History

When the Terrigent mists were released upon Earth-9997, Beast, like many other previously mutated super-beings appeared not to be effected and also continued to age (at this point in his life his fur is now entirely gray.)

At some point the Beast had traveled to Wakanda where he became the science expert for the Black Panther and Queen Storm. He built defenses with the aid of Jamie Maddrox to protect that nation of Wakanda as it had become a reserve for the fleeting supply of wild animals that still existed (As meat on Earth-9997 had become scarce.) Later when the Celestial growing at Earth's core caused the redistribution/destruction of Vabradium in Earth's crust, Beast and Maddrox developed a device that maintained Wakanda's tropical eco-system when the rest of Africa became a frozen wasteland.

Later, When the reborn Captain Mar-Vel came to Wakanda with his followers to collect the Cosmic Cube for his quest to destroy Death, Beast was present. He joined the others in defending Wakanda from an attack by the army of Windego that began making frequent attacks on the nation of Wakanda.

After it was revealed that Black Panther subconsciously willed the Cosmic Cube to give sentience and human like characteristics to the animals of Wakanda, he and his band eventually began to relocate to the Savage Land with the aid of X-Men in order to escape the Windego.

Beast accompanied Black Panther and the X-Men on this mission, and the group succeeded in defeating the Windego and establishing a new home in the Savage Land.

Later, after Mar-Vel killed Death, and the people in the land of the living were left to an eternity of suffering with no death, Beast was one of the gathered minds to a meeting to determine how to solve the problem. The group, despite some misgivings, agreed that a new Death had to be created in order to ease the suffering.

Beast's current whereabouts are unknown.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Similar to those of his Earth-616 counter-part. It was later revealed that the nature of Beast's mutation (much like all super beings who have had animal like mutations) is in reality a mutagenic regression to a level of evolution similar to human beings before Celestial manipulation.

Abilities

None known.

Strength level

Unknown.

Weaknesses

None known.
