Introduction

The convergence of threats seen in the Marvel universe could spell the end of reality, as Nekron, alongside his Para-demon army and the entity Parallax, plot to destroy the entire Marvel universe. As a dedicated SEO expert, I propose a creative approach to this problem, using a mix of lesser-known characters to face these formidable foes. In this scenario, I will avoid characters with extreme power levels, such as Pre-Retcon Beyonder, focusing on three characters: The Phoenix, the Marquis of Death, and Mad Jim Jasper. These powerful beings should be able to counterbalance the likes of Nekron and Parallax.

Choosing the Foes

The question is: which three characters do you choose to stop the plot? For this occasion, I will reverse my usual process and choose characters that may be considered less powerful, but still effective against these monstrous threats. Let us examine the choices:

The Phoenix: A highly powerful being with authority over death, superseding even Galactus and other abstract entities. Her power level is comparable to Parallax, making her a formidable combatant. The Marquis of Death: A high multiversal entity with the ability to face Nekron at a comparable level. The Marquis of Death’s power and existence span beyond Nekron’s reality. Mad Jim Jasper: An outerversal being with the capacity to take on both Darkseid and his armies. Jasper’s unpredictable nature and power defy conventional limits, making him a suitable candidate. Pre-Retcon Beyonder: As a meta-character, the Beyonder’s presence would make the scenario meta, which is slightly too self-referential for this context. Therefore, I will not include him. The Kree robot known as the Recorder: A Kree creation with advanced technology and strategic capabilities, the Recorder serves as a wise and strategic ally in this fight. Thanos: An iconic villain, Thanos still falls under the category of overpowered characters if not given a significant reduction in power. Choosing him at regular strength aims to balance the forces at play.

My choice of Thanos is part of a fun idea: I aim to bring about Thanos' downfall. I no longer wish to see this character dominate storylines. His overpowered status often leaves little room for complexity, making it challenging to challenge him meaningfully.

The Battle: An Unconventional Approach

These choices are intentional, intended to create an unconventional and thought-provoking narrative. Let's dive into the story:

Confronting Nekron

As Nekron and his Para-demons descend upon the Marvel universe, the Beyonder chooses the Recorder and Thanos to take on the threat. Nekron, seeing Nekron's might, is immediately targeted. The Recorder and Thanos witness the Beyonder manifest, unexpectedly focusing on Nekron first.

The Recorder, with its advanced technology, observes the battle unfolding. Thanos, fierce and relentless, confronts Nekron. However, Nekron's sheer power and influence push Thanos to the brink of his limits. In frustration, Thanos challenges Nekron to a direct confrontation, but the Beyonder intercedes, telling Thanos, "You have enough on your plate. Go get 'em, Tiger."

Defeating Darkseid

With Nekron defeated, the Beyonder's attention turns to Darkseid. The Marquis of Death and Mad Jim Jasper engage Darkseid and his Para-demons. The Marquis, with its high multiverse capabilities, faces Darkseid directly, and Mad Jim Jasper, with his unpredictable powers, manages to disrupt Darkseid's plans.

Despite the valiant efforts of Nekron and the Marquis of Death, Parallax and Darkseid remain a formidable duo. Parallax, a cosmic entity, tries to destroy a galaxy but is contained by the Beyonder's will. Darkseid, obsessed with his Anti-Life Equation, continues to explain his cosmology, but the Beyonder's presence is too much for him to handle. In an act of frustration, The Beyonder reduces Darkseid to a trophy, storing him in his Beyond Realm bedroom.

The Final Showdown

In a climactic moment, Parallax attempts to break free from the Beyonder's containment, but the Beyonder's will holds. The Recorder, witnessing the entire battle, remains a steady presence throughout. The Phoenix, faced with the overwhelming power of Parallax, uses her ultimate power to contain the entity, without fully destroying it. The Beyonder, satisfied with the outcome, decides to bend time, returning the universe to a state before Nekron and his allies' arrival, effectively nullifying the threat.

The outcome is a triumph of unconventional forces over overwhelming power. Nekron and Darkseid are defeated, Parallax is contained, and the Marquis of Death and Mad Jim Jasper emerge as heroes. The Recorder and Thanos, under the watchful eye of the Beyonder, safeguard the universe from further threats.

In this scenario, the unconventional choices of characters create a narrative that challenges the conventional hero-versus-villain paradigm, offering a fresh perspective on the struggle against cosmic threats. The victory, in the end, is a testament to the effectiveness of strategic thinking and the power of less powerful, but highly strategic, characters.
