Do you think beast should lead an x-men team and should the x-writers improve the way they draw him compared to rest of the x-men.
Beast
Character » Beast appears in 9635 issues.
A founding member of the X-Men, Dr. Hank McCoy is a mutant possessing animal-like strength and agility. Despite being covered in blue fur and resembling a ferocious beast, Hank possesses an astounding intellect and a superb wit. He is currently a key member of X-Force.
Beast to lead
NO!
It's a secondary mutation, it has nothing to do with the way in which he is drawn relative to the other X-Men.
Besides, THE WRITERS do not draw him.
"hes no leader.
X leaders are as follows
Cyc
Cable
Havko
Wolv
storm
thats it"
I agree with you on everything but Wolvie.

really why not wolve? its not really his MO to lead but hes capable and has done it in the past. Despite his wild nature it only makes sense for him to have some leadership role as hes lived a long time most of which was fighting battles.
But I see what you mean in that I view him a great SGT. but he needs a officer to follow.
Wolverine already IS an X-leader... X-Force ring any bells? I know a lot of you actually read the book... Anyway, Beast is too intellectual to be a field leader. He has been confined to the lab more than I would like in recent issues though. I would like him to have a more active role, instead of being just a background character, but I don't think he has the tools to lead a team. Especially not over Scott, Storm, or even Emma. Gambit and Rogue have had their own team, but Beast never has. Think about that. He's just not cut out for the role.
I think Beast has the ability to lead, he been in it from start, he has more experience then most of the x-men and sure he has learn something from cylops, storm & charles, he just needs the opportunitie. At the moment he always in the lab, like korg said, he only background character. He needs to do something more.
He has more experience than most other X-Men due to service with the Avengers, Defenders and X-Factor. However the only team he ever attempted to lead were the Defenders and most of them claimed leadership for themselves at the time. The situation was resolved by granting leadership to Candace Southern and letting the level-headed lady call the shots.
i totally agree with you cyclops has devolved from perfect leader to well frankly a jerk
storm has been sidelined partly because of her marriage to the black panther
wolverine is in too many places at once and is too violent ( oh no that doesn't matter with the xmen anymore does it)
xavier is too out of favor due to the hatchet job writers have done to his past past
havok is in space and has been almost forgoten about floating in comic book limbo
cable , nightcrawler and jean are dead and not in much of a position to lead.
the writers didnt do a very good job of makeing angel chuck austin anyone? besides angel is too unstable at the moment
iceman hasnt been written well in years same with cannonball in the recent issues of new mutants i have read.
i actually think given a decent writer and a reduced cast then a team of xmen lead by beast would be very enjoyable
