Other thing I didnt like was for example the fact that if they could find a cure, then Beast should be the first one to have it tested, couse as i remember, he got the blue fur and feline appearance in an attemp to reduce his beast form.
I think the feline form was a secondary mutation unlocked to save his life by Sage if I recall correctly.
But no it makes sense some rich over-zealous biggot with a mutant kid would try and make "the cure."
