Secret Wars II 1985 #8 Direct ed. - back issue - $3.00

Frustrated by his time on Earth, the Beyonder consults with the Molecule Man and talks about everything that has happened to him. Disgusted by the affection Volcana shows to Owen (and angry that he cannot find love or purpose himself), the Beyonder throws a fit and vows to destroy the multiverse in twenty-four hours. Owen panics and futilely tries to prepare for doomsday. Feeling backed into a corner, he attacks the Beyonder with all of his powers (not knowing that Spider-Man has already talked the big B out of his destructive plans). The Beyonder decides to go ahead and annihilate everything.

• Betrayal! - Owen learns that it was the accident that transformed him into Molecule Man that alerted the Beyonder to the existence of Earth. Continued in the New Mutants (Marvel, 1983 series) #37, the Amazing Spider-Man (Marvel, 1963 series) #274, the Avengers (Marvel, 1963 series) #265, the Uncanny X-Men (Marvel, 1981 series) #203 and Fantastic Four (Marvel, 1961 series) #288.
