Death of X really made me hate the Inhumans. Also Cyclops was right.

BreakingPhobia103 Yeah, i told some other guy who said cyclops was right that I couldn’t lift my framing hammer anymore

[@jasonbarnes6898]

Facts cyclops was right. The whole reason they did death of x was because since marvel didn't own the movie rights at the time they wanted to kill the x-men franchise and replace them with the inhumans but then they realize people stop buying marvel comic books when they did that

I always just use what comic Drake said and what young cyclops from champions said. It's a beam from another dimension that he uses thanks to his eye portals, they don't create heat but they use Force like a punch.

I love how Cyclops and Wolverine became the new Magneto and Xavier... former friends who have the same goals but can no longer see eye to eye after one of them was radicalized.

[@Blitzo2876]

Eye to eye. Good one!

[@arcanewarrior863]

The ironic thing is at the beginning Cyclops was more on Xavier's side, and Wolverine was slightly more on Magneto's. Cyclops believed a lot in mutants playing by society's rules, being quite military like in character, while Wolverine believed mutants shouldn't be held by norms and constraints. However, after house of m, Cyclops had to be a leader and protect his people no matter what, while Wolverine, having been a weapon, didn't want mutants to become a militarised fighting force under any circumstance. Therefore they grew apart in schism.

[@PhoenixEnforcer101]

Cyclops was never a bad guy like magneto. Magneto aimed nukes at the planet. Cyclops just stopped rolling over and taking it no lube like Xavier

[@jbabylucus1641]

That's a colorful image there lol

[@DJWALK]

exactly thats why Cyclops from 2004-2014 was my favorite iteration of his character he just wanted to protect his people without commiting genocide like Magneto wanted to basically he learned his lessons through the years of watch Magneto and Xavier and tried to do better then Bendis ruined him in Avengers vs X-Men

Cyclops was ready to risk all of earth in general and hope in particular to the phoenix force because he hoped it would revive the mutant population. Thats worse than nukes. He knew better than anyone that dark phoenix couldnt be controlled and had the ability to destroy planets.

Sara Cohle I like the guy to especially in the 90s X-Men cartoon series he was always very protective of Jean Grey

[@CyclopsWasRight]

I loved his character development. I especially enjoyed his role in AvX. CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT!

[@klammyvagikarp7578]

After rereading both New X Men and Astonishing, I actually feel Wheddon's Cyclops was the better written in hindsight. For sure it was built upon the foundations Morrison set to build upon the character though.

[@saracohle]

Terrill Bobbitt - I love his 90s costume design that’s for sure lol He and Jean in that cartoon always annoyed me. 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[@saracohle]

Khrisna Lunandi - That’s fair. But Morrison did a lot of work so other writers could run with it. Whedon and Remender especially. That era from All-New X-Men to Uncanny X-Force is my fav X-Men. Although, I’m AMPED at what Hickman is setting up.

[@waynetech10]

SHOULD. Scott is the Officer in Charge, and one of the finest leaders, in fiction. Sadly, a lot of jilted writers didn't understand that.

[@Aureilius2112]

He’s pretty much been the most central character of the X-Men in the comics so the MCU should reflect that.

[@robertmiddleton6112]

Two of my favorite Cyclops moments. 1. Right after the twelve and after Cyclops was separated from Apocalypse, Wolverine and Cyclops went on a stealth mission to Genosha. Wolverine asked Cyke if he was doing ok while they were in the sewers he seemed a little tense. Cyke said he was fine. Then Wolvy called out two guys around the corner. Cyke ricocheted his beams off 3 walls and took out both dudes with one shot. Come to find out they were both heavy hitters, Blob and Random. Wolvy was like suuure you seem fine to me.

[@robertmiddleton6112]

2. During civil war Iceman, Angel, Beast and Scott broke out of the mansion that was being guarded by sentinels for their "protection". They went to go save a bunch of mutants that didnt register and were inside an adamantium prison. It was like a 5 foot thick adamantium bay door. Cyke opened up his visor like never before a 40 ft wide beem shot from his eyes. Beast begged him to stop the entire time in fear he would kill himself but he kept pushing. He pumched a home in the door. After he made it through he directed his eyes to the sky...he couldnt turn it off. His optic blast just kept going and even getting bigger. There was nothing any of the X-Men could do Scott was already unconscious. Then luckily he heard a voice. Its ok Mr.Summers you saved us you can rest now. It was one of the mutants he saved a little morlock boy named leech. Leeches mutatiin turned his skin green and allow him to turn off other mutants abilities.

[@okro1425]

I loved how they turned Cyclops into a more villain type character, it made him such a different character and I loved it.

Cyclops proves to be formidable in thinking, feeling, and relating. He is part of the X-Men team and is part of the big picture which Professor Xavier has created. He uses sound judgment, shows humility, and demonstrates righteousness. He is reliable and responsible. -Gus Guerra MS

Cyclops is my favorite Marvel character. I like that you made a entire video dedicated to him, but like you said it's so much to cover for a character that has been around since the 1960's. I wish you could maybe do another video on him and his family, since the series after hox/pox is gonna focus on him and his family and his wife's boyfriend lol. Kinda bummed that you didn't talk about the orphanage thing with Mr. Sinister or the Starjammers adventures with his dad.

