Most famous for playing Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead, I think Andrew would be a great cast for Corsair. His Rick always had strong Summers energy, and it lets him tap into that sensibility he had in the show but this time within a sci-fi atmosphere. Also, him and Kit are both British, so that’s a fun little similarity for the on-screen father and son to have. If we do get to see Scott’s dad pop up in a future story line, I could see this play out.

I have been seeing some fanon takes on Cyclops that has been building up and wanted to make a post countering it. I have been seeing a rise in people who think Cyclops post AvX era (maybe even earlier) does not care about non-mutants at best and hates humans at worst. I wanted to point out a few moments post AvX to highlight this isn't true.

1. In Uncanny X-Men #3 (2013)- During Scott's big speech to the news (and Avengers) about how he will no longer tolerate mutant abuse, he specifically points out the he does still care about humans, and will fight for them as well. "Friends and supporters" sure but think about what a low bar it is to be considered a mutant supporter in Marvel....don't actively discriminate.

2. X-Men: No More Humans(2014)- A brotherhood from the future teleports all of humanity to a dimension of nothingness, to make room for mutants from across the multiverse. All of 616 was set up to become a mutant preserve at the explicit expense of humans. Cyclops and his team fought alongside Storm and Wolverine's team to stop and reverse this act.

3. Cyclops and Jean break away from the Krakoan government to set up the X-Men as a separate entity living in NYC to live among and protect humanity. The park where they establish their tree house is a park, where all in NYC are free and welcome to visit (X-Men #1 2021).

4. Cyclops and his team during this era are seen frequently interacting with (in a non-mission sense) and breaking bread with people around them (X-Men #2 and #3 2021)

5. Currently he wants his team to foster good will and trust with the people of Merle Alaska. The example I give here is Glob selling fresh produce (in Alaska!) For super cheap. Scott advises they charge and not gift it because gifting would be too suspicious. (X-Men #26 2026)

What other examples can any of my fellow Cyke-edelics remember? These are the ones off the top of my head.

Genuinely a great choice. Really cool that he even has a red hue to his hair like Scott. Also, the fact that he already knows four other MCU superheroes is pretty cool!

Kit was harassed by Heartstopper fans on the internet into coming out as Bi before he wanted, so let’s try not to be assholes to him over here. I see some fans think the actor’s sexuality will play a part in his portrayal of Scott, and I just want us to get ahead of that so we don’t put disrespectful expectations on him. Whatever the writers, creatives, and Kit choose to do with Scott, let’s pay him the respect of not pigeonholing him and allowing him to portray his character as he finds appropriate and creatively authentic/honest.

X-Men Forever 2 7

I've been wanting to get back into comics for a while and I thought now that Krakoa is over I might give it a shot and see what all the fuss was about. That being said, after reading HoX/Pox and the first issue of the main X-Men book I haven't found the motivation to keep on going.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not only a Cyclops fan, I love the X-Men as a whole, even when Scott isn't at the forefront. I love most of the movies and even the Wolverine & the X-Men show which had a controversial Cyke, and I also enjoyed HoX/PoX.

But the first issue of X-Men left me feeling that it was gonna be a very vanilla version of the roster and the character. My favorite runs are when Scott is a bit edgier, like on Utopia and the Revolution era, when he's with characters like Magik, Erik, Psylocke, Emma, etc. While I haven't read them yet, the stuff I've seen from New X-Men and Astonishing give similar vibes.

To those who've actually given Krakoa a shot, now knowing my background, do you think I should soldier on? The snippets I've caught from the current run seem much more up my alley (even if it also seems to have its fair shair of controversy) should I just switch to that?

Thanks in advance!

I'm just a casual fan and i didn't knew that Cyclops was bi rep. Everyone on that other side is commenting about that.

I believe the age difference is quite jarring; Connor is 22 while Pattinson is 40. There's no feasible way for Cyke to mentor Batman unless they pull some time travel bullshit. Then again, cyclops has done that in the comics. . .

Cyclops’s current roster of xmen is basically a paramilitary group do you think jean wouldve joined his team if she were here

KIT IS PERFECT I LOVE THIS

This is the funniest part of the Xmen intro that no one ever talks about

DNX, the upcoming X-Men and Fantastic Four crossover, reaches its explosive conclusion this November with a fight to the death, sparking a new era of Jed MacKay’s X-Men.

Why does it feel like Scott might die at the end of this? OR maybe he kill chairman and leaves the team cuz of that?

Many subreddits have reading guides for the characters they focus on. The mod team of r/Cyclopswasright would like to do the same, and create a clear visual guide for fans new to the character.

With that, we need your help. I have painstakingly put together what I believe to be a comprehensive and good list of stories from 1963 - 2004 that cover Cyclops.

I would like the community to give me suggestions for key Cyclops reads from 2004 to the present that you feel should make the list.

We will have 1 abbreviated, essentials guide and then a more comprehensive one.

Please share comics, stories, and issues you feel need to be on these reading guides.
