no amount of simple power upgrade could make cyclops cool, he needs to be completely rewritten. It doesn't necessarily have to be a power upgrade. Any significant alteration to the character would be nice. Would you like him better if something caused him to become a tyrannical mutant supremacist like the Fear Itself promo hints at?

I am with Crom on this one, Cyclops is a probably the worst character on the X-men. He had a chance to become something more but instead he pissed it away trying to act like Xavier. Xavier is either highly incompetent as a leader or an evil mastermind so any attempt to emulate him is in itself stupid. Cyclops was at his most impressive when he had Apocalypse in his head.

None of this is accurate. He has not tried to act like Xavier since X-Factor volume 1. Guess how long ago that was. History has also shown time and again that Xavier is far from incompetent as well as evil.

Cyke has done almost everything that Xavier would have done. When he fakes his death, it will be complete. Sure he seems more trustworthy on the outside because of his lack of telepathic powers but wait isn't he boning an Omega Level Telepath?
Xavier has a chance to achieve his dream but his high level of either stupidity or evil kept him from it. Let's go all the way to the First Class, what does he do? He dresses them all in the same stuff and has them combat trained which is exactly like most crazy cults and militias behave he may have well been the KKK or the Black Panthers. Had he decked out his people like the Invaders or Avengers and sent them out to fight evil everyone would have assumed that they were the good guys. After building up enough fame and recognition for the group, they reveal that they are mutants and bam mutant crisis averted. He concealed when he should have been marketing. This is why he is incompetent and good or evil and competent. That is just one example.

@dedman
Walk through a mall and let me know how many store workers are dressed the same as one another.
Thanks.

Go to your local McDonalds and see how many employees are dressed as Ronald McDonald. Now also take a look at how many pieces of marketing in that McDonalds feature said employees.
There is a difference between employees and the brand. Do you expect to see the King in every Burger King? Wendy in every Wendies? Heidi Klum in every Victoria Secret? etc. You can dress all the support staff at the school the same but the X-men all need distinctive outfits to make them appear more like rockstars than military.
Also, none of those stores operate in secret in the middle of nowhere.

Cyclops and Ronald McDonald are not similar. You had a problem with the X-Men dressing the same, most groups or organizations have their members dress the same.
I have no idea where the middle of nowhere thing comes in. The X-Men operated out of upstate New York and later San Francisco. Why would there be a McDonalds in the middle of nowhere? they wouldn't sell any burgers. That's whack.

Bane,give him some upgraded non addictive venom and some weapons. All new gods,create some stable balance between FC/COUNTDOWN/SEVEN SOLDIERS. Tim drake,the condom head does'nt suit him.
Batman,INC him even more just to annoy the urban legend lovers.

@dedman: I get what you're saying about Xavier setting up the X-Men to look untrustworthy, but what does that have to do with Cyclops? The X-Men have all had individual costumes since LONG before Cyke replaced Xavier.

I like 616 Cyclops as well I think he needs to be depowered though and by depowered I don't mean lose his powers but have them toned down as far as his range and size of his optic blasts.If you're going to let him release energy of that magnitude..it should have a weaker radius.It's too much.