[@Steppin2theAM]

Love the character explained! It’s like a living encyclopedia. So much deeper than most due to the inclusion of what’s simultaneously going on with the company, editors, writers, etc. On Cyclops, I’ve always seen him as Captain America for Mutants. Instead of a shield he had his accurate eye beams and he was just as strategic. I really dig the harder core direction...because it was about time. To me, Cyclops is the successor of both Magneto and Prof. It was just a matter of direction. Interesting enough, with both those leaders being somewhat renditions of MLK and Malcolm X, the very real question for the post civil rights era was, who are the successors? And what has mainly come about were a lot of commercialized freedom fighters seeking personal glory, a loss of direction, and so much more... not to get political, the point was that for me, Cyclops just adds a dimension to that answer in comic form... and I enjoy him as the answer so much better.

[@-ucanthandledatruth01-12]

Was a pleasure to read your comment my good brother. I see Cyclops as being way more than Cap America. The main reason being what he was designed for and because of, the answer to both is us....black people. Stan Lee said he created the X-men based off of his observations of how white society were treating (and still do) black society during the civil-rights era, due to us having a gene they don't have and our identity. But said he doesn't like to talk about it as the white psyche is fragile (which to me means unstable), and could've caused him a loss. Remember a particular group of people psychologically, emotionally and verbally attack using the word "ni99a" (9=g) like the non-mutants use "mutie!" against the amazing people we are fascinated by (like in real life......they know this too, otherwise cultural appropriation wouldn't be a key feature in their social structure and operation of oppression and racial operation. Scott Summers....this is a man who can absorb and even thrives on sunlight, now think about Stan Lee studying black people, Stan Lee must know about melanin, he gave us a whole franchise based upon his view of social science and a population of a mostly empty, hollow, docile, narcissistic gene-recessive population abusing a race with a mysterious gene. White people are more suited for the cold and have greater difficulty processing and thriving on sunlight. This is a result from a quick Google search but there are plenty videos on youtube and books, lectures, seminars or speeches I could direct you to, brother: What percentage of Africans get skin cancer? Image result for skin cancer in africa Black people are far less likely to develop melanoma than non-Hispanic White people (at a rate of 1 per 100,000 compared to 30 per 100,000) due to the protection that melanin, the body's natural skin pigment, provides from damaging ultraviolet rays.Jul 21, 2022 Another thing is, we know him being depicted as white was for the narcissism and fragility of white society (we would need to assess and discuss matters of psychology and psychiatry for me to elaborate upon this), so in essence he represents a black person. All the mutants are a collective representation of black society in regards to power dynamics (manufactured vs natural power), the weaker group using their minds for malevolence and to oppress mutants who don't believe in themselves and lack guidance and are traumatised by non-mutants' activities against them, most mutants are lost, hiding, trying to blend in and dominated by non-mutants.....white society often react to the damage to their ego by exercising (guess what traits?) narcissism, delusion and denial, even dismissing Stan Lee's own reason for creating X-men, alongside him being an activist and social commentor/critic. They have often strongly said Stan Lee based the X-men on the Jews using their own minds to concoct something to massage their egos as a race of people with a mutual identity and image. Or they say the mutants were based on the struggles on homosexuals.....Brother, like you said, Xavier and Magneto were based upon Great MLK and magnificent Malcolm X, NOT any rabbi or gay community, those things are NOT genetic and not what Stan Lee said as to why and how he made X-men. Cyclops to me is the best but I appreciate them all. I like Cyclops because he is a great leader, has so much discipline and control, has compassion and empathy, is honest, is strategic and intelligent, good dress sense and on Marvel Vs Capcom two...YOU CAN NOT TELL ME Cyclops wasn't one of the best fighting game character to ever be presented. He was great in X-men TAS episodes and his attacks against Mr.Sinister are admirable. I even like his telepathic connection with Jean-Grey. Any way my good brother, you seem very insightful and mentioned successors of MLK and Malcolm X, I would like to discuss things further with you if possible?

Cyclops willingly risks his life knowing he doesn't have any healing power, that if he dies, he dies so mutants can live, both the good and bad. If he trains under Batman, Cyclops would be a complete fighter, they'd be a perfect crossover match up. Both are quiet introverts and a hell of a serious and tactical leaders.

[@Hav2bmor]

They still split over ideologies tho. That was the how premise of schism. And an awesome throw down between the two

[@CyclopsWasRight]

@@Hav2bmor It was an amazing story. I've gotta reread a few runs.

You didn't mention is secondary power of always being right

[@ZMasterRob]

Hey Rob, love your vids and channel it's pretty awesome. If you start doing more of the character explained series, would you consider doing a video on Loki? I personally would love that you 😅😅

[@AsmodeusMictian]

Thanks for the vid!

[@qontoh2s872]

I have to disagree with you on the comics industry bust of the mid 90's. It wasn't caused by the fans over buying. Marvel and DC got into all the limited editions, multiple covers for special issues. Gold foil, silver foil editions... Everything became an "instant" collectable. The fans simply got tired of it. I know, I was one of them.

