## Personality

### X-Men: Days of Future Past

Despite the fact that; mutants had been treated unfairly; by most other humans, Hank is honorable and moral; to the point that; he has never given; into his inner darkness.

Hank is extremely brave and selfless; to the point that; he is willing to sacrifice his own life; in order to protect his both his friends and family alike.

Hank is extremely polite, respectful and well-mannered; unless he is aggravated or provoked; becoming extremely aggressive and violent.

### X-Men: Dark Phoenix

Despite these positive traits of Hank's, there is a dark side to his personality; for example, he can be quite aggressive, cold, callous, cruel, ruthless, vengeful and violent; if he is provoked enough. After Hank's girlfriend, Raven Darkholme was (accidentally) killed; by Jean Grey; who possessed; by the Phoenix Force and not in control of her actions at the time, he had informed Erik Lehnsherr of Jean's role in Raven's death; knowing full-well that; Erik would try to kill Jean; regardless of the fact that; she was not in control of her actions at the time.

Hank had; even joined forces; with Erik and the Brotherhood of Mutants, partly to get revenge for Raven's death; but mainly because he believed that; Jean was becoming a threat towards both humans and mutants alike; due to the fact that; she was possessed; by the Phoenix Force at the time, as he wanted to have Jean eliminated; before she became a danger to everyone.

During the Brotherhood of Mutants's confrontation against the X-Men, Hank willingly fought against his allies, friends and teammates; without any hesitation. He; even went as far as to attack Scott Summers and would have killed him; if Charles Xavier had not telepathically incapacitated him; with his cerebrokinesis; proving that; Hank will not hesitate to attack or; even kill his allies, if they are presented as obstacles between him and his goals.

It wasn't; until Charles had reminded Hank that; Raven would not want him to do this that; he stood; by the X-Men to protect Jean from the D'Bari aliens.

But despite this, Hank has not truly forgiven Charles for his disgusting actions and obviously never will.
