I suppose that's an accurate enough description of someone who spent a significant amount of his life perving on underage girls, abusing his position as a caretaker to sleep with an unwell woman, was a negligent father, inflicted multiple traumas on the children in his care by faking his death (multiple times), erased the existence of one of the only surviving family members a student he calls his favourite because he got his whole team killed, and raised child soldiers knowing full well his decisions will lead to their death.
I'd personally go with Psychopath but that's just me.
Someone brought it up on Twitter that the Annual also contradicts Phoenix: Endsong.
The whole thing just feels awful for everyone involved.
Oddly enough, fictional characters are being vilified in this very thread, for the same. Make of that what you will, smh. But I suppose, human behavior is nothing, if not contradictory.
The difference between Erik, Emma n Xavier.. is that Erik n Emma aren’t hypocrites.
Xavier just comes off as hypocrite. I’m not saying he is a bad character, I like what they r doing to him but it’s still hypocrisy.
P.S Yall need to chill, this is just comic n fiction .. don’t take stuff seriously.
Peace, Love and Unity to u all <3
I'm just adding fuel to the fire for the sake of it, but:
You can't use Xavier perving on teen Jean(as gross as it is) as him being lower on the moral scale than Emma, when she was doing the same with Tyke on the Secret Empire arc on Blue. Yeah that storyline has been glossed over, but so has Xavier's feelings for Jean outside that one time on Onslaught lol.
Oh, the time she tried to mindcontrol a teenaged boy into being her lover?
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
He still might. Legion is in Uncanny, and he wasn't in the teaser. I hope not personally, as I don't think he ought to be standing among the heroes. I love Warren, even if he's often overlooked. And yeah the story has indicated X may still have plans for the two of them, which I'm not a fan of. He should do his own dirty work, or hire the Weapon X crew, rather than compromising the morality of goodstanding X-Men he happens to be fond of.
Folks taking swipes at each other had better stop. One of you is now on a forced vacation, and I'm sure they'd love some company.
Stay on topic, don't get personal. If you can't be civil don't post.

I enjoyed the art. I liked X’s speech to them at the end and agree that a life of doing good would and should be fulfilling; aside from that, so much of this felt off to me. A lot of the dialogue at the beginning and between the 05(4) and X read like fan fic or if it had been taken straight from these boards. I don’t get why Warren states he has to control himself when that issue was resolved. Bobby being written as his younger self also made no sense to me. The “everyone hates the professor” angle is beyond tired. As always, Rosenberg disappoints

I didn't think he mindwiped them. I thought the purpose of him having them help him beat Lucifer was to teach them a valuable lesson on how feeling sorry for themselves and moping won't achieve anything. They all should have been glad to be alive and should be glad Jean was back . Jean should have been happy to be back. Xavier did what he needed to go. I think a slight mental push is all he gave them on top of his lesson.
issue was awesome. so cool he mind wiped jean considering her power level.
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
Regarding jean being easily mind wiped: the same way Karnak knocked her out with a pebble in ivx. When you’re not looking for something to happen I guess it’s easy for it to go by unnoticed.
I mean the pebble in ivx was more of a stretch but I could see jean here not having her guard up and getting mindwiped. She had no reason to be on guard.
Edit: apparently The writer even confirmed this is the explanation
