With his enhanced strength and powers, Professor Power seeks to get revenge against Charles Xavier by attacking those that Xavier views as his children, namely members of the X-Men. Three days later, the Beast is at Kennedy airport with his girlfriend Vera Cantor to meet his parents who are coming to New York to visit their son. Hank is excited to reunite with his parents as he hasn't seen them since he first joined the X-Men years earlier. The Beast is a little concerned about meeting his parents because they were uneasy about him being a mutant before he further mutated himself further and grew fur. While his father, Norton, is happy to see his son and is proud that Henry was a member of the Avengers, however, his mother Edna is taken aback by what her son appears to be.
