Secret Wars II #7
In "Charge of the Dark Brigade!", the Beyonder’s quiet contemplation on a deserted island draws a strange following, turning his stillness into a cult-like phenomenon. When the Thing, filming a movie nearby, scoffs at the spectacle, he’s drawn into a surreal clash after visions from Mephisto send an army of villains to eliminate the Beyonder—only to find himself defending him instead. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Al Milgrom, with inks by Steve Leialoha, colors by Julianna Ferriter, and letters by Rosen, the cover by Al Milgrom and Steve Leialoha captures the intensity of the moment.

Baffled by his time on Earth, the Beyonder finds a deserted island and simply sits down to think. Even there, people take notice of him and begin to form a "thinking" cult based around his example. The Thing, who is shooting a movie on a nearby island, is disgusted by it all. After a series of visions (courtesy of Mephisto), he swims out to beat up on the Beyonder. Instead, he ends up protecting the Beyonder from an army of villains who have been sent to take him out and unintentionally thwarts Mephisto's plans of using a portion of the Beyonder's own power to defeat him.
