also to put some things straight : Magneto is a villain, he is sympathetic but his original purpose was to be a foil to Xavier and he was a terrorist with good publicity.

Punisher started as an anti-hero but was altered due to his appearances in the more mature / grimdark comics.. this happens with mass media characters who switch writers, many writers take a character and change what the character is.. if the change is official (as Punisher titles are published by Marvel regardless of the author) then we should accept the change even if it seems ridiculous.. until it is retconned or made officially "non-canon", at which point we can put it down to "never happened" (as officially speaking it didn't.. after such a change).

basically.. characters and settings are always changing and characters that were originally villains may now be anti-heroes and vice versa but we should be following what the official line is and not just picking the parts we happen to prefer..

thus officially Beyonder is no longer an omnipotent alien God and just a Cosmic Cube, per the word of the character's owners.. I dislike this retcon but it is what it is and I must forevermore resign the Beyonder page to this, until official facts come out to state otherwise.
