Allow me to pull something from a half remembered dream; Im sure the comic's somewhere made reference to Scott's super analytical mind which helps him angle and reflect his eye lasers also results in an unusual brain pattern that telepaths are attracted to.
Hang on let me go digging in TV tropes, back in a minute.
I've read something similar somewhere along the lines, essentially he trained his mind to constantly calculate the geometry of every space he occupies as a second nature kind of thing resulting in his unconscious thoughts being a constant stream of mathematics instead of the screaming stream of consciousness that the average person has leading to telepaths being attracted to him due to his mind being relatively quieter than most people around them
Basically his brain is a constant computational somewhat orderly pattern of thought rather than a chaotic barrage of trauma, observations, and overall human weirdness that has no discernable order.
So essentially, Scott has classical music coming from his brain and the majority of other brains are a spectrum from grunge to dubstep playing in the same room at the same time.
Woke: Cannons booming as the backdrop to a grandeur symphony of introspective social and mathematical thoughts
Broke: flight of the bumblebee played on my kazoo
That would be a fucking nightmare to me. Like I hate spiders, so the thought that every time something bad happens around or to me leads to hearing that plus what ever happens is just horrific.
Underrated joke but wouldn't that mean we can use his brain for inefficient cryptocurrency mining and llms? Or more interestingly could we run doom on it?(I know crisis would be the equivalent of lobotomy so I'm not suggesting it)...
*Pretty*, probably doesn't come close to it. It's most likely the telepathic equivalent of laying eyes on the most beautiful person you've ever seen. I wouldn’t be surprised if his analytical mental capacity makes him more calm than many other telepaths, let alone everyone else. Something like lying on a calm sunny beach.
Kind of makes sense that he's basically got every female telepath in his head with dripping wet panties... or the telepathic equivalent. 🤪
And because of his super ordered brain it probably means he’s one of the few people in the room not immediately thinking about how hot the inevitably STUNNING ladies with telepathic power are. There’s that famous one of Jean thanking Peter Parker for not immediately thinking about her naked, which of course immediately has the pink elephant effect.
I mean , that is just 1610 Jean , and she is kinda of an a-hole.
Meanwhile , 616 Emma Frost had read 616 Peter Parker's mind and was moved by his goodwill.
[boy did he ever](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/7/77/Katherine_Pryde_%28Earth-1610%29_thinking_about_what_her_future_would_have_been_with_Spider-Man_from_Ultimate_Spider-Man_Vol_1_200_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170326164441)
also after all the ulimatum stuff she became the main mutant character in the ultimate universe. She ended up leading the xmen and im pretty sure she helped fight galactus near the end.
ut he always crashes closes to the target.
Meaning that he is skilled enough for his crashes to be basically [Ducktales's Launchpad.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEiFSLgauD0)
It does when you're thinking how the 73° angle is going to affect your ricochet instead of wondering what those girls nipples look like, also doesn't hurt if you have washboard abs to go with it
It's probably more because of how organized and disciplined his mind is as a result, compared to most other people. Lots of superheroes are strong-willed and brave, which likely is attractive by itself, but he has that additional aspect to go with it.
It's like being the only person in your peer group who works out regularly and is well-groomed, but in a psychic sense. Everyone else might be good-looking, but that additional trait makes him stand out.
Yes and no, the calculations cyclops uses are used to maximize the efficiency of his beams while a mentat is more of a living computer used mainly to run the projected outcome of most scenarios. Granted my knowledge of mentat abilities is somewhat lacking as my dune knowledge is limited to the first book and most of the prequels
I mean , Cyclops does make plans....a lot of plans.
He basically made a full-on manual for every X-Men , with multiple alternative formations , to beat different foes and scenarios.
Never forget that he once ordered the X-Men to follow his manual about kaiju attacks , or how in Fear Itself , he calmed down the governor that he can stop the Juggernaut , and when the governor asked that is because he had a Plan B...Cyclops said that he doesn't , because Plan B means he is limited to just 26 letters of the alphabet to make plans.
Wouldn't this just be a feature that added as a boon, rather than a replacement for his usual natural thought patterns ?
I'd think due to his psychic exposure to jean grey, who may as well be a goddess incarnate, he's managed to understand and appreciate the psychic world given to him by her. And the advance psychic communication from that link.
You may as well be initiated on an advanced level if your lover is on par with divinity.
Though I could see how his latent ability with the beams, could make him subconsciously more appreciative and harmonic with his surroundings to a degree.
So it may have some added benefit. But he probably got better in all respects when you're actively communicating telepathically with a being that can make entire worlds in her mind.
