Hang On, When Did Beast Go Crazy? | Up Your Nerd Cred Ep. 15
Description
When you think of the X-Men’s Beast, do you picture the witty scientist quoting Shakespeare from his cell in X-Men: The Animated Series? Or the fuzzy blue Avenger cracking jokes with Wonder Man? This week, CiCi takes you through Hank McCoy’s journey from his Silver Age debut to his role as the team’s gentle giant and resident biochemist.
This episode is Part One of a two-parter — we’re focusing on the “nice Beast” era before AM comes in next week to explain how and why things took a darker turn. From oversized hands and feet in X-Men #1, to the serum that gave him his iconic fur, to teaching at Xavier’s and wrestling with the Legacy Virus, this is your crash course in Beast before everything changed.
