Like it says. Which character in Krakoa got screwed over the most?
I'm going with Nature Girl.

Moira MacTaggert
Nature Girl
Karima Shapandar
Rockslide
Danger
Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way
Beast is probably the Runner-Up, behind Moira. Rockslide had a reason behind the change - although it hasn't been explored nearly enough, and Karima and Danger haven't had nearly as big of a shift as Hank has had, even with where Hank has fallen to before Krakoa. While he had become darker and hypocritical in same ways, X-Force basically reduced his reasoning to "For the Evulz". And in a mainstream release, as opposed to something I would not even be aware of without seeing fan reviews.
Dark does not mean deep.
I kept going back-and-forth between whether Beast and Moira have had it worse, but I think Beast narrows out Moira. At least there was implications that Moira had been driven insane by her several lives. But for Beast Percy just had him gleefully driving head-first into evil with as much depth as a mustache-twirling villain, with only vague hints that something else was going, hints that were never followed up on. As well as having several of his friends tell him how much they hate him, failing at everything he did, and being constantly humiliated. And then Percy says Beast may have always been evil from the very beginning, only to suddenly change course by bringing in a clone with old memories.
Moira also never had an INCREDIBLY deranged plan to send her mind back and forth through time in order to encompass time and destroy the universe to become a god, something Beast tried in that awful, awful filler story last year.
Rockslide never turned evil, and I think they're just going to have him show up like how he once was with no explanation.

placeholder signature until I can think of something.
Beast. That's not even a question.
1. Beast- he got screwed over so hard they needed to make a new one.
2. Charles Xavier- yeah, he has had a rough couple decades, but his characterization went nuclear with the Krakoa age.
3. Moira McTaggart- she was better off dead than being the trainwreck she has become.
4. Cyclops- he is the leader we admire right?
5. Banshee- yet another character that has been screwed over for years, killed off and brought back from the dead only to be made a joke off. Sometimes dead really is better.
6. Mystique- I am glad she is back with Destiny, but I wish she had any of the spark she had in the 80s or 90s. Her role in Uncanny Spider-Man was painful.
7. Firestar- she was a New Warrior for goodness's sake. Marvel needs to stop dumping on those characters already.
8. Vulcan- wasn't he supposed to have a big role in things spinning out of HOX? Instead, he backslid into villainy, got locked away for months, and ended up being Apocalypse's biotch in the end.
9. Colossus- remember when he was a smart gentle at times reluctant warrior? Marvel doesn't. The whole brainwashing story was awful and hurt every character it touched. Even Mikhail who despite everything really always did care for his brother.
10. Academy X/Young X-Men cast- ALL OF THEM. Five years with the ability to bring mutants back from the dead and no one bothered to undo the horrific fatalities a lot of beloved characters suffered from the literal bus explosion that kicked off the awful Yost/Kyle run. And save Pixie, none of the surviving ones got any real focus.
