- Beyonders

The Beyonders were a near-omnipotent alien race from a dimension outside the Omniverse. They commissioned the Nuwali to create the Savage Land and created the Fortisquians to be colonizers. When the High Evolutionary started to collect the extradimensional mass he needed to build his Counter-Earth, the Beyonders took notice and hired the alien Sphinxor to observe his progress and make preparations to steal the planet for them once it was completed.

Despite this, the Beyonders where actually once ordinary individuals from other Outerverses across the Omniverse that somehow managed to leave their original one to another, but in doing so- it granted them God-like power over their new Outerverse and any other, despite the one they were originally from. It is unknown, how it affects their mental or physical state when they enter a new Outerverse, but what is shown, is that they see all other beings besides themselves as lesser creatures that exist to be their experiments.

Despite there being an infinite number of Beyonders across the vast Omniverse, the only ones we are ever introduced to are in the Marvel Outerverse, despite there being other ones out there in other Outerverses.

## History

Within the Marvel Outerverse, the Beyonders set in motion their grandest experiment yet, the Beyonders created a singularity across every reality: the Molecule Man. Each Molecule Man would take his universe with him once he died and the Beyonders planned to bear witness to the simultaneous death of everything in the Outerverse. However, the time-traveling Doctor Doom and Molecule Man of Earth-616 united forces to thwart their plans by killing every Molecule Man in existence before his natural death. A contraction in the Multiverse's timeline was created when the universe of their first victim died with him, forcing two universes to collide. their respective Earth's serving as the point of impact. The moment in which that happened became known as an incursion.

Eight years later, Doom began to gather disciples to help in his quest. They were the Black Swans, women from numerous universes who worshipped him as Rabum Alal, the Great Destroyer. Two years after that, the Beyonders realized something was wrong with their experiment and created the Mapmakers and Sidera Maris. Their purpose was to chart worlds where Molecule Men had died, thus marking the movements of the Black Swans, seeding sacrifice worlds, and preserving future incursion worlds. Soon after being hunted down by the Avengers, the Illuminati sent Yellowjacket on a mission to find Rabum Alal. During his journey, Yellowjacket witnessed as the Beyonders annihilated the Celestials, Eternity, Infinity, Lord Chaos, Master Order, the In-Betweener, and even the Living Tribunal throughout all realities.

Later on, the Beyonders killed all of the Multiversal Avengers upon being confronted by them. Using kidnapped Molecule Men, Doom created a bomb that he launched on the Beyonders after drawing them out of their dimension. The detonation of the bomb reduced the number of remaining universes from hundreds of thousands to less than two dozen, but managed to push the Beyonders out of their Outerverse, and into the Void to wander eternally until they found a new Outerverse. Doom absorbed their powers that they left behind in the explosion and used them to create Battleworld.

## Powers & Abilities

**Nigh-Omnipotence:** The Beyonders possess nigh-omnipotent powers, being the better of the Beyonder and are more powerful than the Celestials. They can build whole universes, give ideas form, create and destroy stars on a whim, and create Cosmic Cubes. The Beyonders can kill multiple powerhouses on a whim, as three Beyonders have been shown to be powerful enough to kill the Living Tribunal itself, as well as destroy most of the cosmic entities of every reality within his own Outerverse. One alone easily overpowered the combined might of Thor, Hyperion, and Starbrand, suffering no visible damage from their attacks until Starbrand's detonation. Their powers are so enormous that Doctor Doom matched and even defeated a user of the Infinity Gauntlet when he had the power of the Beyonders, showing the superiority of their powers over that of the Infinity Gems. Despite their enormous power, they are unable to travel time and are not very durable against overwhelming forces, as one was killed by Starbrand's explosion- in fact, the only being in an Outerverse who can surpass the power of a group of Beyonders, is the Avatar of God itself, which in the Marvel Outerverse in 'The One Above All'.

* **Avatar Creation:** The form the Beyonders took were manifestations making them solid states that contained their very essence.

### Abilities

* **Shapeshifting:** The Beyonders are universally adaptive and harmonically transitional. They can transform their body parts and take new forms.
* **Energy Discharges:** The Beyonders can shoot powerful energy blasts capable to bring down Thor, and even injuring cosmic entities like Eternity or the Celestials.
* **Superhuman Strength:** A Beyonder has been shown strong enough to hold a strike from Thor, tearing his arm apart with relative ease a moment later.
* **Superhuman Speed:** The Beyonders are fast enough to take by surprise the likes of Thor and Hyperion and attack them.
* **Regeneration:** The Beyonders can regenerate their body parts.
* **Dimensional Travel:** The Beyonders can create rifts in space-time to travel between realities.

### Weaknesses

The Beyonders were described by Lucifer as being linear. They are constrained and restricted to their own sequential timeline- as they left a previous one to create one of their own, so they are unable to travel through time. They can be pushed back and sent away by utterly overwhelming force, such as the detonation of Starbrand, or the Molecule Men from various universes. Additionally, the Great Society encountered one of the Beyonders in the past and found a way to defeat it or at least survive the encounter. The only beings who have the power to destroy Beyonders, are entities stronger than the Avatars of God.

## Trivia

* The Beyonders created their own dimension above most Outerverses, which is where many of the cosmic cubes come from.
* It was hypothesized that 'Those Who Sit Above in Shadow' could be Beyonders seeking to evade their own doom.
* To be noted that their sentences "Slay your enemies and all you desire shall be yours" and "Nothing you dream of is impossible for us to accomplish" mimicked the Beyonder's.
