A Form You Are Comfortable With: The Beyonders take on human form to interact with the humans (and Loki and and Taaia). The Beyonder goes one step further, taking his original appearance from Secret Wars II, jheri curl and all. | |

Even More Omnipotent | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_1d375b63 | comment |
Even More Omnipotent: The Beyonder, whose race the comic establishes to have unlimited power — case in point them more-or-less effortlessly slaughtering the Celestials and other cosmic entities in the lead up to Secret Wars (2015), admits upfront that he would certainly lose to the Phoenix Force, especially when he's in the White Hot Room. In Issue #5, Adam asks the One Above All if he really is above all. The One Above All deflects the question, but he does mention "the storyteller", who Tigra asks if that is him or someone else. | |

Sequel Series | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_1ee33a59 | comment |
Sequel Series: Although the cast has almost entirely changed, it’s effectively a sequel to the Defenders (2021) series, also by Ewing and Rodriguez. In addition, it's also a loose sequel to Ewing and Lee Garbett's Loki: Agent of Asgard (as it's picking up pre-Secret Wars Loki's storyline almost literally from where it left off in 2015). | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: A very meta case. The "creatures of the pre-creation" The One Above All summons are monsters from the horror comics Marvel published from Fantastic Four #1, which established the Marvel Universe as we know it. So they're "pre-creation" not in the sense that they're older than the Marvel Universe in-universe, but out of universe. | |

Spoiler Cover: Downplayed.

It's the Beyonder. The cover for issue #3 shows Taaia as the Phoenix, spoiling the reveal and Wham Shot at the end of the previous issue. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The Beyonder writes off his behavior in Secret Wars (1984) as him being a kid who'd learned about the world from watching toy commercials, mashing them together. A pretty apt metaphor since that event was mostly written to improve toy sales. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: On hearing the true identity of the Masked Raider, the major reveal of the previous Defenders series, Blue Marvel says Night Thrasher had already guessed it, a nod to how the two had been investigating the mystery through Marvel Comics #1000. As the spell goes over Adam's history, behind it are images of Adam fighting Anti-Man, a headshot of his nemesis Evald Skorpion, the Beyonder-possessed Jason Quantrell, the Infininaut and the First Firmament. America Chavez is not happy to see Loki (let alone the pre-Secret Wars Loki) again. It's unsurprising considering their shared history from the Kieron Gillen era of Young Avengers - Loki spent most of that series manipulating the rest of the team for Loki's own benefit. Loki offhandedly mentions their maybe-encounter with the Beyonders back in the last issue of Agent of Asgard. Taaia asks if death is the "Black Winter", the cosmic entity partially responsible for the destruction of her own multiverse. Issue #3 connects the Phoenix Force with Tipareth. Not the first time this has happened, as it occurred way back in X-Men issue #108. Through the issue, the Phoenix uses a lot of lines it's said during its time with the X-Men. Among the images Glorian creates for the Beyonder are Dazzler, who he briefly romanced, and Boom-Boom, asking if they're still friends. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: The first thing Glorian does is trap Loki inside a tree, with the implication the same applies to all the odd looking tree things dotted around the place. Loki's no more fond of this than any of the other times they've been stuck in a tree. | |

Man of Kryptonite | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_ad12ddd1 | comment |
Adam blasts another Beyonder, since his powers make him a Man of Kryptonite for them. However, two pages later that same Beyonder has reconstituted himself and is fine, aside from a sore arm. | |

Retcon | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: King In Black established that the Enigma Force was a god of light that appeared at the beginning of the 7th Cosmos to oppose Knull, but Defenders: Beyond #2 retcons its origins to having been created by the Beyonders' Concordance Engine. | |

Take That! | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Glorian considers the current (eighth) multiverse a failure because it's a mere continuation of the previous one. He intends to fix this by rebooting it, as many times as he feels is necessary. Taaia tells him that you can't just constantly reboot a universe and hope that'll fix things, because if nothing else, even the people in it will come to feel they don't matter. It's hard not to read this as a swipe at DC Comics. Seventh Cosmos Loki considers their current incarnation to be a rehash of their old self, and seriously considers invoking Literal Split Personality in the final issue. | |

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu? | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_bda3d68a | comment |
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Face to... well, non-face with the One Above All, Adam's first question is to immediately ask if it is above all. He sets an endless horde of monsters on them, though the characters quickly note that if someone that powerful was truly upset by the question, he could've done far worse. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Twice in issue 2, though it's made clear it's a temporary deal. America uses the Eternity Mask to wallop the Beyonder. Adam blasts another Beyonder, since his powers make him a Man of Kryptonite for them. However, two pages later that same Beyonder has reconstituted himself and is fine, aside from a sore arm. | |

Arc Welding | |
| Defenders: Beyond (Comic Book) / int_dba4ae4f | comment |
Arc Welding: Issue #2 does a lot of welding. The Beyonders are revealed to have been created by the Celestials, are the same beings as the Omega Council from Defenders 2012, and the Beyond is the remains of the second multiverse. The Enigma Force — aka the Uni-Power and God of Light — is revealed to have originated from the Concordance Engine. Issue #3 ties together the Phoenix Force and the Tiger God of the White Tigers, which have never interacted in a story before. | |
