You're overthinking things. Also, they will most likely address Aggregor in the future. The possibility that he was a rouge rooter has already been speculated several times now. You know if you're not going to read the entire thread, at least use the control+F button to see if something has already been discussed...

Now they're basically saying that it was because of the brainwashing, which is FAR less compelling. He became a good guy because he thought his father was a Plumber, not because of brainwashing. Yes, the brainwashing gave him the memories but it was his choice to be a good guy and a Plumber.

One of the things about that however is that they removed one of the most important parts. Without Gwen, it was the only thing keeping him on the side of good. I mean really, what other reason would he have to still be compelled to do the right thing at this point? He just found out that several things he thought he knew about himself was a lie, and that someone was using him for evil.

I imagine Servantis is counting on this however, because not only will he lead Servantis straight to the victims of the rooters (Argit and the Alagam Kids) (or lead them to Servantis), but he's probably a biiit mentally unstable, which is no state to be fighting the intellectually superior in.

On a side note, does Servantis' design remind anyone of TFA Starscream? I know it's the same artist but I don't think I've seen this particular sort of design in a while (not even with Psyphon)... Why would Kevin still be compelled to do the right thing? Uhhh, because it's the RIGHT thing?

If you say that he was only being good for Gwen then that meant that he was never good in the first place. But aside from some wildly bizarre character development in UA, he's clearly a better person now than when he was 11. Yeah still a bit of a delinquet, but are we all such saints?
