1) Like the other original X-Men, the Beast was given a standard training uniform by Xavier. His version, however, included no boots or gloves, as they would hinder his ability to cling to or bounce off walls. [X-Men (1st series) #43 backstory]
-) Jean Grey later redesigned the training uniforms and, while hers changed into a more “female” version, the ones of the male X-Men more or less stayed the same. She only added a red belt and the yellow shirts were no longer covering the entire upper body. [X-Men (1st series) #27]
2) After the team had proved themselves in battle time and again, Xavier rewarded them with the right for individual costumes. This set was again designed by Jean, whom Xavier had secretly told of this plan before. [X-Men (1st series) #39]
3) During the time Hank had left the X-Men to work for the Brand Corporation, he discovered a chemical factor that caused mutations. Drinking a serum derived from that factor, he further mutated and was now a true Beast. [Amazing Adventures #11]
4) After a couple of days, the gray fur changed color to blue/black. [Amazing Adventures #15] In this look, the Beast was a member of both the Avengers and later on the Defenders.
   
5/6) Right after the original five X-Men reunited to form X-Factor, Hank was kidnapped by a scientist who experimented with a mutation repressing device on him. Now again looking human, the Beast could, just like his teammates, switch between costumes and appear as either member of the mutant team X-Terminators or the mutant hunters X-Factor. [X-Factor #4-5]
7) After they saved New York from Apocalypse and his Horsemen, X-Factor finally ended their charade and exposed their cover to the media. They became celebrities and a thankful designer, whom the team had rescued earlier that day, created a new look for them. The new costumes were close to the X-Terminator uniforms but the color schemes were different. [X-Factor #26] Even after an encounter with Infectia caused Hank to mutate again, he still wore the brown and yellow outfit of top of his fur, sans mask. [X-Factor #31]
-) During Inferno the Beast stopped wearing the costume and returned to the shorts he was wearing as a member of the Avengers and Defenders. Once more, he stuck to this look for a very long time, even after he and the other original five rejoined the X-Men.
8) When the X-Men were abducted to space to help battle an alien invasion, they had nothing to wear but some Shi’Ar mining suits and other uniforms. The exact capabilities of the suit worn by the Beast are unknown. [Uncanny X-Men #342]
-) Back on Earth, Hank returned to his usual look.
   
9) For a time, the Beast had left the X-Men to devote more time to his biochemical studies. When he returned, the X-Men adopted some sort of team look. Each costume had a big X across the chest area and Hank’s version included many gadgets and pockets and a mask with red goggles. They were an early version of the special glasses used by the X-Treme X-Men team. [Uncanny X-Men #381]
10) After the X-Treme X-Men left the mansion, they came up with a set of new costumes, probably to set themselves further apart from the other X-Men groups. The Beast’s outfit still included some pockets and gadgets, though allowed more freedom of movement than the version he wore before. [X-Treme X-Men #1]
11) Massive injuries forced Hank to return to Westchester. During recovery, he experienced a secondary mutation, resulting in a giant, bulky cat-like appearance. Just like the other X-Men at the mansion, Hank no longer wears a bright costume, but is now using some leather outfits that almost look like street clothes. The members have a vast supply of different shirts, coats and jackets from which to pick. [New X-Men #114]
12) Beginning with the reorganization of the X-Men squads after Magneto’s attack on New York City, many members assumed new colorful costumes to replace the previous black leather look. Hank's new suit consists of black armbands with yellow trim, a set of pants with a large yellow 'X' emblazened on it, and no boots or shirt. [Astonishing X-Men (3rd series) #1]
