I'm glad you're enjoying it. The downward spiral's been a long time in coming. *G*
And yeah, I also have problems with accepting true evil. You can make some arguments for it in rare cases, usually those involving conscious decision on the individual's part, but you can also go down a horrible path for what seem like perfectly justifiable, or at least understandable, reasons. To yourself if no one else. That's what interests me, really. I think sometimes I may miss on the balance a little, but as long as you continue to get the sense Marius isn't a completely lost cause I'll call it a win. :)
(Although in Marius' case this thing is less about evil and more a study in desperation, teenage melodrama, and really, really bad choices. These are a dangerous combination for anyone, but when you're a spoiled rich kid who also happens to be a mutant . . . it's just not going to end well. Is "stupidangerous" a word?)
