(*Facepalm*) Never heard of something called "irony"? One thing is to create a safe place for a group of socially rejected individuals who are persecuted to death, and another thing is use them to create an army to conquer the planet for the "superior race". (Quite cynical Magneto, as he was a survivor of the Holocaust but his ideology is very similar to Nazi's). Magneto is obsessed with declaring war on humanity to conquer Earth, and each time he tries, karma turns against him by putting the mutants on even worse situation than before. Magneto wants a war, but he doesn't consider consequences from it. Magneto sees himself as the protector of Mutants, but when he ruled Earth on House of M, he acted just like th ehumans who oppressed Mutants. Being punished this way is what's called "poetic justice".

Well, it did happen. During his rule on Genosha, Magneto was plotting to start a campaign of global conquest after the eradication of the Legacy Virus. He plotted to launch a massive attack an conquer one country at the time. The X-Men stopped him, and a little time later, Cassandra Nova launched her attack with the Wild Sentinels, killing almost all the mutants in the island.

Magneto's a character who returns to being a terrorist and tyrant, since that's what readers want him to be. Its entrenched into his DNA as a character, they can progressive's him all they want he'll default back into that. He continued that while he was a depowered anti-hero, too. That was faithful characterisation of someone who traumatised so badly they became as bad as their enemies. That is the morality tale of Magneto, it's why it never makes any sense for the X-men to welcome back so often. The man is a monster.
Well It was.... Which was pretty impressive considering all the upheavals the country had recently gone through
WoW! Exaggerate much? Magneto didn't 'use' them He led them. The Genoshans were already brimming for some well deserved payback after those suffering from the Legacy Virus was cured. But I mean who could blame them....Their nightmarish enslaved existence came to an end bu Genosha's peace soon ended after the Magistrates led the human Genoshans into a Civil War, even after that was stopped, the Legacy Virus was devastating their population. It would take a Saint to have gone through what they did having their lives totally controlled by someone, and not retaliate with violence once they held greater power. But Does Magneto turn Genosha complete inhospitable to Humans like Hitler pursued during his campaign against the "Untermensch" No! We've seen him with on friendly terms with plenty of Humans, Stevie Hunter, Nurse +Coach from New Mutants, Lee Forrester, Even on Genosha he had that Gengineer as part of his inner circle on Genosha. He didn't round them up to be sent to death camps. So No His ideology was not very similar to the Nazis
That's not the def of karma. If I stain the nice shirt of a friend cleaning my spill, and a lil later your shirt get stained, its a coincidence. your karma is what YOU put out in the world not someone else. Eh not EXACTLY like the Humans...There were not Sentinels designed for hunting and capturing Humans...just to keep Mutants safe. Humans # were declining but they were not rounded up in camps by his government like Weapon X and Neverland, Captain Marvel (a known human) was the most popular superhero. Please tell me how that's worse than the 616 for both people?
She pretty much did. Her actions here constitute a genocidal attempt. Her intent was the systematic removal of the Mutants regardless if they were men, women, kids, heroes, villians
Dude, Magneto was stopped the Xmen left him bleeding after being gutted by Wolverine, Charles telepathically told the population they could either follow in Magneto's footsteps or choose the path to peace.
The chose peace.
Nope....No he wasn't...He wasn't doing anything but trying to recover from his fight with Wolverine......Even if that was true, that he was planning another attack on humanity Cassassandra wouldn't have known about it. The Sentinels would have still been deployed to destroy Genosha

They like tyrant Magneto right now.
In Manifest Destiny he activated Sentinels to wipe out the X-men in San Fransisco. Magneto is reckless with his powers endangering humans like they're nothing, Polaris chides him for this - in "Secret Wars."
Magneto's solution to the conflict in "Civil War II" is to kill Ulysses.
He made an agreement with Psylocke to kill him if he regressed to being a terrorist again (he did) so she killed him, in "Inhumans vs X-men."
He made a deal with HYDRA! Captain America to have a mutant nation in California when HYDRA conquered America.
Recently in "House of X" he indirectly threatened humanity that the mutants in Krakatoa are their gods now.
You're forgetting Children of the Vault they are the greatest threat! Already storm is on borrowed time after her ass was put on blast : ) Also I think putting Darwin in there for recon may backfire since he may evolve beyond mutant and for all intents the Vault is his sojourn for 537 years while he lived on earth like 20? The math doesn't add up to anything Krakoans will like!
The problem is the frontier between anti-hero and total villainy tends to blur recently in the comics in a world where people who can be references as undeniable and respected heroes are less frequent.
Anyway, what are these heroes are useful for if they cannot prevent feared mutants from being persecuted?
Eventually, heroes are just humans: they cannot do miracles. They can just show they care and try to do something about. I remember the Silver Surfer confronted with human poverty and misery, doing what he could do, but eventually feeling powerless…
But the range of some mutants' powers is so huge that they can do miracles, so a nation of mutants…
There is probably no action that they would exclude, even the villainous ones, if they think it can ensure that they live in security, if not thrive. Like Magneto did.
Claremont was careful not to push persecution against mutants to the extremities for the X-men (except in alternate realities) not to be in the delicate situation of stopping being heroes. Magneto, during his run, did villainous things just by fear of the humans could do, would do, not what they did.
