Fan CastingX-Men: Beauty and the Beast

In the nation of Latveria, Dr. Doom marvels over some sculptures when he receives word from his butler that someone in the United States is claiming to be Dr. Doom's soon. Doom thinks back many years to a time when a woman claimed that he had sired her boy, refusing the claim, Doom would have her exiled from his kingdom. Doom still finds these accusations preposterous however, Doom learning that his supposed heir has become something of a big name in California, decides to pay closer attention to his activities. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the Beast has taken time off from the Defenders to take a vacation and visit his friends Simon Williams and Dazzler. Beast is particularly worried about Dazzler since she outed herself as a mutant. When traveling into the city proper and finding that her last venue had closed down and posters of her last performance vandalized with anti-mutant epitaphs he finds that his concerns were well-founded.
