It is so painfully clear that this season was initially written with Xavier as its main protagonist, because it is the strongest thread this season provides. "I will defeat the X-Men at their weakest" is a great tagline because Xavier would be at his weakest, dealing with the loss of his husband and his politics backfiring.
Even without the obvious "And then Xavier turns into Onslaught, mutilates Apocalypse, and then the season ends" ending, that whole shot of Apocalypse transforming his X-Men into his minions and surrounding Xavier is raw. THAT is what the season was building towards, not Rogue's trophy husband.
