Origin: Many years ago, a race of bird-like people created a floating city eight miles up in the sky. They kep themselves separated from everyone else on Earth, while creating great advances in science and technology. Eventually, a human crash landed on the floating city and the bird-people took him in. The human, known as the Red Raven, eventually turned on them and destroyed them (ref. Uncanny X-Men #44). To keep their society alive forever, they created a two-headed android and endowed it with their knowledge of warefare and cultural wisdom.

GREAT MOMENTS IN HISTORY

The Incredible Hulk #169: Longing for companionship, the Bi-Beast kidnaps the Harpy (who was just Betty Ross after she had been changed by MODOK) since she reminded him of his former masters. Unknown to him, when he kidnapped the Harpy, he also got the Hulk. The Harpy doesn't want anything to do with the Bi-Beast, so she is knocked after after resistance. The Hulk fights also but eventually turns back to Bruce due to the lack of oxygen that high up in the atmosphere. Bruce agrees to help the Bi-Beast repair his equipment due to the Bi-Beast's lack of knowledge in science. Bruce also tries to use the equipment to cure Betty. MODOK comes to the floating city and convinces the Bi-Beast that Bruce is up to no good. The Bi-Beast attacks Bruce and causes him to change into the Hulk. MODOK attacks both of them, fatally shooting the Bi-Beast. The Bi-Beast hits the self-destruct lever and blows up along with the floating city. Bruce and a cured Betty fall into the sky.

The Incredible Hulk #212: SHIELD finds a mysterious capsule on the bottom of the ocean floor.

The Incredible Hulk #213: The capsule is transported to the SHIELD heli-carrier.

The Incredible Hulk #214: A shadowy figure escapes from the capsule and stalks the dark corridors of the heli-carrier.

The Incredible Hulk #215: The bird-people created a second android with the added scientific knowledge incase harm came to the first. When the floating island was destroyed previously, the second android fell into the ocean inside the capsule. The Bi-Beast takes over the SHIELD heli-carrier, intent on using it to destroy the humans just like humans destroyed his city. General Ross and others manage to have Bruce transported onto the ship to stop the Bi-Beast. Bruce changes into the Hulk along the transportation. Ross lets the Hulk chase him so that he can lead him to the Bi-Beast. The Bi-Beast fires powerful lasers at the Hulk when he is locked in a room.

The Incredible Hulk #216: Ross and associates get the Hulk to safety before the Bi-Beast can completely defeat him. The Bi-Beast announces that his going to launch nuclear weapons onto the earth. In order to protect Betty and other of his friends, the Hulk agrees to help. They stop the nukes but the Bi-Beast attacks the Hulk. They battle and eventually fall off the heli-carrier and plummet to the ground below.

Quasar #16: The Bi-Beast is seen in the background of the Stranger's laboratory.

The Incredible Hulk #412: As an experiment, the Stranger allows the Bi-Beast to get a hold of jewls that wold allow him to go anywhere in the Universe. And what does he do, but go after the Hulk, of course. He transports himself to Earth and attacks the Hulk who also has the She-Hulk with him. The jewels interfere with the mind of the bottom head and cause him to fall instantly in love with the She-Hulk. To further complicate the experiment, the Stranger sets the jewels to overload and explode. The Hulk and She-Hulk defeat the Bi-Beast and the Stranger transports the jewels away at the last moment as the Hulk was willing to take the blast to protect everybody.

Beyond #1: A dead Bi-Beast is seen being buried on the planet created a few years ago by the Beyonder.
