    Now, *this* works. Wyngarde doing the slowburn play to destroy the X-Men from the inside by playing on their PTSD of Jean's sacrifice is really good stuff.

    IIRC, she admitted to Jean during Inferno that she used on power on Scott so he would lose his bout with Storm for leadership of the X-Men.

I am not sure what else there really is to do after Cyke spent issue after issue lamenting his poor choices. Its not like he joined X-Factor and never spoke of her until Inferno, and then never again.

    You're probably thinking of Scott and Ororo's duel for leadership. This is what Maddie was actually thinking during the duel: (Uncanny X-Men #201, First Series):
    "I want Scott to lose, so he'll be coming with us--except losing will break his heart. Oh, why can't it be because he wants to, instead of because he has no other choice?"
    And this is the Goblin Queen's revisionist history version during Inferno (X-Factor #38, First Series):
    "The old leader versus the new. They fought before, you know…Cyclops…versus a powerless Storm. I waited nearby. I knew what was needed. Scott had to be humiliated, defeated, so that he would leave his beloved X-Men and cling only to me. I experienced the fight as a sort of day dream, in which she I got my heart’s desire. And then I learned that Storm had, indeed, won. I didn’t know till later that my nascent powers had awakened ... that I had influenced their battle and that the victory was really mine."
    (Quoted from memory, aided by https://uncannyxmen.net )

    Yes, Madelyne may have been subconsciously influencing the duel, but I don't believe she was intentionally undermining Scott. All she needed for that was her tongue, her temper and the truth: that he had new responsibilities as a husband and new father.

    Yea, its a mix of the duel with Storm and her commenting about how she felt Scott slipping away and thought the baby would keep him around. My fault, its been a bit since I read Inferno I'll admit.

    Thanks for sharing! Was a fun listen.

    I know fans have different feelings about this. I sincerely hope they lean into Fabian's initial treatment of those (Eve, Cain and Abel) characters in Age of Apocalypse where Adam was the only survivor from that lab. I enjoy the mythos of the Summers family, am happy Adam-X is getting his intended due, but am not campaigning for there to be other missing Summers siblings/family members all over the place. Plus I think it would dilute some of Adam's "special-ness" if he were just part of a brood vat (not only to Scott & Alex, but even to Erik the Red and the Crystal Claws who then would've just sought out Eve/Cain/Abel since Adam really wanted no part of the cult or their plan).

    It's almost like they want cyclops fans mad and yelling at them. Blegh.

    Like wut?
    Folks still mad at Scott for ruining the Schism/Make-the-X-Men-Great-Again era by turning it into an hilariously unintentional rom-com/horror movie. Oh well.

    Anyway. Hickman's PCClops still as PC and non-controversial as ever? Finally gotten over the urge to punch XoS in the face, but I'm still in no hurry whatsoever to pick up an x-book.

    I dunno, Cyclops had little to do in XoS, but he most certainly made the most of it, probably giving one of his best defining moments since AvX by making the case for the existence of the X-Men themselves (and remarkably consistent with Whedon's Cyclops, too).

    what's "PCClops"?

    Anyway, I find that X-Factor and Hellions have been consistently good reads. Marauders and X-Force are inconsistent but have their moments.

    Scott and Jean basically staged a not-really-Coup against the not-really-wrong-in-this-instance-Council because Logan and Ororo are the worst freakin' teensitters ever. 'Whatever' pretty much sums my thoughts on the matter.

    Politically Correct. Hickman's idea of fixing/redeeming the character was to basically strip the character of all his likable/unlikable traits.

    CouldnotpossiblyoffendanyoneeverClops just didn't have much of a ring to it.