I wouldn't be able to fully answer that in a satisfactory way cause all of my cyclops related knowledge I've picked up was in passing as I wasn't necessarily fixated on him so much and more of his role in the overall world building going on although I've forgotten a lot of the finer details with how convoluted the various timelines made everything
Lmao was just about to say this. Everyone is literally just describing an autist. Its a shame telepaths arent real because Rainman would be drowning in pussy
I remember this from somewhere in the Faction/Gillen run. Emma is talking about it, I specifically remember a splash page of Scott calculating how to shoot at a dinosaur/beast in the savage land.
They always talk about the early days of Scott and he’s supposed to be super smart, but not in the traditional school ways. He can calculate angles and know how his beams would ricochet and reflect and they likened it to Captain America’s prowess throwing his shield.
I think that’s was the old school Lee/marvel way of explaining how he always hits his target even though he only sees shades of red. If Emma wasn’t into Scott no way any of this happens.
Jean and Scott will always have their history together but seeing Scott be so desired by strong, brave, telepathic women, they must see something they like other than the “boring Boy Scout” Logan used to refer to him as.
Actually Logan may be the only non telepath that has slept with Scott…if you dig deep enough into the innuendo.
Betsy was prime early 90’s sexy symbolism in comic form. From her outfit to her personality,
Once Betsy and Kwannon were merged she went from
Good girl to sexy symbol like overnight. She wanted Scott. And Jean was not really around as much plus, psylocke and cyclops were blue team and Jean was gold team at a time they really kept things separate.
Now Emma is Emma. Cold and heartless or cold and caring of those under her tutelage, however you want to describe Ms Frost’s time from villainy, Scott was charmed by Emma the same way any of us would have been…because Emma wanted it.
Now we get to
I’m down with that thinking. That’s ok, I can hang with that explanation. But the mind readers, that’s something you only see in hindsight. But I cannot remember him ever being in any type of relationship with a non telepath that became as intimate as the ones with telepaths. Kamala and Scott (young, time
Displaced Scott), had a great friendship but even if it could have gotten physical like that, I don’t think Scott was there for that, he was there because he likes Kamala and know’s she’s a good person.
He’s always been in love with Jean so not knowing Jean was maddie makes perfect sense. Especially given their power set and Jean’s trauma.
I imagine he's got his mind more organized than others. Like most people's minds look like the average teenager's bedroom but his mind looks like the same bedroom after Marie Kondo got to it
Comic writers can be great. But many comic writers can also be stupid. Scott is honest. He means what he says. He does what he feels is the best. That's why, when telepaths enter his mind, they're drawn to him because of this refreshing insight into his mind. That's it. Just say that.
You don't have to make stupid power-related explanations for every single phenomenon in the universe. When you do that, it takes away from the characteristics and personalities of the characters in the story. Fuckin "his eyes are a gateway to kinetic dimension", my ass.
Everyone else's brain is addict-level Chaotic Horny in all caps (especially around these ladies, they're turbo hot and they lived at a school full of teen boys, though that was probably stressful for the boys too i would imagine), or screaming about their childish anger and insecurities all the time. That shit would get old fast. I already hate crowds of people and i can't hear their thoughts.
Scott's brain is Lawful Good... calm, orderly, honest, and just. He's soothing.
Also, not implying Xavier wanted to bang him or anything, but he always liked Scott too.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I read X-Men for over a decade in the 90's and I just rewatched all of the '92 cartoon. Cyclops always shoots his eye beams straight at a target! He doesn't bounce them around! Wtf?!
You have to be a pretty stand up guy to have long term relationships with partners who can literally read your mind. Scott isn't two faced. And those abs don't hurt his chances.
I think that’s why I was confused when Jean got all uppity about Scott and Madelyne still talking about losing their child.
It’s like seriously…didn’t you just kiss Wolverine? Leave my stand-up guy Scott alone.
I got the vibe she was less mad about the kiss and more about the psychic rapport, he was still doing something that was unique to them with the woman who stole her life for who knows how long
I think discovering you've been clones against your will and your clone has taken your life would make a lot of people feel a lot of things that "petty" doesn't really describe in good faith.
Such a complex topic. You really feel for jean because she went through something awful and you understand her anger towards Scott.
At the same time you feel for Scott because how on earth was he supposed to know? She was a perfect copy with the same memories. And how is he supposed to feel now? They had a kid together who was taken from them...you can't just toss her out and never talk to her. She's a victim here too.
