Battle Beast is a formidable and fan-favorite character from the Invincible comic book series, created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Cory Walker. First introduced in Invincible #19, Battle Beast is an alien warrior of the Viltrumite-controlled universe, known for his unmatched combat prowess, towering physical presence, and an insatiable hunger for battle. He resembles a humanoid white lion, adorned in heavy armor, and is driven by a singular obsession: to find and fight the most powerful opponents in the universe.

Unlike many characters in the Invincible universe, Battle Beast doesn’t seek power, fame, or political influence. His sole purpose is to engage in honorable combat against worthy foes. This code of honor makes him a complex and intriguing character. Despite his bloodlust, he is not a villain in the traditional sense. He refuses to kill the weak or those who do not pose a challenge. For him, combat is a sacred art.

Battle Beast quickly establishes himself as one of the most powerful beings in the series. He easily defeats Invincible (Mark Grayson) in their first encounter, showing a level of strength and combat skill that rivals even the Viltrumites. His brutal efficiency, regenerative abilities, and raw power make him nearly unstoppable in battle.

His most notable storyline includes joining forces with Allen the Alien in a war against the Viltrumite Empire. In his final battle, Battle Beast fights to the death against Thragg, the most powerful Viltrumite, in one of the most brutal and epic showdowns in the series. Even in death, Battle Beast maintains his warrior's dignity, dying with honor after fulfilling his ultimate goal: Facing the strongest opponent.

Battle Beast's legacy endures as a symbol of pure combat and strength, making him one of the most memorable characters in Invincible.
