On a scale of 0 through 10 how would you rate the morality of X-Characters

[ARkadelphia]

Morality or mortality?

[Ricochet Rita]

Inspired by another thread that had discussed which X-Men fit the heroic archetype. I'm thinking that at least in X-Men there is quite a bit of nuance between hero and villain. Assuming 0 is pure sociopathic evil, 5 is for middle of the road anti heroes or an average Joe who is not remarkably nice or a jerk, and 10 is as close to perfect goodness as one can get. Where would you assume X-Characters would fall on that spectrum?

I've got sort or an issue with the definition of 'heroism' and 'morality'. I'm not sure they're equatable.

[theoneandonly]

Charles Xavier Jean Namor: holier than thou
Magneto:Will work on it but will relapse
Wolverine Emma Cable Havoc Bishop: Huh??? Will get back to you.
Storm: Goddess!
Sam Firestar Nightcrawler Jubilee Siryn: Too good to be true!
Beast: Woe is me!!! I mean AHEM... What theory of morals can ever detail all the duties it entails are also true for each individuals self interest? in other words pbfft!!!
Havoc Polaris archangel Ethan Caliban Magick: are unavailable for comment due to circumstances beyond their control
Cyclops: *wears T-shirt with logo*
CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT!!!!
Iceman : Vapid (lol)
Deadpool: Chimichanga make what you will off it.
judges: Huh?
*Bloody Slaughter of The Morality Judges*
Deadpool Was Here!!!!😘
Joseph: Canonization has transformed him into Saint Joseph who *died for Magneto's sins to save humanity* AMEN

The X-Men in general are 8 when things go well and during extinction events go down to 6.

You're right most of X-men acts heroically except in extinction events. And many of them have been working with villains one time or another in the name of a greater good.

Gotta admit, pessimistic as I am, I sure like seeing you give Jean that score.

Storm ripped Marrow's heart out.

She ripped a bomb out to deactivate it and save dozens of innocents from a suicide bomber terrorist.

[OblivionX33]

oops, now that changes things.

[Glio]

Whatever the score in absolute terms, Scott has three points more than Logan and two less than Storm.

[darkalamator]

mmm no, not really.. Ororo is a defeatist who took Mutantkind to Limbo to die out. Morals are in the deeds, aren´t they?

Lol I’m along these lines.

[Omega Alpha]

Yeah, if depended on Ororo alone, mutantkind would have died twice- first she abandoned the ship shortly after M-Day, then her absolutely terrible handling of the Terrigen situation, in which she just let BB and Medusa do what they wanted.

She handled those terribly.But I don't understand what those have to do with her morality.

Scott (and not only him, mind) , written in character, would have destroyed those damn clouds and **** the Inhumans and the world and what they think of him. If you care too much about your morality to do the right thing for your survival and the ones you love, you're not that moral. Is essentially Captain America's arc in Time Runs Out without the pettiness toward Tony: he cared too much about "doing the right thing" and bring the Illuminati to justice rather than actually do anything about the world dying.
