The following contains spoilers for Monica Rambeau: Photon #2, on sale now from Marvel Comics.

One of the most powerful and dangerous villains in the Marvel Universe now has a completely revamped look.

In Monica Rambeau: Photon #2 by writer Eve. L. Ewing and illustrated by Ivan Fiorelli and Luca Maresca, Monica wakes up on a boat with none other than the Beyonder to greet her. The Beyonder was the main antagonist of Marvel's first two Secret Wars events, Secret Wars and Secret Wars II, in which they could be seen wearing a white suit or metallic armor. While they appear to be another Beyonder from the Marvel Multiverse, this one has an entirely different look consisting of a shiny, gold-and-silver wardrobe and accessories like finger gloves on both hands.

The original Beyonder was created by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck in 1984's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1, but Photon's Beyonder appears to be a variant. This Beyonder does not know anything about facing Monica before, or why she behaves so hostile towards them. The Beyonder tells the hero, "I assure you, Monica Rambeau, I've never met you before today," adding that they are only with her because they were drawn to Monica's immense power. It is possible that Monica is on a different Earth at the time, being that the Avengers arrive in older uniforms, having no memory of the Beyonder either.

Who Is Marvel’s Beyonder and Where Will They Go Next?

The main Beyonder recently appeared in the Defenders: Beyond miniseries by writer Al Ewing and artist Javier Rodriguez, but so did other Beyonders. The Beyonders are a powerful and omnipotent race that reside outside the Multiverse, and whether the main Beyonder and the one Monica encounters are related is unknown as of writing. However, the villainous Beyonder will once again get the spotlight when writer Derek Landy and artist Greg Land's Avengers Beyond debuts in March 2023, a new five-issue miniseries that spins out of All-Out Avengers and features the Beyonder as its main antagonist.
