I disagree with him being a "pawn." He's never done anything simply because Cyclops told him to. He's done it because he feels it's best for mutantkind (which is in keeping with his history), which is the specific reason he stated for joining with Cyclops. The reason he doesn't argue as much is because he LIKES what Cyclops is doing (raising Asteroid M, creating a mutant nation on an island. These are things Magneto's done in the past). Why chafe the person who's doing EXACTLY what you would do? Namor's arrogant because he feels he has better things to do. Magneto's not because this IS what he would be doing. And, at the end of the day, the X-Men will do it because it's not HIM saying it...it's Cyclops.

And, keep in mind, we DO get the occasional bit of arrogance. Remember the .1 issue of Uncanny X-Men? The disdain he had for Kildare's plans? He ultimately did it, yes, but because he saw it would help his own goals.
