Huh? Not sure how the character has grown over the years but The Beyonder created the first Secret Wars decades ago. He mutilated worlds to manufacture a makeshift battlefield for the heroes and villains to fight, just for his sick amusement. That is pretty evil and villainous in my opinion.

To Me, the Beyonder acted and reacted more out of curiosity than one just wanting to destroy anything that was life .

Ironically that same driven curiosity is what got him killed by the Molecule Man when the Beyonder wanted to experience newborn birth from scratch, living him
completely powerless and helpless.

Frankly I wished Marvel had kept it as just he as the lone Beyonder instead of a horde race of Beyonders.

That I agree with.

I was thinking the Netflix/streaming thread would be more appropriate.

If it were a few posts, like practically all subdiscussions about various streaming series are posted within that thread? I agree with you 100%. If it were a number of posts (probably inspired by a Trek nerd like me), I disagree. Plus, the excess posts would likely be moved to another thread such as ~drumroll~ this one!

The I hereby put forth the motion that this thread be redubbed "Nerd Zone: For all nerdy things comic, movie, etc"

lol @ Blue Beetle's honorable mention. That exoskeleton is some of the most formidable weaponry ever created in comics.

I don't get how Doctor Doom's armor... is ranked above Tony Stark's Iron Man Armor ?

I don't get how Doctor Doom's armor... is ranked above Tony Stark's Iron Man Armor ?

Victor Von Doom may not be as smart as Reed Richards but he is a super genius. His armor has never been as flashy as Tony Stark's models but it is simplistic in design, ultra-durable (has withstood many a 'IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!' poundings), and armed to the teeth. Plus, it is partially infused with magical properties (or that was the case several decades ago I think)

Stark builds many variations of armor to answer any adversarial problem he has experienced or can foresee. Doom simply upgrades his armor to match his near limitless imagination.

It plays like a Robot Chicken clip but it is not nearly as witty.

Anthony Mackie Says Marvel Sequel ‘Captain America: Brave New World​

By Lucas Manfredi | The Wrap
August 3, 2023

<snip>

“It kind of brought my Marvel experience full circle because we shot in D.C. at the same hotel that we shot ‘Winter Soldier’ at,” the actor told TheWrap during an interview conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike. “One of my first Marvel scenes was me sitting at a table talking to the senator and me and Chris [Evans] and Scarlett [ Johansson] kidnapping him and we go back and we stay at the same hotel and we shot at that same area. So in that regard, it was really emotional to think how far my character has come and where he is now after the 10 years that I’ve been in the MCU.”

The 15 Darkest Marvel Comics Ever​

By Mayra Garcia | CBR
July 30, 2023

<snip>

Marvel's most mature stories are usually explicitly violent and include graphic content. However, violence isn't the only trait that makes a comic dark. These comics explore mature topics of all kinds. They sometimes delve into the very core of human nature. What truly makes these the darkest Marvel comics is the profound despair and hopelessness they convey.

Updated on July 30th, 2022 by Mayra Garcia: Contrary to popular belief, comics aren't for kids. In fact, plenty of Marvel comics would traumatize a minor due to the kind of topics they touch. This list has been updated to add more stories that remind fans Marvel can be bleak too.

Doctor Doom's Armor Is Even More Powerful Than Iron Man's​

BYJON OLSEN

" Doctor Doom's titanium armor is infused with enough science and sorcery to make it one of the most powerful artifacts in the Marvel Universe.

. Doctor Doom's armor is a nuclear-powered, computer-assisted titanium battle suit that was created in a magical forge in a Tibetan monastery.

By any measure, Tony Stark has the most popular armors in the Marvel Universe. But while Iron Man might win most popularity contests, Doctor Doom's armor is just as powerful as anything in Tony Stark's armory.
Doom's armor is far more lethal than Iron Man's thanks to the slippery moral boundaries of its wearer "

Doom's armor was capable of storing the Beyonder's power. No set of Iron Man armor could do that.
