You scored as Beast. Codename: The Beast Full Name: Henry P. McCoy Mutant Powers: Increased agility, strength and stamina. Henry "Hank" McCoy is a founding member of the X-Men. Among all his original teamates, Hank had the best childhood, between loving parents, and so his temper and way of living was one of the happiest at the mansion. Beast's mutation at first was hardly noticable, but while away from the team, Hank made a terrible mistake: testing a new substance that he was using to study the x-factor. Beast tried the substance on himself. This caused a further mutation on his body, covering him with gray fur (that later became blue), fangs and great nails. He had then indeed become a "beast". One of the only students at the mansion who took up an education beyond that of the Xavier school, Beast's studies were in the biogenetic area of his field. Possessing a quick wit, a wry sense of humour, and scholarly wisdom, he also has a penchant for quoting the classics and poetry. Despite his beastly exterior, he is possesess incredible genius, making him one of the most intellingent minds in the world. </td> Beast 70% Shadowcat 65% Nightcrawler 65% Iceman 65% Banshee 55% Archangel 50% Cyclops 50% Professor X 45% Colossus 45% Storm 45% Rogue 45% Wolverine 40% Jean Grey 40% Which X-Men member are You? created with QuizFarm.com

The relative inaccuracy of this non-scientific survey has left me quite incredulous. However, I find my personal assignation to be quite apropos.

Yeah... That happened right around the time that I decided that the main-line Marvel books were too annoying to bother keeping up with.

Basically, the writer at the time decided to fuck the hell out of Marvel history by introducing "secondary mutations" which show up many, many years after the original expression of powers. Emma Frost gained the ability to turn into organic diamond (shades of Colossus, anyone?), Archangel's blood became some kind of omni-cure liquid, Iceman can't change back to human, Beast became cat-man, etc.

Essentially, the head writer (Grant Morrison?) whined "But I want them to do thiiiiis! ::stomps foot::"
