Originally posted by Omega VisionSo what is if any is the relationship between Nemesis, the Infinity Being, and TOAA?
TOAA created the Infinity Being/Nemesis
and all things that have ever been born/made in the Omniverse.
TOAA did this with the stroke of its pencil.
(that's the way TOAA's power works: two beings, one thinks up the story & the other draws them)
Classic Beyonder was not created by TOAA,
because the Beyonder always was,
and the Beyonder also encompassed a reality disconnected from the TOAA's Omniverse.
This is why Jim Shooter (TOAA & more in 1985)
claimed that Beyonder discovered him as well as the Marvel Omniverse.
He even states "we introduced the Beyonder & established
he had discovered these beings - us - we was studying"
he never even alludes to creating the fictional illustration known as the Beyonder,
and in fact Shooter instead makes himself part of the drop of water
that was the Marvelverse in comparison with the Beyonder.
This again is Shooter's attempt at making the Beyonder seem like something real
something like he's only telling the story about.
This literally separates TOAA from the Beyonder. (on panel)
(even though yes, in reality/the real world us readers know it was Shooter who created Beyonder)
But in the comic book reality (anything published by/within Marvel)
Beyonder was greater than even Shooter's existence within comics,
and that existence ... is that of TOAA. 🙂

Jim Shooter - creator/writer of Secret Wars/Beyonder
(while he was Editor in chief of Marvel)
Get's interviewed ... about the Beyonder.

Marvel Age is an official Marvel title,
created to discuss Marvel stories with the writers themselves of said stories
and even other intricacies concerning Marvel comics.

Jim Shooter himself describes Classic Beyonder to us:
Jim states:
1. Beyonder "is a Multi-verse."
2. Beyonder "was like God before there was Genesis."
3. Beyonder's discovery of our Universe ... (Marvel Multiverse)
.... was like when inventor Leeuwenhoek, looked through his micro-scope ...
.... and discovered little paramecia swimming in a drop of water ... "
swank
This is why Beyonder had to be retconned, (de-powered)
by the next Editor in Chief (Tom DeFalco)
Beyonder was simply too much grandeur and power.
