The Beyonder first appear in 1984’sSecret Wars#1 as a near - all-powerful being who meet the various superheroes and supervillains on Earth to fight to observe the endless battle between good and evil . Though he purportedly died after take human manikin at the end ofSecret Wars II , he appeared a fistful of time throughout the subsequent ten . Even better , it sprain out this Beyonder is but a younger member of a much enceinte race of evenly sinewy being . The Beyonders are so powerful that they have managed to pour down other metaphysical entity in the Marvel Universe like the Living Tribunal , Eternity , Infinity and several other god - alike beingness . It ’s easy to see why a war between several or all of the Beyonders could be a potentially devastating occurrence .
Still , whatever go down in the Beyonder Wars has very small wallop on Old Man Quill . Even the death of Groot is less than permanent , as the issue ends with a new , sapling version of Groot standing amonga novel multiplication of Guardians of the Galaxy . Whatever happened in the Beyonder Wars also go out reality more or less undaunted .

It ’s possible something like could go on in the mainstream Marvel 616 universe.especially with the Cancerverse and Sentry launching an attack on our cosmos . Who ’s to say Quill would n’t make a similar deal with Galactus , or perhaps , the Beyonders would n’t act some purpose in the wake of the Cancerverse ’s penetration in the primary universe ?
It is also potential that " The Beyonders War " is nothing more than a throw - away line just intended to make Groot ’s death more impressive - but iconic upshot and characters have been created with less for stirring . Whatever the case , it seems the Beyonders may once again represent a big role in the Marvel universe going ahead .
