Oh come on, that went nowhere. That's just the writers trying to justify his continued presence by masking his villainous tendencies under a thin veil of "hero" that simply does not serve to hide the truth about who and what he is. Again, way too easily forgiven, this guy. They don't give him the villain label because who's going to defend the designated villains? Makes it easier to keep the obvious Creator's Pet around by leaving the more traditionally ambiguous antihero label on him, even though there's nothing ambiguous about his traces of villainy. And he openly hated being caught doing anything resembling "nice".

Let's be real here, he does not have the sense of honor he might have had in Island, and that is a big might in and of itself.
