## Personality

Battle Beast is the perfect example of a fearsome warrior, who lives and breathes to only battle strong opponents, as he constantly seeks out formidable opponents for epic battles. His passionate need to traverse the vastness of the universe in his quest to face adversaries who possess equal or greater strength and skill can only be rivaled by the Viltrumites' very own passion for battling strong opponents.

His relentless pursuit of combat is evident in his ruthless encounters with Mark Grayson/Invincible and the new Guardians of The Globe.

In his engagements, Battle Beast shows no mercy or restraint towards the young heroes. He takes pleasure in drawing Mark's blood, even licking his lips in satisfaction. Disappointment and frustration fill him when facing opponents whom he deems unworthy, such as Invincible, Black Samson, and Monster Girl.

While Battle Beast's nature is brutal, he possesses a twisted sense of humor. He claims to kill Mark as an act of mercy, all the while wearing a sadistic smile. Battle Beast often displays condescension towards his adversaries. He refers to Invincible as "Boy" and belittles Monster Girl as a "pathetic child." His personality combines a thirst for battle, a dark sense of amusement, and a superiority complex.

However, he does adhere to a code of honor, as he decides not to kill Invincible, Black Samson, and Monster Girl, stating that extinguishing insignificant beings holds no honor.
