Hank McCoy was born a mutant with oversized hands and feet and joined Professor Xavier's school as one of the original X-Men. While working at the Brand Corporation, he drank an experimental serum that turned him into the blue, furry creature he is best known as. A brilliant scientist, he has served with the Avengers, Defenders, and X-Factor and sat among the Illuminati. In the Krakoa era he ran X-Force as the mutant nation's spymaster, where his obsession with security drove him to increasingly ruthless and unethical choices.
