Beast Man is one of the henchmen of the evil wizard Skeletor. Covered with bright orange fur, Beast Man is generally considered to be second in command after Skeletor. In addition to great physical strength, Beast Man has the ability to mentally control all animals. Every time the evil Skeletor is defeated by the heroic He-Man and his allies, he usually takes his aggression out on poor Beast Man. Under his breath (so Skeletor can't hear him), Beast Man is always complaining about the evil wizard and vows that one day Skeletor will be kneeling before him. That day has yet to come.The 1987 live-action movie:Beast Man also appears in the live action Masters of the Universe movie in 1987. Although credited as 'Beastman' (all one word), he is presented as the Beastman within the movie. Played by Tony Carroll, he is portrayed somewhat differently to other incarnations, appearing as a savage minion of Skeletor's, who merely growls instead of speaking. Although his lack of speech might indicate a lower level of intelligence than his usual depiction, the character is shown as capable of using high-tech weapons, working in a team and following orders. (He is also seen to carry a rather battered, simple sword at his waist, although is not seen actually using it in the movie.) When Skeletor incinerates Saurod for the broader team's failure, Beast Man clutches at his master's leg and makes a great show of begging for his life.Redesigned by European comic artist Moebius, Beast Man has the same concepts as his familiar version, yet at the same time has a noticeably different appearance, with longer, browner fur rather than his usual orange, no tribal facepaint and a possibly Samurai-influenced new design for his chest armor.Although drawn to resemble his film counterpart, Beast Man of the movie's comic book adaptation has more in common with the cartoon and toy versions. He talks and even replaces Blade as Evil-Lyn's helper during the scene of her interrogating Kevin Corrigan.The film makes no mention of his ability to control animals. Show less «
