Beast

Few characters capture the thrill of cross-publisher spectacle quite like this version of Beast, whose catalog journey begins with the landmark DC gegen Marvel #1 in 1996 — a Copper/Modern Age debut that dropped him straight into one of comics' most celebrated collision events. Published under the Panini Deutschland banner, this Beast has built a remarkable 90-appearance legacy across titles like X-Men, Marvel Origins, and Die furchtlosen X-Men, spanning an impressive thirty years and counting. Along the way he's shared pages with heavy hitters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Iceman, placing him squarely at the heart of some genuinely collector-worthy storytelling — four of his appearances carry recognized key-issue status, which is no small distinction. Whether you're a devoted X-Men completist or a fan of the German-language Marvel publishing world, Beast's sustained presence across three decades makes him a rewarding thread to pull.
