1, Chris Claremont, writer of that series in addition to both Uncanny X-Men (for sixteen consecutive years) and X-Factor, contributed much to the Beast’s characterization. As evidenced on the back cover of X-Treme X-Men Vol. In Uncanny X-Men #390, 2001, the Beast cured the Legacy Virus and in X-Treme X-Men #3, 2001, the Beast experienced a further mutation into a feline being, first shown in the introduction to New X-Men (June, 2001), by Frank Quitely and Grant Morrison. It wasn’t until 1991, in X-Factor #70/X-Men #1, that the Beast finally returned to the X-Men. Steranko reasons, "he had to expand beyond simply using big words." Over the next decade he would appear on the roster of several teams in titles ranging from Avengers to Defenders to X-Factor. The concept originated with Roy Thomas, an effort to make the character more visibly striking, and Beast also became more werewolf-like to capitalize on the success of Werewolf by Night.
In Amazing Adventures #11, written by Gerry Conway in March 1972, the Beast underwent a radical change in appearance, mutating into the now familiar furry creature. After Jim Steranko’s tenure, which added "exciting art," Roth returned, working with Neal Adams who blended Kirby’s style with "realism, idealized beauty, and epic grandeur," making The X-Men (later named Uncanny X-Men) series one of the most popular superhero comics by the late 1960s. Beast was given an individualized, colorful new costume with the rest of the X-Men by issue #39 in order to attract new readers. Further, the book opines that the Werner Roth-Roy Thomas team garnered admiration for their "appealing and sensitive characterizations of the original X-Men." Roth (under the alias Jay Gavin) had taken over for Kirby fully by issue #18 and Thomas was a new talent. Stan Lee writes in the foreword to X-Men: The Ultimate Guide that he made Beast the most articulate, eloquent, and well-read of the X-Men to contrast with his brutish exterior. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the Beast. Nicholas Hoult portrays Beast in the 2011 film, X-Men: First Class. In X-Men: The Last Stand, he was played by Kelsey Grammer, and in X2, Steve Bacic portrayed him in a very brief cameo in a newscast scene as a human. He has also been a member of the "all-star" teams the Avengers and Defenders. One of the original X-Men, the Beast has appeared consistently in X-Men-related comics throughout the years. Fighting his bestial instincts and fears of social rejection, the Beast dedicates his physical and mental gifts to the creation of a better world for man and mutant. His physical power increases to even greater levels, as do his senses.ĭespite his inhuman appearance, he is a brilliant man of the arts and sciences he is a world authority on biochemistry and genetics, the X-Men’s medical doctor, and the science and mathematics instructor at the Xavier Institute (the X-Men’s headquarters and school for young mutants). These include blue fur, feline facial features, pointed ears, fangs, and claws. Throughout his history, the Beast undergoes progressive transformations to his physiognomy, permanently gaining increasingly animalistic physical characteristics. When first introduced, the Beast-a mutant-possesses ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility and oversized hands and feet, though he otherwise appears to be a normal human being. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in X-Men #1 (September 1963). He is a founding member of the mutant team of superheroes known as the X-Men. The Beast (Henry "Hank" McCoy) is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics.
A brilliant scientist, Beast’s mutation leads him to be covered in blue fur and have heightened strength and agility. Hank McCoy / Beast: A former student of Xavier’s School who is now the Secretary of Mutant Affairs in the U.S. Henry "Hank" McCoy / Beast: A scientist who is transformed into a frightening-looking mutant in an attempt to cure himself, but is kind at heart.
