Let's Prove to Marvel that Cyclops is COOL

[D-scythe]

thats what he did, took off his visor and hit him full blast...it slowed juggs down but not enough. It was cool for a few seconds though...

He's the unstoppable Juggernaut, b*tch!

Scott Summers presents: "Wait."

where are these images from?

 

[JewishHobbit]

The last one is from Morrison's Planet X storyline. I never understood why Magneto didn't just suddenly impale Scott's visor through his head.


The first one I'm not sure, somewhere else in that same run.

 

[Zeu]

zombie wolvie (with one arm) pwned juggs, and turned him into a vampire in what if where he was lord of the vampires :P

And that´s exactly why "What If" stories do not count as canon, all sort of dumb, outlandish things happen there.

I mean, I´m sure there is a "What if" parallel universe out there where Cyclops is married to a mutant girl named Logan who he routinelly backstabs to go sleep with Jean but you´re probably as interested in reading that story as I am.

I always thought Cyclops was kool.

 

[unstoppable]

I always thought Cyclops was kool.

I always thought he was a stupid character

 

[Zeu]

I always thought Cyclops was cool as well.

The bad crap I blame it on the bad writing.

 

[Ben Urich]

The lame thing is, after he fried Magneto with a blast to the face, Magneto recoiled in pain and Scott went to, like, comfort him or something
Lame

I didn't start really liking him until he merged with apoc, but befrore that I guess he was okay. There was this one time when psylocke was coming out of the lake dripping wet and Jean catches cyke checking her out I thought that was a funny moment of cyclops.

 

[SLVRSR4]

I have seen him start fires with his beams and then later he says that it is concussive force and can't WTF? I saw this in the 9/11 he was welding!

 

[MilkmanDan]

Ok, so we've proved that Cyclops is a powerful chap, but is he really cool (like fonzy) ? No, but I thought a lot of his popularity was down to the fact he was a bit square, down-to-earth and not that cool - making him quite cool. See what I mean?

I agree. A big part of Cyclops' appeal is the fact that under different circumstances this guy:

would be this guy:

 

[ghost113]

LOL man thats kind of a kick to the balls for cyclops.

 

[Zeu]

Actually, I think that makes him even MORE cooler than if he turned out to be The Fonz with red shades.

 

[Horrorfan]

LOL so does every bitter fanboy


I do sort of count what ifs. Obviously it's not 616 cannon, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen in it's own universe (and that universe you mentioned sounds like it could make a good sitcom

cyclops will always be the boy scout but x-men will always be nothing without him. he's as integral to x-men as prof x and we all knew HE was comin back so...

Please tell me he's imagining jean there or thinks he's talkin to her ghost and this is NOT a scene where he tells her he just had sex all night with emma bloomin frost. i know he had a telepathic affair but THIS right here, if he said that to jean, y then he's a complete and utter *******.

 

[Harlekin]

A) He didn't have sex with Emma.
B) THat's not a ghost or a hallucination or anything like that.
C) This was before the telepathic affair.

^then y the tension? if u can be arsed to tell me.

 

[Fred_Fury]

Cyclops is a lame pretty boy goody too-shoes boy-scout I HATE CYCLOPS!

get out.

Cyclops and Jean were having marital problems at this point because he had grown withdrawn and disconnected from everything following his possession by Apocalypse. He went to Hong Kong on a mission with Emma and Wolverine to rescue a mutant from the U-Men. Emma visited Scott in the middle of the night, with champagne. We find out later, of course, that they didn't do anything but talk.

The tension's there in that scene because Jean suspects that Scott actually slept with her but is too scared to look into his mind to find out, and Scott is being difficult with her her since, well, that's just what he's been doing for a while.

were there any left over power-boosts or anything interesting power-wise after cyclops merge with apocalypse?

I read x-men for about a year up til that point and stopped and read about 18months worth set a cupla years before that (if that makes sense) through british reprints, but have since sold all these. so im not exactly the biggest fan, but i'd like to know how come they made him into such a weirdo.


i mean i guess its not too out of character. he'd left his wife years earlier when jean returned from the dead, so he can be an A-hole

I think it's pretty out of character - Scott's always been defined in some way by his relationship with Jean Grey. He left Madelyne for Jean. He married Madelyne because she looked exactly like Jean. He formed X-Factor with Jean. Most of his professional and personal decisions up until his merger with Apocalypse had something to do with Jean in one aspect or another.

Then, Mr. Morrison comes in with New X-men and in forty or so issues complicates things, makes Scott love Jean but in a different way then before (why?), and pairs off Scott with Emma (again, why?). I'm not necessarily against this, but I do not think it was necessary at all - Scott and his relationship with Jean was interesting, IMO, from the start. There was no need to change something that wasn't broken in the first place just to make it "more interesting."

At least when Scott left Madelyne for Jean, even if we ignore the fact that Scott still truly loved Jean Grey when he married her clone, the two had a couple decades of history and dialogue between them. Emma Frost, on the other hand, just seemed like a random broad picked out of a magical hat for a fanfic. Okay, Scott and Emma are not ALL bad, but the circumstances that brought them together was...let's say random, and the history between them has been insignificant.

Cyclops is dead. He was killed by the Phoenix. Didnt any of you watch X-Men 3: The Last Stand?
