x-men, specifically Age of Apocalypse, is a moral and political parable warning of the dangers of social darwinism. there is no scenario where someone can always keep the moral high ground when having to struggle with race wars or political upheaval. fascists know this, and that is why leftist organizations are infiltrated and why leftist organizations are challenged with moral dilemmas by the ruling power to compromise both their morale as well as public perception.

xavier, having psionic powers, represents both a psychological representation of the human mind in scientific terms, but also a more mystical literary tool because he uses the astral plan to navigate and explore, so struggles between good and evil will inevitably appear in storytelling.

if x-writers were TRYING to make him evil, they're stupid enough to do it more haphazardly in very hamfisted ways, like what x-writers have done to beast.

to be fair however, in the krakoa arc, it was revealed that xavier has used and would use his psychic powers to control the minds of world leaders and never allow them to engage in nuclear war, which is based, regardless of how you see xavier, whether it be for his own personal benefit or (what is more likely) preventing the deaths of millions or billions
