īattleworld is enforced by the Thor Corps who serve as Battleworld's police force who answer to God Emperor Doom. Although Doctor Strange didn't kill the Beyonders during the confrontation, Doctor Doom appears to do so by using a secret weapon, actually thousands of Molecule Man, that allowed Doom to take the Beyonders' power as his own and incorporated the remnants of the realities destroyed by the incursions, or more precisely, their incursions points, to create his own image of Battleworld with Strange unable to do anything else but to follow his words.

This new Battleworld was created by its ruler Doctor Doom (who is worshipped as its deity God Emperor Doom) after he and Doctor Strange (who became Battleworld's sheriff) went to the Beyonders to stop the incursion of their reality. Only the Deadlands (which contains the Marvel Zombies), Perfection (which contains the Ultron Sentinels), and New Xandar (which contains the ( Annihilation Wave) are separated from the rest by the Shield (a giant version of Ben Grimm) because each contains threats that if loosed would destroy the other domains. All of these realities are known as domains which are ruled by an appointed " Baron" or a "Baroness", and while most domains have the ability to interact with each other, the borders of each domain are clearly defined and travel between different domains is discouraged, as it requires special dispensation from the local Baron or from Doctor Doom himself. The remains of several realities were all merged to form a new Battleworld with the planet having a roundish shape. Third Battleworld Ī third Battleworld appeared in the 2015 Secret Wars storyline, after the numerous incursions destroyed the Multiverse. Gravity was later resurrected by Epoch as the new Protector of the Universe. This faux Battleworld was destroyed at the end of the miniseries by the departure of the irate Stranger with Gravity holding it together long enough for his group to escape at the cost of his life. It was constructed by the Stranger posing as the Beyonder for the purposes of studying various combatants from Earth under the guise of battle. Second Battleworld Ī Battleworld appeared in the miniseries Beyond!. It is unknown whether all pieces returned to their home planets the fragment of Colorado was ferried back to Earth with its citizens and the Secret Wars' villains by Molecule Man. After Ben returned home-he had defeated Ultron and slain his manifested dark side Grimm the Sorcerer- the planet had no more reason to exist and broke apart. He stayed behind because he was able to change to and from his human form while on the planet's surface his adventures were recounted in his own side-series while She-Hulk took his place in the Fantastic Four. All the heroes left the planet, except for Ben Grimm. This is may be due to the Beyonder's nature as an incomplete Cosmic Cube, which allows the wielder to alter reality by force of will, or was an aspect of the "heart's desire" promised by the Beyonder and granted to the winners of the Secret Wars. This led to a "wish fulfillment" phenomenon whereby force of will could alter reality for example, repairing Captain America's unbreakable shield or allowing Mister Fantastic to create a way to take them quickly home. In the aftermath of Secret Wars, the planet became infected with cosmic energy when the Beyonder reclaimed his stolen power from Doctor Doom. Many peoples, both alien and human, were brought along "for the ride" by this method it was because of this that Spider-Woman II was on Battleworld, as was Zsaji, the healer, who had brief romances with both the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four and Colossus of the X-Men. The Beyonder merged dozens of fragments from many planets (including a suburb of Denver, Colorado, from Earth), to create Battleworld, intended to provide an unfamiliar environment where all contestants could use their powers to the fullest.
