In the climactic 11th issue , the altruistic professor sought to help Cyclops escape his cosmic power trip. Still in bad guy mode, Scott declined, forcing Xavier to lay the psychic smack-down on him. Unfortunately, even an omega-level mutant like Professor X is no match for the intergalactic might of the Phoenix. Hoping to stop his former pupil, Xavier tells Cyclops, " That is enough ," to which Scott replies, "It is," before killing the X-Men icon.
Murder victim. At least Cyclops actually mourned for Professor X for a moment Once again, we're going to a place where Scott Summers looks like a total jerk, but it's not entirely his fault.
As you've probably guessed, the X-Men universe is no Star Trek utopia. Digging into the root problem, Jean discovers all the future's woes come down to Scott Summers being a wuss and stepping away from his heroic actions after her "death. For example, Cyclops turned down Emma Frost's request to restart the Xavier Institute and has basically given up on everything.
So Jean decides to put aside their personal issues for the good of the past, present, and future, and sends a psychic ripple through time, urging Scott to move on with his life. Not only does he embrace his dead-resurrected-dead we give up on that one wife's suggestion, but he celebrates his newfound lease on life by making out with Emma over Jean's grave.
Couldn't it have at least waited until you got back to the Institute, guys? Of course, their union is at Jean's psychic behest. So either she's a touch on the kinky side, or Cyclops is just a creep.
We're guessing the latter. Throughout their extensive Marvel history, the Skrulls usually wind up on the villainous side of things. In later years, they've become a bit grayer in the morality area, but for the most part, these green-skinned aliens are pretty bad news.
For example, there was that one time where they played superhero dress-up and tried to take over Earth. In the " Secret Invasion " storyline, the Skrulls hatch an Invasion of the Body Snatchers -esque plot, posing as Earth's mightiest heroes in a bid to colonize the planet.
In one of the spin-offs, Secret Invasion: X-Men 4, the X-Men are confronted with the potential deaths of thousands at the hands of the invasion force. So Cyclops comes up with a drastic plan Rejecting Beast's sage counsel, he intentionally infects a number of the Skrulls with the devastating Legacy virus , giving them two options: surrender or die an agonizing death within two days.
Sure, the Skrulls were up to some pretty nasty business themselves, but infecting their entire force with a virus? What if, like viruses often do, the Legacy mutated? Couldn't it potentially kill billions and not just the invaders? Apparently, Scott Summers has no regard for the Geneva Conventions.
Scott Summers's long history in the Marvel Universe makes him one of those characters that writers love to mess with. Undoubtedly, his oft-bland characterization and his Luke Skywalker-style whining painted a big target on his back. In any case, Cyclops underwent a not-so-subtle shift from reliable, old Scott to a quarrelsome crank mostly after Wolverine joined the team to a straight-up Magneto wannabe.
Most readers agree that everything changed after 's X-Men 97 , when he merged with everyone's favorite Ivan Ooze-lookalike , Apocalypse. Not long after that, he cheated on Jean Grey with Emma Frost, turned the X-Force into his own personal hit squad, and signed up with the Phoenix Force. It was only when the waters began to get a little murky for Cyclops that he became of any sort of interest to readers both die-hard and casual.
But by then, the perception of the character had already been long established. Chatterer of stuff, writer of this, host of that, Wrexham AFC fan.

X-Men storyline, the two sides battled for Hope, with the Avengers wanting to take her into protective custody and the X-Men believing she might save them all if she takes on the Phoenix Force. What ended up happening the Phoenix took on members of the X-Men and Cyclops was the last man standing after he murdered Professor X and then surrendered to take his place at the mutant martyr.
It was a move that made him a villain, and he did it just to reignite the mutants cause against humanity. There are a lot of people who represent what the X-Men are about.
Wolverine is someone many count as a favorite , but he isn't about the X-Men first and foremost anymore, as he took the Avengers side in the way against them.
Storm is not around as much, and while Kitty Pryde is the heart of the team, she is not its face. When thinking of the X-Men, Cyclops is the face that leads the way. Shawn S.
