The Ghost Who Walks
I know that you know a lot of the Beyonder Galan, probably more than me--correction, you do know more than me about the Beyonder.

Anyways, from what I've understand I would place Pre-retcon Beyonder along with the Heart, the avatar of Jack Kirby (and thr Pre-retcon Red Brother)
I would do that because Beyonder was supose to represent the power the writers had over the comics.
Not to mention his power fluxuated wildely, but it was often explained with the he imposed limitations on himself.
For instance, Beyonder had millions of times more power than all the beings in Marvel combinded.
Then his realm was said to be a ocean, if the Multiverse was a drop.
- I think they made so that Beyonder limited himself for the purpose of describing his power under limitations, and the stories wouldn't be as interesting if he was potrayed as infinite in every aspect, therefore he imposed limitations on himself. For instance we cannot grasp the concept of infinity. We have a very hard time to picture the mass of the water in comparison to a drop, but it's a lot easier than grasping infinity.
They even said that the universe Beyonder created was a infinity times bigger than the multiverse of Marvel.
Here are some interesting scans.
Beyonder himself, referes to himself as omnipotent, and to him a microbe and the most powerful cosmics are equally as 'weak'
And here Molecule man (who was about to be as powerful as the Beyonder) confesses that as Captain America couldn't comperhend the power of him, he couldn't comperhend the power of the Beyonder.
So Beyonder is to Molecule man, as Molecule man is to Captain America
