    Hank McCoy doubles as both gym and science teacher. And he's the most popular instructor at Bayville High. That's about all I appreciated from this ep, which isn't bad, at all, just a little boring in re-telling the story of how the Beast came to join the X-Men. Most of it is your usual, Jekyl/Hyde, monster movie stuff, as Hank tries to control the beast within that's dying to get out. Yawn. Seen this a million times. There was alot going on in this episode, with Kitty buying a dumb hat to ace a test and Spyke being unreliable to the rest of the team. So stuffed with other things going on, that no one sub-plot gets the development or attention it deserves.moreless

    Great episode. Hank McCoy becomes the Beast and after a "little" fight with the X-Men, he moves to the Xavier Institute and becomes a different kind of teacher.
    Be sure not to miss the scene where Spyke calms the Beast down reciting Shakespeare. It's awesome.
    Also very interesting is the fact that Hank and Xavier already knew each other. Hank tried to hide his mutant form with a secret formula he made. But when he the serum doesn't work anymore, he must accept what he is: a mutant.moreless
