In the 2023 Hellfire Gala storyline, Charles Xavier mind controlled a unified mutant nation at the height of their power into peacefully surrendering to Orchis (an intergovernmental org formed by every major world government to exterminate mutants). They told him to force every mutant on earth to walk through portals that would “exile them off planet” or they’d execute random humans and blame mutants to prevent Xavier from realizing his dream of being accepted by polite society. Xavier agreed and tried to mind control every mutant on earth to walk into these portals against their will. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the portals were intended to kill any mutant that walked through them and effectively culled like 90% of the mutant population from Marvel continuity. Orchis then killed a bunch of humans and blamed it on mutants anyway just to spite Xavier.
Calling Xavier a sellout is putting it kindly.
Don’t worry, they retconned/baited us with this mutant genocide and everybody was fine, thus justifying Xavier’s decisions…once again. Getting really tired of Charles ngl. Also really wish they’d just let a Genosha or Krakoa be a permanent or at least long-lasting fixture instead of doing yet another genocide plot.
I didn’t find “actually every mutant who ever died is in a secret pocket dimension disconnected from the rest of reality where you can pretend they’re all off having a good time while we never mention them again,” to be a particularly satisfying resolution to 5 years of world building and character growth.
