Beast is going to be a part of X-Force after Hickman ushers in the new age of X-Men, hooray! I'm *really* hoping this will serve as a strong character rehabilitation after Bendis pretty much trashed the character and made him a petty, stupid asshole. :/
Under Bendis, Hank:
+ Broke the multiverse beyond repair bringing the O5 into the modern timeline
+ Was told by the WATCHER he was pathetic and miserable.
+ Had an 'intervention' from the other X-Men that caused him to use all the throwing wine
+ Succumbed to the Black Vortex.
I really missed the moral center/consigliere Hank, who advocated passionately for Xavier's dream and whose silly, irrepressible humor hid deeply conflicted feelings about his mutation. I hope we get that back in X-Force this October.
It's sad because Morrisson did wonderful work with him, and he's been written quite well by Hickman (New Avengers) and Rick Remender (Secret Avengers) before. But for some reason Bendis had a hate-on for Hank that sunk him ever since he took over.
