    Since the character debate on Storm is going so "nicely" lets try one for some other X-Men starting with Beast.

    Beast is an original X-Man, sometimes Avenger, an the teams go to science guy. But is he as much a good guy as he and the writers seem to think he is?



    Consider the charges to be:

    -Hypocrisy

    - Arrogance

    - Being immune to consequences

    - Recklessness

    - Becoming/Being a bad character/person

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For me most of the charges can be summed up by 2 moments.

    Telling Hope Summers that she should runaway from Utopia.

    and

    Bringing the 05 to the present


    The Hope thing, was set in motion and by his dislike of Cyclops following the events of "Dark Reign" in which Dark Beast captured and tortured Hank for a period of at least a few days before the X-Men rescued him, despite knowing his location for an extended period. This lead to Beast departure from the team. The problem is that he wrote a letter advising a teenage girl who was just hunted across all time and then lost her father that the people she had just met, his former teammates, were dangerous.

    He didn't know Hope, and she didn't know anyone and yet he decides to vent his frustrations by advising her that the leader of the group can't be trusted


    The 05, situation involved Beast reacting to the news of the escaped Cyclops' aggressive actions in rescuing mutants by utilizing a time machine to travel back in time in order to bring Cyclops' past self face to face with his future.

    The problem starts with the time travel, but once he gets their he tells them that Scott is taking a path that will lead to GENOCIDE which wasn't exactly accurate. After he has convinced them to come to the present however he doesn't force them to go back, more over because of a sickness he was concealing he doesn't appear to receive anything other then a slight reprimand.


    So is Beast really that much of a good guy?

    well he claimed to be gay during morrison's run only to say he was saying it to cause a stir and later showed that he clearly wasn't gay and since Bendis is no longer an X man writer I think we are safe to say Girlfriend

    It is a shame that the "Trial of Hank Mccoy" Idea was glided over in Uncanny X-men #600

    Yes, I agree. I think the writer made a big mistake presenting the story in a '20/40/etc minutes before...' format, because I was more invested in what could have been mini-stories taking place after the "trial", but instead the entire event ended up feeling like nothing happened. The presentation of the story just felt boring.

    Just saying if they had locked him up 9 years ago like I said, back when he first started acting funny this wouldn't be happening right now.

    @koays: This is the first time in a long time I’ve just sat and binged issues. This story is actually sucking me in. Hank went full heel. I know you don’t like Logan but I think watching Logan run through Beast again and again might be something we both can enjoy.

    @god_spawn: Lol I hope your getting some of the X-Force issues in as well as the Wolverine ones to truly get the picture. I may not be a fan of the metal boned gerbil guy but at this point when they finally put him down for good I'm gonna be smoking a cigar in a berserker rage t-shirt to celebrate.

    @koays: I have a lot of X-Force to get caught up on. Little titles here and there but mostly the current X-Men title and this made me check Wolverine so I just ran through 6 issues like nothing lol. I’m all for it.

    And fair, I’ll toast a pint with you, sir.
