As it is the nexus of all psionic energy, it has mental abilities of cosmic scope, including telepathy and telekinesis.

He quickly dispatched them with a nuclear-style explosion. He increased the Thing's power a hundredfold, then had him go attack the Beyonder, which would hopefully keep him in one place. The character was retconned into a less powerful character, a self-aware Cosmic Cube inhabiting his own "dimension" because there was no matrix to hold his energy, with the explanation that other more powerful beings had exercised their powers on the Beyonder's behalf to ease his transition into self-awareness. Cage was still angry, but Rand calmed him down, and Cage eventually went on to explain more about the importance of time and money.

Or at least so Mephisto hoped; even with all this power, he wasn't sure it could kill the Beyonder. He tried again to convince her to love him (when the ring didn't spark her interest, he just tossed it away). In retaliation, The Beyonder kills most of The New Mutants and sends Marvel's most powerful warriors home in defeat. [12], After Doom's plan was foiled, the Beyonder was told that his creation was actually the result of the creation of a faulty Cosmic Cube by the extradimensional Beyonders.
