History
Origin[]
The Man-Beast is a genetically modified wolf created by the High Evolutionary to gain human-like form and intelligence. Unlike the Evolutionary's previous New Men, he was created using a new isotope which granted him a heightened physicality and enhanced mental capabilities, which also meant greater ambition.[3] Leading a revolt and ousting his own master from his own home, the Man-Beast sought to raise an animal army that could take over the world, but was ultimately stopped by Thor.[4]

Man-Beast as the Hate Monger (unmasked)
After the Evolutionary departed for space, the Man-Beast once again attempted to usurp his citadel for his own fiendish ends,[5] and began brainwashing the few New Men who remained on Earth before he was defeated by Wolverine and Kitty Pryde.[6] Later, he would follow his creator into space and attempt to wrest control of his new society on Counter-Earth, only to be thwarted by Adam Warlock and partially devolved for his trouble.[7]
He would later emerge in the world of man under the guise of the Hate-Monger, and used a specially-designed psionic device to induce hatred in as part of his scheme to have humanity destroy itself while he repopulated the world with his fellow New Men.[8] This plan was too thwarted, this time by Spider-Man, leaving the Man-Beast to become caught in the explosion of his own device and presumed dead.[9]
