Hell yes!
Absolutely!
Cyclops may cry but Mark Waid forgot in Champions and said that Scott can not like many other nonsense like that he can not swim (he only needs some special diving glasses).
So, after Uncanny #20 we can all agree Rosenberg should never EVER again touch Cyclops after he's done with Uncanny.
In case anyone had doubts JDW still has something against Cyclops, the fact he left this BS pass is the proof we all needed LMAO
Everyone voted in favor except Havok and Madrox because of Sinister's telepathy.

I don't see any blame put into him, yhey even reinforce the idea that they are all choosing it democratically, if anything the ones that are shown more responsible for it are the new mutants, hence their reaction, and they had justified trusting him since his appearance, DBeast had been helping with things like separating them from Warlock and saving Cyclops.
This is why I keep telling people to stop being so negative, you are going to find reasons to hate it even where there aren't, this issue is fine, it's only problem is with the story in general because we know this is just to kill time waiting for Hickman
Scott has been manipulated since his return. First by Cable, then Emma, now Sinister. I cant wait for the real Scott to actually return
For the sake of fairness, the x-committee voted on the matter and Emma is getting screwed over waaayyy worse.
Also, that hair-whipping action was just pure awesome. I'm totally getting an hilariously unintentional "I Hate Myself for Loving You" vibe.
He sure has and we definitely feel the same way. Most likely what that Hickman half-smile is all about.
Cyclops being a pawn of everyone around him would actually explain the predisposition Rachel has to fall into mind control. It's genetic.
You did it, Havok83. You cracked the freaking code. We're already at the bottom of the pit, so we can only go up from here. Godspeed, Hickman. Don't let this go to waste.
Would love to hear his Lordship's response to this, lol.
Along with the not-being-manipulated-anymore part, this would further explains HickmanClops' half-smile from that HoX/Pox image.
"Don't care if I ain't in charge, as long as I don't have to put up with that committee BS, it's all good."
It's arguable that this would have happened even if Scott was "in charge". A lot of decisions in X-Men history have been made by committee. I support direct field leadership because you can't really run ops via committee. There are some non-field decisions that also require a single character to make the call but generally speaking over the X-Men's history, a lot of leeway has been given for discussions about any course of action that was seen as controversial. It's actually in the best interests of the leader and the group to seek consensus where possible.
