He seems very... annoyed with being mind read, spied on yet following orders anyway. It's pathetic, not helping people but seeming to hate it yet putting up with it anyway.
A brush with the Phoenix almost killed him. He could prevent the event that would further stigmatize mutants, that way he can move more freely BUT plot would change (for the bettet since Movie's plot sucked).
Thanks for the chapter.
bruhhh stop said it pointless if you not enjoy then get out. also the point of this chapter is to show that how week he is compare to them now even he want to change he can't cause he have no power to do so.
