Cat faced beast

[Brian Braddock]

Man, used to love the Cary Nord/Andrew Pepoy art combo on Mutant X.

Now, they drew a great Brute.

Nord kicked ass while he was on Conan, too. I like his work.

Is this their art? Cause i loved this guy who started the series!

this is one of my favorite incarnation of beast:

He kept experminting on himself till he became uber powerfull but lost his intelligence so he renamed himself brute. Great stories there he had the mind of a child but could remember he used to be smart.

Since this has turned into a beast ange thread i also liked this version of Angel:

his name was the fallen and he could breathe fire.

I'd love to see Nord's take on some of the DC characters.

I think he's tailor - made for Batman.

I think that's Tom Raney - unless I'm mistaken.

I wasn't too big a fan of Brute. First off, his design makes absolutely no sense. He's primarily aquatic but he has hooves? Yeah, those'll work underwater real well. Plus, part of the reason I love Beast is because he acts like an immature wise-ass a lot, but in reality he's smarter and wiser than just about all of the other X-Men put together. Brute was fine as a character and his childlike intelligence did cause a lot of problems that grew into really good stories in Mutant X, but I'd never want 616 Beast to get to that point. I like him smart.

The Fallen was a jerk. I liked him.

The desing didn't have to make sense that was the point, and brute worked perfectly in the context of that series.

Those are indeed by Tom Raney. Nord came onto Mutant X later in the series, presumably because Raney couldn't keep up with a monthly ongoing. Raney's never stuck to one title for long.

I would prefer the ape-like Beast, but I can live with the cat-like--especially since his legs are now in proportion to his body. But I really wish Cassaday would come up with a better costume for Hank. Every time I see him I think 'Playtex girdle'.

They also explained the Goat legs. They weren't there when he orginally became the brute, they were changed to goat legs by Mutant X's version of Inferno I believe.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah, I must have missed that issue of Mutant X. I only read about half the series.

 

[RAMORE]

you should pick the whole run up it was really good.