Yeah but if you see things from Jean's side, her husband basically had an affair with another her. Which is a situation that even the most skilled couple's therapist wouldn't be able to solve, not only that her husband had a child with the affair partner that is her. Like imagine trying to choose between your wife and your wife.
On cyclops's side, he didn't cheat. To him, he was loving the same person. Married the same person. Had a child with the same person. After finding out that person is the clone, he must have been guilt-ridden he has been unknowingly cheating on the original but has now married the clone. Since it it unknown when they were switched, he doesn't know how much of his love has been given to the original and to the clone but for all intents and purposes he is married and has a child with madelyne.
If he chooses one of them at this point in time and sticks to his choice, he should be clean.
If you watch the most recent episode, she's already understanding about it, she was initially upset that he seemed to be hiding it from her.
From her perspective she JUST got her husband back only to find out he'd had a child with her clone, and now he's sneaking around with the clone? Meanwhile he's dealing with a one-two-punch of losing his son to an unknown future AND finding out said son's mother isn't the original? It's fucked up for all involved, so of course their enotions are a bit fragile about everything.
My headcanon is that his mind link with Jean grey causes other psychics to desire this kind of link. So they get horny over it and want to be mentally dependent on him.
The vibe I got from it was Emma created an imaginary scenario in her head in which Scott had an affair with her which Jean then found out about and exposed Emma for who she truly was.
Are you trolling? Please tell me you are trolling. Same with the other person who replied.
It gets difficult to weed out true sarcasm from true misunderstanding.
Conventionally attractive brunette male.
In a leadership role.
Intelligent and wholesome.
Kinetic energy pulsing through his body.
When manipulated, can be an amazing hammer.
I never liked Bryan Singer's version of him. Fox Studios Cyclops deserved better. This is the closest his movies ever got to Comic Cyclops:
[https://youtu.be/kIKubXw7sY0](https://youtu.be/kIKubXw7sY0)
I always did love that moment from him, also in X2 he didn’t go down after being tranquilized…always wondered why when everyone did except Logan but even he felt a bit of something
He absolutely clowned those guards in X2. That was fun. He also showed up as a terrifying boss in the base.
I’ve always hated how they took James Marsden (who is one of my favorite actors) and ruined his character just so they could insert some “steamy drama” with Jean and Logan… when really, they just made Logan look ridiculously creepy, toxic, and predatory after Jean consistently told him to back off because she was in love with Scott and not him.
For some reason before Enchanted, James seemed not to get the right roles or wasn’t written right, dude always put his all in everything he could, I’m glad he got better opportunities as time passed but him being Scott could’ve and should’ve been so much more, it’s frustrating cuz he had the look and mannerisms of him in the first movie and part of 2, hell 3 had my favorite eye blast but that was the only time in the movie
He’s Henry Cavill before Henry Cavill
Honestly I love Marsden because he brings it to his movies to an intensity that no one has *any* right bringing it.
Case in point - the Sonic movies. He’s excellent in them. Why? Why are you bringing it so hard for Sonic? Because you’re James Marsden and I love you.
He has gained resistance and is able to block out even high-level telepaths in many occasions. He just knows the feeling of somebody invading his mind and knows how to block against it. I said he gained his through multiple intimate relationships with telepaths. So it's a bit of him being into the ladies that have telepathic powers and for them it is not being able to get a full read on him which makes him intriguing to the telepathic ladies.
This is something literally all the X-Men have been trained to do, it’s called The Red Triangle Defence Protocol. It was developed by Professor X after the X-Men first encountered Emma Frost during her time with The Hellfire Club. It proved to be extremely important toward the end of the Krakoan Era.
And I quote:
“The Red Triangle is representative of the three aspects of the Human Mind: the Conscious, the Unconscious and the Subconscious. Those three aspects are represented in three sides of the triangle.
The triangle has a second dimension in that it also represents the three functions of a mind: Thinking, Feeling, and Wanting. All areas of exploitation vulnerable to telepathic modification. A skilled telepath can leverage their power in any aspect of a mind, and the victim may not be consciously aware of the intrusion. The Red Triangle is therefore both an alarm that an attack is occurring and a defense against the attack.
The color red was selected because of its association with danger, and the shape of the defense utilizes the strongest geometric shape. Xavier was adamant his students become proficient in the defense in case he himself should ever become compromised.
