I know the X-men see a leader, but for all of his grump, Cyclops is still just a man. Which begs this question I once had: Why didn't Cyclops reach out to other X-men and showcased that he can't deal with this and he wants to ask for better solutions.
I mean Cyclops wasn't closed up on his feelings, then maybe the X-men wouldn't have split as they did.
Those that wear the crown of leadership suffers a heavy burden. So that begs the question: WHY didn't Cyclops at least try to explain himself BEFORE and not afterwards.
IN other words: Was there anyway for the X-men not to split if there was from Cyclops and his ways ?
Was there anyway to keep them safe, not lose their family aspect and still remain protectors of humans and mutants ?
