Beast (Hank McCoy): zodiac sign and birth chart

Beast has no canon birthday. Marvel never gives Hank McCoy one, and the comics, the cartoon and the films each date him differently. Read from his personality, he's an Aquarius: the genius with a lab, a blue coat of fur and a habit of quoting the classics mid-fight. Aries Venus and Mars add the guy who leaps first and reads the manual later.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Aquarius.

We ran Beast through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as air first: a brain that never switches off, with a warm heart.

NEBO's take

Aquarius SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAquarius

    Aquarius is the oddball genius. Hank is a world-class biochemist who also bounds up walls like a gorilla.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeTaurus

    A Taurus Moon holds on to people. In Days of Future Past, Hank builds the serum that lets Charles walk again.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeTaurus

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a very big, very blue man in a nice suit who has just said something clever.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAquarius

    Aquarius Mercury quotes Shakespeare mid-fight. In The Last Stand he's a government minister and the smartest person in the room.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries

    Aries Venus is direct. In First Class Hank bonds with Raven over feeling like an outsider, and doesn't hide it.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries

    Aries Mars acts first. In First Class he tests his own serum on himself.

What canon does give: a scientist who looks like a beast and talks like a professor. Aquarius is that exact contrast: unusual on the outside, ahead of everyone on the inside.

How he shows up

Why he's like this

Aquarius is the sign of big ideas, odd brilliance and doing things your own way. Beast hits it in scenes fans know.

  • CoreAquarius Sun

    The brainy one

    Hank McCoy is the brainy athlete among the first five X-Men, and his nickname comes from his oversized hands and feet.

    Minister and mutant

    He's the government's Secretary of Mutant Affairs: blue, fuzzy and the calmest man in the room.

  • FeelingsTaurus Moon

    Fixes things for his friends

    In 1973 Charles can't walk, and Hank invents a serum that gets him back on his feet. The price is his telepathy.

  • In a fightMars in Aries

    Tests it on himself

    Hank takes his own experimental serum to fix his feet, and it turns him into the blue, furry Beast.

  • LoveVenus in Aries

    Two outsiders

    Hank and Raven bond over not fitting in, and he is drawn to her from the start.

  • CoreAquarius Sun

    A time-travel plan that backfires
