As though his beastly appearance is a facade. In most cases this tends to be true, as he abhors violence. In defense of himself or another, Hank is just as fierce and beastly as his appearance would suggest. He's always attentive to the students and other staff alike, doing what he can to help with.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong><br/>All the Sciences<br/>Chemistry<br/>Tweaking random dveices and inventions<br/><br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Hank was a child prodigy discovered when both he and the professor were young. Not being of age yet, it was somewhat a shock when the professor offered hank, yet to come into his mutant abilities yet, a chance at his new, yet prestigious school for the gifted. The first version of the school. It was here that hank began to excel, but unfortunately the professor was not the only to take note of his abilities. Some criminals captured his parents in an attempt to force hank to use a theorized truth serum he'd developed plans for.<br/><br/>Hank came into conflict with the pair upon meeting, and during the scuffle one his fathers experiment jars shattered, drenching him in highly irradiated chemicals. Instead of getting sick, however, the shock triggered the Z gene, activating it. This is how he became beast. Wild at first, he almost tore apart the criminals before Xavier stopped him, and talked him down. This was the start of their friendship, both in business and personal life. Even after he spent time abroad from the school Hank returned when he learned of the troubles they had run into.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Gamma<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Created<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>Superhuman Strength:</em>Hank has strength far outstripping human measures, to the point where he can now lift about 10 tons, which is sufficient for him to smash through a brick wall with a single punch and to tie an iron barbell into a knot, as well as smash a tank with his bare hands and punch the ground to create a massive shock wave. This strength also extends to the muscles in his legs, allowing him to leap a height of 15 feet in a standing high jump and a withe of 25 feet in a standing broad jump.<br/><br/><em>Superhuman Speed:</em>Beast can run and move at speeds that are slightly beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete, despite his abnormal size. He can run at speeds up to 40 miles an hour over short distances, particularly if he runs on all fours. It also allows Beast to attack opponents before they can react and pull their trigger fingers and keep up with opponents who can move at low-level superhuman speeds.<br/><br/><em>Superhuman Stamina:</em>Beast's highly advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than that of an ordinary human. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before the buildup of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.<br/><br/><em>Superhuman Durability:</em>Beast's bodily tissues are harder and more resistant to certain types of injuries than the bodies of normal humans. His physiology can withstand great impact forces, though he can be injured by many types of conventional weapons such as standard firearms and bladed weapons. However, he can withstand physical impacts, such as falling from several stories or being physically struck by many superhumanly strong beings that would either severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.<br/><br/><em>Superhuman Agility:</em>Beast's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. While in his simian form, he has the agility of a great ape combined with the acrobatic prowess of an Olympic level gymnast. He can walk a tightrope or a slack rope as easily as most people can walk on a sidewalk. He can also walk on his hands for many hours, or perform a complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He can easily match or top any Olympic record in gymnastics.<br/><br/><em>Superhuman Reflexes:</em>Beast's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are on levels beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. His training with the X-Men, as well as his experience battling enemies has granted him the reaction time to evade gunfire. He can react at low-level superhuman speeds. His reflexes are a partial reason why the Beast is able to be so agile and fast, despite the abnormal bulk of his ape-like form.<br/>Superhuman Dexterity: He can perform many tasks with his feet as easily as a human could do with his hands. His manual and pedal dexterity are so great that he can write using both hands at once or tie knots in rope with his toes.<br/><br/><em>Regenerative Healing Factor:</em>Beast's metabolism enables him to repair mild to moderate injuries much faster than a normal human. For instance, he can recover from minor ailments, such as a severe cold or fever within a few hours. More severe injuries, like broken bones, used to heal within a few days, whereas normal humans might take many weeks or even months. However, his healing abilities have increased to the point where he recovers from mild to moderate injuries within a few hours. But still, he cannot regenerate destroyed organs or severed limbs.<br/><br/><em>Superhuman Senses:</em>Hank possesses enhanced, acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals, enabling him to see and hear distant objects more clearly than a normal human, and identify and track someone purely by scent. He also possesses cat-like night-vision that also allows him to see even in near-total darkness and when asked by Nick Fury, he was able to identify that it was the real Colossus when he came back to life all by scent.<br/>Minor Pheromone Manipulation: Beast has the ability to secrete pheromones to attract members of the opposite sex.<br/><br/><em>Razor-Sharp Claws and Fangs:</em>Beast sports retractable, 3" razor sharp claws at the tip of each finger and toe. Their natural edges, coupled with his strength, are sufficient to rend most conventional materials including flesh, wood, stone, and even metal effortlessly and enable him to climb up vertical surfaces by wedging his fingers and toes into the smallest of cracks. He possesses elongated canines that he can use, if he chooses to do so, as effective weapons in close quarter combat situations.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong><br/>Genius Level Intellect<br/>Multilingual<br/>Science!<br/>Engineering<br/>Simian Brawling<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taken/Taught:</strong><br/><strong>Philosophy:</strong>Focusing on Mutant powers and morality.<br/><strong>Languages:</strong>Hank Teaches a number of Foreign Language Classes<br/><strong>General Sciences:</strong>Practical, basic use science.
