Beast used to be the witty, Shakespeare-quoting professor, the one who could hold his own in a fight and in the lab. So… how did Hank McCoy become one of the most reviled figures in mutant history?
In this expert-level deep dive, CiCi and AM trace the slow burn of Beast’s fall:
From noble scientist working on a cure for the Legacy Virus…
To morally gray compromises and questionable alliances…
To his full “Heart of Darkness” descent during the Krakoan era.

This week, we’re asking whether Beast can ever be redeemed—or if this is who he’s been all along.
