In the pages of Marvel Comics, the Beyonder is a member of the race of the same name who becomes fascinated with Earth. He creates a planet called Battleworld and forces various heroes and villains from the Marvel roster to duke it out there for his amusement. To interact more directly with humanity, he eventually takes on a human form and walks among the beings he’d spent so long observing. The pertinent detail here is that the Beyonder is his own individual, not another Marvel Comics antagonist in disguise. However, for his MCU adaptation, that could very well change.
In their social media post regarding the Beyonder supposedly arriving in the MCU, MyTimeToShineHello mentions that the Beyonder is Marvel Studios’ ticket to recasting Kang. If this is indeed the case, it can be inferred that the MCU’s Beyonder might be a vastly powerful Kang variant. Perhaps somewhere in the ever-expanding multiverse, a version of Kang has reached a level of omnipotence unlike any of his other variants, transforming from a mere master of multiverse travel and conqueror of timelines to an all-seeing, all-knowing entity that exists outside time and space.
Could this solve the Kang problem? MCU fans will no doubt learn what the future holds for Kang and potentially the Beyonder as “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars” inch closer to their respective release dates.
