Yes, because he continues to struggle with mental health issues even today. He's a reality warper who dances on the line of insanity who walks around with a crown on. The character was unusable until Claremont came up with the idea to turn his imprisonment into something viable in Excalibur.

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
Sure, but then is that a character you want in any position of power on Krakoa or Otherworld? He should be getting treatment, not asking him to reality-bend for Mars and letting him run wild in Otherworld...
Honestly the X-Men act like terrible enablers half the time. I know it's just comics, but writers please I can only suspend my disbelief so far.
So do you just not want the X-Men to be heroes at all and just sit around tables all day? The idea of a book where the X-Men fight villains and save people from bad guys should not be controversial. And it's only X-Men fans who behave this way, Spider-Man fans arent going "What, Spideys helping out innocent civilians AGAIN?"
Well to be fair he did get some treatment by his siblings when they went into his mind when he was in a coma on Muir Island. Since his resurrection he's behaved himself and though putting him in charge of Avalon was highly questionable, he ended up being responsible and helped his family in the war. But that leads to a big questioner - are some people not eligible for redemption? Exodus hasn't done anything to betray Krakoa, Sinister of course has, Apocalypse has mostly played it straight. So I don't really know but I know people irl who were given second chances after imprisonment and succeeded. Others unfortunately did not.

Believe me. If this era had been "written by Tumblr", we wouldn't be here debating the OOCness and retcons and the interpersonal history ignored in Krakoa.
You all have a very old, an insufferable, prejudice against fanauthors ("not actual writer").
Actual writer: *checks Marvel Fandom just to get a hang of the character - perhaps*
"Tumblr": *obsesses over making sure they don't invalidate a 80s obscure quotation from TitleCancelledAfterTwoIssues where minor character commented an even more obscure episode involving the father of Main Character.
I mean, you don't even know what Tumblr is, if you don't know on Tumblr we literally do "metas" and commentaries where we try to fill the gaps of canon or try to give some sense to conflicting canons. *roll eyes*
First Warren in Dark X-Men #1, and then Genis-Vell in Captain Marvel #1. Seriously, Marvel?!
Avatar reflecting my mood. I couldn't stand the sunny high-flying Angel one anymore.
I'm sorry but this idea that "mutants didn't consider themselves God's above humanity" doesn't hold water. Let's look at just the quiet Council membership alone:
Pro:
Xavier (in unlimited he literally said Krakoa was so mutants could become Gods)
Magneto
Apocalypse
Frost
Sinister
Storm
Selene
Sebastian Shaw
Exodus
Mystique
Destiny
Anti:
Kate
Jean
Kurt
Hope
Colossus (and even then he's literally a spy)
So...11/16. A huge majority.
Has he behaved? I recall him planning to war in Otherworld and killing an innocent person iirc while riding a unicorn. Jaime on Krakoa is basically the same he usually is, extremely dangerous to other people on a whim.
As for who deserves redemption, I think it's a combination of what they've done, showing remorse for what they've done, and truly making an attempt to change themselves to atone. Rogue's done all three, while Magneto and Emma is a bit iffy on the remorse sometimes. On the otherhand, Mr Sinister should have never been allowed within 100 miles of the island.
I mean, I wouldn't put Storm on the pro side. Emma could be smug, but she made sure to help humans and was empathetic to them; she even gave some people free healing drugs because they were desperate, even though it didn't benefit her. So that's more like 9/16.
Then you have people who are more neutral on the matter than anything. Shaw is also primarily motivated by self-interest, so he isn't really "mutants are gods" so much as "I want to be a god." He even said he wasn't "really" a mutant and willingly depowered himself. Sinister just saw mutants as stepping stones for his ascension. Selene was specifically a bad choice that Mother Righteous had to finagle into the Council through her manipulations. So that's 6/16.
Storms literally been identified as a goddess multiple times for several decades
I don't see why the villains magically don't count somehow
Storm herself has been identified as a goddess. That doesn't mean she's a mutant supremacist.
There's nothing "magical" about what I said. I'd count Apocalypse on the pro side, and he's a villain. The villains I listed don't count because they're not mutant supremacists. Except maybe Selene, but she was specifically planted there by an enemy of Krakoa, and it required much of the Council to be removed from the vote.
