A living paradox, Henry McCoy has the body of a huge ape and the mind of a brilliant scientist. Extremely agile and strong, he earned the nickname 'The Beast' as a college football superstar. When contacted by Professor Xavier to join the newly formed X-Men Hank gladly accepted and was given the codename 'Beast' in reference to his old college nickname.

Blessed with a staggering intellect, Henry McCoy has a doctorate in genetics and is considered to be a leading expert in mutations and evolutionary biology. He also enjoys working with his hands and maintains all the X-Mansion equipment, including the Danger Room, the X-Jet and the subbasement computer.