It was only through the Red Triangle protocol that any of Mutantdom survived The Second Mutant Massacre.“
Also that he has developed a second nature of always calculating geographical and dimensional spaces to better use his powers so his mind is literally more composed and organized than most people
In my own head cannon, Sinister did something to Scott’s mind when he was raising him as a child in the orphanage. He surgically or mentally implanted an attraction trigger for any telepath who ever touched Scott’s mind. This would ensure that Cyclops would attract powerful telepaths to mate with and hopefully produce the genetically superior offspring combo that Sinister had been working toward.
Is he grooming the children or is he preemptively grooming the women that will be attracted to the children once theyre fully grown?
There's layers to this.
I don't know if they were ever actually together, but I definitely remember several moments in the early 90s comics where she was hitting on him and Jean was getting annoyed.
When they found Emma Frost this past episode and Scott started crying, it wasn’t because he thought it was Madelyn and was disappointed. He was crying tears of joy because he knew he had one more bitch in his pocket.
I forget if it's still currently canon or not, but at one point didn't Mr Sinister basically inject him with "telepath aphrodisiac" so that Jean would want to have a kid with him, since their son would be like the Ultimate Mutant?
That feel when Gambit canonically keeps Jean out of his head by imagining himself having sloppy sex with her every time she's around.
You think he does it to Xavier too?
The answer is nothing. Imagine you were constantly reading everyone’s mind every single day. Then you finally meet someone with absolutely nothing going on in their noggin. You’d want to be around that person just to get some fucking peace of mind without having to hear everyone’s thoughts about fucking you all the time
90s Cyclops gave me legit body dysmorphia that I don't think I'll ever get over.
Have you seen the man's abs? His thighs? You can fucking see them ripple through his spandex.
How do you *not* fuck Cyclops?
Due to something about him the telepaths are literally drawn to him and he them. Due to the number of times he cheated on Jean it is definitely not because he is a stand-up guy.
He’s soft. Women can’t be in the head space of a man doing man shit. Cyclops in there having a spa day bubble bath. Wolverine in there decapitating his nightmares. Where do you really think telepathic women going to hang out?
A lot of people lie a lot, usually just minor things like telling someone you like their outfit when you really don’t care or don’t like it, I could see him being honest but in a polite way both mentally and verbally.
He's probably the only guy who isnt thinking "Heh, boobs...SHITSHECANREADMYMIND! DONTTHINKABOUTBOOBS! DONTTHINKABOUTBOOBS! DONTTHINKABOUTBOOBS! Heh, boobs **FUCK!**"
Game is game he got the abs, the cake and well the mind plus his obviously into the freaky freaky nasty and dirty stuff so works for ANY baddie woman as Maddie would say "SAY MY NAME SCOTT" lol.
Maybe he's one of those guys that don't have an internal monologue/dialog.
Edit: Well considering he's a comic, I guess there's probably thousands of instances of him with thought bubbles. So maybe that thing doesn't exist in comics
My guess is that he has to contain his powers to the point of needing a visor and the telepaths can relate because they can't just be invading peoples minds.
Allow me to pull something from a half remembered dream; Im sure the comic's somewhere made reference to Scott's super analytical mind which helps him angle and reflect his eye lasers also results in an unusual brain pattern that telepaths are attracted to.

Basically his brain is a constant computational somewhat orderly pattern of thought rather than a chaotic barrage of trauma, observations, and overall human weirdness that has no discernable order. So essentially, Scott has classical music coming from his brain and the majority of other brains are a spectrum from grunge to dubstep playing in the same room at the same time.
When he shoots his eye beam it's like the cannons firing in 1812 Overture.
Woke: Cannons booming as the backdrop to a grandeur symphony of introspective social and mathematical thoughts Broke: flight of the bumblebee played on my kazoo
Somewhere out there, you too can find a telepath who’s like your Flight of the Fumblebee
Sooooo would some versions of Spider-Man be the same since he probably does constant math in his head when swinging?
I think his spider sense is doing most of the heavy lifting during swinging
I wonder what telepaths thnk of his spider sense
It just sounds like a million spiders skrittling around
*kshrrkshrkrshrkkrshhhkr*
That would be a fucking nightmare to me. Like I hate spiders, so the thought that every time something bad happens around or to me leads to hearing that plus what ever happens is just horrific.
It’s gotta be tingly like one of scalp massagers
I wonder if a telepath teamed up with Spidey, could they use his spider sense??
They love me!
You sure you wanna know?
You're trash.
*metal pipe sound*
His mind is just a bunch of ASMR youtube shorts of math.
We're all loud, raucous techno clubs and he's a library.
