==Summary==
The Beyonder is a young member of the ancient race of multiversal engineers known as The Beyonders, and by far its most infamous and well-known one. Having incubated within a specialized "womb-space" created by his progenitors for an unknown amount of time, the Beyonder eventually became aware of existence apart from his own when a pinhole tore through the fabric of reality due to the of the creation of a multiversal demolition tool allowed him to see through into other universes and dimensions. As he was the embodiment of all things in his personal universe, and had never known anything else, this discovery deeply shocked the Beyonder, and seeing the complexity of the lifeforms on the other side, began a series of interactions with them, in the hopes of learning more.
First and foremost among these interactions was the event known as the Secret Wars, in which various villains and heroes from Earth were placed in a makeshift planet of the Beyonder's own making known as Battleworld, in which they would be forced to fight for their own survival to sate the entity's curiosity. When this chain of events was over, the Beyonder then started to interact with the universe more directly, descending from his own reality and into the physical world, in which he quickly found himself overwhelming even the strongest beings on Earth. As he had known nothing else apart from his own reality beforehand, he misinterpreted it as having been all of existence, and himself as the most powerful being of all, dwarfing all other powers by millions of times.
Eventually, the truth of his origins was revealed to him: Not only was he no supreme being, but also a fractured, incomplete entity, a failed Cosmic Cube whose gestation period was cut short by the creation of the Molecule Man, and who thus never developed as it should have. Though he initially refused to accept this truth, the Beyonder ultimately could not deny it, and accepted that he required fixing. His repairing involved speedrunning through several larval stages of evolution, amidst which he would become the female entity Kosmos, and, eventually, mature enough in order to ascend into a fully-fledged Beyonder and join his people in their sanctum above all of reality.

|-|Complete Cosmic Cube (Kosmos)=
All previous powers and abilities on much greater scales.
|-|Matured Beyonder=
All previous powers and abilities on much greater scales, 
*Abstract Existence (Type 1; Beyonders exist as "embodiments" of the Beyond,Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #6 and lie on a level more primal than the Superflow, a conceptual realm of pure information,Ultimates², #9 "where metaphor and reality meet, signifier and signified become one,"Ultimates² #2 with the planes of the Mystery being stated to be the primal concepts that precede and ultimately become the omniverseGhost Rider: Kushala #4Ghost Rider: Kushala #6)
*Avatar Creation (Beyonders are capable of acting through manifestations of themselves,New Avengers Vol. 3 #32 described as solid forms acting as vessels for their non-physical essences. A "Debaser-unit" Beyonder was able to send in the "smallest part" of itself into the omniverse in order to possess and act through Jason Quantrell, comparing its usage of him to a mouse cursorCaptain America and the Mighty Avengers #7)
*Information Manipulation and Plot Manipulation (After absorbing the Beyonders' power, Molecule Man remarked that he could now alter the base information of reality, as well as the narrative of existence itselfUltimates #7)
*Transduality (Type 3; As they are beyond the omniverse, Beyonders transcend the In-Betweener, an inner function of Eternity that personifies the barrier and division between dichotomies,Doctor Strange Vol. 2 #26Secret Wars II #06 being "a concept of concepts"Silver Surfer Vol. 3 #17 and "walking the path between all worlds, all concepts,"Doctor Strange Vol. 2 #27 simultaneously the union of all polarities and something that stands exempt from them)
*Nonexistent Physiology (Nature 2, Aspect 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; As residents of the Outside, Beyonders are completely above even the concept of existenceUltimates #11 and of realityUltimates², #6 as a whole,Ultimates² Back Cover with their realm being described as an "incomprehensibly featureless level"Fantastic Four Annual #23 and existing in an even more primordial state than the "pure, perfect nothing" of the Far Shore)
*Acausality (Type 4; Beyonders transcend the very temporal/historical/"true"-event structure of the universe, though they are still constrained by their own personal timelineNew Avengers Vol. 3 #33)
*Precognition and Clairvoyance (Though Beyonders are linear beings, incapable of truly knowing what will be for existence at large, , with the Un-Beyond, the dark reflection of their realm, being described as a point from which the Onyx King can see all the different forks and branches of the timestream,Venom Vol. 5 #18 observing the set of all futures, but having no inherent knowledge of which future will come to be)
