"The Mutant Agenda" and "Mutant's Revenge" is a two-part episode of the animated series Spider-Man.

The Mutant Agenda

Spider-Man begins to worry about his growing mutation. In order to seek a cure, he heads to the Xavier mansion, where he encounters the X-Men. A brief fight occurs, after which Spider-Man explains his plight to Xavier. Professor X tells Spider-Man that he cannot cure him, and he angrily leaves the mansion. Beast tells Spider-Man to go to Herbert Landon, who is working on a cure for mutants. Afterward, Landon's men capture Beast. While Spider-Man is watching Landon's demonstration, the facility is attacked by Hobgoblin. However, a mysterious force holds the ceiling in place long enough for Spider-Man to escape. Wolverine begins to worry about Beast's disappearance. He discovers that Beast spoke with Spider-Man before he disappeared, and sets out to find him (Spider-Man). Meanwhile, Beast learns that Landon's intention was not to cure mutants, but to destroy them, and that Beast was going to be the first test subject. Spider-Man arrives at Landon's facility and finds Hobgoblin. They fight, during which Spider-Man is ambushed by Wolverine.

Mutant's Revenge

Wolverine catches up with Spider-Man, who is hot on the trail of the missing Hank McCoy. Meanwhile, Hobgoblin steals the mutant technology that Dr. Landon had prepared for the Kingpin. Spider-Man and Wolverine follow Hobgoblin, uncover Landon's plot to destroy all mutants, and rescue Beast. Landon accidentally falls victim to his own experiment, and is changed into a giant monster that feeds on electrical energy. The X-Men and Spider-Man once again join forces and defeat Landon and the Hobgoblin.

Production

• The vocal talents who portrayed the X-Men in these two episodes of Spider-Man voiced the same roles in the X-Men animated series while both shows were in their original run.^[1] While the X-Men cast members lived in Canada, Spider-Man had its audio recorded in Los Angeles.^[2] Scheduling and other issues made these episodes two of the most expensive of the series, which is why storm was the only one who appears in Secret Wars.^[2]
• These two episodes were adapted from an early 1994 comic mini-series entitled "Spider-Man: The Mutant Agenda", which, in turn, was a crossover with the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip.^[3] Both the mini-series and the comic strip presented the same story, but had different writers and artists. With the two television episodes, the story arc was presented in three different mediums within the span of two years.^{[citation needed]}
