—created by Shooter as a nigh-omnipotent outsider for the 1984 miniseries Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars—shared thematic similarities, the Beyonders race developed independently through Gruenwald and Macchio's work two years earlier, establishing a separate foundation for these beyond-reality beings.

Major publications and expansions

The Beyonders were introduced as a fully realized race of extra-dimensional entities in New Avengers (Vol. 3) #29–33 (2015), written by with art by Mike Deodato. In this arc, the Illuminati discover the Beyonders' orchestration of incursions—collisions between parallel universes—through the placement of Molecule Men as "bombs" in each reality, marking their debut as architects of multiversal collapse. Hickman's narrative expanded the Beyonders' scope in the Avengers: Time Runs Out crossover (2015), spanning Avengers (Vol. 5) #41–44 and New Avengers (Vol. 3) #31–33, where their plan to eradicate the Multiverse escalates, pitting Earth's heroes against the race's vast power. This buildup directly fed into Secret Wars (2015–2016), Hickman's 9-issue miniseries illustrated by Esad Ribić, which established the Beyonders as nigh-omnipotent destroyers whose actions force Doctor Doom to seize their power and forge Battleworld from the remnants of reality. These publications solidified the Beyonders as central antagonists in Marvel's cosmic mythology, emphasizing their detachment from and dominance over the Multiverse. Subsequent developments appeared in Defenders: Beyond #1–5 (2022), written by with art by Javier Rodríguez, which delves into the Beyonders' realm—the "Beyond," a liminal space outside the —and features interactions between the race and a team including , , , , and Taaia (Galactus's mother). The series portrays the Beyonders confronting the Defenders amid explorations of higher cosmic planes, highlighting their enigmatic influence on reality's boundaries. Additionally, Ewing retconned the Beyonders' origins, depicting them as creations of the Celestials originating from the Second Cosmos, tying them to ancient cosmic events and rogue Aspirant factions in a broader mythological framework. The Beyonders' role was further explored in Avengers: Beyond #1–5 (2023), written by with art by . In this miniseries, the recruits the Avengers to combat the "," a rogue ancient entity threatening the Beyonders' realm, adding new dimensions to their vulnerabilities and interactions with Marvel heroes.

Characteristics

Origin and creation

The Beyonders originated in the Second , the second iteration of the Marvel , where they were created by the Celestials as servitors known as the Omegas. These beings were designed in opposition to the , associated with the First of the First , and tasked with maintaining order across the nascent while serving as a failsafe against potential Celestial conflicts. Their creation occurred amid the Celestials' colonization efforts following the celestial war that ended the First , positioning the Omegas as limitless lifeforms to ensure cosmic stability. Further revelations indicate that the Celestials first engineered an intermediary entity, Cal-Horra—later known as the —who directly brought the Beyonders into existence by imbuing them with a portion of his vast power. However, the Beyonders evolved into independent, nigh-omnipotent entities and rebelled against Cal-Horra, siphoning his remaining essence and imprisoning him on a distant outside the to erase his influence from their history. This act of defiance marked their transition from subservient tools to autonomous powers, predating the current Eighth Cosmos by eons. Following the demise of the Second Cosmos, the Celestials advanced to the Third Cosmos, but the Beyonders remained behind, migrating to the "Beyond"—a liminal exterior to the entire . There, they adopted the designation of Ivory Kings in certain accounts of their lore, establishing themselves as detached observers and subtle experimenters upon the fabric of creation itself.

Nature and physiology

The Beyonders are an ancient race of extra-dimensional entities originating from the Beyond-realm, a higher-dimensional existing outside the Marvel Multiverse. When manifesting within observable realities, they appear as tall, featureless humanoids with smooth, ivory-white skin, lacking facial features or distinct physical traits that would denote individuality. This form serves as a projection suited to lower-dimensional perception, while their true is non-corporeal and unbound by conventional . Reproduction among the Beyonders occurs asexually, with mature individuals creating isolated pocket universes to nurture immature , who develop in isolation until reaching maturity. The entity known as the , featured in , was retconned as one such childlike member, highlighting the species' developmental stages without reliance on traditional biological pairing or . This process underscores their self-sustaining nature, independent of external resources or partners. Their society is structured hierarchically, comprising roles akin to scientists and explorers who systematically investigate and manipulate multiversal structures as experimental subjects. Lacking emotions such as or in many depictions, they approach with clinical detachment, prioritizing collective objectives over personal drives. Individual Beyonders do not bear names, reinforcing their unified identity as a singular, impersonal force. As higher-dimensional beings, the Beyonders exhibit , remaining unaffected by aging, , or within their native . They exist in a state of temporal detachment, unbound by linear time and capable of perceiving events across vast scales simultaneously, which further erodes any sense of personal chronology or mortality.

