beast`s appearance reverted?

Vargas is important because he proves that Psylocke is a liability to the X-Men.

We're talking about the guy killed off panel as a mere footnote in 'Blinded by the Light,' right?

"killed" and
So was Gateway. Is he a P.O.S. character?

... acting like Blinded by the Light was high literature.

Well, I liked it, but whatever. But, no, Gateway is cool and always has been. Vargas... not so much. Just my opinion.

We've discussed this. The lower part of his cat-jaw is blocked by his shoulder and appears in at a different angle.

Sorry. This is the one I meant to post.

Perhaps its an artists protest?

It's not a secondary mutation. It's a result of Sage's interference with his DNA after Vargas broke every bone in his body.
Claremont canon overrules Morrison canon.

No it doesn't, there's being cheeky, then there is just hopeless fanboyism. Steven Sanders is right, Morrison and Quitely are the ones to make Feline Henry canon as a secondary mutation. Deal with it.

or just laziness

YOu don't need to be able to lay an egg to tell when one is rotten. That said, that SA #26 art is fantastic, IMO, missing cat beast or no.

Hey, Mr. Sanders, always a pleasure. I still can't agree with you on the SA #26 art, but I will say I've seen far worse. Not my cup of tea, although I do have to admit the artist did do pretty good pencil work when it came to fur. The hands are wonky, though.

Beast in Secret Avengers.
Attachment 92414

Beast in X-Men Legacy
Attachment 92415

actually, i think the one in legacy is still a kind of cat form judging from the ears ....

[Magnusilver]

Sorry. This is the one I meant to post.

Can't tell what this is. It's neither a cat nor an ape. Or it can be both a cat and an ape.

Anyway, Beast still looks like a cat under Bradshaw's pencil in watxm.

Doesn't look like he's reverted to me. I think this is just a case of artists having different styles with which to depict characters. Nothing has been reverted. He's still cat-Beast. I don't like that style all that much, but at the moment it's not even she tenth thing wrong with what's been going on with Beast lately. I lost all respect for him for his handling of Schism and Utopia, which had nothing to do with his appearance.

[SoupStainedTie]

The "neither cat nor an ape" look has been going on for awhile. Barely anyone draws him as as the full on cat, complete with the "cat" legs and feet that Quitely intended and the other New X-Men artists continued:



I believe it started with Astonishing, when Cassaday took liberties with the feet (either because he couldn't draw the cat legs, didn't want to and the editors didn't care, or the editors told him to change it themselves), and reverted them to ape-feet:



After that, it was a free for all. Now we have everything from Mr. Sanders' interpretation, to most artists just drawing an ape-beast with a teeny bit of cat thrown in (slightly more cat-like ears, a cat-like mouth in Bachalo's case, or just a little cat nose). His "paws" that Morrison had him struggling with have all but returned to 5 ape fingers.

But this Secret Avengers issue might be the first time the artist didn't even throw in the slightest cat-like feature....and was allowed to, for whatever reason.

[BLACKWINGS]

Sorry. This is the one I meant to post.

This is the only Beast I accept as canon. My flippin' goodness Bachalo makes that guy look awesome. I don't care about consistency, I just want an artist to make Beast look good.