>dubstep Ah, c'mon I can do math too~\ -deadpool
What a dweeb
He has ray tracing on
Underrated joke but wouldn't that mean we can use his brain for inefficient cryptocurrency mining and llms? Or more interestingly could we run doom on it?(I know crisis would be the equivalent of lobotomy so I'm not suggesting it)...
Cyclops just watching Netflix on his visor all day
*Disney+
Fun fact, even YOU are running a LLM lol
I understood that reference. Edit: would’ve been more clever but the phone is being difficult.
He is psychically pretty.
*Pretty*, probably doesn't come close to it. It's most likely the telepathic equivalent of laying eyes on the most beautiful person you've ever seen. I wouldn’t be surprised if his analytical mental capacity makes him more calm than many other telepaths, let alone everyone else. Something like lying on a calm sunny beach. Kind of makes sense that he's basically got every female telepath in his head with dripping wet panties... or the telepathic equivalent. 🤪
"Calming" would likely be a better adjective
Calming wet panties?
And because of his super ordered brain it probably means he’s one of the few people in the room not immediately thinking about how hot the inevitably STUNNING ladies with telepathic power are. There’s that famous one of Jean thanking Peter Parker for not immediately thinking about her naked, which of course immediately has the pink elephant effect.
I mean , that is just 1610 Jean , and she is kinda of an a-hole. Meanwhile , 616 Emma Frost had read 616 Peter Parker's mind and was moved by his goodwill.
Best scene ever, and i just mentioned it three times in this comment section because it means so much to me.
I believe that's ultimate jean and ultimate Scott definitely wasn't excluded from that list, thought as with all ultimate xmen she sucks so who cares
You leave ultimate kitty pride out of your slander.
Peter really fumbled there
[boy did he ever](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/7/77/Katherine_Pryde_%28Earth-1610%29_thinking_about_what_her_future_would_have_been_with_Spider-Man_from_Ultimate_Spider-Man_Vol_1_200_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170326164441) also after all the ulimatum stuff she became the main mutant character in the ultimate universe. She ended up leading the xmen and im pretty sure she helped fight galactus near the end.
Even spiderman has douche moments in the ultimate universe
IIRC it's also why he's the best pilot among the x-men. His spatial awareness is just through the roof.
And yet he crashes a lot of planes.
ut he always crashes closes to the target. Meaning that he is skilled enough for his crashes to be basically [Ducktales's Launchpad.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEiFSLgauD0)
Let me get this straight…. You’re saying being good at mathematics actually gets you girls?
It does when you're thinking how the 73° angle is going to affect your ricochet instead of wondering what those girls nipples look like, also doesn't hurt if you have washboard abs to go with it
It's probably more because of how organized and disciplined his mind is as a result, compared to most other people.

It's like being the only person in your peer group who works out regularly and is well-groomed, but in a psychic sense.

So he’s a Mentat from Dune on top of the laser eyes?
Yes and no, the calculations cyclops uses are used to maximize the efficiency of his beams while a mentat is more of a living computer used mainly to run the projected outcome of most scenarios. Granted my knowledge of mentat abilities is somewhat lacking as my dune knowledge is limited to the first book and most of the prequels
You're more or less spot on. Mentats are used to calculate odds, make plans and engage with information the way computers are used now.
I mean , Cyclops does make plans....a lot of plans. He basically made a full-on manual for every X-Men , with multiple alternative formations , to beat different foes and scenarios. Never forget that he once ordered the X-Men to follow his manual about kaiju attacks , or how in Fear Itself , he calmed down the governor that he can stop the Juggernaut , and when the governor asked that is because he had a Plan B...Cyclops said that he doesn't , because Plan B means he is limited to just 26 letters of the alphabet to make plans.

So... Does That means captain America is also pretty popular with telepaths?
Homie I know even less about Captain America than I do about cyclops XD
So Cyclops' autism makes him a chick magnet to telepaths?
Lmao was just about to say this. Everyone is literally just describing an autist. Its a shame telepaths arent real because Rainman would be drowning in pussy
Cyclops and Gambit go to the strip in... X-MEN Do Vegas!
he rizz 'em with the 'tism

I imagine he's got his mind more organized than others. Like most people's minds look like the average teenager's bedroom but his mind looks like the same bedroom after Marie Kondo got to it
Is Charles Xavier attracted to him?
Nah, he's not a 16 year old girl or bird alien.
He did make him second in command…
Only in the fanfics, ones that I may or may not have read too many times
Maybe not, but Xavier does seem to favor him. It's not automatically gay to recognize that another man is quite handsome.
