Well, I considered him more than a supporting character as well (I kind of like that character), but not as an X-Man.

Concerning that speech, I didn't considered it as a real joining of every Utopian mutant in the X-Men (which I find sad, as it was the writer way to unite mutantkind, as for Avalanche, who kept getting closer of the X-Men in SF, just to be killed in Uncanny Avengers instead of getting him an X-Man or an X-Avenger, a place he deserved), but more of a call to arms. (and again, damn that writer and more again the ones to follow him for not use that scene to take in uncommon and underestimated characters)

In the same way, Frenzy was present, but isn't considered as an X-Man until Post-AoX.

I haven't my #243 in my flat so I can't check right the words used, but I really don't think he was an X-Man in any of those two situations, although he came closer than ever of that status during the reconstruction.
