Cyclops definitely didn't get the love and respect he'd have deserved. And poor James Marsden is now stuck in a career as a chauffeur for questionable CGI characters...

To be fair, getting a raw deal is kind of Cyclops' thing.

@Reeds2Much - Yeah but he should at least be badass while getting those raw deals!

@smgmayhem - lol. Exactly. Cyclops was a useless chump in the foxmen films. Still is as a matter of fact.

Cyclops is leader of the X-Men and one of the srongest mutants ever. You'd never know it watching any of the Foxmen films.

@Comicbookart - He is not only the “Captain America” of the xmen but of the whole mutant population. He has incredible character growth and IMO the rest of the xmen can’t be themselves without Cyclops planning, strategizing and leading the team. This article just made my day that important people in the industry actually care about this. Gives me hope.

@Comicbookart - My genuine favorite Cyclops moment is in the Byrne/Claremont run, after Proteus warped Wolverine's reality but before they defeat Proteus, Wolverine is out of it, zoned out, in shock. Cyclops starts acting like an asshole to him and Logan starts arguing back and pretty soon Wolverine, while not over it, is getting on with the mission at end. He's not a genuine dick (till X-Factor at least); he's playing up being a dick because that's sometimes how a leader gets the best out of his men.

My batshit crazy favorite Cyclops moment is in the Roy Thomas era when the other original four get kidnapped by Magneto, and a new supervillain appears wanting to join his team, Erik the Red, dressed in shiny red armor with blasts from his hands. Turns out it's Scott, having built an entire suit of armor out of ruby quartz (!) so that his optic blasts are channeled to the suit's hands and fool Magneto. As someone who was first aware of the Shi'ar 2nd Erik the Red from the cartoon, actually reading the first Erik the Red storyline was [frick]ing insane.

@DalekCraigWasson - That Claremont moment is one of my fav's as well.
A leader is supposed to know his team inside and out, and Cyclops proved in that moment that he knew Wolverine, who was still a newer member at the time, well enough to know aggression was the only thing Wolverine would respond to in that state.

@DalekCraigWasson - that reminds me of the moment in the Claremont fun that the whole X-men team was out of sorts so he decided to run a “training session” right out in the open and starting blasting the team. They were so confused they had to react and defend themselves which got them out of their funk and could focus again. And I loved that nobody really commented that he nearly took out the entire team himself.

But that’s what a leader does. Whatever takes to get the team focused and successful.

Jesus Christ. It's actually happening. Cyclops is going to get the respect he deserves. The X-Men are going to get the respect they deserve.

I just want X-Men films as bonkers and incredible as this

@Comicbookart - it’s about damn time I’ll say. Give us a proper age of apocalypse too

@Comicbookart - The ironic part is the Brood never actually appeared in the 90's cartoon.

Cyclops is Captain America if Captain America made mistakes and was kind of an asshole about it.

Cyclops is Captain America if Captain America's mistakes would make the world hate an entire population of innocent people.

Cyclops is Captain America if Captain America's leadership was constantly challenged by everybody including (but not limited to) bald professors, mutant terrorists, future children, Canadian douchebags, African weather chicks, Jewish teenagers, his own brother, and Captain America himself.

"Raw deal" doesn't even begin to describe Scott Summers' life.

He's literally the most realistic super hero leader ever.

@MaximusTheMad - I have long wanted a scene in the MCU where the X-Men appear, prevent public disaster, get shit on publicly for it (not like CW where it's Wanda's actions; this would be pure mutant bias), and Cyclops breaks down to Jean, "Why?! Why are we so different from the Avengers and Fantastic Four?! How come when they do it, they get cheers and when we do it, they sneer at us and give us dirty looks? What did we ever do to them?" And Jean just explains it's prejudice, it doesn't have to make sense.

This has long been a sort of fan question but instead of saying (like some people) "Put the X-Men in their own universe," I say address it head on and make it about the core theme of X-Men: prejudice. Cap can be this Cyclops' idol, yet him and the X-Men are treated like the C-listers who may turn on you at any moment.

I think the first X-Men movie within the MCU should focus on the first team from the comics. And that would also mean a better Cyclops

Uh no shit we want one of the best X-Men to get the proper on-screen treatment. If anyone can do it, it's these guys.
