But unknown to Ben and the heroes, the cosmic particles which have gone on a different Universe, have changed into the Beyonder. He was alive, as he crash landed on the earth near Denver.
In this Universe, Owen Reece and Marsha Rosenberg known as Volcana live together.
Molecule Man seems to think that something is amiss and looks out the window. Volcana calls him back into their apartment to watch television, but the reception soon breaks up.
They look outside to find boulders and earth flying through the air. Volcana overreacts, destroying one boulder, but sets their apartment on fire in the process.
Molecule Man puts the fire out and ventures outside to find the cause of the strange phenomenon.
On Muir Isle, Professor Xavier cries out in pain. He can sense the presence of the Beyonder, he is the same Professor X who has transported to Battleworld with his X-Men.
"What, the Beyonder is alive, but he is weak. X-Men ready to battle," Professor X commands and is determined to organize an attack. While his son, David Haller, plays with building blocks on the floor.
The Professor tells Moira to get Magneto to lead his X-Men into battle. The Professor also sends out a telepathic call to Captain America. Captain is on a passenger jet, flying coach when he receives the message.
Immediately he asks the pilot to divert their course. The pilot agrees since Cap saved his platoon during the war, but asks that Cap take the heat by announcing the change in course to the passengers.
Back at the scene, when Molecule Man goes to check what's happening near him, he finds a being of the cosmic lights was standing there.
Beyonder looks back to Molecule Man and finds this was the different Molecule Man and even he was stronger than the one which he has teleported in the Battleworld.
Since both the Molecule and Beyonder have the same power, Beyonder quickly merged the Molecule Man inside himself, and started gaining the powers and experience of Molecule Man, meanwhile, his rest of the powers also returned back towards him.
"Hahahaha, you have thought, you can kill me, you humans can't even imagine the powers which belong to the beyond of your thinking," Beyonder laughed as he was thinking, what is the reaction of Ben, when he finds out that Beyonder was alive.
"But, I need to safely experience how the humans lived, how they think and how they fight, and also keep myself hidden from Ben Tennyson," Beyonder thought and came back to the mansion where Volcana is.
Since Beyonder has already taken over the memories of Molecule Man, he was easily able to pretend to be him. With seeks to understand how humans work, Beyonder travels towards Los Angeles where he can have many experiences.
In Westchester, Nightcrawler and Colossus are arguing with Magneto about the Professor's plan for Magneto to lead the X-Men.
Suddenly the remaining X-Men crash in through the window to get Magneto, but Nightcrawler and Colossus fights to protect him.
They all listen to what he has to say, and tentatively agree to join him against the Beyonder. They all climb into a limousine and Magneto uses his powers to make the vehicle fly out west.
In Hollywood, the Beyonder appears in the office of Stewart Cadwall, a fed-up, cynical script writer. Cadwall was panicked to see the light appear on his desk. "Jeez, it's coming right at me! Get back Get Back! What do you want?" He shouted at the light.
Then the lights turned into the Molecule Man, but it was Beyonde in the appearance of Molecule Man. "I desire to understand!" He replied.
"Holy! Uh… I… I'm Stewart Cadwall! This is my girlfriend Marian! Who are you?" Cadwall asked Beyonder.
"I am from Beyond! In my realm, I am all! But here is multiplicity… Here is diversity… Here is incompleteness Which I do not understand! I desire to understand!" Beyonder replied.
"To understand is so important! Knowledge is not understanding! Experience is the best teacher! I can do anything!"
Beyonder said and then he demonstrated his powers by he transforms Cadwall's desk and scripts into a massive pile of apples.
"Hey! My desk! My word processor! My script! A whole weekend's work turned into apples!" Cadwall said as he started the Beyonder.
"Apples! He made your desk into apples!" Marian said, as she picked one apple and ate it, "Not bad! A little sour," She compliments.

Meanwhile across Los Angeles, Magneto lifts the roof of a gladiatorial arena, where some of the New Mutants are fighting. He summons them to come to his aid. Cannonball, Magik, Dazzler and Cannonball's rockstar girlfriend Lila Cheney follow, but Magma Sunspot remains behind.
Magneto then commands Rachel Summers to use her telepathy and locate the Beyonder.
