Secret Wars II (Comic Book) | comment |
Secret Wars II is a nine-issue comic book Limited Series and crossover published between 1985 to 1986 by Marvel Comics. It was written by Marvel's then Editor-in-chief Jim Shooter and primarily penciled by Al Milgrom. The series was a sequel to Secret Wars (1984). It tied-in with issues of other Marvel titles, with each "tie-in" featuring a Secret Wars II logo in the top right hand corner to indicate that it was a part of the overall story.The plot follows the return of 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. | |

The Cameo | |
Secret Wars II (Comic Book) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Circuit Breaker from The Transformers (Marvel) pops up for three panels◊ in issue #3 to help convince Beyonder that mind-controlling everyone is bad. This was done at a time when The Transformers was treated as taking place in the Marvel Universe before being retconned into its own continuity, retroactively making her the Marvel universe take on the character instead of actually being from the Transformers series. Her appearance wasn't just to shill the Transformers comic - having her appear in a non-Transformers comic before her Transformers debut proper allowed Marvel to keep the rights to the character instead of Hasbro. | |

RetCon | |
Secret Wars II (Comic Book) / int_b2279346 | comment |
Retcon: Marvel later retconned Beyonder's origin so that he'd never been nearly omnipotent, only believed he was (and to mortals he definitely seemed to be, but the other Cosmic Entities were just pretending to get beaten by him to "help him grow".) This was believed to have been a Take That! to Jim Shooter after he left Marvel, although Steve Englehart reported that this was editorial interference. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
Secret Wars II (Comic Book) / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: Averted. A very naive Beyonder is told by 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 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. (The government ends up covering up the event and throwing the excess gold into a sea trench.) | |
