Beast-mode Inspiration

Beast mode refers to the aggressive, animalistic persona that one might assume when in competition or combat in order to overpower an opponent.

Where did beast mode come from?

The term alludes to a trope in video games in which a character “powers up” into a stronger, superhuman form that allows them to fight (often after collecting a special token or eating a particular food).

“Beast Mode” also became a nickname in the 2010s for NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, due to his ability to power past blockers.