Although uncomfortable at using her powers to once again hunt down a powered being, she soon locates a man of great power in Hollywood.
At the moment in Stewart Cadwall's apartment. "Let me get this straight, you could do anything you want. But you didn't know what you want? But I know what I want! Boy, if I had power! You want to see some desire made into reality? Why don't you give me some power?" Cadwall convinces the Beyonder to give him immense power.
"I shall," Beyonder agreed and then he transforms Cadwell's Shazam trophy into a sword shaped like a lightning bolt, and the rest of him becomes a superhero like something from one of the Saturday morning cartoons that he used to write.
"Geez! This beats dieting! Marian! Look at me babe! He made me into what I've always fantasized, a crusading superhero! Behold Thunder Sword!" Cadwall expresses his happiness, but he notices Marian is sleeping, pouring water on his happiness.
"I'll show her later! Right now I've got things to do!" Cadwall said, and as Thundersword, he summons a pegasus, Boromir, and starts to attack all the studios who had rejected his scripts.
There he encounters the X-Men's flying limousine. They attack Thundersword, believing him to be the Beyonder. Magneto has Rachel telepathically connect him to all the X-Men so he can give them orders instantly.
The X-Men begrudgingly listen to his commands, even though they were already doing what he had instructed them to before he had told them.
Thundersword's attention is drawn to a local McDonald's, but his attack against junk food accidentally causes the neighboring apartment building to catch on fire. Rachel telepathically commands the tenants to flee.
Captain America pleads with his taxi driver to go faster, while Iron Man suits up to be ready for combat. Just as burning debris is about to fall on a mother son, Captain America dives to protect them with his Vibranium-alloy shield.
Thundersword appears to fight Captain America and the junk culture he believes he represents. Cap leads the heroes' attack: his shield draws Thundersword's attention, and Dazzler follows up with a blinding flurry of lights. Magneto tries to finish things off by dumping dozens and dozens of cars on Thundersword, but he is able to deflect them.
Rachel Summers begins to sense another being. Feeling around in thin-air, she suddenly finds herself face-to-face with the Beyonder.
The Beyonder approaches Magik and plunges his hand into her chest. He then draws out the physical manifestation of her hidden demonic soul, the Darkchilde.
Magik panics and creates a teleportation disc that whirles herself away from the Beyonder's grasp, taking Cannonball, Shadowcat, Rachel and Dazzler with her.
Wolverine goes into a berserker rage and lunges at the Beyonder. The other X-Men pull him back, but not in time to stop him from slashing his Adamantium claws across the Beyonder's face and into his chest.
The heroes all fear the Beyonder's reaction, but he merely stands there. Lila Cheney panics and teleports the remaining X-Men across the galaxy.
Captain America is distracted by the X-Men's disappearance, and Thundersword is able to strike him from behind. As he is about to deliver a killing blow, Iron Man arrives and saves Captain America.
Iron Man's armor's readings detect that Thundersword's power is derived from his thunderbolt-shaped sword. With that knowledge, it is easy for Captain America to disarm Thundersword by throwing his shield.
Once he is separated from his sword, Cadwall returns to normal and breaks down in tears, despondent at how he has destroyed his employer's studios. Captain America and Iron Man agree that he should be given psychiatric help.
Meanwhile, the Beyonder decides that he wants more experiences. When he watched Dazzler in action, he felt something move inside of him.
Then, when Wolverine slashed his face, he experienced something directly instead of just watching it.
He quickly realizes that being in a fight is different from watching one on television. He turns himself invisible, and begins to closely follow Captain America.
Perhaps simultaneously, Beyonder invisibly observed the New Mutants, who had since returned from Limbo. Rachel was occasionally able to feel his presence, but couldn't get a lock on him. He was at this time still wearing the face of the Molecule Man.
While watching them, his attention was drawn to Dazzler singing at a mutant battle arena-his first contact with her. He then appeared to Rachel, Cannonball, and Magik.
Illyana wanted to attack him, but Rachel stopped her and instead tried to psychically bond with him in an attempt to communicate. Her mind was opened to his infinity and majesty, which she felt must be like her mother's experience as Dark Phoenix. Having apparently learned all he wanted to know, the Beyonder then left abruptly.
