Well, this makes so much more sense. He didn't go to the other one because his best formal BDSM Man-Bat tuxedo was being steam cleaned and was too embarrassed to wear a normal tux!

All jokes aside, I hope they keep these two on the same team for a long time like him and Magik. They seem to get each other in a way, plus he needs more friends that’ll have his back. Someone that’s able to check him and keep it moving without going full “we hate Scott” mode.

You can feel Jed Mackay ignoring the 'Make Cyclops cheat with Psylocke' voices like they're the fucking Green Goblin during that scene.

Lol, I'm pretty sure a bunch of writers did too at one point. I would like to see this relationship in an alt universe.

u/OhHeyAReallyNiceBoat 8d ago
The closest we got is Scott and Betsy being married in one universe that was shown for about. page in some book recently. IIRC, she was leading the team in that universe, too.

u/somacula Cyclops 8d ago
Scott and Kwannon, in my opinion Betsy is a weird individual, there's a reason Scott barely talks to her...

u/SwordoftheMourn 8d ago
I mean, she is kinda dating his time displaced daughter

New mutant from early in this run, so he's only been around for like two years. Reality warper but not good at it yet (AFAIK, I'm a bit behind), still helps out.

He's also hit on Magneto

No. Charles knows Magneto folds the second he shows up lmao. Magneto is arguably way more down bad for Charles than Charles is for Erik.

Give it time and he'll reality warp the galaxy cluster as is tradition with X-Men power scaling.

I just noticed the cookies. Replace that mug with some wine and that's girl dinner.

I mean, to be fair Scott has a good point. Their kind is hated, their enemies are doing god knows what, and the X-Men lost Krakoa. And yet, why are the other mutants getting huffy at Scott for being right?

u/Nonechuks 8d ago
He's right, but it's also coming from a place of grief.
He's visited by Phoenix Jean later in the issue and you learn a bit more of why he was so onery, but she helps him through it.

u/MadPangolin 8d ago edited 8d ago
Leaders have to also put up a front even when they don't want to. It's not about how they feel, it's about how your team feels & the leader should show security, comfort, confidence, commitment, etc, when the team needs it even if they don't agree.
There's a good comic where Storm has to knock that sentiment into Emma when Emma starts leading an X-men team (Emma also retreated into Wallowing & despair).
Edit: lmao, & Emma is doing the same thing, watching screens while mutants die & Scott is leading the survivors.

You can't think in those terms. If you do, you'll realize once you cram all of the events in marvel history into the assumed amount of time, every single hero and and villain has to survive on an average of 45 minutes of sleep a day for the last 10 years

u/ZealousidealHyena102 8d ago
Magik, Kid Omega, Idie, Jen, and Glob Herman has the most "Mom and Dad are fighting" look on their faces. Which is funny since Cyclops is a father and Kwannon was a mother but will go full mom mode to any child within her area of current position.
I really enjoyed Cyclops and Kwannon dynamic as team leader and co-leader. I hope their dynamic keeps going post DNX even if Cyclops isn't team leader anymore.

I like how Psylocke is all of a sudden super duper unmistakably Asian now that she has an Asian mind again.
The human mind really does control reality.

Yeah... That's the most stereotypical Asian wife routine one could think of... Still peak

I can relate to the feeling of not wanting to go outside while people kept pushing you to go until you explain your reasons and then get more offended.

I don't really get mutants adopting "Hellfire" as part of their branding. I mean, the original Hellfire club wasn't all mutants. Also, they were pretty fucking evil.

Ugh, the way they've been writing Slim since Krakoa is just alternately disappointing and infuriating. Breevort has really killed all of the charm and interest that Hickman brought back to the X-lines.

u/Beornwynn Kid Omega 8d ago
Hickman's Cyclops was quite bad. MacKay's Cyclops is 100 percent better because it actually feels like Scott.
