I really don't know what to say about this. I love Bendis and the crazy writing he does at times. I've always stuck by him but SECRET WARS has always held a special place for me. But this kinda pisses me off.

Read about it here and discuss (if you care about the Beyonder): http://www.comicvine.com/brian-michael-bendis/40435/news/&newsId=158

I'm just not a fan of the Inhumans and don't see what the heck the Beyonder would have to do with them. LAME!

Sounds kinda stupid, I liked his old origin. This new one doesn't make much sense to me...

I don't really like the idea of him being a inhuman. I like him having an unknown about him. But now it seems like any mutant could sneek in there get some mist and be beyonder.

I'm sorry, unless this preview is a totally misleading, purposeful fabrication, this is crap.

"Maybe i just don't know enough about Beyonder to fell the same, I like the concept of him being a mutant, I mean, what the hell was he before?"

He was supposed to be a being more powerful possibly than even the Living Tribunal. Now he's a mutant inhuman? Crap.

Maybe Chuck just is crazy and doesn't know what he's talking about. Look at Black Bolt's face, he's like, "What the heck have you been smoking? And why didn't I get any?"

From our page here: "Originally a being from beyond our universe the Beyonder proved to be possibly the most powerful being created in the marvel universe. He seemed to have immense telepathic and telekinetic powers, he could shape shift, teleport (although he seemed somewhat omnipresent)the Beyonder appeared to have knowledge of all things past and present. early on he seemed nothing more than an observer but as time went on he did influence those around him more and more. sadly his power became the end of him as marvel deconstructed his abilities and cast him as a hoax. unaware of this the beyonder became a much lesser super being, and his previous super feats were nothing more than his imagination. A sad end to what was an incredible being."

There was more written but, oh yeah, we had to delete it...

Lord Gambler says:

"I dont see why him being a mutant less ins his character? He had no real origin it sounds like to me."

Because, turning him into a mutant, even an inhuman one, would make him suddenly the most powerful mutant ever. Imagine a mutant who makes an Omega Level mutant like Franklin Richards at full power seem like a bug in comparison. Just doesn't jive after all these years. Bendis, in one issue, will take away everything that made the Beyonder interesting.

That's the thing with Bendis (at least to me). He's either totally on target, or his writing sucks rotten snake eggs. We shall see.

I'm kind of where G-Man is with this. Secret Wars was one of my earliest childhood comics memories. You know how that goes, if somebody screws up a childhood memory, it can make you pretty angry.

"ahhh retcon... the bane of archivers existence...now can you imagine how i'm going to feel trying to get the Dr Who page streight?M"

Anyways, the Beyonder did have a bigger page but it was...taken from elsewhere. Basically he was an omniscient being that accidentally discovered our universe (when lame-o Molecule Man caused the accident that gave him his powers). The Beyonder knew nothing about human traits of good or evil and greed. So he took a bunch of good guys and bad guys and wanted them to fight. He said he'd give the winner anything they wanted.

I did a blog on it way back, like my fifth one. Can't seem to put a link to the individual blog.

I was kinda pissed about how Spider-man got his mask ripped off in New Avengers when they were fighting on the Raft. I thought it was wrong that everyone would see his face. But I let it go because I trusted Bendis. Then they go and just do away with it. Think I'm still in denial about that.

Lord Gambler says:

"Look at Kangs face, thats weak if you ask me, he looks like a 9 year old who dropped his icecream."

He probably dropped someting in his pants.

I've nooticed that Marvel has been doing a lot of retcons, with the Illuminati, Winter Soldier, Thor's DNA in civil war etc.

I don't know why they can't leave Beyonder alone. First he's the most powerful entity in the multiverse. then he was a hoax. now he's a stupid mutant/ inhuman. It doesn't make sense. I guess the WWH stuff went over so well they need the Illuminati to play with another Marvel power. I was a big fan of the Secret war stuff. and I wanted him to stay that way. And could Xavier even get into The Beyonders head in the secret wars?

they should have made the beyonder the incarnation of the writer of the comic

Aw man, I'm getting pissed again over this.  I'm trying to act as if it didn't happen.

Double Aw Man!  I had erased that from my memory.  It was just in a single issue of FF.  I don't buy either of those.  He simply is from beyond.  End of story.
