If Scott Summers aka Cyclops is declared as Most Rightest Marvel character...

[CraigTheCylon]

Look...this ain't even a question, bro/sis/non-gender-based slang term of your choice. Cyclops is right. Doesn't matter what the question is, he is right in all things.

When he formed a team of the scariest, most OP mutants he could find as a deliberate threat to the human world? He was RIGHT and TOTALLY knew this was all going to lead to a big fight with the Avengers, the loss of a cool island home and possession from a big space bird, NONE of which would have ANY negative results.

When he found himself a pariah in a world with the mutant population blooming once more, and decided to relocate to a supervillain death bunker without even trying to hash things out with the other X-Men, maybe elect a new non-fugitive leader to carry on in his absence? RIGHT AGAIN, because he KNEW that leaving the rest of the X-Men to stew and worry over whatever he was planning instead of doing any actual X-Men work would make mutantkind STRONGER.

When he cracked open the Phoenix Egg which he got from...uhm...rightness?...Hickman?...and hoarded its power for himself just to shoot at some largely pointless aircraft while two Earths collided around him? ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, because making it to Battleworld as a smoking, glowing hippy only to get his neck snapped by God Doom was very helpful and definitely not a waste of time and page space that could've been given over to any number of more significant subplots.

And hey, it goes back even further! When Cyclops wouldn't leave the X-Men that first time until Storm kicked his ass out the door? That was PLANNED. Because he knew full well that making Storm look like a bully in her first act of official leadership would make everyone less likely to accept her commands, and that would make the team bond all the closer. And when Cyclops fell out of that exploding plane and landed on his head, giving himself brain damage that would impair his abilities for his whole adult life? That was a deliberate stroke of GENIUS because he knew that wearing sunglasses indoors is the height of cool and everyone would like him more. We don't even need to get into the Maddie Pryor stuff again - I mean, c'mon, what was he supposed to do? Explain stuff to her? Pfffft. He got a demonic ex with a fantastic rack AND a son who is both John Connor and the Terminator simultaneously out of the deal. Happy accident? Hell no. Rightness.

So when you hear Tom Brevoort going on and on about how Death of X and Birth of X and Taste the Gooey Placenta of X and of course the eagerly awaited Potty Training of X will show how the public perceive Cyclops as "just like Hitler", we all know not to be worried! At worst he'll be the right sort of Hitler. Like, he still wants to kill all the Jews but he does it nicely and painlessly, and maybe gives out free lollipops as he goes. The kind of Hitler that would help an old lady cross the street. The fuhrer of the Third Recht. That's Cyclops.

With all this in mind, one problem remains - his name. 'Cyclops' may have been cool once, but it doesn't quite emphasize the majesty of one who is right in all things. It...mostly just says he's got one eye, which he doesn't. How can The Right Man have a name which is WRONG?? Plainly this injustice must be addressed! Please, let's help the X-offices out and brainstorm some suitable appellations for the living (until proven otherwise) saint.

Free examples:

- Rightclops (Bit played out already)
- C-TRUTH (All he needs now is an imaginary child to have creepy days out with!)
- Mister Righty McRightsalot (Possibly Sir Righty McRightsalot, if we can get her madge on board)
- Right-Wing (His name is Scott Summers, and he will make America great again.)
- Captain Never-Wrong (Why should the Avengers have the monopoly on Captains, dammit?)
- General Never-Wrong (Even better!)
- Sénor Veritas (Ooh, getting a little Latin in both senses of the word. Very nice.)
- Z'Cott the Corrector (KNEEL BEFORE Z'COTT!)

DISCLAIMER: Did you even read this far before making an eye-rolling reply? Congratulations! And yeah, trollpost is trollpost, but I didn't do one for the entirety of September so I think I'm entitled.

I still don't undestand how Cyke was right in avx.
He was trying to destroy the world at the end. World was in flames.

And then in Uncanny a lot of peoples with posters Cyke was right. It is ridiculous.