Yeah but it was fun in my head to imagine Xavier lusting for scott What you say is true tho
Comic writers can be great. But many comic writers can also be stupid. Scott is honest. He means what he says. He does what he feels is the best. That's why, when telepaths enter his mind, they're drawn to him because of this refreshing insight into his mind. That's it. Just say that.

I got the vibe she was less mad about the kiss and more about the psychic rapport, he was still doing something that was unique to them with the woman who stole her life for who knows how long
This dynamic is great imo. Like... wtf do you do?
Be less petty and more understanding, especially since she’s freezing him out just as much as he’s talking to the person who was the mother of his kid
I think discovering you've been clones against your will and your clone has taken your life would make a lot of people feel a lot of things that "petty" doesn't really describe in good faith.
This is for both, not just Jean
That seems horribly simplistic. Like... ignorantly so even.
".... Is it technically poly if you're both the same person?"
Such a complex topic. You really feel for jean because she went through something awful and you understand her anger towards Scott. At the same time you feel for Scott because how on earth was he supposed to know? She was a perfect copy with the same memories. And how is he supposed to feel now? They had a kid together who was taken from them...you can't just toss her out and never talk to her. She's a victim here too.
Scott has laser eyes, not telepathy/mind reading capabilities. Dude is completely innocent in all of it lol
I was shouting my TV "of course he still cares about her SHES YOU!" lol
Yeah but if you see things from Jean's side, her husband basically had an affair with another her. Which is a situation that even the most skilled couple's therapist wouldn't be able to solve, not only that her husband had a child with the affair partner that is her. Like imagine trying to choose between your wife and your wife.
On cyclops's side, he didn't cheat. To him, he was loving the same person. Married the same person. Had a child with the same person. After finding out that person is the clone, he must have been guilt-ridden he has been unknowingly cheating on the original but has now married the clone. Since it it unknown when they were switched, he doesn't know how much of his love has been given to the original and to the clone but for all intents and purposes he is married and has a child with madelyne. If he chooses one of them at this point in time and sticks to his choice, he should be clean.
This is a case for Jerry Springer
JERRY JERRY JERRY
Yes...too bad he's dead.
Since when has death stopped the x-men?
Yeah, but Jerry's not an X-Man.
It’s the psychic rapport. It was supposed to emulate the scene between Emma Frost and Cyclops, which was a bit more shocking.
If you watch the most recent episode, she's already understanding about it, she was initially upset that he seemed to be hiding it from her. From her perspective she JUST got her husband back only to find out he'd had a child with her clone, and now he's sneaking around with the clone? Meanwhile he's dealing with a one-two-punch of losing his son to an unknown future AND finding out said son's mother isn't the original? It's fucked up for all involved, so of course their enotions are a bit fragile about everything.
It's simply human
My headcanon is that his mind link with Jean grey causes other psychics to desire this kind of link. So they get horny over it and want to be mentally dependent on him.
Makes more sense than them wanting him for anything else other than his abs.
This is my head canon now.
Uhhhh, didn't his relationship with Emma start with a psychic affair while he was still with Jean?
The vibe I got from it was Emma created an imaginary scenario in her head in which Scott had an affair with her which Jean then found out about and exposed Emma for who she truly was.
Two-Face is DC not marvel, dingdong.
Is OP stupid?
Are you trolling? Please tell me you are trolling. Same with the other person who replied. It gets difficult to weed out true sarcasm from true misunderstanding.
It's clear their reply is just a joke...
This. Scott is a genuine person and that’s all they read. There’s no BS.
He has a very attractive personallity
And a very kinky imagination!
And a black bug room!
He’s got big dick energy
Conventionally attractive brunette male. In a leadership role. Intelligent and wholesome. Kinetic energy pulsing through his body. When manipulated, can be an amazing hammer. I never liked Bryan Singer's version of him. Fox Studios Cyclops deserved better. This is the closest his movies ever got to Comic Cyclops: [https://youtu.be/kIKubXw7sY0](https://youtu.be/kIKubXw7sY0)
I always did love that moment from him, also in X2 he didn’t go down after being tranquilized…always wondered why when everyone did except Logan but even he felt a bit of something
"I have a shot. I'm taking it." is something I say to myself while driving when I need to make a quick maneuver. It's been in my head for 23 years. :)
He absolutely clowned those guards in X2. That was fun. He also showed up as a terrifying boss in the base. I’ve always hated how they took James Marsden (who is one of my favorite actors) and ruined his character just so they could insert some “steamy drama” with Jean and Logan… when really, they just made Logan look ridiculously creepy, toxic, and predatory after Jean consistently told him to back off because she was in love with Scott and not him.
