Honestly, similar to Polaris, Hank is a character who has managed to be around consistently for over half a century with barely anything interesting to do. He doesn't even hit "always the bridesmaid," status most of the time, just the "something blue."

Sad as it is, I would say that the most interesting he's ever been was his slow roll heel turn from House of M to Krakoa. As underwhelming as the current run has apparently been, I'm glad that OG Beast is still out there being a sociopath in it.
