“…and without heels.”

THOSE BASTARDS…

@Alegreto – that’s an outrageously selective interpretation of Cyclops’s character over the last six years. You claim there’s no justification for Utopia yet you even mention the renewed Sentinel program and the Purifiers. There’s also the whole Dark Reign thing too. Everything you said about mutant incompetence is equally applicable, if not more so, to the Avengers of the last five years.

It’s clear you’ve not actually been reading UXM or the major X-events since M-Day. It’s also clear from your horrifically inaccurate understanding of M-Day that you never read House of M or Avengers: Disassembled.

I’m just asking for an update concerning the post-AvX situation of Emma Frost. I’ve seen Cyclops, Magneto, and Namor mentioned here, but what about Frost? (didn’t she instigate the Wakandian invasion?) I try to stay away from the X-books, since reading them seems to leave me stranded in a quagmire of continuity, so could someone give me a sit rep of her current status?

Cyclops was wrong and has been wrong for a long, long time.

He’s been wrong at least since he decided mutants should isolate themselves from the rest of humanity. And probably way before that too. The only thing he’s doing is escalating the conflict and proposing an extreme, fundamentalist view. He’s the main idiot behind preventing mutants from being anything more than mutants. For a while now, he’s been the primary factor in limiting mutants by declaring himself leader and deciding mutants are *define* by their mutantness. It’s bigoted and stupid, like the idea that mutants *must* survive. Why? M-Day wasn’t sentinels or purifiers or avengers murdering mutants, it was mutants fucking things up for mutants. Prominent leaders too, like Magneto and Quicksilver. All under Cyclops watch. And then, based *entirely* on fundamentalist, cult-like belief on a made-up prophecy he mostly invented himself, he *fought Captain America* in order to risk the life of the entire planet, humans and mutants alike, because, in his mind, mutants dying off because of their own incompetence, hubris, and ineptness at handling their own behaviour is inconceivable. Yet, humans… “well, screw them! they’re idiots so if they kill themselves we can’t help it and if they die because *I* did everything in my power to ensure what is most likely planetary genocide then… oh well, humans! am I right?”

Cyclops is good at getting people to follow him, but very bad at leading them.

Thanks for the edit. Your right his first appearance was in Hulk. But his development has been entirely been the X-men and his title.

Yes, Wolverine’s entire existence. Except that he originally didn’t have anything to do with the X-Men.

his entire existence except when he is an avenger

Heck no. Wolverine’s entire existence has always been tied to that team. He’s supposed to be the man who hates everyone excluding the X-men (minus Cyclops at time). The X-men are his family were he should belong.
