Wonder if Bunn will write a Jean and Cyclops sex scene in X-Men Blue!

[Wiccan]

If you need help finding it, just shoot me a PM. I doubt this is something Cullen Bunn or anyone else at Marvel would ever attempt, but it's still fun to explore.

Nah, I'm always on AO3, though more reading than writing, so it was easy to find.

I've never been a big Jean and Cyclops fan but I believe they deserve to be together. The 05 versions. It's not fair Adult Beast took that away from them. Cyclops will at least learn soon that his adult counterpart wasn't as bad as he was led to believe. I think he will relay the info to Jean. Question is will that matter? Jean will have a lot on her mind regarding Phoenix. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility they hook up.

Not gonna happen.

Putting Scott and Jean back together--in any incarnation--is the last thing Marvel is going to do with those two at this point. Marvel editorial is made up of Bronze Age comics fans who are deeply anti-Jott because of Jean's resurrection and the whole Madelyne Pryor mess in the 80s. To them, Jean should've stayed dead after the Dark Phoenix Saga, period. Putting them back together now would also go against the whole point of going back to teenage versions of the characters: to write versions with no continuity baggage.

Marvel will periodically tease a Tyke/Jeen romance as a lure for long-time fans, but they'll never follow through. Been there, done that.

And I think the Jott well is dry until the next X-men movie.

There are still new places left to go with Jott, but only with the adult versions and only to places that would violate Marvel's editorial policies against superhero marriage, aging the characters beyond their 30s, etc. Scott and Jean are also both currently dead, of course. That said, this is comics so that doesn't have to be an impediment. Marvel just brought back Gwen Stacy. Gwen. Stacy. But I digress...

As a long-time fan, I'd love to read the stories of Scott and Jean finally having Rachel, having to balance family life against superheroics, protecting their family from their enemies, deciding whether or not to try and live normal lives, re-assessing their roles in Xavier's dream, and deciding whether to raise their kids to be like them. Scott Lobdell and Steve Seagle both started down this road in the 90s, but editorial cut them off.

ONLY if it leads to a 616 Rachel. And I think that would be a reason that Bunn would enjoy it, but otherwise it's a terrible idea. All around.

[cyclopcap]

Well it looks like my opinion does differ from a lot of you. Haha.

As I said, these two likely wouldn't make my top 10 characters list. I just think they work together.

No, not everbody. When written well, they are an awesome pairing and a core of the Xmen Mythology....

[ZNOP]

I could care less who Jean hooks up with. But Scott damn well better marry Madelyne Pryor and have Nathan Christopher. If they manage to erase Cable's existence I'm gonna be extremely vexed.

Being that Nathan currently exists I see no way that can logically happen...

ONLY if it leads to a 616 Rachel. And I think that would be a reason that Bunn would enjoy it, but otherwise it's a terrible idea. All around.

I concur

[LocoSteve]

I don't read comics for porn

[Rising7]

There was a point during the initial Bendis' ANXM run where one of them referred to the other as their best friend, which I liked and wouldn't mind seeing played up. I also think emphasizing the team bond like this and in additional ways could contribute to the idea advanced on such occasions as their fight with Mystique/Sabretooth/Lady Mastermind and the Superior Spidey/Hulk crossover (by Cap and Doc Ock, respectively), that the O5 are evidently legendary in their competence as heroes even in early years. Basically young X-Factor if you will.

[Badou]

Jean was hooking up with Beast a bit then some fellow student at her college in the EXM series. She doesn't seem all that interested in Scott and I don't think Marvel has much interest in having the two be together any time soon if at all. I imagine that they will tease something but it is a safe bet that Jean will get a new love interest in her solo book.

[theoneandonly]

won't it be too reminiscent of Superboy and Wondergirl doing it in the barn if they do have such a scene where they are undressing each other in the dark with their eyes glowing

[Master of Sound]

Poor thread title, really

[Slicknickshady]

Ok, i am at the loss. So many people mentioning the thread title. Am i missing something? Whats wrong with the thread title? haha. I'm like trying to look at it and see the problem with it.

[Outside_85]

I don't see what the point of this would be, repeating the pattern from the past 40 years? Should we expect another blond bombshell to come between them as well?

Honestly though I think they should leave the Jean and Clops thing with the two, now dead, adults... that was their thing. The youngsters should be used to explore new relationships... not like there isn't enough young characters to go around these days.

As a long-time fan, I'd love to read the stories of Scott and Jean finally having Rachel, having to balance family life against superheroics, protecting their family from their enemies, deciding whether or not to try and live normal lives, re-assessing their roles in Xavier's dream, and deciding whether to raise their kids to be like them. Scott Lobdell and Steve Seagle both started down this road in the 90s, but editorial cut them off.

This seems to be a sentiment among many fans I've talked to. Some may claim that Cyclops/Jean just doesn't have much potential from a storytelling point of view, but I disagree. They've never had a chance to be part of a story where they have a kid, like Rachel, and try to raise her in the midst of all the craziness surrounding the X-men. Given Rachel's popularity, plus the fact that Bunn is a big fan of her, I think this is a story worth telling. There have been a lot of big X-men stories in the past couple decades, but none have really focused on two X-men being parents to a young child. That's a story with some very real appeal. It's not like it's never happened. A big part of the F4 was built around Reed and Sue trying to raise their family together. Now that they're gone, I think there's a void to fill. We've seen with Renew Your Vows that there's a market for that kind of family-centric story. So why not let Cyclops and Jean Grey be part of that story?

Granted, a lot would have to happen. First, the O5 X-men would have to go back to the future. Then, Cyclops and Jean's adult self would have to return. Then, they'd have to have Rachel. That's not a story that can be told in a single arc. However, I still think it's a story worth telling and I hope someone at Marvel, like Cullen Bunn, gets around to telling it.

This is the true legacy of Jean Grey, unfortunately. And it's not just the deaths. Her entire character is flattened for that "relationship".

Let her get to live life. She's a pretty strong character when they are not making her stories all about how Cyclops feels and about how he copes when she's not around. He's a character that needs another character to die/screw up his life for his man-pain martyrdom shtick, and that's fine. Not my favorite kind of character but whatever...as long as they don't ruin multiple other characters for that (too late, I know).

But moving forward, Jeen Grey, Jean Grey, and whoever can do her own thing and we can really see the character explored for once.

And as a leader and in a solo, no less!

We've been given nice things, let's not purposefully destroy them.

Isn't there a perfectly unimportant space-girl character from the Cyclops solo that is ripe for sacrifice instead?

This

I really don't want cyclops to screw all over Jean grey character, she deserves much better than him.
we all know cyclops sucks in relationships and also sucks the life out of his partners

Common, for years Cyclops was just the guy between Jean and Logan, this even translated into the movies. And if you read Whedon or Ellis run, you wil see that he doesn't need other characters to be cool.

But overall I believe you and I want the same thing, that both Jean and Teen Cyclops has a new development without being tied to each other, Bunn is one of my favorites writers right now, and I trust him to be able to do that.

P.S. If the alien girl is Vileena Malefect and she comes to get her revenge I will love it.

Cyclops was never the guy between Wolverine and Jean, cause jean never loved wolverine while jean was clearly the love of wolverine's life. It was basically some sexual attraction, nothing serious
