User blog comment:-Saryn-/Togashi writing patterns for antagonist in dark continent/@comment-48285-20140305220532

That's interesting. Although, with the exception of Tonpa, I wouldn't calssify anybody as "weak". I know what you're meaning but even in your context, I wouldn't classify them as "weak". Those are just my opinions, though, and I can't really think of something to back them up. But I see what you mean. The only thing we know about the supposed villain of the Dark Continent arc is that he's Netero's son with his own "Zodiac 12". It's really hard to judge at this point, but if he's the son of Netero, then he has to be strong. Stronger than the Ants? That remains to be seen. Since this blog is about a subject that's only in the manga for right now, then I'm assuming spoilers are okay. However, I'm just going to give a warning just in case. So, here's the spoiler warning. In order to be stronger than the Ants, then Beyond must be able to defeat Meruem. Something his father couldn't do even using hisfull power and, ultimately, his last resort.
