So you're telling me originally they created a superhero who's just a big guy who flips around and called him Beast? No animalistic traits, just big nigga who jumps?
And has monkey feet.
>>155115642yeah early x-men was kind of shit
>>155115642the important thing is that he used his enhanced mutant abilities to win at college football.
>>155115642It's still more original than Blue Wolverine.
>>155115642>big guyfor you
>>155116165Why does he have the exact same face as Wolverine? Was there some hidden meaning? wtf?
>>155116290The haircut is beastly.
>>155115642Having a smart gorilla on the team is pretty terrifying. Imagine Aleksandr Karelin if he flipped around like an anime spidermonkey, I'd rather fight Iceman and Angel than that cause this guy might rip my limbs off by accident
>>155115707that they didn't DRAW like monkey feet, but which can FUNCTION as monkey feet>>155116551yeah but he wasn't that smart in the old days was he
>>155115642Would love to see more kid beast.

Whoever came up with this just wanted an excuse to draw a superhero with their feet out all the time.
>>155117637definitely the other way aroundthey wanted to make cool heroes with interesting powers, but artists were too limited. it was the 60s, they had no CONCEPT of making new, original anatomy for things, and they could barely draw animals (MAYBE horses and birds)everything has to be completely humanlike. they can't keep it consistent otherwise. metal suit guy? has naked human body musculature. monkey mutant? just a thickly muscled human with no shoes on. radioactive anger mutant? regular thickly muscled human with a kinda truncated nose and big upper lip and also he's green (eventually).they just couldn't do anything else. and every time they try, even into the 2000s, they'd fail at keeping it consistent (look at Cat Beast, or Nocturne)
>>155116551
>>155117435These are actually pretty neat. I've always thought what they did to Beast was pretty fucked, but now I feel it more personally.Fuck the X-Men office.
Mutations as a power origin are really cool, I just don't care for the 'social commentary' around it.
>>155117938Nah, it’s just weird
>>155117960It used to work okay because they didn't make it 1:1 and because those issues were actually being solvedso it became shit once they were completely solved, in the 90s, and they were like 'but i wanna boohoo more' so they started making it about more objectively wrong lifestyles, instead of inherently neutral things like being born a particular color... and then they tore THAT wound back open because they really REALLY wanted to boohoo more (And profit from it)and in the last 3 years or so, /co/pol has decided it's all the fault of.. the only people it's not the fault of.
>>155115642I would like to have Winston Overwatch on my team
>>155117960I hate powers that alter reality or bend the elements.I mean, what’s the difference between Magneto and Storm and a couple of wizards or psychics?
>>155117978Well, I like it. I like monkey boy who tinkers with shit and just a goof ball. Feels right in line with te more laid back, gentleman scientist personality of Beast before they do all the unfortunate shit to him. Can't anyone just be nice any more?
>>155115861One of Kirby's duds.
>>155117764The disconnect with the hulk always amused me more than the mutant racism.The hulk is a big powerful rage "monster" that is just a green human with stereotypical big guy proportions.In a way, I always felt like that is She-hulk's major flaw as a concept, She incorrectly parodies a parody.I agree with >>155119642 It'd be fun to see more kid heroes who actually love their powers, even "monstrous" ones. Our fiction (and reality) has gotten to a point that previous fictional worlds look at themselves and notice they're normal by comparison. I'd imagine the kids have little worry about the whole end of the world stuff because they'd have some medium awareness about their role. Valeria is #1 in that regard, especially since her and Doom are OP in an enjoyable way.
>>155116165cute birb
>>155115642>just big nigga who jumps?Jump good.
>>155117202in the old days he was 16he's a little like Kitty Pryde in the 1990s-2000s in that he was one of very few X-Men to actually go to real schools and earn actual qualifications after "graduation" from the mansion; he even had real jobs instead of just floating around various mansions and billionaire bunkers like the rest of them
>>155115642>check early xmen>every Jean Grey bubble is her wanting to jump on Scott's cock
>>155115861It was pretty good when Roy Thomas took over. And you had some stellar art from Steranko and Adams. It would have been pretty interesting to see where they could have gone instead of being in reprint hell till Wein and Cockrum reinvented the whole thing and Claremont taking over.
monke
>>155122046yeah they could've fought the invisible man and the wolfman together, who even knows how far the idea could have gone
>>155119642>>155122082>>155117435Traced over this drawing for a more ape-like design.
