The Age of Apocalypse version of Beast — same genius, none of the morality. Dark Beast is a sadistic geneticist who escaped to the main universe and spent years secretly experimenting on mutants. A dark mirror of one of the X-Men's most beloved members, he proves that intelligence without conscience is monstrous.
