History
Little is detailed about Beast’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed that it followed much the same path as Beast (Earth-616).
Presumably, Beast is at the Xavier Institute when it is attacked, and arrives at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier with the other X-Men and Magneto.
With the extremely varied bunch all assembled on the Helicarrier, Nick explains how serious he believes the situation to be; that it is the end of the world. He also explains that whatever the histories of those assembled, they are all on the same side. It is not clear whether it was felt that his intellectual skills would be more use aboard the Helicarrier than his martial skills would be on the surface, or vice-versa. Either way, at some point he is infected, and he and Reed Richards head to the Xavier Institute, and reprogram Cerebro to search for uninfected humans.
Finding a sizeable stash of meat in Latveria and the surrounding area, they and a huge horde of their zombified peers head off to lay siege to Castle Doomstadt. A few of them manage to get through the magical force-field protecting the castle, and confront Dr Doom, Scarlet Witch, and Ashley J. Williams. Scarlet Witch is bitten by the zombified Punisher, and the other two, make their getaways.
Presumably, Beast gets held up by the risen Deadite Legion, and at some point returns to New York.
He eventually gets his head blown off by a Power Cosmic imbued Colonel America.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Genetic Atavism: It is possible that Beast's mutation is a result of genetic atavism (or genetic traits that resurface in a species after many years of dormancy). He also possesses neotenous (or traits in a descendant that resemble those of an ancestor organism, like a chimpanzee trait in a human) characteristics, which would explain why he has a big modern brain with an ape-like physique.
- Superhuman Strength: He possesses superhuman strength sufficient to lift about 10 tons.
- Superhuman Agility: He has the agility of a great ape and the acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialist and acrobat.
- Superhuman Stamina: The Beast's highly advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than that of an ordinary human. As a result, he can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to affect him.
