* WorfHadTheFlu: His death in ''Ultimates'' vol. 2 comes right after Master Order notes that the new multiverse means all the old rules, like the ones saying he's in charge, are currently uncertain. Cue sneak attack.

* RogueDrone: Most of the other Beyonders are pretty uniform. ''The'' Beyonder, thanks to his time with Earth's heroes, has a bit more understanding of humans and how they work. If he's really putting in the effort, he tries to talk more casual to reassure folks.
