* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: Averted. A very naive Beyonder is told by [[ComicBook/LukeCageHeroForHire Power Man]] that money -- or the lack thereof -- is the root of most all problems in the world, and that money is a stand-in for gold (though his partner [[ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist Iron Fist]] mentions they haven't been on the gold standard for years). The Beyonder, wishing to make everyone happy, turns ''an entire skyscraper into gold''... which quickly collapses in on itself. Several crossover issues explore the ramifications this has on the world economy. ([[spoiler:The government ends up covering up the event and throwing the excess gold into a sea trench.]])

This was believed to have been a TakeThat to Jim Shooter after he left Marvel, although Steve Englehart [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=5785 reported that this was editorial interference.]]

The plot follows the return of [[CosmicEntity The Beyonder]], the being who started the first Secret Wars, who comes to Earth in search of enlightenment and inevitably comes into conflict with Earth's metahumans and the cosmic entities that exist in the Marvel Universe. It tries to become human, help people, learn how to love etc. but keeps failing, and his frustration turns him into a menace. He is eventually dealt with, although the heroes also have to prevent the destruction of the planet as a consequence of his actions.
