Yeah , that ' s why he ' s been the center or had a big part in like every important big event of late AvX , Secret Wars , Death of X , IvX etc . gotten the most characterization of just about any Marvel character outside of Tony Stark in the past decade , and is now one of the main characters on Marvel ' s flagship young heroes team . Cyclops was no one ' s favorite character 20 years ago , literally no one ' s , and now any comment section remotely related to mutants , xmen , marvel events , etc is dominated by nerds saying Cyclops did nothing wrong or complaining that he deserves more attention . Cyclops is one of the most interesting Xmen , Marvel characters , and superheroes in general now , and not because Marvel ' s been singing his praises , but because they ' ve put him through this ringer , they ' ve made him make the sort of tough choices straight edge heroes never have to make , or if they do , never have to face the consequences of . Cyclops is the most iconicimportant mutant now . And it ' s all thanks to those meanies at Marvel who supposedly hate him .
