Beyonders
The Beyonders are a fictional higher-dimensional race appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They live outside the multiverse and are responsible for the multiverse's destruction during Jonathan Hickman's Avengers (2012), New Avengers (2013), and Secret Wars (2015) saga.
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. 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.
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 The 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.
The Beyonders are a race of extra-dimensional entities that were created by the Celestials following the Celestial War which created the Second Cosmos, 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, living in the Second Cosmos' remnants, outside the subsequent multiverses. Thus, they were known as the Beyonders.
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.
For millennia, the Beyonders were not observed by any being of the Earth dimension. 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.
