In "Love Is the Answer!", the Beyonder, intrigued by the complexity of human desire, sets his sights on Dazzler—whom he calls the most powerful mutant on Earth—as his latest experiment in romance.

Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Leialoha and Rubinstein, colors by Max Scheele, and letters by J. Rosen, this 1985 issue features a cover by Al Milgrom and explores the limits of control versus genuine feeling in a moment that redefines the Beyonder’s understanding of love.

The Beyonder wishes to explore the human concept of desire and picks Dazzler (whom he calls possibly the most powerful mutant to walk the planet) as his new love interest. Despite all of his best efforts at wining and dining, gift giving, emotional manipulation and showing off with his powers, he finds that the only way he can make her fall for him is to control her mind and force her. Finding this to be unfulfilling, he releases her from his control and abandons his quest.
