TQQ: Beast!

Posted by & filed under The Query Quarry.

THWP:  Hi Hank!  How are you enjoying the summertime?
Beast:  I’m loving the summertime, thank you!
THWP:  Congratz on your nuptials!  We have to ask, was T’Challa at your wedding?  No bad vibes there, we hope!
Beast:  No, T’Challa was not present at our wedding.
THWP:  We understand. And frankly speaking, we’re not so sure if we’d want our ex-spouses being present at our weddings either. So where’s the honeymoon?
Beast:  The honeymoon will take place in France.
THWP:  France? Nice! The country where french fries and french toast come from!  By the way, when people call you Dr. McCoy, do you ever get that odd Star Trek feeling?
Beast:  Haha, well, I’ve never really thought of that but I suppose I might now.
THWP:  You were an original member of the X-Men. You were an Avenger. You are a Secret Avenger. What’s next?
Beast:  I honestly have no idea about the future in that department. Most ideas are presented to me and I just take advantage of them.
THWP:  How’s Wolverine holding up? It must not be easy being the Headmaster at the Jean Grey School.
Beast:  Well, Logan is doing as good as he will ever be able to.
THWP:  We certainly wish him well. We were just as surprised as anyone was, when he became Headmaster there. If you had to grade his performance, with “A” being the best and “F” being the worst, what would you grade him?
Beast:  You know, I’d have to say that he has his “F” days sometimes, but he really does his best and he always has us if he needs help. Most days really do turn out to be “A” days.
THWP:  We miss Wonder Man. When’s the last time you partied with Simon Williams? Never mind the Revengers, how’s he doing?
Beast:  Honestly, it has been years since I’ve seen that man.
THWP:  Tell us a funny Bobby Drake story?
Beast:  The only funny Bobby Drake story I have to tell was when he was a young teenager getting used to his powers and he had always wanted to fly. So he shot his hands down to his sides hoping to shoot into the air but instead ice came out of his hands and he ended up stuck to the ground. Poor thing.
THWP:  What is the wildest thing you ever invented in a lab?
Beast:  The wildest thing I ever invented in the lab would have to be a couple of years ago when I accidentally made some pink slime and it ended up being alive.
THWP:  So, you accidentally created life? What happened next?
Beast:  Well, after life was created I used a formula to kill the living cells.
THWP:  That must have been a frightening moment!
Beast:  Oh, it wasn’t that bad. For me, anyway. The students were a little freaked out. Yes, this happened during a class.
THWP:  Who’s the better scientist, you or Hank Pym?
Beast:  Well, we both know that Pym has been through ups and downs, not saying I haven’t, but when it comes to scientific discoveries I do not think that one is better than the other. Some great credit is owed to Pym for his discoveries over the years. I admire his work.
THWP:  Tell us something about Ororo that might surprise most people?
Beast:  Most of the things I have to say would most likely embarrass her, so, if it’s alright with you I will just keep that to myself.
