Scott toes the line between Erik and Charles' ideologies because his tactics have always been reactionary. Even him stepping, and growing, into the role of a leader was reactionary. Out of necessity he stepped up to lead Mutanity [just came up with it] to safety.Magneto experienced a life of persecution as a minority. That created an indignation that fueled his (not unfounded) concept of superiority. He sought to protect mutants by actively eliminating their greatest enemies, humans.Professor X, on the other hand, lived a life immersed in and nurtured by humanity. Even his powers are entirely hidden and unprovable. His entire operation was subtle integration (or covert infiltration) with humanity. He saw a world that was booming with mutants and feared humans' reactions. His vision was forward thinking, he sought to protect mutants, in a way, so they could protect humans.Scott saw (and basically personified) Charles' vision, but when M-Day occurred, he had to react. He had to abandon the unrealistic vision of integration, and embrace independence, self sufficiency and ultimately isolation. The question is, as the figurehead and leader of Mutanity, has he pursued a consistent vision based on his beliefs? Or has he been the object of circumstance and what, or who, has that turned him into?
Amazing art, must know more O_O

I especially like how Marvel's comment section has clearly been hacked. Go team.

I fear another possibly long and pointless X-men event that lacks focus and introduces dull and unoriginal ways to look at the X-men.
