Making his HeroClix debut, the Beast figure, which spans numbers 55-57 in the set of 96, is described as follows:
"A highly refined balance of brains and brawn, Beast brings the savvy of Perplex to the straightforward combat style of Charge and Toughness. The Rookie version, a member of the X-Men team, has a couple of clicks of Charge and then Leap/Climb combined with Toughness. The Experienced version, a member of the Defenders, keeps the same mix, and adds Perplex, due to his increasing intellect. The Veteran Beast returns to the X-Men, with a deeper dial, and more clicks of his key abilities. At 80 points, he's pricy, but his 3 damage with Perplex, 17 defense with toughness, and 10 speed with charge make him a good brawler. He also has Support near the end of his dial to help out in a pinch."
The Marvel HeroClix: Xplosion expansion is due for release on March 26. Pre-order it online now from X-World Comics and help support X-Fan! (http://x-worldcomics.com/yourvirtualstore/shopexd.asp?id=3348)
