Aliasing hank_mccoy → beast_(marvel)
Link to alias

Reason:

Same character, both tags showing the same X-Men character (with one or two* images of someone cosplaying as the X-Men character). Beast is his main hero name, with Wikipedia has his alter ego name as Henry Philip "Hank" McCoy.

-1: Hank Mccoy is a human, not a blue anthro beastman.

Just clear out the tag from those that don't feature his human form.

Ok.

I mean, strictly speaking
Hank has been Beast since his first appearance (but pink-human-Beast)

"In Amazing Adventures #11 (March 1972), written by Gerry Conway, Beast underwent a radical change and mutated into his now familiar furry, blue appearance. "

since then he has still been Hank, but stuck in blue-furry storm form.

(ie. he's not Bruce Banner ... switching back and forth from Hulk form on a daily basis)

That being said,
from a e621 tagging persepective I can understand to keep our sanity
that Hank_Mccoy tag is good tag for his human form.
and a beast* tag for his blue form.

If there are no objections, I (or someone) start Hank_Mccoy wiki to indicate that tag for his human form?
(looking at all the uploads ... I actually don't see any of Hank in his human form)

edit: noticed my typo and changed "storm" to "form", sorry about that.

Well, besides numerous dream sequences, flashbacks, and alternate realities where he has appeared as human. This is Marvel that we're talking about, after all.

The image I posted was the only one, and it still featured both his human and his beast form.
