Cyclops or Storm: who was the better leader during mutantkind's most dire times?

[Dum Dum Dugan]

Cyclops, who led the X-Men in the aftermath of Wanda's decimation, or Storm, who led the X-Men when the terrigen cloud was poisoning mutantkind?

Who did a better job protecting their people in the face of extinction and genocide?

[Vegan Daddy]

Queen Summers

Great. Just when I thought things were getting back to normal. Y'all gonna start this mess again.

Much like Iron Man in*Civil War, there’s a lot of factors that make it up to the readers if Cyclops truly betrayed his fellow mutants. And in fact, this division is what made the X-Men books after*Avengers vs X-Men*so compelling. Fighting against the Avengers to defend fellow X-Man Hope as the Phoenix loomed, Cyclops became possessed himself and led the Phoenix Five.

Possessed by the Phoenix, Cyclops killed Professor Xavier and led many attacks against human and mutant alike. Afterward, he adopted a more revolutionary attitude, leading a rebellious team of X-Men and coming into conflict with other superheroes and his former friend Wolverine on more than one occasion. Cyclops was briefly viewed as a martyr, believed to have been killed by Black Bolt in*Death of X*before it was revealed he had succumbed to M-Pox days before.


enjoy Cyclops fans :*

Strom was and still a wallpaper, not a leader.

ugh, again? having said that, i voted cyclops and i really don't think it will be very close

Strom was and still a wallpaper, not a leader.

this is actually pretty true. she hasn't been relevant to the X-books in 20 years

[ExodusCloak]

Extraordinary X-Men kind of cemented Storms descent. Was the perfect example of what a leader should not be.

Pointless thread.

[Namor'sWrath]

Cyclops did more against the Inhuman cultists in a flashback than Storm did the entire time.

If you want a semi-serious answer, the one who didn't think of gathering about as many mutants as they could in a Hell dimension as a sanctuary. Seriously, no matter how much time passes, that will always be a retarded plot point.

Taking potshots at both of them;

Storm was a way better leader of the X-Men than she was a leader of the Morlocks.

Cyclops was a way better leader of the X-Men than he was a husband or father.

The behind the keys of the message board sass is off the charts in this thread. All the condescending names... honey, boo boo, sweetie, darling... it's a little poke the bear for no reason, no?

This form of belittling is sadly near-constant.

Scott is a great father, just ask Cable he turned out fine

hunny don't get it twisted. stop with playing the victim. storm has been trolled over and over again. you don't see storm fans baiting other characters. however, when a post by cbr is made questioning Cyclops ability to lead and be a hero is created and a discussion thread is made to discuss CBRs blog his fans want to get all in their feels. so to me it's quite sad that when a genuine thread is made people want to cry foul when it's geared toward the character they like. (some) Cyclops fan will go on and on talking about how bad storm is at this and that but as soon as a legitimate one is created (which the source being cbr) his fan want to cry foul. that's an egregious double standard and it's misleading to say it is storm fans are constantly denigrating Cyclops because it's the opposite that is true.

Well, your thread about how Cyclops is a dissapointment is old than this, so you started it.
