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.

He became one of Charles Xavier’s original X-Men and helped them make the world safer for humans, acting as their doctor. He helped to create the Danger Room, the X-Men’s training room. Initially his physical mutation was enlarged hands and feet. However, at some point he grew blue fur all over his body.

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 X-Men discovered a young girl named Jubilee, Beast was in his private corders when she saw him. After Jubilee defeated Wolverine in the Danger Room, Beast and Morph laughed at him before he revealed his claws.

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 Xavier Mansion, 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 mutation. 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 incidentally Hobgoblin, Landon’s scheme was foiled and Landon became a half-mutated 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.

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. He can be found quoting Shakespeare, reading works such as Animal Farm and Dostoevsky, and collecting the magazine Philology Quarterly. His specialty is organic chemistry. Dr. McCoy has a laboratory at Xavier's mansion. Among his scientific credits, Beast created neural inhibitors to suppress Dark Phoenix, deduced that the Phalanx's rate of assimilation was proportional to electrical conductivity and rerouted a satellite signal to contact Forge on the matter, and modified the Blackbird with Shi'ar technology for spaceflight.

Background

Beast was voiced by George Buza in all his appearances.

In the comics, Beast was actually part of the Avengers when Jean Grey became the Dark Phoenix and didn't show up to help until after the events at the Hellfire Club.

In the comics, Beast has also been a part of the Defenders, X-Factor, and X-Terminators.
