Scott wasn't brainwashed during Schism and all that mess.. he was just a really, really insane person.. Magneto / Punisher hybrid.. it wasn't his most flattering time, to say the least.. not sure what happened during Dark Phoenix etc as I didn't really bother with it much but from what I know Cyclops was for quite some time a complete and utter scumbag, pretty much a terrorist in X-Men uniform (and yes, I know he had plenty of reasons for hating humanity and the world but that doesn't excuse him almost sparking yet another World War III).

Though I do believe ultimately all the madness was necessary as the Phoenix managed to allow mutants to exist again after they were virtually wiped out but you can argue Scott was almost Harbinger of Rebirth in that respect.

Well-Intentioned Extremist is best to describe that era.. (and I do not like Marvel Now! era anyway).
