say what you will. i've read CC, and whenever he wanted to give cyclops some spotlight to avoid making him wallpaper he didnt know what to do(because claremont WAS a good writer and knew that wallpaper characters are a lame concept even if he didnt like scott). he either made a good speech , or had some chick drooling for him. in CC's good days, he had some moments with jean. but as a personality, he never realy got any character development.
