Visorless Cyclops

[Exploding Boy]

I thought he never actually got brain damage. It was later shown(with Emma's probing) that he mentally made himself not able to control his powers...

Yeah, it said that. Which is f***ing ******ed since he hit his head on a FREAKING ROCK AFTER FALLING OUT A PLANE WITH A BURNING PARACHUTE. Somehow Whedon must have forgotten that little point.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Like most, I like the change but know it won't last after the end of this arc. I say he gains control gets some new-ish powers(beams coming out of more than his eyes like he mentioned), destroys the Breakworld, then looses control.

 

[hippy fascist]

more than his eyes? there's a cheap joke there, but I'm above it so I'll let it pass

 

[Exploding Boy]

Well he said something like 'I always wondered if it could come out of more than my eyes' So that could happen

 

[roach]

why would this need to be done

 

[Darthphere]

why would this need to be done

Because Whedon needed an ego stroke?

My guess is that Whedon will resurect Jean and have her resurect the Breakworld. Do you know how many Jean references the first two volumes of Astonishing X-Men made? A whole freaking lot

I think you might be right about that.

 

[supermarvelman]

Also doesn't the visor alow him to control the intensity and dimesions of the blast, how is going to do that using only his eyes?

He probably won't beable to control his blasts very well without the visor, thats why he will still wear the visor.

Also how can people say Astonishing isn't really in coninuity? Astonishing is where Colossus made his return.

 

[villejo]

Colossus fu**ing owns!!! Sorry for the outburst, but they need this book back in continuity, and the Sentinels need to be destroyed.

 

[supermarvelman]

It is in continuity, you just have to figure out exactly when it's happening. Once Civil War is done with, things will make more sense. Look at Ironman, Civil War is going on right now, but his comic book hasn't caught up yet. Someone said something about how none of the other books are mentioning Emma backstabbing the X-Men, well like most people think Cyke's NEW Optic blast won't last past this arc, same with Emma's betrayel.

I hope not. I like Jean, but she needs to stay dead for a while.

Right, it was to throw people off from the trail of Collossus initially.

The second story arc was not so laden with Jean references. And the latest one obviously dealt with Emma trying to get past the fact that Scott still thinks about her, even still loves her.

Sorry but Jean is not coming back for a long long time at this rate.

its probs been pointed out but if this is him "controlling" his powers and not losing them then surely that implies he could control the degree of the power. its just been said in civil war: x-men (x-men: civil war??) that he holds back the majority of his power anyway, so he already has some kind of control as it stands.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

A visorless Cyclops has been done before,but it has never been permanent.This wont last either.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Wait, why do these changes always have to be temporary? Scott's visor, Peter's new suit, etc. Because we've gotten used to them for 40+ years means they can never change? Who here would really stop reading Spider-man if the IS suit were permanent? I hate how things always reverd back to the stat-quo; makes me take nothing seriously.

The biggest change to happen to comics is Wolverine getting his memories back and they've done squat with that.

Because its all about the fanboy comfort level. They'll take change, but they'll complain after a while that they want it all back. Thats why we get character resurrections all around.

 

[supermarvelman]

I woud keep reading, no matter what.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Seriously, I'm not afraid of some permanent change. It's the same how nobody ever dies. If I were a comic character and aware I was in a comic, I'd be the most wreckless mofo you'd ever seen. I'd even put Logan to shame. Not like I'd be able to die or anything; and even if I did, I'd be back in a year.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Maybe at the end of the Torn arc he gets his visor back but they just made him visorless for the preview so that it doesn't spoil it. And the real cover is him with his visor.

 

[Furthermore]

not like it'll last.

This is marvel trying to sell a few more issues. I'm against it. Super heros without limitations (ie. the inabillity to look at someone without a visor or glasses) arn't interesting. They will go back to the classic look because a classic is a classic for a reason. The visor has longevity behind it. It has stood the test of time - it'll be back.

 

[muertevilla]

That's like saying Thing ought to be cured since Reed has the obvious ability to do so. Or Matt Murdock should no longer be blind. Or that someone ought to be able to reverse Beasts mutations, or "cure" the Hulk.

In any comic we all know certain things are out of whack. But the major crux of Cyclops is that he can't control his optic blasts. It is why his powers are a curse (as most mutants powers are) and why he is so super serious all the time. It is also what makes him distinct from every other energy blaster the Marvel Universe has.

The last thing I want him to be is just some Havok-esque eye blaster. He was cool because he had to wear shades all the time, because you knew what he was holding back. Then he'd take them off a BAM, no more Sentinels.

This is just ruining the one aspect of the character that set him apart.

I couldnt have said it better myself. I probably would have cussed a lot more and made more grammatical errors. thanks

Well, Deadpool is aware that he's a comic book character, and he is the most recjless mofo around. Of course, the fact that he's also one of the few true immortals in the Marvel Universe also helps with that.

As you can see, with the era that has brought Bucky and Jason Todd back from the dead and a semi-resurection of Uncle Ben it's only a matter of time that Jean comes back...AGAIN!

Plus, I think that Whedon would be the only one who can do it without making it stupid.
