Scott Summers. The first X-Man. He is one of the few X-Characters to have been involved in pretty much ever media version of the franchise. He is one of the most identifiable X-Men in the franchise. He is usually given the role of field leader, the man who will inherit the Xavier legacy...
With all that in mind, its fair to say, IMO, that most media versions of the character **** all over him.
And the sad part is, it's not the performances per se. James Marsden, and those who have voiced Cyke in the cartoons have all done a great job. In this case, the main problem is perception. In most media versions of the X-Men, Cyke is portrayed unflatteringly. He's shown to be a whiner. A tight wad. Or the guy who's practically obsessed with Jean Grey while she's too busy flirting or making out with Logan. If you ask the common man, they will tell you that they hate cyclops. And really, after all the cartoons and movies, can you blame them?
So, this thread is here to offer ideas as to how to change the perception of this vital character for future media incarnations
