Many people considered the Beyonders overwhelmingly powerful. Even in Su Ming's previous life, the internet had been full of outrageous claims that the Ivory Kings were stronger than The One Above All. This happened because some people had only read the Secret Wars series of comics and had seen only the Beyonders at their most glorious.
What kind of glorious moments? First came Original Beyonder's powerful displays. His ruthless, childlike games filled people with dread.
Then came the "multiversal bumper-car" experiment. The Beyonders used the multiverse as an experiment, destroying Single Universes one by one. Countless Celestials were harvested like wheat, the Ivory Kings killed three of the Five Creation Gods with one move each, and the Living Tribunal did not even last three moves before dying on the spot.
Their showing was indeed powerful. Su Ming had thought so too when he first read it, especially after learning what level the Five Creation Gods were on. He had longed for the Beyonders' strength.
That changed after he read Fantastic Four Annual V26: The Riddle of the Celestials (Fantastic Four Annual 27: The Riddle of the Celestials). The Celestials and Creator Gods were still more ruthless.
This comic had probably never received a chinese translation, so many people in China might not have read it. It was divided into two parts. The first, "Dreadface Lives!", told the story of a special Symbiote that controlled Susan and Thing, forcing Franklin to obey.
The Symbiote called Dreadface was quite special. Like a certain Starro from neighboring DC, it could turn into a mask and cling to different people's faces, controlling their minds. Forcibly removing it would result in death.
It was also the only Symbiote Su Ming had ever seen that did not reproduce offspring, yet used its own spores to run
