He sent X, a young teenager at the time, to kill people, knowing how her past tormented her. This led to Wolverine and Cyclops in a fearsome brawl, and it ended with the two men leading their own X-Men, with Cyclops still sending in children to kill.
There is something to be said about a leader who is willing to do anything he asks someone else to do. Cyclops is that kind of leader. He will charge headstrong into battle. He will take on any enemy, no matter how big or how strong. He will make the tough decision, and while some might think he makes bad choices for his teammates, he is willing to follow them into the depths of hell to save mutant-kind.
Cyclops is a fearless leader and doesn't deserve hatred. During the Avengers V. X-Men storyline, the two sides battled for Hope, with the Avengers wanting to take her into protective custody and the X-Men believing she might save them all if she takes on the Phoenix Force.
What ended up happening the Phoenix took on members of the X-Men and Cyclops was the last man standing after he murdered Professor X and then surrendered to take his place at the mutant martyr. It was a move that made him a villain, and he did it just to reignite the mutants cause against humanity. There are a lot of people who represent what the X-Men are about. Wolverine is someone many count as a favorite , but he isn't about the X-Men first and foremost anymore, as he took the Avengers side in the way against them.
Storm is not around as much, and while Kitty Pryde is the heart of the team, she is not its face. When thinking of the X-Men, Cyclops is the face that leads the way. Shawn S.

On top of this, it seems Marvel did not know if they wanted Quicksilver to actually be a bad guy like his father Magneto or a good guy. He played both parts throughout and was a lesser villain in the cartoon series X-Men Evolution in the early s. Most people saw the character as annoying for most of his time and a poor man's version of Flash, who could do soooo much more with his powers than Quicksilver even attempted.
It angered people to see Marvel basically ignore the abilities of a speedster. The real issue is that he could never be trusted to stay on the side of good or bad. He has stayed loyal only to his twin sister, Scarlet Witch. He may love her strongly, almost too strong as they were once an actual couple in a comic called The Ultimates.
Part of the X-Treme X-Men series, Lifeguard had the ability to gain whatever powers needed in a life-threatening situation While that may be all well and good, without a notable power to use unless she's around, her use is fairly limited. She seems to lack control over what her powers do in these random bad situations and that is never a good thing. It actually resulted in her getting trapped in a gold inherent Shi'ar genome body.
She now has the gold skin mentioned, wings, and claws. She cannot transform or reverse the process and is still unable to control her power. The character did not land well with readers, and possibly the worst part of the entire thing is that she cannot even use her powers to protect herself!
So to get things straight, we have a hero who cannot be a hero without a pressured situation and she cannot even protect herself but only others. In theory, the character Marrow is downright awesome. She can grow bones out of her skin and manage to use them to create weapons like knives that she can use to throw or to swing around and protect herself.
These bones also give her relatively useful body armor. In practice, Marrow turned out to be quite lame and looked absolutely terrible. She would essentially become a terrorist before eventually joining the X-Men. Useful as her powers might seem, her powers were rarely useful in helping the X-Men and the look of the character never seemed to settle well as a super-heroine. Marrow has since been tough to rely on as her allegiances have shifted frequently.
She was eventually de-powered and now may be more useless as a hero than ever. The character had potential, which is most likely the reason many people do think the character could come back in a better version. This may surprise you, but Skin's powers revolve around his skin. Take a minute and sit down so you can take that in. He was capable of stretching and even expanding his skin.
Interestingly, it has been pointed out that only his epidermis is manipulated by his powers. Apparently when you have too much skin, you turn grey. Or at least that is kind of Skin's thing. He also has an appearance that some consider to be " skin melting. Of course, this gave him a migraine so he had to stop doing it. He looks terrible and is a gross and lame version of Mr.
The X-Men never truly needed a character like this. We have people who shoot beams out of their eyes, control the weather, control minds, can steal powers, and even teleport.
We then have a man with extra skin that is apparently making him grey that he can somewhat manipulate?
