The Man-Beast (originally Super-Beast) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Publication history

[edit]

Man-Beast first appeared in Thor #134 (November 1966), and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.[1] He is first referred to as "Man-Beast" in issue #135.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

The Man-Beast was once an ordinary red wolf before being captured and mutated by the High Evolutionary - a being intent on creating an army of New Men from animals.[2][3] After being transformed, the wolf is pushed to physical and mental perfection and gains a hatred of all other forms of life.[3]

The creature, now calling itself the Man-Beast, is launched into space and lands on Counter-Earth, a planet created by the High Evolutionary.[4][5] The Man-Beast, seeking to become a conqueror, poses as Counter-Earth's president, Rex Carpenter. The High Evolutionary sends Adam Warlock, who after a lengthy war defeats the Man-Beast and his followers. During Warlock's battle with the Man-Beast, the High Evolutionary gives him the Soul Gem, which becomes his primary weapon.[4][6][7]

The Man-Beast eventually re-emerges and allies with the Bi-Beast to battle Thor and Iron Man. Defeated again, the Man-Beast later discovers the existence of the Infinity Gems and steals four of the gems from Adam Warlock. Warlock eventually stops the Man-Beast and is only prevented from killing him by Captain America. The Man-Beast is defeated when the High Evolutionary, with the aid of Quicksilver, reverts the creature back into a red wolf.[4]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

The Man-Beast is a red wolf evolved to the peak of physical and mental potential, possessing superhuman physical abilities and senses. He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and a powerful psychic capable of manipulating emotions, creating force fields, and generating antimatter fields capable of disintegrating positive matter.
