Just curious, do you guys think Cyclops would be a better leader of the Xmen while single or with Jean/Emma/Maggie at his right hand?
I dont think it matters. He can be just as effective single or with a partner
Although I think we can say he was even more affected by PTSD under Rosenberg than under Bendis.
We might also be able to consider the start of X-Factor by a technicality. While he was still married, Maddie was missing from issue 2 and it took a while for him to get with Jean. Of course, Scott wasn't in a good place mentally during that period either.
Dark does not mean deep.
Scott has a dependent personality, he is a serial monogamous. If he is a leader he needs someone with whom he can fall apart privately.
Without that person Scott would simply accumulate all those doubts, stress and anxiety until exploding into an optic blast ball. It is not his fault, of course, it is simply a result of his lonely childhood.
