if you are going by the game setting rather than the extended X-Men canon (which I feel you should since the Legends games are different canon (for example the Brood are named Cerci and are genetically-altered insects rather than aliens in the second game.. also Bishop is encountered in the first game as a child being hunted by Sentinels (which wasn't in other canons) ) then yes, without a doubt Kincaid counts as a CM.

the first Legends game was about how tense mutant/human relationships were getting and how Magneto and the Brotherhood were making matters worse due to their mutant superiority campaign - Kincaid however was revealed to be manipulating EVERY atrocity in the game just so he could get an excuse to start a "genetic war" and exterminate mutants from the face of the planet.. he claimed once that mutants were a threat but any and all illusion of him caring for humanity ended very shortly after that when he is revealed to be making Sentinel Advance monstrosities which are basically like Cybermen from new Doctor Who (humans forced to be merged with machines) or the Borg from Star Trek.. that's a horrible experience for anyone.. even the X-Men note Kincaid's obsession with killing mutants was a danger to everyone (human and mutant alike).

when he finally decided to fight as Master Mold he shows that his contempt for human life is on the level of a supervillain since he wants to ensure the entire city of New York is destroyed and have as many civilian casualties as possible so humans will hate mutants and call for war.. at that point Kincaid has basically become the game's version of William Stryker from the comics (who also waged a genocidal war and was one of the first to call for a "Final Solution" - hence why Stryker is considered a strong CM even by X-Men terms).

also, Apocalypse and Shadow King are both thousand-plus year old Omega Mutants that can do anything they desire, Kincaid was just a psychotic human and had less resources and time than they did - yet did considerably more damage in his limited time (Apocalypse is a physical god, not even remotely fair to try and compare his actions with those of a "homo sapien" as Apocalypse can do anything he wants.. Kincaid had to work within limits and did so horribly well).
