Taking on an amalgamated form of all the superhumans from Battleworld, he confronted the Molecule Man and his girlfriend Volcana. Professor X realized the Beyonder was on Earth, and sent a telepathic distress signal to Captain America before passing out from the strain. In Owen's apartment, the Beyonder stated his desires to understand and experience. Volcana suggested he go to Los Angeles to do so, and he teleported there. Elsewhere, the X-Men and their new leader Magneto made plans to find the Beyonder, who had arrived in Los Angeles, and was intrigued by the telephone conversation of Stewart Cadwell. Stewart was awed by the Beyonder's powers and wished to have some for his own, and the Beyonder complied, transforming him into Thundersword. As Thundersword battled the X-Men, the New Mutants, Captain America and Iron Man, Rachel Summers of the X-Men sensed the Beyonder's hidden presence. He was puzzled by the dual nature of Magik and when he touched her, he drew forth her Darkchilde side. Magik/Darkchilde teleported herself and the New Mutants away, and Wolverine attacked the Beyonder, slashing the new form that was a duplicate of Molecule Man's which he had taken. Upset, the Beyonder teleported the X-Men away as well. Captain America and Iron Man defeated Thundersword, but when Cap tried to talk to the Beyonder, the being turned invisible. Wanting to learn and experience, he began to follow an unwitting Cap. (Secret Wars II v1 #1) Still using a replica of Molecule Man's body, the Beyonder studied the New Mutants. While observing some of them at the Gladiator's Arena, he noticed Dazzler Alison Blaire and something he could not understand stirred inside of him.

The Beyonder reached into her mind to understand her, but the experience began to affect her and Cannonball of the New Mutants whisked her away from him whereupon he then teleported away.

(Captain America v1 #308) The Beyonder returned to New York City, where Rachel Summers witnessed him walk through the wall of the business. The Beyonder questioned the man behind the counter about the purpose of food, and Rachel confronted him, realizing who he was.

He secretly followed Rachel, intrigued by the amount of power she held, seeing her as similar to himself. At Xavier's School, Rachel again sensed the Beyonder's presence, but when she tried to mindlink to Xavier and Magneto, it tripped a device left behind by mutant-haters and caused her power to go haywire. When a berzerk Rachel sought out the would-be killers, Magneto stopped her from killing them. The Beyonder was puzzled by the way both had so much power, but chose to use it in lesser ways. He decided that to learn how to experience this conundrum was to become human. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #196) | ||

The Beyonder took human form and traveled to Earth, landing near Denver, Colorado. Taking on an amalgamated form of all the superhumans from Battleworld, he confronted the Molecule Man and his girlfriend Volcana. Professor X realized the Beyonder was on Earth, and sent a telepathic distress signal to Captain America before passing out from the strain. In Owen's apartment, the Beyonder stated his desires to understand and experience. Volcana suggested he go to Los Angeles to do so, and he teleported there. Elsewhere, the X-Men and their new leader Magneto made plans to find the Beyonder, who had arrived in Los Angeles, and was intrigued by the telephone conversation of Stewart Cadwell.
