- —Beast
Doctor Henry "Hank" McCoy, also known as Beast, is a superhero from Marvel Comics. He appeared in the 47th episode of Death Battle, Beast VS Goliath, where he fought against Goliath from the Gargoyles series.
History
Henry McCoy was a brilliant scientist who harbored a dark secret. When he was born, he had abnormally-large hands and feet as a result of the mutant gene. He kept it a secret by studying many doctorates, and excelling at sports. But once it was revealed he was a mutant, Hank was shunned by everyone, including his friends and family. Fortunately, he was recruited by Professor X to join his team of mutant defenders he called the X-Men, becoming one of its founding members under the codename: "Beast". However, Hank still felt out of place in the works, so he briefly left to try and develop a serum that would reverse the mutant gene and turn him into a normal human. Unfortunately while testing it, it did the opposite of what it was meant to do. It enhanced the genes, transforming him into a furry, apelike creature. This experience would help Hank finally make peace with his origin and find a new career at the Xavier Institute, not only finding his place among the world and the X-Men, but also becoming a spokesperson for mutantkind.
