The Beyonders were the Celestials' own fail-safe because they recognized the danger they themselves posed. That's a rather elegant and imaginative retcon to resolve Fraction's take on the Celestials during Defenders vol.4, Hickman's take on the Celestials during Time Runs Out and Ewing's take on the Celestials from The Ultimates 2.
It wasn't too long ago I saw the "Cube Beings have infinie power, and Celestials have even greater infinite powers," argument with the scan from Fantastic Four Annual #26 attatched.
Now we know that the Adaptoids, Cube Beings, Beyonders are just as powerful as the Celestials, and as of Time Runs Out could wipe out all of Marvel.
In fantastic four annual 26 Kubik speculates that the celestials come from a realm beyond the multiverse and that it is possibly the same realm as the Beyonders. Now that it is known that the Beyonders are creations of the Celestials, I guess the speculation that Kubik made 30 years ago starts to make sense and both Celestials and Beyonders come from the second cosmos and the second cosmos or the remnants of the second cosmos is what was previously known as the Beyond realm? https://imgur.com/I8Uumao

Either way the Riddle of the Celestials chapter adds anything to the mythos that hasn't been contradicted, so there's no point in referencing it.

Just trying to connect some things, Ewing seems to be versed in the old stories, so the beyond realm is actually the second cosmos

it seems that unlike in the past, now Beyonder implied that there are realms where even he is not powerful enough and that the white hot room is a higher dimension.
But it's important to note that the Omega Men we saw used finite incarnations of themselves. That's why Loki could mess around with them through his narrative manipulation and why the Blue Marvel could blow a hole in the head of one of them with anti-matter.
Late to the party, but Defenders: Beyond #2 was pretty good. It was interesting to see Ewing go full-meta at times, but he pulled it off pretty well, imo. 👆
Originally posted by AstnerThe Beyonder was still a "Beyonder" under Hickman as well -- but he was just a "child unit" back in SW(which is mentioned in this issue.) He's apparently all grown up now, though still clearly unstable to some extent(the other Beyonders even refer to him as "The Broken One".) But the revelation that the Celestials actually created the Beyonders as fail-safes is... Interesting?
It seems like Ewing wants to make sense of the Marvel cosmos. The Beyonder is a Beyonder again, the Beyonders are retconned into creations of the Celestials that with powers rivaling the Celestial's, and in the next issue we'll explore the Phoenix's White Hot Room.
The WHR evidently sits "beyond the beyond", so I won't at all be surprised if it is revealed that the PF > Beyonders.
Originally posted by carver9you’re right it should be a low showing for Superman.
So Jane Thor matching Odin is a terrible showing for Odin, Thor and Hyperion hurting Beyonders makes them/Beyonders trash but a powerless Superman beating up a supposedly skyfather is a high showjng for Superman? KMC at its finest.

Grow up Whirly your manner belies your age 😱 😂
For someone who doesnt take this forum seriously you're certainly going to a lot of effort to change forum opinion 😮
Anyone who reads Xmen will know exactly what happened there and i also provided the explanation of featured events in the thread which Whirly took that image. But coincidentally i see that post has been left out. I wonder why? 😕 😮 😆

Are you seriously complaining about a double standard you yourself have utilized on a ****ton of occasions?
Of course you are. Why am I not surprised.
@Diesldude
It seems that Superman would be revealed to have an upgrade in the following issue, based on the official press.
In the aftermath of Superman’s epic Warworld Revolution, the Man of Steel is back on Earth and stronger than he’s ever been!
So it is possible it will turn out to be a "Superman Up, UP, And Away" version that Superman finds his powers were improved when they returned
