Hank McCoy, The Beast, has a recent history in the X-Men comics of disrupting the time-stream , kicking off the Inhumans vs X-Men war doing deals with Hydra, launching hit squads, engaging in gene warfare, interning Russian mutants to create fear, opening a space prison to experiment on prisoners, cloning Wolverines to be living killing machines, and himself so no one would contradict him, assassinating US Generals and planning on creating his own Worldmind of mutants killing all individual mutants in the process.

He's better now. Or rather, an earlier version has taken his place. And it seems he has taken inspiration to stop that from happening again. Today's X-Men: From the Ashes, Infinity Comic #16 by Alex Paknadel and Phillip Sevy continues its job of explaining what on earth is happening in the main X-Men title.
