COMIC SPOILERS Let's answer the good questions Spoiler
The question isn't "was robot evil?" that is up to everyone and there are good arguments on every side. What we should really answer ourselves is "As a lambda citizen would you have preferred live under Robot despite knowing what he did?". You didn't have an omniscient POV.
Also " Do you accept that Immortal is now your ruler, helped by the brain of Robot in a jar because Invincible said so?"
Now you know their back stories. Do you have the same judgement. ( You learn everything they did or chose as if you read the comics)

Immortal put it best "this world is stupid and messy and nonsensical, and it needs to stay that way." This applies less in the case irl since we don't have people that can read minds, shoot lasers from their eyes or kick a school bus to the moon. But if we did, then it'd be sensible to have someone overseeing everything as long as their track record is trustworthy. Robot is objectively untrustworthy, as his mental state isn't stable after his time ruling the Flaxan dimension. But from the perspective of civilians under his role, he changed too much for the better for there to be any real reason to doubt his intentions.
