Puck Part 21: Secret Wars II #4 (October, 1985)


Puck meets the Beyonder, and gets tossed aside like his namesake…again…

I have this issue.

The Beyonder appears at the West Edmonton Mall just after Shaman’s pouch is restored, with Talisman trapped inside. Suspecting that he’s another member of Omega Flight, Judd and the others attack. The Beyonder grabs Judd’s arm, and holds him as Northstar and Aurora are taken out, then tosses Judd aside. He stays conscious this time, and witnesses Shaman’s pouch grow in size until Talisman is brought out of it. The pouch returns to its normal size, and Beyonder vanishes.

Notes of Interest:
1) This issue takes place immediately after Alpha Flight #27.

WTF? Moment: Judd seems too gung-ho to attack the Beyonder here. Maybe he’s just mad that he missed out on the other stuff and wants to see some action.

WTF? Moment #2: Judd seems to have finally woken up, even though his presence isn’t really necessary here. I think it would have made more sense for him to have been awake during Alpha Flight #27 and get knocked out here, but whatever...
