Scott Summers: Cyclops Appreciation 2020

[xiyon]

Scott's dead carcass actually carried the franchise for years until Hickman slipped in. Just, dang.

And just when the ship started righting itself, the coronavirus hit it port-side.

That didnt really happen though. The first hint of anything happening with Scott in EXM was in #1 and all Lemire wrote was Jean saying "Look, I told you all after everything that happened with Cyclops, I just want to leave it behind." That was very neutral and doesnt paint a bad picture. In #7 Magik attacks Sunfire saying "If you and Cyclops hadnt acted like you did, there wouldnt have been anti-mutant riots, Sunfire". Still vague and while this alludes to something bad happening, never is he referred as a mass murder or psychopath. The riots make a bit more sense given what I write in the next paragraph.

In #5, a reporter mentions that mutants are spreading disease and asks how many people have to die. Storm says "Cyclops did something terrible. There is no excuse for his actions." This could be referenced to Death of X when Emma makes that broadcast using Scott's image to the world and lied about the T-mist being fatal to humans. I can see why people would be fearful that this mutant disease could be spread to humans. Look at whats happening with our current pandemic? There is alot of misinformation going around, and whether its true or not, people are running with it and being hateful and racist to groups they feel are the source of the disease

Lemire kept it fairly vague and safe when it came to what Scott did. Other writers didnt or barely touched it. The mutant Hitler rhetoric may have been a thing under Hopeless and I think the Champions writers but I dont think its really fair to blame them. Its clear Marvel didnt know where they were going with this story, and the writers of the satelite books were given very vague overview of what the status quo was as Scott's sin hadnt been established. There was alot of editorial mandate during this era and the writers were instructed to get things from Point A to B. Unfortunately this was not ironed out too well and the mystery they had been building up to fell flat once the reveal happened

If you would kindly stop defending Fake News in a character appreciation thread. Nobody's saying Marvel didn't keep it vague. We're saying there was absolutely nothing neutral about aforementioned vagueness. Here, someone put this together few years back. Somewhat obliterates the "Marvel kept it sooo vague it totally could've meant a huuuge misunderstanding and Cyclops was never intended to be the embodiment of pure eviiiil" defense.

"What Cyclops Did"- Reconciling Death of X and ANAD

Anyway, what's up on the Cyke front, lately? My LCS has been closed for weeks and I just don't care enough about the relaunch to switch to digital. Mildly effective in the field and still super stoked with his current familial/relationship situation, I guess?

He's had some decent showings in NM, Wifi, and Xmen.

Illyana was kind of a drama queen but in Xmen he and her had a pretty baller team up.

Finally in Hellions, we finally got that "Rawr, X Gon give it to Ya!" When the QC decided to hand Alex over to Sinister. Good book. Recommend it.

Yeah, I wanted to forget how bad it was, and it got so bad where people were either confused about what the direction they were trying to go with the character (https://jontrouten.blogspot.com/2017...ps-hitler.html, https://bleedingcool.com/comics/the-...se-than-usual/) or even better, run with the whole "Cyclops is a terrible superhero" train:

It was honestly irritating on multiple levels.

Cyclops and Illyana's relationship right now looks like Batman running the Justice League and Robin running the Teen Titans.

So, what is the most sexy picture drawn of Cyclops published in the X-books?

Saw the last picture and had to do a double-take. Thought for a second that Viv was Ruby XD

As for the Cyke front... nothing really.

All I have are fanfiction :'D

This was when he was merged with Apocalypse. It is from the Search for Cyclops mini. It was a cover.

Edit: I am so captain obvious but at least I can admit it.

This is very bad looking, if you look closely. Not hot at all or sexy.
