*First appearance: Uncanny X-Men #1.
Henry McCoy was born a mutant because of his father's exposure to radiation at a nuclear power plant. At first, his metamorphosis took the form of enlarged hands and feet. Later, a serum that McCoy himself developed mutated him further, transforming the brilliant, humane scientist into a furry and fanged humanoid. Known as the ultrapowerful Beast, McCoy has worked closely with his celebrated friend and mentor, Professor X, teaming up with other mutant Super Heroes in their ongoing crusade against evil.
Power: Superhuman strength and reflexes; catlike night vision; ability to heal swiftly.
