NO sorry, that is fake pain, like a stage illusionist. If the plot of the story were truly selfless Jesus wouldn't care about a new religion being started in his name.
The story isn't about selflessness. The story is about glorifying God. Just like Muslims use Mohammed to glorify Allah.
Doing the right thing in reality is doing it without expectation of attention.
No it is not good for anyone.
Nobody has the right to demand I forgive someone. I also don't have the right to demand anyone forgive me.
In human reality, in the civil west, regardless of your old comic book, humans have the right to associate or part company with those whom they don't agree with. Humans have the right to accept the apology of those who hurt them or not accept that apology.
Your Jesus character did not exist at all. But as an idea it is vile. It takes away your own decision making, and not only does that, but does so to seek attention for him.
The story idea sucks, as a motif.
Of course you find him to be your hero, but it sucks for those whose only mistake is picking the wrong club. I hate to tell you this, but the idea of a super hero being the cure all for all human beings is not an idea unique to Christianity. You simply have a different fairy tale.
I don't doubt your intent and I don't doubt you truly believe what you claim. But the Jesus story was not written with our modern knowledge of scientific reality, nor does it match our western idea of modern pluralism.
