Thank you RENATO GUEDES, guest artist on 'Secret Avengers' #26, for drawing BEAST as he used to look - how he should be - before Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely turned him into The Cowardly Lion from 'Wizard of Oz'. While I believe this is merely a case of "artist's perogative", and Cat-Beast will probably return in #27, I will take what I can get!

Oh great the blue Wolverine look is back, ungh.
Beast turned into the Furry version with that hair style in 1972 (Amazing Adventures #11).
Woverine didn't show up intil 2 years later in 1974 (Incredible Hulk #181), MASKED. It wasn't until 1975 in Giant Size X-Men #1 did we see Wolverine's haircut for the first time.
If anything, Wolverine swiped Beast's look.
Also, this is how furry Beast looked for 30 years, until Morrison/Quitely changed him.
Its not "Blue Wolverine"... its simply "BEAST"
:)
Another fracture in the Comic Community.
Thank you JIM,.. also, Beast was/is not a nerdy Kelsy Grammer ( I don't care if I spelled his name wrong) he was actually more of comic relief and a prankster. But when the 90's cartoon came out, people automatically succeeded to that personification if him.
Yeah I know all that. He still looks like a blue Wolverine.
ha!
I have been a staunch opponent of the "Cat-Beast" since Quitely effed him up, 11 (!) years ago.
Wolverine is just a male X-23.
But...I like Cat Beast if only because in the Morrison/Quitely run, it made him a tragic character. He was a super intelligent mind trapped in a de-evolving body. I can't remember word for word, but there was a great bit about Hank's depression over the form, how he couldn't even operate normal machines with his catlike paws now.
Yeah, there was some nice character moments like that in the run. For me, I just didn't like the visual design of him... I felt it lacked imagination... they simply turned him into a Cat-Man. They could have still told the same stories with [arguably] better visuals.
