Description
Commission from Cincy Comicon 2013; Pencil.
I've rarely been commissioned for any of this gender-bending business, but I really looked forward to this one when I got it. Cyclops is a character that should always look awesome, but who has struggled to have a really cool design for a long time. I wish I had the time to color this, because I think it would bring the whole thing together into a look that would be pretty sweet.
Of course, 616 Cyclops wouldn't have this much cleavage. OR WOULD HE?

Thank you. I was really happy with how she came out.

I'm a Scott hater, but this version doesn't seem as annoying.

He can't show cleavage, she. I am confused. Is it wrong to think she is cute?
I always found the movie character to have a stick up his ass.. Then again if Wolverine was slobbering all over my girlfriend I'd probably act like that too..
Great picture.

I dunno, Cyke had some of the best lines in the first movie. And a few good ones in the second. I always thought it was criminal how little screen time he got, but then again those were pretty much just Wolverine movies. "Wolverine & Some Dudes!"

Β 616 Cyclops walked around in a red thong on his suit. So probably.

Better design than I've seen from Marvel in years. Β But is she as bitchy as the 616 version?
π: 0 β©: 1
Awww, come on! Cyclops isn't bitchy except when some writer wants to make Wolverine or some other antihero ass look like "the cool guy." Ever since the damnable '90s, Cyclops has been crapped on every so often when bad writers show up.

When I was a kid, Cyke was my favourite of the X-Men. Β The natural-born leader, tactician and moral compass of the team. Β And about the time they split and then fought the Avengers for no real logical reason and he turned into a psycho god-type guy, he became the reason I stopped reading X-Men and Marvel comics entirely. Β I know characters need to grow and evolve, but they completely destroyed him.

I walked away from X-Men when Morrison left. Partly because Morrison's final arc was a total mess, but mostly because the people coming in after (including Joss Whedon, though everybody praises his Astonishing run) were turning the X-Men concept away from all the great things it had been shaping into. I've considered trying to go back from time to time, but there's always something that keeps reminding me why I quit them.

Like the massive, multi-issue crossovers that are only done to push people to buy comics they don't normally read? Β The constantly warping character personalities? Β The "all new direction!" every eight to ten months? Β
I consider Morrison's run the beginning of the end. Β I nearly quit reading then, but I heard he was leaving. Β I absolutely hated his run and really don't get why he's so popular.

There was a lot I liked about the beginning of the Morrison era. I prefer the X-Men when they're less superheroey and more like a community of mutants with a police force. I like to see them in the uniforms instead of the colorful costumes. I liked that Morrison made the school aspect central again, bringing back the idea of the Xavier institute as a refuge for people who have nowhere else to go. He introduced a lot more young characters, and with much harder mutations to live with, and that's something else I appreciated. I also loved that he gave glimmers of moving the Marvel world forward; that the time was coming when Mutants would be a large enough minority that it would no longer be a story about "a world that hates and fears us." Anything that promotes growth and change is good by me.
But there was bad, too. I hated his Cyclops/Jean/Emma triangle, and I still can't stand Scott and Emma as a couple (it makes no goddamn sense). I hated the Xorn plotline and reveal, and didn't care much for Magneto's taking of New York. And, of course, the entire ending arc was an awful mess. Ech. So it was definitely a mixed bag, and I can see why it turns some off, but in so many ways it was exactly the X-Men I wanted to read. It was the last time that whole line of comics came so close for me.

Would he have that much?Β Rule of the two big comic book companies says: "yes, at all times"

I mean a male version of the costume probably wouldn't have a diamond cutout over his pecs. Because if there's one thing mainstream superhero costumes don't have, it's gender parity.
π: 0 β©: 1
This is certainly true.Β Well, if one were to try to do some parity, I suppose the diamond cutout would have to be over the areas that women would more likely appreciate.Β
Cybutt.

Ah, butt-cleavage. When it's the fat plumber guy, nobody's interested - but I think we've all got one or two people who we wouldn't want a crack at.

love the costume, part classic, part jim lee, all awesome!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks. It channels a lot of what are still my favorite X-costumes ever, the X-Factor threads from the end of the classic era when Whilce Portacio was drawing them and just before Havok & Co. took over.

Maybe people will start liking Cyclops now.
π: 0 β©: 1
They should. He's awesome. He's always been awesome, it's just that sometimes crappy writers throw his character under the bus to make Wolverine look like a bigger badass.

Agreeing with you. I suddenly want to see 'Gene Grey' now.

I thought the same thing!

let's hope she doesn't make the same mistake her male counterpart has made

What are you talking about? CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT!
π: 0 β©: 1
you mean going to war with avengers and killing professor Xavier was right
π: 0 β©: 1
The war was Cap's fault. Cyclops warned him what would happen, and everything Cyke warned about came true because of the war Cap started. He wouldn't trust Cyclops, and so created the very thing he was afraid of - just like he did during Civil War. Cyclops was in the right.

still he killed professor xavier

While possessed by Phoenix, who we all know can make people do some sh!tty things. And he never would have BEEN possessed by Phoenix if Captain America had just trusted him in the first place instead of starting the war.
