Update on my post on Cat Beast (he may really come, we don't know yet!)...
It seems to be getting stronger, what I thought of a month earlier:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/1uvyxzd/i\_have\_a\_strong\_feeling\_cat\_beast\_will\_return/](https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/1uvyxzd/i_have_a_strong_feeling_cat_beast_will_return/)
The latest X-Men and Alien crossover seems to be set during the early Astonishing X-Men (Vol 03) era (2004 - 2013) and features Beast in his cat form.
I believe he will return to his cat-look after the DNX crossover ends, ushering a return to the 2000s quirkiness.
Prove me wrong!