Fictional history

Experiments and incursions

The Beyonders, originating as enigmatic multiversal observers from beyond the known cosmos, initiated a series of destructive experiments to probe the fundamental resilience of creation across realities. These activities marked their transition from passive watchers to active interveners, driven by a profound scientific about , particularly the implications of persisting without the influence of . In one phase of their experimentation, the Beyonders systematically eliminated pivotal cosmic entities to test the multiverse's structural integrity. This included the annihilation of virtually all Celestials, as well as and abstract embodiments such as , , , Lord Chaos, Master Order, and the In-Betweener, demonstrating the observers' capacity to dismantle foundational pillars of reality without immediate collapse. These acts, conducted across multiple universes, revealed the Beyonders' methodical approach to dissecting cosmic hierarchies. Central to their grand design was the creation of the as a multiversal singularity—a living "bomb" engineered into every reality to serve as the ultimate tool for destruction. Each incarnation of Owen Reece was imbued with the potential to unravel its upon activation, reflecting the Beyonders' fascination with eradicating life in a deathless framework and achieving the synchronized demise of all existence. This construct was not born of benevolence but as a controlled variable in their on multiversal annihilation. To execute their endgame, the Beyonders triggered incursions by selectively detonating these Men, causing universes to collide at their Earths and destabilizing the entire without requiring their direct presence in the affected realms. These engineered collisions served as empirical tests of multiversal stability, escalating from isolated entity eliminations to a cascading that threatened total erasure. By the early 2010s in chronology, these covert operations came to light through the investigations of Earth's heroic defenders, particularly the , who uncovered the Beyonders' orchestration amid the mounting incursions and pieced together the observers' role in the impending doom. This revelation shifted the conflict from abstract experimentation to a desperate defense against multiversal extinction.

Time Runs Out and

As the incursions intensified, culminating in the final collision between and Earth-1610, the Beyonders activated their ultimate weapon: a network of Molecule Men implanted across the as sentient bombs designed to eradicate all reality simultaneously. This detonation was intended to ensure no universe survived the collapse, fulfilling the Beyonders' experimental goal of multiversal annihilation. In the lead-up to this cataclysm, known as "Time Runs Out," Earth's heroes fractured into opposing factions: the , who sought to mitigate the incursions through desperate measures, and the Cabal, a villainous alliance including and his lieutenants and , who embraced destruction. , a former servant of the Beyonders who had been captured and radicalized by the Illuminati, defected to the Cabal and clashed repeatedly with heroes attempting to avert the end. , wielding his soul-trapping staff under ' command, engaged in brutal confrontations with Illuminati members like and during efforts to secure alternate Men. These battles highlighted the Beyonders' indirect influence through proxies, as the alien race observed from beyond without direct intervention. The Beyonders' plans unraveled when , allying with the last surviving from , infiltrated their extradimensional realm. Using a constructed from harvested alternate Molecule Men, Doom and his partner obliterated the Beyonders' collective, slaughtering the majority of their race and seizing their omnipotent energies. Reed Richards, having survived the final incursion among a of refugees, later played a pivotal role by convincing to transfer the stolen power to him, enabling the multiverse's reconstruction. In the immediate aftermath, Doom harnessed the Beyonders' remnants to forge Battleworld, a fragile patchwork planet assembled from the debris of destroyed realities, which he ruled as God Emperor for eight years. This act temporarily stabilized existence but sowed the seeds for the multiverse's eventual restoration under Richards' guidance.

Defenders: Beyond

In the 2022 Defenders: Beyond miniseries by Al Ewing and Javier Rodríguez, a team of Defenders—including Blue Marvel, Loki, Tigra, America Chavez, and Taaia—embarks on an expedition beyond the Multiverse, guided by Man-Thing, to avert a looming cosmic peril originating from the Beyonders' domain. This journey targets the Ivory Kings, a designation for the Beyonders themselves, who represent a resurgent threat intent on reshaping reality to counter an encroaching Dominion. The narrative positions this incursion as a direct follow-up to the near-annihilation of the Beyonders during the Secret Wars event, with remnants persisting in isolation outside known existence. Upon arrival in the Beyond, the Defenders confront the Omega Council, comprising surviving Ivory Kings who view the Seventh Cosmos as a failed experiment and now prioritize containment measures against existential anomalies. The Beyonder, a distinctive outlier among his kin with a childlike perspective on reality, initially welcomes the intruders and discloses foundational revelations about the Beyonders' lineage: they were engineered by rebellious Celestials in the Second Cosmos as overseers of multiversal integrity, drawing sustenance from the Enigma Force to monitor and intervene in creation's cycles. Artifacts such as the Concordance Engines, deployed by the Beyonders to stabilize multiversal structures, are highlighted as tools once used to orchestrate incursions but now repurposed for defensive firewalls against the Dominion's spread. These disclosures tie directly to the Lost One, Cal-Horra—a primordial entity from the First Cosmos and the Beyonders' unwitting progenitor—whom the Ivory Kings had exiled beyond reality; his potential return amplifies anti-matter instabilities that could unravel the Ninth Cosmos. The encounter escalates into conflict, with the Defenders challenging the council's linear predictive capabilities and isolationist agenda. Blue Marvel exploits an anti-matter vulnerability by obliterating one Ivory King's corporeal "flesh-suit," forcing the survivors to reconsider their isolation and briefly ally with the intruders against shared perils. This uneasy enables the to navigate deeper into the Beyond, culminating in a traversal to the White Hot Room, where Phoenix-related energies intersect with Beyonder legacies. The resolution reinforces the Ninth Cosmos's fragility, as the Defenders' actions compel the Beyonder remnants to recalibrate their containment strategies, limiting the Dominion's influence to isolated realities rather than a total collapse. This intervention establishes a tentative equilibrium, underscoring the persistent interplay between Beyonder artifacts and multiversal guardians in preserving post-Secret Wars cosmic order, while hinting at escalating Enigma Force disruptions in future narratives.

