    Aside from the child grooming thing, he was pretty cool. He wasn't a good person, but boy was he entertaining. And I trust him more than I do Sinister or Mystique.

    Most people haven't probably haven't heard of that story, much less read it.

    This CBR article refreshed my memory about that issue of A+X where Spidey and Beast found themselves in a nightmarish future where Beast took over the world.

    ...the pair found themselves in a dark possible future that saw New York City reduced to an overgrown ruin. Most of the human population had been reduced to a zombie-like state, left to wander the remnants of society. The two heroes are saved and brought to the last apparent city on the planet, where everyone resembles Beast. Greeted by the queen of this realm, it turns out Hank McCoy is worshiped in this timeline as the founder of their culture -- the Origin Maker.

    When the rest of the world fell to in-fighting, Beast eventually gave into rage and lashed out. He developed a zombie virus that quickly killed off everyone who remained and reanimated them to make their suffering eternal.

    Idk why, but that gives me flashbacks to when he mind-controlled those diplomats.

    Wow, and I thought what Hank did to the people of Terra Verde and its diplomats was bad.

    Those who are usually villains: Shaw, Destiny, Exodus, Mister Sinister, Mystique, Apocalypse (retired), Magneto (retired.)
    Those who are currently villainous: Colossus (possessed), Mister Sinister. Shaw turned on Kitty and Emma for a power play, but he seems to have gotten over that.
    Council members who crap on humans: Mystique, Magneto (retired), maybe Shaw and Exodus, idk they're ugly.

    Honestly aside from snide remarks, they don't actively hate humans. A lot of it comes from their old racist grandpa, and they put him in a retirement home on Mars.
    Out of all the villains on the QC at least Exodus during a moment of penance used his telepathy (boosted by Forge under duress) to compel humans and mutants to peacefully coexist on Genosha and even for that was 'reprimanded'. Haven't seen others doing much to bridge the divide. I always give Exodus a benefit of doubt since then

    That was Dark Beast (AoA Hank). But I can see why you're considering them the same character. :P

    Yeah GS true, but the one on Krakoa seems to be from the same litter with that guy so makes me wonder if it's a beast thing..Sometimes I think the time he came across a ghost box in that story where Forge was making new mutants..he got ideas and never looked back.

    It was definitely not a Beast thing until the early 2000s. Some AoA characters are very different than their 616 counterparts (Keeper Murdock and Daredevil, for instance). Things started to change because of Here Comes Tomorrow. It's like writers got obsessed with making Hank show some signs of being evil when, even in that story, that wasn't a natural progression for him either.

    I don't know, Morrison's run has this power to overwhelm some people into some really weird ideas despite of what is actually written. But I'll never get why so I just accept it is what it is, unfortunately.

    Maybe the beast on Krakoa is infected with sublime again? Surely we'll get old school beast back...but then again I won't get my hopes up, as you say the writers have their peculiar obsessions

    Some writer will try to redeem him, but then the next will bring this silly idea back. Unfortunately, I think we'll never get our lovable Beast back.
