Scott Summers aka Cyclops Appreciation 2021

[Gray Lensman]

Wolverine and Storm didnt have a problem with Utopia. Storm's issue with Scott was the formation and secrecy behind X-Force and Wolverine's was about using the kids on the front lines. Both supported the concept of Utopia

Those get forgotten since under Aaron Wolverine restarted the whole 'secret kill squad' back up and Storm (nor anybody else for that matter) had even a fraction of the problem with it while the kids were depicted in combat far more often than they were before. In practice it came across as things pissing them off so much that they left to go someplace where the problems that supposedly drove them away were even worse.

It's part of where a lot of us got the ideas that "It's only wrong when Cyclops does it" and the correlary "Anything BECOMES wrong when Cyclops does it".

Something I found funny about Hickman's X Men is that everyone is embracing Scott's philosophies and tactics unconditionally from his time as the Ruler of Mutants. Even Wolverine and Storm who strongly opposed his methods and found him extreme accepted them. While at first, I hated the idea of Scott doing nothing, I just realized that this is his victory. Utopia is the foundation he laid, but it was halted and even attacked by the Avengers and Inhumans only to return a stronger and powerful nation of its own, Krakoa. Johnathan Hickman himself stated that he was responsible for the death of Professor X during AvX, and it made things worse for the X Men. Especially with the deadman Scott era, X Men had it rough as the world itself transforming into a mutant holocaust camp. But now, things have changed and the mutants have put aside their difference and became a unity, a nation. I love this irony because it was Hickman who decided to kill the professor off and make Scotty walk a darker path and it was he who returned him to his true self and gave him a happy win.

The way it was phrased here seems more like Hickman accidentally contributed to Xavier's death by suggesting how he should be introduced into AvX.

But really the way Hickman wrote the Illuminati in his Avengers run really does seem to imply that he had Xavier planned to participate all along, especially with the frequency of alternate-universe Xaviers that popped up during the various incursions, or Beast wishing he was as solid as the Professor when he joined the team.

Be that as it may, though, Scott's experience with Utopia likely informs why he'd rather hang back as a captain than as part of the Council (he's had a taste of that life already), plus why he argues that Krakoa should have an X-Men team analogous to how the Avengers represent America (for the most part -- sure, they have the occasional Wakandan or other, but the team usually has Captain America and Iron Man in the lead).

Dont get me started on this hypocristy

First panel, Wolverine objects to the kids saving him from Exodus


Next page he is leading them into battle


By the end Hope is calling him out on using children when its convenient

This needs to be Scott's new costume. Just change the visor

Looks ok for a special occasion, but as a regular thing it'll start to get silly.

X-men Legacy 263

[AJpyro]

We need to get more people to read Xmen legacy.

I know the central part of that arc was Rogue conflicting with Logan, but it still was rather surprising that a Wolverine/Yellow-side book so openly threw Logan's hypocrisy in his face like that given how he was being presented back then.