The character has been seen as one of the lamest X-Men of all time and his stay on the team was relatively short-lived compared to others on the list. She is known for her senses and speed, and particularly her ability to know the classification of each mutant. Obviously these were done to know the power level of each.
Her senses, while valuable were not enough to make her stand out. She was the leader of the Morlocks for a period of time, and cared for mutants, but similar to Magneto, she did not have a thing for humans.
Callisto's senses were useful, but she lost them in the House of M storyline. She got them back temporarily through the Terrigen Mist, normally used for the Inhumans. Sadly her returned super senses were far too strong, and rendered her effectively useless.
Her speed is nothing compared to Quicksilver's, so even with the movie role, the character is still disliked by most comic book fans. Oh and let's not forget the crazy tentacle arms. Seriously, these were a thing. The brother of Lifeguard, Slipstream goes down as being just as unlikable, but is at least more useful than his sibling. Slipstream has the ability to generate warp waves to teleport; similar to Nightcrawler, except he can go without having to actually see where he is going.
He can normally only teleport himself, but with concentration can sometimes teleport others, which makes his teleport skills less impressive than the aforementioned Nightcrawler. Eventually he is able to teleport across inter-galactic dimensions, which makes him a bit cooler. So Nightcrawler's able to do the exact same job; and any use of Slipstream over the beloved Kurt Wagner is a crime. He also traveled with a small metal surfboard. What are we trying to do with the guy, make him the Silver Surfer?
Come on, you're ripping off something directly from your own universe! If this was not enough, Slipstream also ends up working for slavers. They tried to explain this away by claiming he was controlled by Cassandra Nova, but it seems like they did not have plans to do this originally. This just made things odd. Fans did not care for Slipstream, to say the least. When you're part of a comic called literally X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever , you know you're not quite up there with the best of all time.
Known as X-Ceptional, Bailey Hoskins was your typical hormonal teenage boy, until he learns he has an amazing ability. As Cyclops and Magneto left to find another new mutant, they were confronted by a younger Cyclops and younger versions of the other five original X-Men. While confronting the five young X-Men, the young Jean Grey lost control of her powers and tossed Cyclops away with her telekinesis.
This caused Cyclops to lose his visor and he began firing optic blasts wildly, leading the young X-Men to believe that he was attacking them. Magneto disposed of them and ordered Magik to transport him and Cyclops back to headquarters. Cyclops later freed Emma and recruited more young mutants to his team.
Later, the team was accidentally transported to Limbo by Magik due to her broken powers. After facing Dormammu, the team was able to escape but Goldballs left due to not being able to handle being an X-Man.
After this, the team added David Bond to their ranks and gave him the code-name Hijack. Soon after, Fabio rejoined the team. Later on, his team of X-Men encountered a team of X-Men from the future who told them they were here to prevent a disaster from happening because of the past X-Men being in the present time. After some investigating and meeting another team calling themselves the X-Men, it was revealed that the first former team were actually the future Brotherhood.
During this time, the Stepford Cuckoos and the past Angel joined Cyclops's team. In the end, Scott's team and Wolverine's team defeated the future Brotherhood and the real future X-Men went back to their own time.
After a mission Magneto left the team to do things on his own terms. After this, Hijack was kicked off the team after almost putting them in danger. The team did rescue him and he, along with Dazzler rejoined them.
After Scarlet Witch and Dr. Doom cast an inversion spell during a fight against the Red Onslaught , the moral compass of the heroes and villains present during the battle were inverted. The inverted X-Men planned on using a gene bomb to kill everyone on the Earth who wasn't a mutant.
During the fight, a reinversion spell was cast by Doctor Doom and the Scarlet Witch, with the help of the inverted Red Skull, turning almost everybody back to normal. The X-Men were reached out by S. The X-Men teleported to the island, and initially engaged the Utopians. After talking it out and discovering the Utopians wanted nothing but to be safe and undisturbed, the X-Men offered them a place at the New Charles Xavier School , which they gladly accepted.
After the discovery of the Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier, [34] it was revealed Charles had left all of his possessions to Scott. Cyclops' Visor ; formerly Magneto's Helmet.
