X-Men 101: #24 - BLUE BOY
Beast wasn't always a blue furry guy. He started out as a human with abnormally large hands and feet, and later ingested an experimental serum that accelerated his mutation, causing grey fur to grow all over his body, his canines to grow and his already superhuman abilities to increase. His grey fur soon turned blue.