*Adaptation (While in physical vessels, Beyonders are malleable and capable of freely changing their shapes, with Hank Pym describing them as "universally adaptative" creaturesNew Avengers Vol. 3 #30)
*Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1)
*Self-Power Modification
*Immortality (Type 5; As they are beyond the omniverse, Beyonders abide in a state of featureless nonexistence in which there is no life or death,Ultimates #5 and as such nothing diesUltimates² #100)
*Large Size (Type 11)
*Causality Manipulation (The Beyonders created the Concordance Engines, which are machines whose function is to harvest whole events from individual realities and recontextualize hem into the framework of others.Defenders Vol. 4 #11). In addition to the above, they also hold all the powers of the Cosmic Cubes, as those are simply Beyonders in larval stages of their development
</tabber>
Attack Potency: High Hyperverse level (Stated to be an infinite-dimensional being that existed as the entirety of his own, endless universe."Defenders: Beyond #5" Cosmic Cubes in general are stated to be omni-dimensional structures,"Marvel Super-Villain Team-Up #17" as such extending over all spatial dimensions, of which"Children of the Voyager #3" there is"Children of the Voyager, #4" an infinite number"Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #51""Fantastic Four Unlimited #3") | At least High Hyperverse level (Merged with the part of his energy that was locked away within Molecule Man, thus evolving into a perfect Cosmic Cube. Equal to the likes of Kubik, who previously easily stomped the Beyonder and nearly crushed the entire Beyond-Realm with his bare hands."Fantastic Four Vol. 1 #319" Upon reaching a level of power equal to Kubik and Kosmos, Molecule Man described himself as "transacting on power levels unimaginable" to the Beyonder, and operating on on infinities beyond his narrow perceptionFantastic Four Annual #27) | High Outerverse level (Having completed his own reparation, he eventually ascended beyond the multiverse and joined the rest of The Beyonders in the Engine Room of Creation, above and beyond all of existence) | High Outerverse level (Liberated himself from the bindings of the The One Above All entirely by escaping the House of Ideas,Defenders: Beyond #5 attaining a state of "freedom" from Marvel Comics itself which Blue Marvel likened to Buddhahood)
Speed: Infinite (Time and distance are stated to hold no meaning to him), can make himself Omnipresent (Comprises the Beyond-Realm, being able to disincorporate to fill the void and become a whole universe once more) | Infinite (Immensely above her previous self) | Immeasurable
Lifting Strength: Immeasurable
Striking Strength: High Hyperverse level | At least High Hyperverse level | High Outerverse level | High Outerverse level
Durability: High Hyperverse level | High Hyperverse level | High Outerverse level | High Outerverse level
Stamina: Infinite
Range: High Hyperversal | High Hyperversal | High Outerversal | High Outerversal
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Holds a great degree of cosmic awareness that bestows him with an innate understanding of the universe around him and its inner workings, though he at first was childlike and ignorant regarding most aspects of earthly existence, having to learn everything through experience.
Weaknesses: As an infinite being, the Beyonder is incapable of adapting to the act of perceiving reality from a finite perspective, and attempting to do so (Or forcing this state upon him) drives him to insanity | Same as before | Although he is beyond the concept of time, he, like other Beyonders, is still limited to his own higher notion of a sequential chronology, and is ultimately powerless against beings who can manage to travel through it | None notable
Note: While the Beyonder's existence is often divided between "pre-retcon" and "post-retcon" in relation to the original Secret Wars, this is not entirely accurate. The events of Secret Wars I and II were not removed from canon, what changed was the Beyonder's relationship with the other cosmic entities. Rather than surpassing all of them, for example, it was revealed that the abstracts wanted to help the Beyonder mature into awareness, and so they used manifestations to appear weaker than him. As a result, a good amount of statements and showings pertaining to the Beyonder in Secret Wars (Such as him being an infinite-dimensional entity, as well as the majority of the abilities displayed during his tenure on Earth) are still usable, as they are not directly relevant to his previous characterization and were as such not affected by the retcon, and trying to maintain the division would only necessitate a "pre-retcon" key for every cosmic being.