Avengers: Beyond

In the 2023 Avengers: Beyond miniseries, the , continuing his role from Defenders: Beyond, traps the escaped Cal-Horra (the ) on using a shield formed from four crystallized to contain his rampage against the Beyonders' remnants. However, the later disables the shield, allowing Cal-Horra to absorb the crystallized Beyonders and resume his hunt, drawing the Avengers—including an earlier roster with , , and —into the conflict as they confront the ensuing chaos and reality-altering manipulations by the . This storyline explores the ongoing vendetta between Cal-Horra and the , further threatening multiversal stability.

Powers and abilities

Individual capabilities

Individual Beyonders possess nigh-omnipotent abilities, enabling them to warp reality, manipulate , and project on a universal scale. The child Beyonder, a juvenile member of the race later retconned into their lore, exemplified this by abducting dozens of heroes and villains from to construct Battleworld, a synthetic in a pocket dimension, reshaping environments and resurrecting the dead at will. Matter manipulation allowed the same entity to transmute objects, alter molecular structures, and unleash blasts capable of vaporizing planetary bodies. Energy projection extended to creating force fields that withstood assaults from entire teams of superhumans and cosmic forces. Beyonders exhibit , rendering them immune to conventional , alongside rapid regeneration that permits instant from physical destruction. This was demonstrated by the child Beyonder surviving disintegration attempts by Marvel's abstract entities and reforming unscathed, highlighting their existence beyond typical mortal constraints. They can alter their size from microscopic to colossal proportions and traverse dimensions effortlessly, originating from a outside the that facilitates seamless interdimensional travel and the fabrication of isolated pocket universes for experimentation or isolation. Mental faculties include potent telepathy for mind reading, influence, and illusion creation, as well as telekinesis to manipulate objects or beings over vast distances without physical contact. The child Beyonder employed to probe the thoughts of billions across and telekinesis to hurl mountains or restrain godlike opponents during casual encounters. Within realms under their observation, they achieve a form of , possessing instantaneous knowledge of all events, locations, and secrets therein; the child Beyonder's feats in this regard involved preemptively anticipating actions of cosmic abstracts like the Celestials, though limited by his immature perspective in early depictions (subsequently retconned). In isolated combats, individual Beyonders showcase superior prowess against cosmic heavyweights. The child Beyonder subdued , compelling the Devourer of Worlds to act as his herald by overwhelming him with raw power and reducing his threat to subservience. He also appeared to clash with the Celestials in an event later revealed to be an illusion created by them to test him, rather than a direct battle. These encounters underscore their capacity to dominate entities embodying universal forces through sheer personal might.

Collective power and influence

The Beyonders, functioning as a unified race, demonstrate unparalleled capacity for multiversal destruction through meticulously coordinated experiments that precipitate incursions, wherein colliding universes mutually annihilate each other across infinite realities. These incursions, engineered as a systematic on the Seventh , represent a collective strategy to eradicate the entirely, underscoring their role as existential architects of cosmic collapse. Central to their arsenal are superweapons like the Molecule Men, singular entities implanted by the Beyonders into every universe as dormant multiversal bombs designed to trigger total annihilation upon activation. Similarly, as the Ivory Kings, they deployed advanced constructs such as the Mapmakers for and —empowering entities to survey and destabilize entire cosmoses, amplifying the race's threat on a transdimensional scale. In unison, the Beyonders exert dominance over abstract cosmic entities, capable of simultaneously slaying multiple Celestials, , , and the across all realities, feats that eclipse even the most formidable multiversal guardians. Yet, this collective might reveals inherent vulnerabilities when fragmented; using a bomb made from other Molecule Men, and eliminated the entire race, dismantling their omnipotent front. The Beyonders' orchestrated cataclysm left enduring scars on Marvel cosmology, culminating in the multiverse's implosion and the temporary forging of Battleworld from its remnants, only for Franklin Richards to reconstruct a renewed multiversal framework in the aftermath. As of 2025, the has reemerged in a conflict with , reaffirming the race's enduring reality-warping influence.
