Beast (Hank McCoy) is a founding X-Man — a brilliant biochemist with ape-like agility, superhuman strength, and a mutation that gradually transformed him from large-footed to blue-furred and leonine. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963, Hank is the X-Men's intellectual heart, quoting Shakespeare mid-battle and debating philosophy between punches. His progressive mutation — becoming more bestial while growing more eloquent — is Marvel's most vivid metaphor for the fear that evolution might cost you your humanity.