He was wrong that Hope was ready for the Phoenix and his initial plan would have resulted in the world's destruction. He was right that it the Phoenix force could be used to undo the Witch's spell but he wasn't right about anything else.

[Huntsman Spider]

He was right in the sense that when he and four others had the Phoenix power forced on them by the Avengers' interference, they weren't using it to kill people or burn the world to a cinder or make humanity submit. No, they were doing good things like solving climate change and ending famines and droughts and taking out warlords and dictators, stuff that would eventually lead to world peace. But no, the Avengers decided to aggravate them into insanity because they knew the Phoenix power would corrupt them sooner or later --- which in all fairness it did, but not until after they'd been put under so much pressure already, as the Phoenix amplifies emotions and desires --- so they figured they'd just speed up the process so that they'd have more of an excuse to take them down and preserve their status as the top heroes of the Marvel Universe. And thus, death and destruction that didn't need to happen and wouldn't have happened if the Avengers had tried to work with the X-Men instead of hounding them to the point that the Phoenix-possessed X-Men started snapping. That is how Cyclops was right.

[Narasinha]

He went out with Emma Frost and that was wrong. If he was wrong about one thing, he could be wrong about others. So he was probably wrong about many other things too. QED

I don't understand why do You think that mass memory rewrite is good...
Cyclops forgot about his mission (create more mutants) plus he brainwashed people.... Possessed Cyclops was was acting bad from the beginning.

That particular method wasn't good. Violating free will was and has never been a good idea. What I am saying is that of all the horrible things the Phoenix-possessed X-Men could have done with their newfound power, they instead chose to focus on making the world a better place and they were doing a good job of that until being constantly hounded by the Avengers out of the (perfectly understandable and rational) fear that the Phoenix-possessed X-Men would go mad with power caused them to do exactly the Avengers feared they would --- go mad with power. Self-fulfilling prophecies, aren't they a pain?

[The tall man]

Can't wait to see what editorial pull out of their asses to make Cyclops right about DOX, IVX & RESURRXION. We all know that when all is said and done, Cyclops will be the big hero who saves mutant kind; and back leading the xmen. All the fan boys will just love it, the "king of mutants" back as the center of the x-universe.

If they make the world a better place, mutants will be safe in that better world. There's no point in making more mutants in a world that'll hunt them all down and lynch them just for existing. Hell, after the conclusion of Avengers Vs. X-Men, that was exactly what happened to a lot of the new mutants, some of whom Cyclops was responsible for rescuing.

Yes mutants were lucky because everyone was against Cyclops. Hope and Wanda created more mutants. Cyclops did nothing.

[Gray Lensman]

What's funny about AvX is that he was supposed to be the villain of the story, but the writers did such a horrible job that the end result wasn't quite what they expected.

Steve asking Logan about the Phoenix and no one talking to Rachel, even though she was in the same building.

No one mentioning that asking Logan how to deal with Scott is one of the stupidest ideas ever (neither one thinks perfectly straight where the other is concerned), especially after a public breakup like they had just had.

The catalyst for the second attack on Utopia (the one where Thor attacks kids playing video games!) being that Piotr...um....negotiated with someone. Cap came off as General Ripper in that one.

Steve practically calling for Scott's head while Namor was wrecking Wakanda, while pleading for the chance to talk Namor down.

The Avenger's final plan being very close to the initial plan the X-Men had.

The previous plans basically being attack, attack, attack! despite warnings from Beast and Reed that up until that point all the bad things done by the P5 had been in direct response to attacks.

Not having any of the Phoenix Five reject the power on their own. Hope, by definition of being a 'chosen one' was different. They needed a non-Hope avatar to give it up to properly convince readers that it could be done.

Years of forgiving characters that had been possessed when they did stuff, until that moment.

AvX really needs to be used in writing courses as a shining example of how NOT to tell a story. Is it any wonder that so many readers came to the opposite conclusion than the one that was intended?

While I dislike Scemma, Jean herself made Scott get with Emma and stay with the X-Men to stop the Here Comes Tomorrow future.
