    Since when does cyclops want to destroy humans? I thought he was one of the ones trying to save them from the exterminating mutants

      Remember how long the series has been running? Remember how many different comics that are technically still x-men that have been running on the side? Cyclops has gotten up to some nasty things. I think this one in particular is referring to a time after professor x died, and cyclops got a little touchy.

        Ah, that would make sense. I never followed xmen that closely outside of deadpool Xovers and the cartoon, so I was unaware

          It’s actually really interesting to me how the cartoons are probably the best representations of the xmen. The movies all had their place (and their time… the original was so amazeballs when it came out even if it was hokey), but the cartoons did a great job of encapsulating and cementing people’s vision of the xmen.

          The comics (not just the xmen/prime ones, but all the tie ins) just went crazy over the years in some ways. If you ever want to lose an afternoon and just boggle at your computer screen, go try to trace the Summers’ family tree. The marvel ‘space’ comics are a trip.
