History

Beastiamorphs are half-human/half-animal hybrds created through mystical incantation or potion by the sorceress Circe. The earliest known account of Circe's involvement with Beastiamorphs occurred when she encountered the soldiers of Odysseus. She invited the crew to a feast, the food laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into pigs with a wand after they gorged themselves on it. Only Eurylochus, suspecting treachery from the outset, escaped to warn Odysseus and the others who had stayed behind at the ships. Odysseus set out to rescue his men, but was intercepted by Hermes, who told him to use the holy herb moly to protect himself from Circe's potion and, having resisted it, to draw his sword and act as if he were to attack Circe. From there, Circe would ask him to bed, but Hermes advised caution, for even there the goddess would be treacherous. She would take his manhood unless he had her swear by the names of the gods that she would not. Odysseus heeded Hermes's advice, thus securing the transfigured freedom of his fellows.

Even in the modern era, Circe continued to use her Beastiamorphs to fulfill her aims. The Beastiamorphs played a pivotal role during the "War of the Gods" and defended Circe's interests by battling the champions of Earth's super-hero community.
