Beyonder's History
The Beyonders were created by the Celestials' own creation,
Cal-Horra, intended by the Celestials to keep maintenance of the Multiverse, the Second Cosmos, following the Celestial War. They stole Cal-Horra's power, trapped him in a moon outside the Multiverse, and erased him from their history.Nevertheless, they were servitors of the Celestials and were called "Omegas" by them, in opposition to the
First Firmament. After the death of the Second Cosmos, the Beyonders watched over the Multiverses that came after in the Second Cosmos' remnants, outside the subsequent Multiverses. Although normally working behind the scenes, they occasionally intervened to allow the creation of Cosmic Cubes When the First Firmament sent some of its Aspirants to invade the Seventh Cosmos, the Omegas developed the reality warping Concordance Engines to draw "miracles" to the planet Earth so that the resulting superheroes could defend against the Aspirants. These engines, guarded by Presters, were supposedly the reason for why Earth is the focal point of everything in the cosmos. The Beyonders were divided into groups. The godlike Omega Council coordinated the race's actions from "Heaven"; they also created the Library of Worlds and gifted it to the Multiverse.The Presters lived on Earth to protect the Concordance Engines. Some Beyonders became rogues and joined the Beyond Corporation. On Earth, the Beyonders commissioned the Nuwali to create the Savage Land and created the Fortisquians to be colonizers. When the
High Evolutionary started to collect the extra-dimensional 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.
Destruction of the Seventh Cosmos
When the Beyonders foresaw that Enigma, a Dominion, would threaten the Seventh Cosmos, they decided to destroy the Multiverse themselves, hoping that the next Eighth Cosmos would be rid of it. As part of their biggest 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 Multiverse. 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, but the Molecule Men's deaths had a terrible consequence. A contraction in the Multiverse, both in its timeline and the proximity of realities, was created when the universe of the first Molecule Man victim died with him, forcing two universes to collide, their respective Earths serving as the point of impact.This event 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 worshiped 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.
Time Runs Out and Secret Wars
The Beyonders laid a trap for those trying to interfere with the incursions, like the Builders or Captain Britain Corps; however, their real targets were cosmic entities. The Beyonders annihilated The Celestials,
Lord Chaos,
Master Order,
In-Betweener,
eternity, and even
The Living Tribunal throughout all realities. Not long after killing the Multiversal Avengers, the Beyonders were lured out of their dimension by Doctor Doom and were destroyed by his bomb made from kidnapped Molecule Men.
Doom,had the Molecule Man absorb their power and used it to create Battleworld out of the Multiverse's remnants. After eight years, the Molecule Man transferred the power of the Beyonders to Reed Richards, who first restored the Prime Earth, and then the rest of the Multiverse. Not all of the Beyonders were killed. The race survived outside of the Multiverse, and seeing how the Multiverse was restored to how it was before, they concluded their experiment to be a failure.At some point, a Beyonder caused several wars in the reality of Earth-21923. The Guardians of the Galaxy, minus Star-Lord, were instrumental in ending the wars, but at the cost of Groot's life
The Lost One
Cal-Horra, an ancient being created by the Celestials whose power the Beyonders had stolen, escaped from his prison outside the Multiverse that the Beyonders had trapped him in. He immediately launched a vengeful campaign against the Beyonders. In an effort to save himself and his people, the Beyonder attacked four other Beyonders and turned them into crystals to power a shield that would trap the Lost One on Earth, after luring him there. Although the other Beyonders were grateful, they were also displeased that he attacked his fellow Beyonders to do this and banished him to Earth without his powers. Anticipating that the other Beyonders would erase his memory of how to disable the shield, the Beyonder had extracted it beforehand and used it to make a deal with the Lost One. The shield was disabled, the four Beyonders powering it were absorbed by the Lost One, and he left to continue his hunt.
Defenders: Beyond
The Defenders, in their journey through the "Mystery" beyond the Far Shore, first entered the Beyond. The Beyonder greeted them and revealed the origin of the Beyonders. The other Beyonders explained that they believed the destruction of the Seventh Cosmos was a "necessary experiment" to prevent the Enigma, but 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.
