Originally posted by Batman-Prime This wasn't in secret wars, (Phoenix) it was in an X-Men comic,
I only had it as an TPB in german^^.
Maybe I will go into the cellar an search for it,
but I'm sure you know which scene i mean
I sure do, and it is a tie-in to Secret Wars II,
so indeed, it was part of the Secret Wars II saga.
The Facts:
======================================
While wielding the Full power of the PF,
Rachel had just touched the life of every common being in the universe,
their desires, their pains, their dreams ect.
When Beyonder took back the power he gave Rachel,
she threw back at him the experiences of every common being in the universe,
Beyonder was overwhelmed because he experienced every single individual life simultaneously,
he had no idea common folk could be so precious.

The on panel proof:
......................................................................................
Rachel (Full PF) touches every common being in the Universe:
You can read them completely but this excerpt from those scans says it all:
"She touches everyone, she experiences their dreams,
their yearnings, their terrors,
all they were and are and hope to be,
the totality of their beings"
......................................................................................
Rachel also freaks out from the experience, but Storm is there to console her:
......................................................................................
Rachel was never able to hurt Beyonder physically in any way shape or form:
"You are what you are solely because I will it"
......................................................................................
This is when Beyonder takes the Full power of the Phoenix Force back:
What is it that Beyonder can't stop,
what is it that overwhelmed Beyonder?
What Rachel had just collected from every individual.
"He sought power --- but this is far more --
All that Phoenix experienced
the totality of Life, in all its forms"
Which is why Storm says,
"We each have our little lives, our destinies, our unique paths to walk"
......................................................................................
Beyonder even appreciated learning of the preciousness of individual life:
"Thank you for what you have shown me this night,
it is strange --- but I find myself envying your ... Humanity"
======================================
Did I mention?
This is all concerning Beyonder after he self-imposed limitations on himself,
to fit in with microbes that were the LT, Eternity, and all the rest of Marvel.
