The Beyonder took his message seriously, and indeed it was an experience that he recalled several times throughout the rest of his time on Earth.
Later, as Beyonder walked through some slums, he met some heroin dealers. Since he was still somewhat naive, and often intentionally limited his awareness of the world in order to experience things more like a true human would, they were able to draw him into their tenement, telling him that they could provide him with true happiness through their drug.
In fact, they intended to give him an overdose and rob him. Cloak and Dagger followed, and took down the dealers, but not before they had given him the heroin.
It is only when the last of those who promised him happiness have been chilled to the core by darkness, or shocked by the purest light, that he deigns to ask Cloak Dagger...
"Why?" Beyonder asked them.
"Why what?" Dagger asked in confusion.
"Why have you hurt those whose only desire was to grant me happiness? I sought completeness- contentment they offered to give it to me. You interfered, denied me that which I desire, yet to tell me," He asked both of them.
"Those who offer others happiness are good! Those who deny others happiness are evil! According to your own morality then, you must be punished" Angry at Cloak and Dagger for stopping the drug dealers, he used his powers to cancel out their powers, turning them both human again.
But instead of being angry, both of them were actually thankful for this. Beyonder then let the heroin affect him, and was stunned at how horrible the experience was.
Beyonder then stopped the effects, and decided to punish the dealers instead, erasing them-and all other drug dealers-from existence.
While Cloak and Dagger had in the past acted as judge, jury, and executioners for many drug dealers, they realized now that this was going too far, and that perhaps some of them might have reformed, if they had been given more mercy.
After listening to Cloak and Dagger's arguments, the Beyonder agreed, and brought the drug dealers all back to life, then left.
"He is gone!" Cloak said looking all of the drug dealers revived back.
"And all the problems of the world remain!" Dagger said.
"For we who possess powers that make us something other than human to solve as humanely as possible," Cloak explained.
"Did we choose wrongly Cloak? I mean the problem of drugs-perhaps every problem afflicting mankind could have been solved with a snap of that... beyonder's fingers! Maybe we should have let him take care of us…" Dagger said.
"As if we were children," Cloak said, as they again decided to solve the problem in their own way, since Beyonder had returned their powers.
Beyonder finally turned his life around and decided to take a more positive, proactive approach. He built an enormous tower filled with his favorite gadgets in Sparta, Illinois. One of the local residents, Dave, a down-on-his luck local reporter, saw it and ran to see what was going on.
"Hello!" Beyonder greeted him.
"Uh... Hi! Are-are you the one I saw f-flying?" Dave asked him.
"Yep! That's me! What can I do for you?" Beyonder asked him.
"If you don't mind, I- like to ask you a few questions… L-like who are you? How do you fly? How did this building get here so quickly?" Dave asked.
"People call me the Beyonder! I'm a champion of life! I'm from-wait a minute…" Beyond that, he stopped and took out a gadget, he gave the information of gadgets, "I've got a little gadget here that'll show you my story! I love gadgets! I call this a mento-projector!"
"Ah! See? There I am in my own universel That white blankness is me. I didn't have any physical form then, but I was back there- didn't even know that anything else existed until…" Beyonder starts giving the details about him.
"There! See that black burst? Some cosmic event poked open a pinhole into mine! Through the pinhole I saw the Earth! I watched, fascinated!"
"Here I am, sometime laber, on Park Avenue! I took human form and came here to study this many-layered universe– especially this thing called desire, which is ubiquitous here but but was news to mel"
"That's me, after experiencing desire, trying to fulfill it, and falling! I was miserable!"
"Then I heard of a guy who might be able to help me-a sage... a mystic... a. sorcerer. No one seemed to know much about him! The few who knew of him at all spoke his name, no kidding, in whispers! That's him-Doctor Strange!"
"So I started looking for him-rather drunkenly- and amazingly enough, I found him! He is far more, far greater than any in your multiverse suspect, as it turns out!"
"At first, for a moment, he had me at a disadvantage! I was drunk, disoriented... uncaring! He might have been able to zap me off into a pocket dimension some- place, keep me constantly inebriated, and thus rid your multiverse of me forever! But instead he had acted as a role model, showing how I could be a champion of life like Strange," Beyonder explained his plan.
"Wow... but... what does that mean?" Dave asked, he was amazed by seeing the Beyonder history, but he didn't know, Beyonder didn't reveal his shameful past of getting killed by Ben.
"Well, in simple terms, as the universe goes along, there is a constant struggle taking place between life and death! Ultimately, either all things will die and the Universe will reach total Entropy, or all the inhabitants of the Universe will evolve into Godlike, Immortal beings and death will be vanquished! I'm siding with the forces of life!" Beyonder tried to explain.
"Uh- huh…" Dave became more confused.
"It helps if you think of death as a being who is in constant combat with other beings who represent life! Come on, I'll show you!" Beyonder said, as he formed some images, which made Dave more amazed.
"These are the images of some of the main partici-pants in the life/ death struggle! There are many more, of course!"
"Chaos and Order represent the internal struggle of life-the randomness and confusion versus the patterns and cycles of existence!"
"Eon is the guardian, the self-preservation instinct of all living things personified! He's the most bitter and active foe of death! Against them stands Death! Death has no allies, and needs none... but it has lovers," Beyonder explained, as he moved to the next image.
"Such as Mephisto! He is evil, suffering, and pain incarnate! He thrives upon death, whom he ever attends, and yet is served by!"
"The In-Bettweener divides these opposing forces and is the division between them personified! Eternity is the sum of all these... and represents the universe itself, which contains them!
"Lastly, the Living Tribunal stands apart and is the judge of the mighty! He has the very bond which inextricably links them together- and he rules upon disputes among them!" Beyonder explained the many mighty Entity works, which he gains from the Dr. Strange.
"Are those guys... for real?" Dave asked, looking at them.
"Not in the sense that you and I are! They're conceptual beings-insubstantial as an idea yet powerful beyond imagining! Actual beings, especially lesser ones like you, have trouble conceiving of them much less understanding them! What you saw were their essences expressed in representational forms that you can relate to!" Beyonder cleared his confusion.
"This is over my head," Dave said, he still didn't understand what these things are, but what things he understands, he put a proposal, "B-But i think i got one thing clearly-! You're out to help preserve life! You're one of the good guys! I think that's great! I-I've already dreamed of doing what you're doing! something noble... something important! The heck with journalism! I want to help you! Here's what I have in mind…"
The next day, as a huge tsunami, given birth by a major earthquake at sea, thunders toward the port city of Perth, Australia. But Beyonder comes there and immediately stops the tsunami.
Like this he started saving the World from different problems, and also the other planets in the Galaxy, while Dave and many other reporters started showing each of Beyonder's works to the world.
Beyonder gained massive fame, but he didn't understand whether he likes this or not, but still for Dave's happiness, he is doing this.
But suddenly he is visited by Reed Richards and Captain America, asking him to stop, or the people of earth may forget how to take care of themselves.
"Is there nothing for me? No role, no place in the Universe, no suitable purpose?" Beyonder asked, looking at them.
Dave quickly brings out the device, which showed their thoughts on a screen, he said the Earth heroes were just jealous, and that the Beyonder would be the greatest hero of them all-that only Death itself had anything to fear from the Beyonder, and the heroes certainly had no reason to worry.
