Biography

Boy, is that all you got? It has been requested that this article or section be expanded. If the article or section is made to a reasonable length, please remove this template.

Initially repelling his mutant powers, increased senses, strength, agility and speed, McCoy concocted a serum that he hoped would repel his powers, leaving him human. The serum wasn’t successful, instead turning his skin into blue fur.

He became one of Xavier’s original X-Men and helped them make the world safer for humans, acting as their Doctor and using his genius to create The Danger Room, The X-Men’s training room. He was also the only X-Men to continue to work outside the school, as a medical researcher in a New York hospital. It was there he fell in love with one of his patients, Carly. Carly’s Father hated the idea of a mutant treating her and demanded that he cease seeing her when she became ready for the surgery.

When The Friends Of Humanity kidnapped Carly after her operation, Wolverine infiltrated their ranks and Beast started a mad rampage, determined to save his love no matter the cost. After The X-Men rescued her, Beast told her that he couldn’t see her any longer, as she was in constant danger when around him. He told her he hoped he would be able to return to her when mutants and humans could live in peace together.

Captured by his former friend

Later, when Spider-Man came to the X-Mansion, the Beast was the only one who understood the situation Spider-Man was in, having been there once himself. McCoy referred Spidey to an old friend of his, Doctor Herbert Landon, who was working on a cure for mutancy. Little did Beast realize that his “old friend” was really working on a poison to kill all mutants, making humans dominate over mutants. Thanks to Spider-Man, Wolverine, Beast, and (though he didn’t realize it) Hobgoblin, Landon’s scheme was foiled and Landon became a Two-Face like creature as a reminder of the day.

Beast apparently joined the Avengers at a later time as his portrait is seen in the Avenger’s conference room, next to two unknown superheroes although one of them bares slight resemblance to Gambit.

Personality

Beast is a genius and is normally very kind. Although he can fight like the most violent of fiends, he is very gentle and enjoys a good poem. He has knowledge of most 16th century liturature. In the animated series X-Men, he can be found quoting Shakespeare, reading works such as Animal Farm and Tolstoy, and collecting the magazine Philology Quarterly. In the episode Phalanx, Part One, he reveals his specialty is organic chemistry. Dr. Hank McCoy has a laboratory at an eye clinic as well as at Xavier's mansion. Among his scientific credits, Beast created neural inhibitors to suppress Dark Phoenix (The Dark Phoenix Saga), deduced that the Phalanx's rate of assimilation was proportional to electrical conductivity and rerouted a satellite signal to contact Forge on the matter (Phalanx), and modified the Blackbird with Shi'ar technology for spaceflight (Sanctuary).
