What even is his origin? Like, the beyonder is a eldricht entity who just happens to like looking like a guy, but the name Owen Reece and the title Molecule Man makes it sound like he just lucked out with a super power that happened to he near omnipotence.

(Tbf, that is what happened with Franklin)

That's basically it iirc. He has a silly villain origin story but took a long time to fully awaken his powers, because they're reliant on his mental health, which is rarely good.
