Scott Summers, bipolar?

[TheDeadSpace]

I don't think Scott's overall behavior fits into bipolar disorder. Most of it is the result of abandonment issues and low self esteem. While he does get depressed quite often, that's the only actual mental disorder I would think fits him.

Eh, Sinister has a very narrow view of perfection. He would not want Scott's DNA with that baggage. It would make the creation harder to control. And, again, I think it would have been mentioned by now. Sinister has studied Scott for most of the latter's life.

Sinister is directly responsible for 60% of his issues.

I don't think he is bipolar but I think it's safe to say he has chronic depression and anxiety, it's not just questioning him self and self loathing a lot of his character traits are of someone who struggles with depression on a regular basis. He's the most solitaire memebr of the x-men. He did commit suicide in a alternate reality what if

Wasn't that the one where everyone else had been killed in a nightmare technological dystopia?

Yep, you don't ask abusers to evaluate their victims' mental health.

It just doesn't seem likely he'd be anything than maybe a little OCD.

Scott just needs more ice-cream.

I am however, much more interested in what flavor of ice cream he'd choose.

Extreme hero syndrome? He pretty much blames himself for everything and puts the weight of the world on his shoulders, add survivor guilt from survivng the mutant holocaust 3.0 because he's dead and he's what you get

I actually think Sinister would give a very honest review of Scott's mental state. Of course, he'd be doing that to make it worse...

Vanilla? Ameri-Cone Dream?

“His mindscape is absolutely the best place to text out all of my new nightmare fuel expiraments!”

Probably rocky-road. He'd cry as he'd eat it...

Scott strikes me as a guy who prefers sorbet.

Haven't the faintest idea how Tyke 2.0 going from brooding/depressed/despaired to slightly more brooding/depressed/despaired has anything to do with bipolar disorder.
