Personally I think a totally new character should have been the bomb. Retconning Owen just raises all sorts of questions that will be ignored next time someone wants to use him or the Beyonders.
Well I wasn't thinking about the Molecule man being he multiversal bomb part. But the using of the collective molecule men against the Beyonders. Yeah my fault for not being clear.
It uses the rules established earlier in a particularly clever way. What can kill Hickman's unstoppable enemy? The multiverse bomb they created that's what.
Also explains the past two mysteries "Why did a bunch of earths die simultaneously?" and "Why did the Black Swan religion splinter off?".
It's a well-planned payoff that should've been in the actual New Avengers book rather than a flashback.
Except his Beyonders still make no sense they can't even time travel yet they can create a bomb that can time travel. Not to mention a signal one can be killed by Thor and Hyperion and yet they are supposedly beyond all established cosmological powers in the Marvel universe.
To me the whole plot line and it's resolution comes off ridiculess cause I can't separate it from all the flaws already present in the story.
Can Molecule Man time travel? I was under the impression the universes ran at different times to each other, hence why one Earth is still in 1602 while another is as far away as 2099.
The answer to that is yes and no. He time traveled quiet freely during Secret Wars 2.
Then after merging with the Beyodner into a cosmic cube he came back weaker without the ability to teleport at all for a while and then was implied to have become even stronger. After his death at the hands of the Sentry and eventual resurection who knows.
Thor and Hyperion didn't kill or even inconvenience any of the beyonders, they got completely wrecked. One beyonder wasn't hurt but had it's body converted into a static form by the sacrifice of a entire species of world makers and the other got blasted by an selfdestructing source of infinite power and was the only one to actually die.
The beyonders being liner in time is pretty much their only exploitable weakness and is probably due to them not being part of the multiverse timestream.
Ah I was only going back the scans here. I thought Thor and Hyperion killed onein thier cliche ridden last stand where Thor ended up being worthy again.
Even them being outside the multiverse is a retcon since originally they were just from a neighboring dimension. I mean the living Tribunal used to speak of them as if they were just a curiosity and now they manage to kill him. (Until the eventual retcon.)
