X-Men #21
In "Au commencement...", Beast finds himself hunted by the Constrictor, forcing him to defend himself in a tense, high-stakes fight. Afterward, he reconnects with Jennifer Nyles—his former friend, now struggling to remember him due to a mindwipe by Professor X—only for the Super Apes to suddenly appear and seize her. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Jae Lee with inks by Tim Dzon and colors by Mike Thomas, this 1996 X-Men issue blends personal tension with escalating danger. The cover by Joe Madureira and Tim Townsend captures the moment’s urgency with striking intensity.
In a tense showdown that blurs loyalty and memory, Beast faces off against the hired assassin Constrictor, only to find himself drawn into a reunion with Jennifer Nyles—his old friend, now unaware of their past due to a mindwipe by Professor X. As the Super Apes descend to seize her, Hank must navigate a fragile alliance with a woman who no longer knows his name.
