yeah it is more developer bs. But I also think they didn't want to do it cause they didn't want to go through the trouble of creating fusions for cyclops.
their not sure where to start. which is another reason his powers should be explored more in the comics since they've shown and hinted often enough in odd issues there's more to his powers. ( Omega style ,what ever, just come up of new ways to use his powers with more uses for a veriety of effects) But bad editors/ writers of marvel always skip that after they shown glimpse of that.
It was kinda done with ice man for a long while before showing what the issue was with that and that's really their job to finish and flesh it out.
If your gonna be doing stuff like that finish the freaking job. Well they sorta did for ice man. to damn long while too. but their still dancing around on cyclops. point is if you want these guys to do it give them something so they could work with. Cause they don't want to do the job for ya.
they are just showing they can be just as lazy as some people that work on certain comic titles.
