| DESCRIPTION Henry "Hank" P. McCoy is a mutant whose powers were in evidence since birth. The probable cause of his mutation was his father's exposure to massive amounts of radiation during a nuclear power plant "incident". As a youth, McCoy's superhuman agility and athletic prowess earned him recognition in school as a star football player. It was then that Professor Xavier learned of him and invited him to join his School for Gifted Youngsters. As a member of Professor Xavier's original X-Men, McCoy was given the codename "Beast". Upon graduation, McCoy got a job as a genetic researcher at the Brand Corporation. There he isolated a chemical catalyst that triggered mutations and sampled the serum in hopes of changing his appearance enough so he could ferret out enemy agents at the facility. The serum caused fur to grow over his entire body, enlarged his canine teeth, and increased his already prodigious athletic ability. By remaining too long in this altered state, McCoy learned that he could not reverse the mutation to its former state. He has since learned to accept his rather beast-like appearance. |
