Didn't Magneto turn Genosha into a pro-mutant segregationist country?
(obviously, there is definitely some problematic subtext involved that whenever mutants get "the upper hand", the story always involves them subjugating humanity in some way)
Such subtext is both quite realistic and, I suspect, quite deliberate. The point is that mutants, in a moral sense, aren't any better than humans and possess all the same kinds of flaws, failings, and weaknesses. That includes taking revenge when given the chance and being corrupted by power.
Magneto personifies the concept: he became the very sort of genocidal monster that victimized him in the first place. That's what makes him such a tragic villain.
Power turns people into assholes. Even formerly oppressed people.
It's literally "Diversity is white genocide" fearmongering. The bullshit rhetoric that "Aaakshually, it's the oppressors who are oppressed" because instead of having 100% of the power they now have only 95%.
It's problematic to imply that any step towards equality leads to supremacy, because that's what's used to suppress equality.
I think you're taking what FUBAR said the way wrong way. Concepts of revenge are pretty easy to see. An oppressed minority comes to power and there will be a desire on some level to make those who oppressed them pay. It's a pretty natural and understandable desire. To say that those who were oppressed will be above such actions is pretty naive. It's nothing like saying "diversity is white genocide" and I think it's a disservice to try to compare it that way. I'm sure there are plenty of historical instances of individuals or even groups who gain power over those who once oppressed them and abusing that power just like it was abused towards them. What it shows, is that we are all human and subject to the same failures. Understanding that gives us the ability to realize when we are making those same mistakes and correct our actions. Ignoring them and trying to misrepresent what others say because we are so quick to make snap judgements is how we continue to fall short of actual equality.
The French Revolution comes to mind.

Plus Loa's blood formed an "X"
idk how relevant that is or if that was solely the artist but
At this point whatever happens to the flat scans is their own fault.
4 months in and there is still no real reason why Nate did what he did. Who gave him the life seed. What is the purpose of anything? Heck other than a few pages here and there I don't Nate has had much to do at all? Omega better have a lot of explanation or this really was a wasted event.
We know Nate is dying, so he decided to use the life seed to be a Messiah.
And we know he is now against relationships because he has a never-explored-before trauma for being a test tube baby.
I don't think we'll get more explanations about it.
I'm pretty sure Xavier or Sinister gave him the Life Seed. probably Xavier
