Codename: Beast

Powers/Abilities:
Superhuman Strength: Hank is gifted with a good level of physical strength enabling him to lift approximately 1.5 tons. This strength works through his whole body, increasing his leg-strength as well as his lifting power. When combined with his superhuman agility and his high-level training, he becomes capable of quite impressive acrobatic feats.
Superhuman Agility/Co-ordination: Hank possess a superhuman level of agility, much like a great jungle cat. Among other effects, this power results in the following: Hank is multidexterous, capable of writing calligraphy and such with either hand or foot, and is quite capable of using each to do a separate task. He is able to drop great distances without injury, and using his super-flexible frame and great strength, his capable of reaching great running speeds on open ground. Needless to say, he's also quite adept and leaping and jumping.
Superhuman Senses: Hanks senses have become superhuman, equal to several known animals. His eyes are catlike, great for seeing in the dark. Hank's eyes also extend faintly into the infrared and ultraviolet spectra and are of course superhumanly acute. His ears have the acuity of a hunting dog, and he is capable of hearing slightly into the infra and ultrasonic ranges. His nose has been augmented as well, capable of tracking over long distances and recognizing others by scent.
Superhuman Stamina: Hank possess a measure of superhuman stamina and endurance equal in magnitude to his other superhuman attributes. On top of this, Hank possess a low level healing factor enabling him to heal about 3-4 times faster then your average healthy human.
Misc-Powers: Hank possess a few other physical mutations, some merely by-products while others more notable. For one, his fangs are quite sharp, and his fingers/toes end in razor sharp claws. Secondly, Hank's body has evolved the ability to secrete potent pheromones enabling him to attract members of the opposite sex.
Genius: Hank is a bona-fide genius. Hank is considered one of the world's experts on mutations and evolutionary human biology. He has extensive knowledge of genetics, biochemistry, and a variety of other scientific fields possessing multiple PhDs. He has shown the intellectual ability to invent wondrous devices, and to solve difficult problems quite quickly. Hank is also an accomplished keyboard player.
Appearance: Of all the X-men, Hank has probably seen the most numerous and extreme changes to his physical form. Currently though, his appearance is perhaps the most extreme yet. Gone is his formerly shorter, heavy-set body. His limbs have lengthened, his mass increased and his frame enlarged. His body is still of course covered in the same soft, deep blue fur that he's famous for. For all his beastial-looks, Hank carries himself as a gentleman, and dresses quite nicely. Usually in some form of X-uniform, but he's also often seen in jeans, a T-shirt and a lab coat while conducing some experiment.
Weakness: Hank's major weakness, is his inhuman appearance. He is incapable of interacting normally with society and oftentimes is seen as a "monster" by normal baseline humans. At the school, this isn't a problem, but as a world renowned scientist, this can often have troublesome consequences.
History: Much the same as found on most Internet websites. Caused his own major mutations, joined the Avengers, etc..etc. The major difference being his new appearance and powerboost which was gained during his recovery from a coma he was knocked into during a confrontation with Magneto. He woke and settled into a doctorly role among the young mutants and staff of Xavier's institute while going through his own projects.
While attending the institute, he became aware that his DNA had been obtained and used in a creation -- Milo. The boy appeared on campus and due to his appearence and mannerisms, Hank investigated his geentics to search for relations to Kurt Wagner.. and instead came up with so much more. He currently shares an unofficial custody of Milo with Kurt as well as Mystique, but he has taken on the main role of being parent; some think this is a paternal instinct factor of his mutation.
While being the resident doctor, survivalism teacher and a full time father, Hank also is a member of the official X-Team. Beyong the institute, Hank also is known as an ambasador for the mutant population and attendens meetings having to due with mutant relations.
