Hank McCoy is one of the geniuses behind the X-Men, a teacher of math and science at Charles' Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning, and the X-Men's physician and medic. He is one of the unfortunate members of the team who cannot pass for human in a pinch, his appearance having become more and more bestial over the years, until he reached his current almost feline form.

And if that weren't enough in and of itself, the good doctor has an understandably sizable inferiority complex about his looks, going so far as to (in one time line) break up a perfectly fine relationship between he and fellow teammate Storm because he felt she deserved to be with someone who could actually, you know, take her out to the movies. This eventually led to McCoy finding what he thought was a sympathetic voice in an online instant messaging relationship, even confiding in his online love that Professor X hadn't actually killed Magneto… he'd just wiped his memory and given him a new life. This was very valuable information to the person who he was actually talking to: the Blob and the rest of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
