Why The Beast?

The Beast Within refers to the inner struggle most of us go through every day to do the right thing. Its kind of like what Luke Skywalker endures at the end of Return of the Jedi. Or you know, when Wolverine struggles to remain a civilized human being, holding back the berzerker rage that so often almost consumes him. Or perhaps more appropriately, when Jean Grey is teetering on the edge of the abyss as The Phoenix. As Dark Phoenix, she is a being of pure emotion, unhindered by rational thought. That's how planets get incinerated. Come on, if you could obliterate an entire galaxy, wouldn't you want to know what it felt like? Well, the challenge is to resist that temptation and subdue the beast within.
