These Terrigen Mists have been spreading infecting and killing mutants. Regardless of how this happened, the Inhumans have the most knowledge of it but they're not lifting a finger to help. If the sides were reversed, I could easily see the X-Men trying to assist them.

Too much time and casualties already happened. Its time for action.

Team Magneto

Because seeing the future is powerful.

Think of how much power he could have wen he actually knows what he's doing? He could mold the universe as he sees fit without anyone ever knowing as he'll be able to constantly view the future to see what works over and over again.

If he ever became evil....

The way I see it is no different than this situation:

Your company building has a poisonous gas leak. Half the people are dead and you're on hold with the gas company trying to turn it off. The doors are locked and you can't get out. However, there's a window, but the only object available to break it is an urn containing the ashes of the CEO's great great grandfather that he considers sacred.

Do you:

A. Stay on hold with the gas company

B. Break the window and get the hell out

That makes no sense.

Furthermore, this power can easily be abused. Especially because no Telepath can read his mind. He's a Mental Dead Zone. That's dangerous as there's no way to verify his intentions.

If he was ever lead towards the path of evil he could reshape everything and ensure any threats to his goals are eliminated before they even know they're going to rise against him.

Ultimatum should have been put to the Inhumans by the world, at large, the second the Terrigen bomb went off: contain your crap; if not, we're going to, and if you get in the way, then suffer annihilation. Terrigen is just as much a chemical attack upon NuHumans as it is Mutants.

But ultimately, Storm's side is the better option.

In the Marvel Universe, I think that's child's play compared to the possibilities of high-level telepaths. Reading minds and controlling people is far more dangerous than a Nostradamus on steroids

The problem here isn't even the character's ideologies, it's the clear lack of oversight and coherent storytelling from Marvel Comics.

The first issue of CW2:XM basically completely undermined that Terrigen Mist plot contrivance. And the main CWII story is also full of similarly annoying things that don't hold up to basic scrutiny.
I can't even muster the energy to feel one way or another about the character's decisions because the premise is just too bloody stupid. I feel like I'm reading one big nonsensical editorially mandated basic "story" that's being expatiated by a bunch of more or less talented writers trying to make lemonade with lemons.

The conflict is between mutantkind, the Terrigen Mists which is hpered by everyone else unwillingness to help see it gone. I don't se how Ulysses or a fight with Medusa's group is gonna help matters so I gotta pick Storm.
