Synopsis:

The Beyonder begins to experience life as a human being but finds it difficult to assimilate experiences; He seeks out Spider-Man for guidance but the most that Peter can do is show him how to use the bathroom and recommend Reed Richards as a pretty bright guy; Beyonder seeks out Reed who has just come off of seeing his wife possessed by Malice and battling the Hate Monger so he doesn't have much time for naive cosmic entities; Beyonder then gets schooled by a homeless lady who points him in the direction of heroes for hire; Luke Cage, in a rage after an unnecessary fourteen story fall, tells the Beyonder that life is all about money so the Beyonder turns their office building into gold as payment; Spidey arrives to witness the spectacle with a speecless Luke and Danny as the Beyonder blinks away.
