He was actually originally grey. That was a thing for a lot of Marvel characters in their early years; they kept wanting to do a grey character but they kept needing to change it. Happened to the Hulk, Iron Man and Beast.
It wasn’t so much that they wanted a gray character; early printing just didn’t do color all that well and a lot of characters started out gray because of printing errors.
This is a whole thing about clones and engineering a new body and mind transfers, the tldr is this is evil beast and he’s made himself a new body with white fur for some reason
Oh okay. I missed that dark beast got a new body. I’m assuming dark beast (evil beast) is the same one from the AoA timeline.
I think I remember reading about Krakoa and Beast goes a little bit too evil with X-Force. Someone brings a beast from the past to talk sense into Krakoa beast. I haven’t been reading the more recent runs.

He isn’t as blue as I remember. Is he using a new conditioner?
