How their actions can be justified is beyond me. If only Superman were present to give him a moral and physical ass kicking. Now that would make me happy.
They can be justified because Cap has been struck with the tyrant hammer upside the head and has been acting like a dumb*** recently. His actions grant justification to theirs. That and the fact that their arguments hold water: Iron Man DID break the Phoenix, resulting in it overwhelming them, which EVERYONE knew it would do. Worse, they're relying on a double standard here: The Scarlet Witch was possessed as well, killed TWO Avengers, and is now one of their new teams. The Five got possessed, ENDED WORLD HUNGER (briefly) and caused almost no casualties. The one casualty they DID cause, was only a result of the Avengers attacking the Five, narrowing the power, which again, they KNEW would overwhelm the last user, until said last user went insane and killed ONE person.
And because Iron Man put together how to destroy the Phoenix and restore mutantkind (which, I might add, would have happened naturally HAD HE DONE NOTHING TO BEGIN WITH. Though that's understandable, it's just bad in hindsight.) he considers him debt free, while Scott and his mutants are still evil for being possessed.
It's all just causing the Avengers to come off as stupid.
Incidentally, if Superman were present, he'd probably help Scott and Emma: They're mutants in a world where they're hated and feared. They're trying to get by in whatever way they can while constantly being attacked. Being an alien, Superman can understand that feeling of isolation and fear: It's the reason he doesn't wear a mask, because he doesn't want anyone to be afraid of someone with his amount of power. Not to mention Superman, with all his power, is terrified of being controlled and having that power let loose. He'd understand Scott and Emma going through something like that, and wouldn't blame them for it, even if a casualty was caused. He's far more likely to whip the Avengers in this case.
... Rant over.
Sir... I find your rant to be perfectly sensible, relevant, and well said... However, because of the limit in storage space in comic vine, I'm only going to give you 2 or 3 months to finish this rant!!!
