Abilities
Man-Beast has the abilities of both man and wolf, evolved to their peak mental and physical potential. He is an extraordinary genius, with superhuman strength (lifting 25 tons), speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and senses, and he can see into both infrared and ultraviolet ranges. He is highly durable and regenerates from injury, but it is vulnerable to certain high pitched sounds. His vast psychic powers include telepathy, emotion manipulation, hypnotically controlling those of lesser will power, and erecting force barriers capable of repelling Thor's hammer or anti matter barriers capable of disintegrating positive matter. He can possess or adopt the form of others and transform his host body into a replica of his own form.

Man-Beast has extensive combat knowledge, sensing vulnerable pressure points in the bodies of others. He is a master planner, and an accomplished geneticist and engineer, highly skilled in all known sciences. He once used an alleged advanced scientific technique to disrupt another's sense of time, rendering him unable to move, though he actually may have done this telepathically. His science and technology knowledge was further enhanced by transferring Avian data via Bi-Beast.

Weapons
Man-Beast has worn body armor and used various advanced weapons. He created a Genetic Accelerator duplicate to generate New Men to serve as his followers. His hate amplifier gathers, amplifies, and transmits emotional energy, usually hatred. His cape can teleport himself and anything within its folds. He briefly controlled the Infinity Thrall, which accessed the combined power of the Infinity Gems, (Mind, Power, Space and Time). For a short period of time he possessed the scepter containing Isotope E, through which he could focus his psi-blasts, as well as evolved or devolve others.

Significant Issues
Official Handbook Bibliography

The Man-Beast is the most powerful, and most evil of the New Men, animals evolved by the High Evolutionary into human-like intellects and forms. Following many successes, the High Evolutionary sought a warrior race to defend his Citadel of Science on Mount Wundagore should mankind lapse into another world war. The Evolutionary developed Isotope C, which could endow new Knights of Wundagore with greater strengths. Isotope C was tested on the first wolf, which the Evolutionary had evolved, but an unexpected visit from the Norse god Thor distracted him, and the creature was left under the Genetic Accelerator too long, evolving the creature to the end point of human and lupine evolution. Hating all life, this Man-Beast attacked Thor and the Evolutionary, then used the Genetic Accelerator to form its own New Men army.
