Secret Wars II

Although the New Defenders did not participate in the original Secret Wars limited series, New Defenders #152 was a tie-in issue to Secret Wars II. Telepathically sensing that the Beyonder was on Earth, Moondragon called out to the godlike being. When the Beyonder materialized and offered Moondragon a chance to be his disciple, she accepted. As deeply as Moondragon craved such cosmic validation, she still harbored vindictive thoughts toward the New Defenders, who justifiably regarded her as evil. Immediately after the Beyonder left, Moondragon returned her loyalty to the corrupt Dragon of the Moon as though nothing had happened.