[@BlackLotus30]

Finally someone said it, it Irked me that he said the collapse was because of comic book fan when it was the speculation market and the people who wanted their comic book issue to be the next action comic # 1

[@Lank55]

@@BlackLotus30 -- right. As people who grew up in the 60s and 70s got older and regretted not saving that Fantastic Four #1 or whatever-- and also as middle-aged men with money-- they loved the idea of getting some cool #1 issue of some dumb comic, or some gimmicky issue with the foil cover, or bagged, or whatever, and imagine that it would soon be worth thousands. I am going through my collection now and can see that I spent a LOT of money just on X-Force #1 and Spider-Man #1. Why? I don't know. But at some point-- even with cool art (like Todd McFarlane's) or somehow thought-to-be-cool-but-not art (like Rob Liefeld's), the stories were so dumb that it all became uninteresting. I quit collecting in the early 90's and even now all I buy are just old Silver-, Bronze- and Iron-Age comics.

[@BlackLotus30]

@@Lank55 To be fair the foil covers especially the holo foil covers were cool, I still have my gold foil lettering of Cable # 1 somewhere. I didn't buy them because I thought they would get me money down the line, I just bought then because I found them cool. :)

[@TSEDLE333]

Cyclops has always been Marvel's punching bag...and thanks to Fox shitting on him for the sake of Wolverine (a character that I learned to hate because of its fanboys...)in the movies and Marvel itself outright doing their best to screw with him during AvsX, a LOT of people not only don't understand him but outright despise him... it's their loss. He is the best Xman. The very soul of the team.

[@coltkillergaming5685]

I personally like gambit cable beast and wolverine (cuz I like dofp the wolverine and Logan ) and a couple more then cyclops cuz I didn’t really know much about him til like a couple years ago

[@DavidJones-en1ex]

Good video. Thanks for the Cyke focus. I did see quite a few factual errors. We all need editors. 👍🏾

[@Subzizzle]

I love these longer videos man

[@melnibonean2550]

Amazing as always, do a ghost rider explained video

[@mattyburns1398]

Cyclops is the best! Thanks for clearing up some of his history! (But why is it never stated that being bonded with Apocalypse, the most tyrannical mutant of all time, maybe contributed to his more "jerky" decisions? )

[@KanFalco]

Glad I got popcorn to go wit this.

[@IAmWBeard]

Great vid Rob. Luv your stuff. Keep it up. Can you do a vid on Sauron n the savage land?

[@PhoenixEnforcer101]

So when I stop asking for this you put it out. I see how it is rob

The GREATEST X-Man in X-istence !

[@dakotaroot_8816]

Officially requesting Emma Frost explained and Mystique explained! These are two of my favorite characters, but i never know what comics feature them most heavily so i never quite know which ones to read. Thanks Rob, youre awesome man!!!! 😊

[@rgprichporter]

great video Rob.

[@movieblocks9164]

Can you make a video explaining the cyclops vs storm comic? And the whole debacle with how that was retconned

[@Vectone]

Love cyclops he is probably my fav x-men I hope they treat him right in the MCU

[@nhk403]

My favorite MvC2 EVO moment.

[@omegahtv6779]

wow...........this was a great video Rob.👍

[@panther196321]

I thought Rob explained Cyclops already.

[@1MarkKeller]

yerp

[@INFERNO95]

panther196321 He updated it.

[@liam6157]

Since his eyes are portals to another dimension, what if someone like dormammu conquered that dimension? What if that dimension were destroyed? Would his optic blasts just stop working?

[@user-iy7jo7bq4f]

@Jack Trippin777 You can destroy a dimension by punching too hard. Ask Odin...

[@user-iy7jo7bq4f]

@Jack Trippin777 He can destroy an entire universe by just fighting too hard. Basically this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIiVlGaVhd6KabM

[@darkslim]

I love Cyclops, and I'm one of the fans who actually really loved Marvel NOW's Cyclops and his "Cyclops Was Right" ways. He had a point about SHIELD and the Avengers never really looking out for mutants except when it benefitted their interests. He was taking drastic measures to do what he thought was best for his people and I liked the team he had (Emma, Magik, etc.) to get the mission done.

[@UnifiedEntity]

And yet nothing changed for Mutants. Despite "being right", despite "learning from Xavier and Magneto" nothing changed. That whole era with him with Emma was THE worst, I also saw him no different from Wolverine at that point.

[@OrphanCrippler1]

Finally. Getting back to what made this channel good

[@TheStrategist314]

Can you cover the Storm vs Cyclops comic?

[@wilfredofigueroa7970]

Might as well have called this the history of the X-Men explained. that's what it sounds like, because Cyclops is the X-Men

[@krisj827]

Finally Cyclops is getting some love.

[@drnocka-rocksteady]

Cyclops is my favorite x man. I would love to see him and cap go head to head.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Yay cyclops one of my favorite x-men characters

[@cliftonhatchett1724]

Yes!!!! More X-Men. Cyclops has gotten trashed for the last fifteen years.
