An omnipotent [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Cosmic Entity]] by the name of The Beyonder, fascinated by the presence of [[Humans Are Special|superheroes on Earth and their potential]], chooses groups of both heroes and supervillains and teleports them against their will to "Battleworld", a planet created by him in a distant galaxy, stocked with alien weapons, technology and [[Patchwork World|mismatched parts from different worlds]]. He tells them to kill each other, and, to the victor, his greatest desire will be granted. His purpose is to understand the (to him) alien concept of "desire".

A pared down version of the first ''Secret Wars'' was adapted for ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'', reducing the number of characters involved and making Spider-Man the leader of the forces of good rather than Captain America. It was well-received and is considered one of the greatest episode arcs of the show.

 

* [[Anti-Villain]]/ [[Anti-Hero]] (Type IV): While this might not be Magneto's most heroic period (he's very conniving in the early issues), it's certainly his most ''publicly'' heroic. To wit:

** When the heroes and villains are first gathered by the Beyonder, Magneto is sorted with the heroes. The Beyonder classified them due to their desires, and Magneto's goal of mutant supremacy was more noble than the other villains' desires of personal power and wealth.
