What If?: Secret Wars #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2009 one-shot collects the two-issue miniseries that reimagines Marvel's original Secret Wars from alternate perspectives. One story explores what might have happened if Doctor Doom had kept the Beyonder's power, while the other delves into the cosmic Celestials' involvement in the conflict. Featuring key characters like Arishem, Nezarr, Tefral, and Ziran, it offers a fresh take on a classic event.
In What If?: Secret Wars #12 (2009), writer Karl Bollers and artist Jorge Molina explore a chilling alternate path where Dr. Doom, having claimed the Beyonder’s power after winning the Secret War, reshapes the universe under his rule. With the Infinity Gems in his grasp and alien empires conquered, his reign triggers a cosmic reckoning as the Celestials descend—leading to Earth’s tragic displacement and a global winter. Cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Marko Djurdjević captures the scale of this shattered world, as Doom makes a final, desperate move to restore Earth and give humanity a second chance—under his watch.

Dr. Doom wins the Secret War and uses the power of the Beyonder to defeat Earth's heroes and make the world an ideal place to live under his monarchy. His grasp extends into the universe as he captures the Infinity Gems and conquers a horde of alien races. This causes the Celestials to come after him, and, during their battle, Earth is moved from its orbit, causing a global winter that most do not survive. With his power nearly depleted, Doom uses the last of the Beyonder's energy to move the Earth back into orbit so that humanity can have a new start with Doom himself as a member.
