Cyclops has the X-gene in the 616 universe, therefore he's part of a minority group (mutants) just like Storm, Sunspot, etc. Are we really gatekeeping who can be a ''real'' representative of mutant kind or not?
As a black man, this issue is exactly like the light skin vs dark skin debate in the african american community. Discrimination among ourselves. It's stupid.
He's continuously shooting red optic blast from his eyes when he doesn't have glasses on or when his eyes aren't shut. One might argue that someone like Storm is more ''normal'' than Cyclops, because her power is less of a problem in her everyday life. The minority factor here is the x-gene, nothing else.
