Can someone PLEASE explain to me how the hell PR molecule man got so damn powerful? i mean he's just a guy with the power to controll molecules as far as i know what the hell how could he be nigh omnipotent? he should have ended the secret wars in the first issue!
First off, all matter is made of molecules. So, if one controls molecules with a thought, they control everything made of molecules. Basically all matter. That's pretty freaking powerful.
Also, the name "molecule man" can be a bit misleading because one might be tempted to think he only controls matter and leave it at that. But matter and energy are flip sides of the exact same coin. He cannot control matter without also having some level of control over energy as well.
So, why didn't he simply beat the Beyonder in Secret Wars? That's actually an excellent question, but it is one that was dealt with in both Secret Wars I and II. At first, he simply did not realize how powerful he was, nor how to use his power most effectively. He lacked confidence. It was Dr. Doom who realized Molecule Man's potential and brought it out (somewhat) in him... It was not until near the very end of Secret Wars II that he started believing in himself and finally developed enough stones to stand up to the Beyonder...
I recently read...somewhere... that there's been some sort of suggestion that Molecule Man and the Beyonder are both the same type of being. As stupid as it sounds, it's as if they matured from a Cosmic Cube.... I know, it's stupid, but there you have it.