>>155117879Petah
>>155122326I like it.
>>155117938wait until you read his Avengers stuff, you'll be angry about Wonder Man too
>>155115642I like male feet the character
>>155117202He wasn't smart at all at first, but already by the second issue Stan decided to make him stand out from a generic bruiser character by making him the genius of the team. At first that just involved making him use long words and read books, but anyone who gets classified as the smart one in capeshit will inevitably become a genius polymath.
>>155122114That unironically sounds like a better idea that where things have ended up.
>>155115642Has there ever been a character who wasn't "mutant mutant" but just "human mutant" but was mistaken for the former?Cause I'm sort of confident people with ape feet exist without all the flips and somersaults
>>155125187I could SWEAR there was a guy who was mutated in the womb by a nuke and he came out super deformed. He was pissed off and jealous that the X-men's mutations were gifts and meanwhile he was just an ugly cripple.
>>155117369>not calling him a wee beastieMissed opportunity
>>155122046The Adams era was so good.
>>155126361>KILL IT, KILL IT
>>155116290Less pressure to make someone look distinct in that way when the obvious blue fur makes him distinct.
>>155117418>>155117435What is he, Indian?Wear some fucking shoes.
>>155127451Feet too big and weird. You'd not only need custom shoes but since he's a kid he'd keep outgrowing them anyway.
>>155125677Thanos
>>155117960because youre dumb as fuck. Go back to school
>>155129549Cope
>>155127451he's more agile and has better balance without his shoes silly
>>155129549Damn nigger who crapped in your cereal today?
Yup. He also has ginormous hands and feet, even for a guy his size. Think he had a big cock, too?
>>155129919Why do you have to be such a faggot?
>>155118878>/co/pol has decided it's all the fault of.. the only people it's not the fault of.Post nose.
>>155115642Yes, Kirby insect monsters were also dudes in costumes
>>155127451The ground was still clean back in the 1960s.
>>155131622Wrong
>>155132013It never was
>>155131266Why does the thought of someone having a huge dong make you so insecure? Is it because you've got an itty bitty clitty dick?
>>155116165Beast came first
>>155131266why don't you like cock? you one of them self-hating guys? YOU A LESBIAN?HEY ANONS THIS GUY'S A LESBIANif he could afford quality bottom surgery they might even accept him
>>155132251I find it weird you went from talking about big cocks to rambling about mutilated cocks that fast.
>>155132057It very much was. In fact, you used to be able to wait 10 seconds before you should eat something you had dropped, unlike today where you can only wait 5.Back in the 90s, you could still wait 7 seconds.
>>155132306It was very polluted
>>155132322That was the air.It's partially why the ground is so dirty today, because all the pollutants have fallen down over time.That and accumulated food that didn't get picked up in time.
>>155115861It’s not bad just not as good as FF or Spider-Man
>>155119576>I hate powers that alter reality or bend the elements.>I mean, what’s the difference between Magneto and Storm and a couple of wizards or psychics?I don't see what's confusing about it>wizards: abilities are just whatever random bullshit the writer thinks up>psychics: can read minds or pick up or levitate objects>Storm: can summon wind currents, lightning, and other weather phenomena>Magneto: can manipulate magnetism, i.e. telekinesis but only on metal
>>155115642Wait a fucking second, why would he wear a mask when his proportions would make him obvious to recognize?
>>155132751They're terribly comfortable. In the future everyone will be wearing them.
>>155117764motherfucker I know you didn't just imply Jack Kirby had no concept of making new things.
>>155132785Jack Kirby whose most famous works are just ripoffs of Chariots of the Gods?
>>155134380Eternali aren’t famous
>>155116165Why was he now blue, dough?
>>155134399Because he was too generic and they needed to give him a thing other than big feet.
>>155134399They wanted to make him more of a werewolf, because of this his hair is styled like Wolverine's
>>155132279That's not me. >>155132082 is me. Why do you fear the penis?Do you fear your own, too?
