Beast

""With faint heart, averted feet, and many a tear, in our opposive path to persevere". A minor poet for a minor obstacle."

- Beast

Henry "Hank" McCoy AKA Beast, is a character from Marvel's X-Men that appears in Beast VS Goliath.

History
Hank McCoy was born with giant hands and feet as a resullt of the mutant gene, but kept it a secret by studying many doctorates, and excelling at sports. Once it was revealed he was a mutant, Hank was shunned by everyone of his friends and family. Eventually he was recruited by Professor Xavier and joined the X-Men as one of it's founding members codenamed Beast.

He briefly left the team to study a way to rid himself of the mutagen gene, but unfortunately while testing it, it did the opposite of what it was meant to do. This caused him to become a blue-furred beast, and decided to fight again with the X-Men.
