I liked Tyke's solo but yeah it caused more damage than good. I remember that on the cover of the first trade paperback a line was written: Those who gave up on him in AvX will start loving him again after reading this.
I was like bro avx only made me love Cyclops evern more
Cyclops is not getting a ongoing solo anytime soon, he is as far as the previews say the central character of X-Men, if Cyclops was missing from the previews or in a secondary role in some of the books I would be more hopeful.
What keeps me optimist is that apparently McKay asked for the character, what is way better than the last writers who didn't.
I just don't think it will be Cyclops, it would be great if he was getting one, but I think the best we can hope is for MacCay to do a great job with the character in his X-Men.
If not Cyclops, I hope it's Magik who get's a solo, she is my favorite after Scott, and it would piss me off if it was Quire getting one.
Magik would be a good choice too, she's awesome. But I don't think it makes sense to not have a Cyclops solo, Brevoort said that he wants many characters to have solos, and who's a better option than Scott? He's the most important X-Men character, I'm not holding my breath either but he should get one eventually.
EDIT: You know what? I'm not even gonna bother anymore.

Eh, if he's one of the min focal points for Adjectiveless, there's not much of a reason for Scott to have a solo. At best, if he got one, it'd probably cover the missing time before the new team got set-up if McKay just hits the ground running and doesn't really flashback to anything that happened prior to #1.

Scott's powers were amped here by both Jean and Nathan, was there ever any other instances of Scott being Amped like this?
I think it's the same thing, he served as a conduit for Jean, Nathan and his own powers and unleashed an extremely devastating optic blast that atomized Apocalypse's final form. It happens in X-Factor Vol. 1 #68, right before Scott is forced to send his son to the future
I think in the Thomas run (am I remembering the writer correctly?) pre-Claremont he does the same, even requiring Bobby to keep him cooled to make channeling the energy safer. He's absorbing Havoc's blast, made more efficient by(IIRC) Polaris keeping things contained so nothing bleeds away. It's been a while since I have read the story, but I think it's part of the Essential X-Men, volume 2.
