The Secret Wars II
The enigmatic, all-powerful, god-like creature named the Beyonder comes to Earth in search of enlightenment and then inevitably comes into conflict with the planets' superhumans.
Taking a number of different human forms, eventually settling on a dark-haired version of Steve Rogers (Captain America), the character wandered in and out of the lives of various inhabitants often challenging them in philosophical as well as physical ways. One example of this is his experience with Daredevil. The Beyonder encounters Daredevil's alter ego, lawyer Matt Murdock, while seeking to legally buy up all the property on the planet. When he first meets Murdock, he notices that he is blind and restores his sight as a gift. Daredevil initially enjoys this boon, but soon begins to question whether he has lost something essential to himself.
The event ended on a somber note as the Beyonder's quest to understand the nature of desire is thwarted by a large group of super-heroes assembled by the Molecule Man, who view him as a threat to reality. This action shows that these events have resulted in the creation of a new universe. This Secret War subtly and quietly resolved itself.
