Tons of folks have already nailed it - Cyclops is not cool.
Being responsible to a fault, Cyclops is inherently lame.
Do you know where the term “wet blanket” comes from?
Scott does. And he can’t wait to lecture you about it, after he’s done stopping you from riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
There’s a difference between looking cool and being cool.
Scott can very easily look cool - the man is practically a super model.
But being cool is a much taller order.
As a Cyclops fan, I don’t need him to be cool.
He’s an intelligent, disciplined, devoted, and not-so-secret badass.
And that’s cool.
