Ah, it's nice to actually see him look like he used to. But, I hope he doesn't keep that excessive shading around the eyes.

On that team, the only person that Hank really knows is Scott
Idie, Quentin, Kwannon were all introduced post-90s.
Magik. He had long left the X-men by the time she joined the school. He may know of her but any interaction was quite limiting. If he gets his teen memories unlocked, he'll at least know her and Idie too having worked alongside them in Bendis' run and ANX v2
Juggernaut - He only knows him as a villian that attacked the mansion that one time when he was a teen
First Warren in Dark X-Men #1, and then Genis-Vell in Captain Marvel #1. Seriously, Marvel?!
Avatar reflecting my mood. I couldn't stand the sunny high-flying Angel one anymore.
They don’t have to go back to New Defenders to get to the last time funloving Beast existed though. We had funloving Beast in Busiek Avengers for example. That way back to in 1997 or so but certainly better than 1984. We had funloving Beast in the Avengers Two mini which I think was in the early 2000s. We had fun loving Beast in Duggan’s Uncanny X-Foorce which was what 2017?
You know what? Screw it. Just put out a Beast/Wonder Man ongoing team up series and all will be fixed and forgiven.

That's why I feel this character has simply been ruined. They allowed Percy to wreck havoc on Hank, and THIS is their fix? Clone-Hank in the new book is going to be a fish out of temporal water. "Clone-Hank", that still makes me upset thinking about how the real Hank is going to be replaced by this clone with only old memories.

sigh There you go being sensible, lol.
I'll try a few more pictures. First is Hank's cameo from The Marvels featuring Kelsey Grammer, because I love his look here. Some people didn't like the way he looked, but I did:
Then, a panel from an Avengers issue where a jerk called the Manipulator briefly captured Hank and made him dance and sing:
And, the cover from Amazing Adventures where Hank fought the Juggernaut by himself. Someone mentioned that clone-Hank(cries)would remember Juggie from when he attacked the X-Mansion when they were teens, but they did fight again later, here:

I was just remembering: someone had a theory that Jean as the Phoenix would fix Hank before the new era. As in, fix the mess Percy made with bad-Hank and clone-Hank. What does everyone else think?
Also, issue #50 of Wolverine is coming up, quite possibly double-sized for the grand finale with some X-Force stuff to clear things up. I shudder that Hank might still be in Percy's clutches.

That was my hope but now I dont even know. They sure are dragging Jean's Phoenix story so there's been no movement on that front
Reading up about somoene doesnt make him know them. He doesnt have any of the memories or feelings that goes along with any of the people he met from 1986-2024. We saw this arc play up when the Teen O5 came to present day. Jean Grey had a telepathic memory dump from Beast and she didnt pick up and have a relationship with her older self's friends bc she didnt know them. In some instances, the relationships were different, bc she didnt have the feelings attached to what she learned (like with Emma)

We just have to accept Clone Beast as the Beast from now on. The real evil Beast is taking a death-vacation for now. Then years later some other writer can fix up real Beast and retcon some of the evil stuff away.
