@tristan95: A cosmic entity called the Beyonder observes the mainstream Marvel universe. Fascinated by the presence of superheroes on Earth and their potential, this entity chooses a group of both heroes and supervillains and teleports characters against their will to "Battleworld", a planet created by the Beyonder in a distant galaxy. This world has also been stocked with alien weapons and technology.
Secret Wars sucked. I read it a couple years back because of all the hype and it was horrible. All the characters were so out of context and character. I gave up on it when all of a sudden the Lizard rescues the Wasp and has some sort of crush on her and starts to act all civilized. The whole point of the lizard is the untamed beast side of Dr. Conners. Also it was just one stupid battle after the next that just ended up in one team running from the other to stretch out the series. Then the one good part with all the awesome build up to Galactus just ends and goes no where. It was all just to sell toys. Plus there was absolutey no answer or resolve given about the Beyonder at all unitl the second Secret Wars which was even worse.
