Questioning the need for a race she nearly destroyed, regardless of her previous mental condition after a comment like this, doesn't seem like she's trying to make up anything. Rogue may be glossing over Cyclops' not always noble actions, but Wanda started the ball that brought Cyclops tumbling down hill, so putting it all on him when he was equally possessed is horseshit (and out of the Phoenix Five, he held the most restraint until the end (Emma burnt Hawkeye, Namor tried to drown Wakanda, and the Rasputin siblings held Avengers captive in a Volcanno. Cyclops didn't stop them physically, but he didn't engage or approve of most of that, and they typically did it behind his back))

I'd agree with you on the matter that she didn't intentionally kill anyone, if not for her selfish jab at her former dad resulting in an innocent kid suddenly drowning...

In some cases the changes being half-planned and lazy...

Or terrifying.


And then of course there are the innoncent people who get hurt alongside the recently depowered mutants, who maybe can't contain the explosion that occurs when their volatile power goes out.



Cyclops kills one man while not in full control, he's a pariah. The Hulk causes rampages (whether you believe the retcons that no innocents were ever killed is up to you) and his closest friends banish him to space. Wanda gets untold thousands of innocent, sometimes harmless mutants like neck-lady up above killed or crippled like Chamber, and she's let back on her team and Vision's seen as a dick for being pissed that he was blown up.

If we're not going to condemn Wanda, then the hypocritical hatred on Scott should take a pause as well, especially since Beast pulled similar shit in Black Vortex recently (where he attacked a Kree homeworld for standing against him), but since that takes place before Hickman's little timeskip, clearly the Illuminati and Avengers are still more welcoming of him for doing the exact same shit than they are of Cyclops, who just has to be the bad guy.

I thought the reason Scott was hated was because he thought it was a brilliant idea to use the Phoenix Force in the first place?

Note: I haven't kept up with the X-Men for years.
