I prefer Ult over the 616 Cyclops.

 

[Valechan]

I hate all Cyclopses equally

 

[Brand]

Character's fundamentally the same, really. And the Phoenix storyline sucked big time in the Ultimate verse.

That being said, I don't really care much for Ult Cyke either. Eveyrthing that has been fixed in 616, well... In a sense, he truly is an AU version of his current counterpart.

I loved Ult. Cyke in the early days. The scene where he blasts Wolverine into the snow and throws him off the team is one of my favorite scenes in any comic. t:

Early Ult Cyke had potential.

But then they basically turned him into 90s' Cyke. Thus my comment.

 

[El Bastardo]

I liked Ultimate Cyclops through to Kirkman's run. Vaughan was still writing a good Cyke. "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Magnetic North" come to mind.

 

[Venom160]

Just read the issue, so Kirkman uses Jean to wipe off most of his work, is that supposed to be a parting gift?

As far as im concerned it is. Heres hopin it also wiped Magician of the face of the Ult Marvel universe.

 

[Havok83]

I really havent noticed much of a change for Ult Cyclops. He's fared better than most of the other characters who are horrible in comparison to their 616 counterparts

He hasn't re-appeared in Ult X-Men, has he?

Early on, Cyke actually had a pair (not to mention some potential). We're talking about a guy who wasn't afraid to go alone into Magneto's camp or toe-to-toe with Wolverine on multiple occasions. Lately, he hasn't really done that much; he's been more emo than bad***. He started pouting when the professor declared his love for Jean and hasn't been the same since. It was particularly bad when he refused to keep the X-Men together.

He hasn't re-appeared in Ult X-Men, has he?

No, and let's all pray that trend continues. I despise over-powered characters (go away, Phoenix ).

 

[UraniaChang]

Over-powered characters kill themselves in Marvel most of the time.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

Heads up you guys here a preview for the next arc; I must say it doesn't look bad; it looks very interesting. You guys be the judge:

New scribe Aron Coleite jumps aboard, fresh from his stint as one of the top writers on the hit NBC show Heroes!

Regrouping after the devastating battle against Apocalypse, the X-Men encounter a new adversary which seems unstoppable. To fight it, the young mutants must ask themselves: how far are they willing to go and what are they willing to take to raise their game? The answer will test the bonds and shake the team to its very core

 

[Havok83]

Jean is back. YAY!

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Red back's already...??

Gosh, way to make her "sacrifice" matter in any whatsoever relevant way, lol.

Just, what, she flew off, sat on top of a mountain and came back like two days later...?

omg this looks awsome! Im liking how their following along USM and showing Liz Allen at the school. God Logans' such a perv, hitting on a sixteen year old girl. Atleast Jean was eighteen before he hit dat. Glad to see the old Nightcrawler back aswell.

 

[Brand]

This looks great so far.

Jean is back.

Kurt is acting like his old, sane self. Oh, and he's back.

And this Coleite has done his homework. Logan has a history of pedophilia--he went after a 15-year-old Mary Jane over in USM, and now he's trying to bed the 15/16-year-old Liz Allan. I'm loving the new guy already. t:

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Something just dawned on me...

"I'll burn the hair off your nipples???!!!"

That's the funniest threat ever, lol. Exactly how many guys - without healing factor, mind you - would stop at that?

And how many seconds passed between Cyke pitching the ball to Pete and him... drinking a soda? Or maybe it's booze and he's drinking between every pitch? Sure would explain why Kurt thought he'd get away with that chat.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

you know...to me that looks like johnny storm not jean. specially since logan says " flame off, this is my fight"

 

[Ion Kenshin]

look at the comic again buddy. Jean is there she is the catcher and Logan is talking to Firestar aka Liz Allen who can ignite into flame.

 

[Brand]

The thing that really seals the deal (besides the fact that the catcher looks exactly like Jean) is that Jean and Scott are conversing telepathically.

It's good to see that they're going to be using Liz here in UXM, especially if she's going to be giving Logan a hard time.

theres also the fact that he mentions her by name when talking to her

EA hasnt published a great game in years? Um Burnout Paradise, Skate, Rock Band? Have you heard of these 3 big titles released around the last holiday season?

. . . yeahbuhwhat?

 

[Blacklight]

Uhh...Bobby's not dead, right?