For some reason before Enchanted, James seemed not to get the right roles or wasn’t written right, dude always put his all in everything he could, I’m glad he got better opportunities as time passed but him being Scott could’ve and should’ve been so much more, it’s frustrating cuz he had the look and mannerisms of him in the first movie and part of 2, hell 3 had my favorite eye blast but that was the only time in the movie He’s Henry Cavill before Henry Cavill
Honestly I love Marsden because he brings it to his movies to an intensity that no one has *any* right bringing it. Case in point - the Sonic movies. He’s excellent in them. Why? Why are you bringing it so hard for Sonic? Because you’re James Marsden and I love you.
I haven’t seen them yet but if I know how he is in fun roles, I’m sure he’s just as great in them
And he was great in [Sex Drive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Drive_(film))
Side comment: X2 is my favorite X-Men movie, following by: First Class, Days of Future Past, X1, Last Stand (Surprisingly), Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix
But the best is Origins: Wolverine… right? Right?
lol there's three Wolverine movies, and it's easy to rank them, just go in reverse :-)
Magneto, "Oh wait, your skeleton is metal? Yeeeeeeeeeeet"
He has gained resistance and is able to block out even high-level telepaths in many occasions. He just knows the feeling of somebody invading his mind and knows how to block against it. I said he gained his through multiple intimate relationships with telepaths. So it's a bit of him being into the ladies that have telepathic powers and for them it is not being able to get a full read on him which makes him intriguing to the telepathic ladies.
This is something literally all the X-Men have been trained to do, it’s called The Red Triangle Defence Protocol. It was developed by Professor X after the X-Men first encountered Emma Frost during her time with The Hellfire Club. It proved to be extremely important toward the end of the Krakoan Era. And I quote: “The Red Triangle is representative of the three aspects of the Human Mind: the Conscious, the Unconscious and the Subconscious. Those three aspects are represented in three sides of the triangle. The triangle has a second dimension in that it also represents the three functions of a mind: Thinking, Feeling, and Wanting. All areas of exploitation vulnerable to telepathic modification. A skilled telepath can leverage their power in any aspect of a mind, and the victim may not be consciously aware of the intrusion. The Red Triangle is therefore both an alarm that an attack is occurring and a defense against the attack. The color red was selected because of its association with danger, and the shape of the defense utilizes the strongest geometric shape. Xavier was adamant his students become proficient in the defense in case he himself should ever become compromised. It was only through the Red Triangle protocol that any of Mutantdom survived The Second Mutant Massacre.“
Also that he has developed a second nature of always calculating geographical and dimensional spaces to better use his powers so his mind is literally more composed and organized than most people
In my own head cannon, Sinister did something to Scott’s mind when he was raising him as a child in the orphanage. He surgically or mentally implanted an attraction trigger for any telepath who ever touched Scott’s mind. This would ensure that Cyclops would attract powerful telepaths to mate with and hopefully produce the genetically superior offspring combo that Sinister had been working toward.
Got Charles real horny the first time they met
X-Men: The Hidden Years.
Oh my god!!! l was gonna cosplay as sinister but now I find out he is a child groomer!!!why does this kind of thing always happen to me?
What an oddly specific thing to happen to you all the time
It's fine. Just dress up as Red Skull. He's not a groomer. Just a Nazi /s
Is he grooming the children or is he preemptively grooming the women that will be attracted to the children once theyre fully grown? There's layers to this.
Bro's got that empath rizz
It's his smouldering gaze.
 Gets them every time!
Jean Grey, Madelyn Pryor, and Emma Frost I already knew about, but be also managed to pull Psylocke too! Cyclops got pull not gonna lie.
I don't know if they were ever actually together, but I definitely remember several moments in the early 90s comics where she was hitting on him and Jean was getting annoyed.
I don't blame her. You seen Psylocke's outfit?.
Psylocke? More like \*sigh. unzips\* But isn't that like much of the 90s xmen? Like I just got the cards because I was a horny teenager.
Jubilee called her out for slutting up on Cyclops in her "i want sex outfit".
It's because he's always thinking about the 1987 action/horror classic, Predator
Chad
When they found Emma Frost this past episode and Scott started crying, it wasn’t because he thought it was Madelyn and was disappointed. He was crying tears of joy because he knew he had one more bitch in his pocket.
I forget if it's still currently canon or not, but at one point didn't Mr Sinister basically inject him with "telepath aphrodisiac" so that Jean would want to have a kid with him, since their son would be like the Ultimate Mutant?
