Hell yes!
Absolutely!
Let us not forget that only the Champs were there to witness Scott's greatest achievement--
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Gotta love it when an Android fits in a little better than Scott.

It is possible that in-universe the 90s costume symbolize a great time for Scott as a leader but for me as a reader ... It remains a costume that has not aged well. For me the ideal would be that at the end of the arc it would end with one that was intermediate between that of Utopia and 90s. Uncovered hair but with less pouches.
Incidentally, that page (from September 2017's Champions #12) contains an art error. In the Halloween flashback, Scott should've been wearing his old costume, as the new one hadn't yet debuted on the previous Halloween (it debuted in March. In fact, Champions had only launched in October 2016, so the Halloween scene would have to be between the first two arcs).

Champions was somewhat inconsistent with Scott. In a number he said he could not cry because he did not know what his tears could do and if something we have seen Tyke do is cry. Anyway I liked that moment with Kamala where they show how even before the plane crash he was already a hero.
Thoughts on this?Scott has always "shouldered" responsibility. He's taken the responsibility of being a leader very, very seriously. But he has never constantly WHINED like this. *Oh I'm such a terrible person, I ruined everything, I regret everything, I killed the dream...." Geezus, feeling the weight of consequences, over-thinking his role as leader ≠ constantly whining and complaining and self-flagellating out loud to anyone who will listen. How is this a mature man? How is this Cyclops of the last 15 years? I guess Cyke not only got Tyke's memories, he became a whiny 16 year old too.
I'm amazed at how some fans are going along with this. Fact: Scott Summers did not ruin anything. He saved mutantkind. Fact: Scott Summers didn't doom the "dream" because there never was a viable dream to begin with. Xavier was a manipulative, hypocritical cult leader and it was so refreshing when Cyclops figured that out. Fact: Scott Summers was blamed both in-Universe for sh*t he didn't do, and in a meta sense this narrative was pushed by writers and editors and is still being pushed.
So we had leader Scott, who manned-up and rejected the old ways, created something new. We had Tyke, who was still acting like a brainwashed princess. Now we have this new Scott who is a whiny, depressed penitent who alternates between adult responsible and crybaby. It isn't good enough for Marvel to constantly hit fans over the head with "Cyclops was Wrong" editorially, or by having other characters in the Marvel Universe say it, now they have to hit us over the head with Scott Summers himself crying about it comic after comic. Still does NOT make it true, either.
How is this making us feel sorry for Scott Summers? How is this showing respect for the character? It makes me cringe. I don't see characterization here, just Marvel beating a dead horse.
I really was looking forward to this new era of UNCANNY. But not if I'm going to have to read about Scott Summers making an ass out of himself every other issue, especially to make Wolverine look good. Like Logan is always right, I suppose. Like his behavior the last 15 years was morally unimpeachable?
