Wouldn't that be essentially a repeat of the 2010s, though? Marvel, Wolverine, Marvel, Beast, Marvel, Storm, Marvel, Captain America, take your pick, really.
Anyway. Last week's issue of Cable had some of the worst Cyclops dialogue in ages. "Noodling" and "'cause" in the same freakin' issue? This relaunch killing me, lol.
"Best of Cyke since relaunch" because he's mostly been a non-entity?
Anyways.
Just watched the Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul movie and I'm like... hori shito, I just found Mr. Sinister in the antagonist, Bondrewd the Novel. At some while watching, I had this image of VoidClops in the shoes of one of the protagonists as he went blow-for-blow against Bondrewd. Chills, I tell ye! I was shivering even at room temperature!
Oh, Marvel~~ you could be so much better!
Let your wallet talk.
Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

It's a pretty broad description he is reacting to, but if I was to compare Cyclops to actual US military leaders, I'd pick Patton (innovative, but flawed character) and Spruance (who never gets much credit in popular culture despite winning the most pivotal battle in the Pacific - that's right, it was Spruance who was in command at Midway).
Dark does not mean deep.
If you can think of one time in X-Men history during which Cyke used the word 'noodling' as a metaphor for battle plans, I will respectfully take it back.
Not so much a case of non-entity, but rather a case of non-established-personality. He's basically the anti-Cyclops.
I mean, family before duty? Yeah, that totally sounds like Cyclops, lol. Totally.
Its unusual, but not unknown. He was willing to help Cable against Brand during the Revolutionary era, and Brand was his only reliable ally that wasn't already on his team. It goes all the way back to when he stayed with a recuperating Maddie over rushing to aid the rest of the team during the Claremont era - despite Xavier going full abusive father on him over it.