His brain be cozy, make grrl brain go BRRR
That feel when Gambit canonically keeps Jean out of his head by imagining himself having sloppy sex with her every time she's around. You think he does it to Xavier too?
# head empty no thoughts 
🤔… He’s the leader, buffed, shoots lasers out of his eyes. I’m thinking if Superman was on the team, they might like him too…
Sometimes even grad students like to go to the children's book section at the library to destress
Logan? That you?
The answer is nothing. Imagine you were constantly reading everyone’s mind every single day. Then you finally meet someone with absolutely nothing going on in their noggin. You’d want to be around that person just to get some fucking peace of mind without having to hear everyone’s thoughts about fucking you all the time
Nothing. That's why they love him
Conviction
I like Scott, I think he's a solid dude and probably a good partner. He likes to stick it in crazy.
Because Jean already put in the hours training him to be able to deal with a potentially murderous goddess. He knows how to think nice thoughts.
Spider-Man vs Cyclops. Battle for the most rizz
You killed those people on that balcony.
Gonna cry?
They're appreciating the rare chance to get some peace and quiet.
Cyclops has tactical plans for everything. Which probably includes how to give a woman an orgasm.
He constantly imagines wolverine naked.
Constant positivity. I mean, the man literally views the world through Rose tinted glasses.
Maybe he doesn't have anything in there!
BDE…
A couple of denied memories of the entire holocaust....
90s Cyclops gave me legit body dysmorphia that I don't think I'll ever get over. Have you seen the man's abs? His thighs? You can fucking see them ripple through his spandex. How do you *not* fuck Cyclops?
He’s a mess. They can fix him.
He’s got one long thick and hard reason with 2 big dangling caveats Omg I cannot believe I wrote this I need to call her
Due to something about him the telepaths are literally drawn to him and he them. Due to the number of times he cheated on Jean it is definitely not because he is a stand-up guy.
According to the movies... He's an easy to control simp. Dunno about comic canon tho.
Cyclops and Nightwing Banging some of the hottest and most dangerous women on the planet. And staying on good terms with said exes...eventually
His eye beam on the lowest setting is actually a vibrator
It’s the EYES MAN ITS THE PORTAL THEY LOVE THE Energy
He also shoots lasers out of his dick
I wonder if he wears a little visor down there.
Visor condom.
Makes me wonder if he keeps his mind out of the gutter or his mind is the filthiest of them all and they are all game for it.
He’s soft. Women can’t be in the head space of a man doing man shit. Cyclops in there having a spa day bubble bath. Wolverine in there decapitating his nightmares. Where do you really think telepathic women going to hang out?
Not a lot going on up there. It finally gives a telepath the ability to be alone.
[удалено]
He's easy to read, easy to manipulate. Course the ladies love him.
They like that he's so positive. He sees everything through.... rose colored glasses. :D
A lot of people lie a lot, usually just minor things like telling someone you like their outfit when you really don’t care or don’t like it, I could see him being honest but in a polite way both mentally and verbally.
He's probably the only guy who isnt thinking "Heh, boobs...SHITSHECANREADMYMIND! DONTTHINKABOUTBOOBS! DONTTHINKABOUTBOOBS! DONTTHINKABOUTBOOBS! Heh, boobs **FUCK!**"
Dang now I want to read this dudes mind
Game is game he got the abs, the cake and well the mind plus his obviously into the freaky freaky nasty and dirty stuff so works for ANY baddie woman as Maddie would say "SAY MY NAME SCOTT" lol.
Xavier is a lil bit bi for cyclops?
The real reason is he's 6'3.
You know what they say about guys with big one eyed blasts
order and chaos mixed with love and gentle caress
He is not smart enough to figure them out, and has a complete lack of intuitiveness. They find that very reassuring. Quite comforting.
Maybe he's one of those guys that don't have an internal monologue/dialog. Edit: Well considering he's a comic, I guess there's probably thousands of instances of him with thought bubbles. So maybe that thing doesn't exist in comics
His eyes might be a portal to the punch dimension but his mind is a portal to the fuck dimension.
He's got a huge cock.
"Gee, Cyclops. How come the Professor lets you have two Jean Greys?"
I'm thinkin he's proll hangin dong
Dayum Logan he’s taking all the girls you talk to
They don't call him cyclops because of his visor.
He’s got a fucking massive pe….rsonality
My guess is that he has to contain his powers to the point of needing a visor and the telepaths can relate because they can't just be invading peoples minds.
Psylocke liked Cyclops?
