    Greetings to all readers,
	I have a possible explanation of what the Beyonder might
be and will throw it into the conversations and see what happens.
	As we saw in Secret Wars #1, on the way to the galaxy, an entire
galaxy was seemingly destroyed and a single planet was erected for the
Secret Wars. Many peoples like Dr. Doom and Reed Richards were put
into awe and thought that the being must be of incredible might and
intelligence.
	The Beyonder must be a being of power and has some kind of
intelligence, or atleast we are to believe.  How can the readers be
so sure that the Beyonder isn't an extension of Eternity.  For Eternity,
as defined in the Marvel Universe is the life form made up by all
life forms in all the galaxies in the universe.
	Eternity was summoned by both Galactus and the Watcher in
Fantastis Four #263.  As most Marvelites will remember, Galactus
called him "father".  Why couldn't it be possible that Eternity has taken
another form and wants to see if members of good and evil are brought
and the winnings of anythings they want up for grabs.  Would good as
so put conquer over evil?
	The only other explanation of what the Beyonder could be
(and that would seem somewhat logical) would be another supposed son
of Eternity.  Then that would show why Galactus couldn't get near
the energy mass.
	In that way, we could surmise that Galactus and the Beyonder
are of the same fabric of life, they are both made of cosmic energy.
Only, the Beyonder can control the flow of energy while Galactus must
take it in relatively small doses, like a diabetic with insulin.

				Sincerely,
				   Paul Simmington

P.S.  Has anyone ever wondered why Galactus didn't try to absorb
    some of the energy that the Beyonder was trying to hold Galactus
    off with.  He could have continued, seeing that he would digest
    the energy at will.
      Some people would see Galactus as a man that was given energy
    and a curse, of that he is really a a cosmic being with gifts.
    In my opinion, I think Galactus can never really be defeated, since
    now he has in his possession the Ultimate Nullifier.
