resulting in animalistic superhuman

| Henry
McCoy's mutant powers were evident at birth, probably caused by his
father's exposure to massive amounts of radiation during an accident at a
nuclear power plant. As a youth, McCoy's superhuman agility and
athletic prowess earned him recognition as a star football player. Learning
of McCoy's skills,
Professor Charles Xavier invited him to enter his
school for gifted youngsters. Upon graduation, McCoy was hired as
a genetic researcher at the Brand Corporation. There, he isolated a
chemical catalyst that triggered mutation. Trying the serum on
himself, the results weren't what he intended. The experiment caused
him to grow fur, enlarged his canine teeth and increased his already
prodigious athletic ability, making him appear more like his chosen
namesake, Beast. |
