X-Men is not lighthearted but Lewis is a Game Changer in the sense that Robert Kelly was starting to become less of a bigot and the human/mutant conflict was heading towards a truce, in a similar manner to if a real-world leader began to lessen racial tensions and build bridges between warring factions.. by assassinating Kelly Lewis destroyed that chance of fragile peace and the series became darker by default - because Kelly was about to bring relative peace.. which would of made the burden of being a mutant much less and more importantly brought hope of co-existence between man and mutant.

with Kelly's death all hopes of mutants and humans co-existing was shattered and Xavier's Dream took a massive blow, in that regard Lewis changed the "game" significantly, turning the tables right back on the side of fascism again.
