Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Beast has appeared in numerous X-Men movies that demonstrated his agility and intellect, but he has some further abilities that were never depicted. Beast appeared in five of Fox's X-Men movies and the MCU's The Marvels - plus a very brief cameo in Deadpool 2.
The Beast could heal broken bones in a matter of days and repair minor wounds in mere hours. Subsequently, Beast has regained an even more rapid healing factor, more comparable to Amazing Adventures. The complexity of his accelerated healing has likely been omitted from the X-Men movies to avoid redundancy with other characters like Wolverine, whose regenerative abilities are a significant plot point.
The Beast’s resistance to toxins was likely omitted from the X-Men movies because it wasn’t pertinent to any of the narratives. Including this trait might have been seen as distracting or non-essential to the main plot. Nevertheless, it could make a thrilling update for the MCU’s X-Men, exploring the hero's intricacies in more detail.
This aspect of the Beast's abilities would have been an unnecessary addition to the X-Men movies. However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe could delve into the Beast's longevity, adding complexity to his character and exploring the implications of his extended lifespan.
A prime example of this appears in X-Men #38. During the issue, Beast's acute sense of touch alerts him to a bomb beneath his feet. McCoy would discuss this with Iceman and how it helped him to save his fellow X-Men from danger. Beast's night vision is akin to that of a cat's, allowing him to perceive minute details and movements that would be invisible to the average human. This ability is particularly useful in stealth missions and surprise attacks. It enables Beast to navigate and strategize effectively without relying on artificial light sources.
