When I first watched "The Mutant Agenda," I never really thought much of it, other than a Spider-Man/X-Men crossover episode that didn't have too many voice actors involved and not as much action as I wanted.
Recently, I noticed how the Hobgoblin was used in an episode right after he debuted.
Now, I will approach the episode using the main guest stars as foils to Spider-Man as his mutancy problem develops.
A key aspect of Beast's character is being a Frankenstein-ish monster that ends up being the catalyst of his mutancy rather than a witch hunter attempting to hide it. He's interesting, because he's a smart man, an intellectual quoting intellectuals. But as a smart man, he doesn't want the trouble of being a mutant, because of it becoming a "distraction" that can mean life or death.
As a result, he really feels for Spider-Man, not wanting him to go through what he went through.
Beast feared change because of the change in his DNA, when his brain and more importantly heart were still the same after.
He was afraid of becoming a barbaric monster, the exact opposite he was as a peaceful human, although to some extent he did transform into it, and maybe someone else as well.
