Beast (Dr. Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is a founding member of the X-Men. Originally called "The Beast", the character was introduced as a mutant possessing ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility, oversized hands and feet, a genius-level intellect, and otherwise normal appearance and speech. Eventually being referred to simply as "Beast", Hank McCoy underwent progressive physiological transformations, permanently gaining animalistic physical characteristics. These include blue fur, both simian and feline facial features, pointed ears, fangs, and claws. Beast's physical strength and senses increased to even greater levels. Despite Hank McCoy's inhuman appearance, he is depicted as a brilliant, well-educated man in the arts and sciences, known for his witty sense of humor, and characteristically uses barbed witticisms with long words and intellectual references to distract his foes.[1] He is a world authority on biochemistry and genetics, the X-Men's medical doctor, and the science and mathematics instructor at the Xavier Institute (the X-Men's headquarters and school for young mutants). He is also a mutant political activist, campaigning against society's bigotry and discrimination against mutants. While fighting his own bestial instincts and fears of social rejection, Beast dedicates his physical and mental gifts to the creation of a better world for man and mutant. One of the original X-Men, Beast has appeared regularly in X-Men-related comics since his debut. He has also been a member of the Avengers and Defenders. The character has also appeared in media adaptations, including animated TV series and feature films. In X2 (2003), Steve Bacic portrayed him in a very brief cameo in his human appearance while in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) he was played by Kelsey Grammer. Nicholas Hoult portrayed a younger version of the character in X-Men: First Class (2011). Both Hoult and Grammer reprised their roles in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014). Hoult also reprised the role in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and Dark Phoenix (2019), and had a cameo in Deadpool 2 (2018).

After Magneto's appearance, the world begins to acknowledge the existence of mutants. However, far from bringing acceptance, it brings fear through the media, politics, and especially on the streets, with panic and fear taking over reason. Mutants become targets of hatred and distrust, and even heroes like the X-Men suffer the consequences. Considering the government's measures too slow, Senator Kelly secretly seeks out Bolivar Trask to implement Project Sentinel: machines created under the pretext of locating mutants and protecting humans, but which in reality reveal themselves to be weapons designed to neutralize any mutant. Now hunted, the X-Men must fight to survive. Meanwhile, their personal lives become complicated. Hank undergoes a second mutation, making the codename Beast even more literal. Scott and Jean deepen their relationship, but face obstacles. Faced with increasing persecution, Wendy begins to question whether Magneto was really wrong, a conflict that intensifies when she discovers her father's involvement in Project Sentinel. Bobby, meanwhile, grapples with the revelation that an old friend is a mutant, sparking a rivalry. At the same time, Xavier and Ororo are approached by the Hellfire Club: Sebastian Shaw and Mystique invite them to join a select group of mutants willing to decide the future of their race. The world has changed, lines have been drawn, and sides chosen. Even so, the X-Men remain steadfast, fighting for their dream.
