Really, if you think Scott and Jean have been that central all the time you must have been reading a different comic from me. Quote:
When all's said and done, I'm not the huge Scott and Jean fan you are. I liked their wedding and I'm favour of their ship, but as characters they only go so far for me. Scott is something of an old favorite of mine, but I nonetheless don't always find him interesting (particularly not when he's with the original X-Men rather than later team members). I'm positively inclined towards Jean, but I find her a bit bland and underdeveloped as a character. All in all, both characters are most important to me for their connections to Cable and Rachel Summers, who I'm a lot more interested in. __________________

Okay, we're not gonna agree about a few things. Fair enough.

My favorite X-Men are Wolverine, Shadowcat, Magneto (he was an X-Man in the mid-'80s and Age of Apocalypse, plus his clone Joseph was on the team), Storm, Rogue and Rachel Summers. The other major favorite on my list of mutants is Cable. Scott comes after all those, on the same list of minor favorites as Domino, Cannonball and the X-Man (when the X-Man had real power).

Sarah, Rogue is very different in the comics, because for a lot of the time she has superhuman strength, semi-invulnerability and flight, powers she absorbed permanently from other characters.
Shadowcat is a much more developed character in the comics. She's a Jewish computer genius and martial arts expert who hung around with Wolverine in the mid-'80s and then went off to join the British X-team Excalibur with Nightcrawler, Rachel Summers and various British heroes. Excalibur was a rather unusual X-comic for a long time, being kind of whimsical and being high quality in the late '80s when the major X-books were in decline. It and Wolverine's comic were the exception to the decline and they were printed on better paper and were more expensive. Cannonball started started as the co-leader of the New Mutants (the junior X-team), from Kentucky, and grew up into the team leader of X-Force, the youth have-an-attitude X-team led by Cable. Then they put him on the X-Men and made him regress in personality, which pissed me off. Still, he beat the alien powerhouse Gladiator, which nobody else could do. Magneto was briefly involved with Rogue around 1990 and in the Age of Apocalypse alternate timeline they were married with a kid. Later there was a love triangle between Magneto's young clone Joseph, Rogue and Gambit. __________________

Yeah, but this is the Cyclops/Scott Summers thread.

Yes, I know. Just steering the thread back to Cyclops. This is where I love to sing the praises of my favorite X-Man. Wolverine always rubbed me the wrong way, although I do like Hugh's portrayal even if he's too tall. I also like X-23, obviously.

Wolverine's probably Marvel's best character. At least before they mucked him up in the mid-'90s and lost the feel for his distinctive personality. Larry Hama gets a lot of praise for his Woverine work, but I think he ended up totally mucking up the character. I think he forgot who Wolverine was. Got to go back to Claremont for that.
I like Cyclops and relate to him, but I don't have wild enthusiasm for him. I prefer his kids. __________________

I think Claremont did great with Wolverine, but after a while they just ran him into the ground. His obsessive infatuation with Jean Grey became grating after a while, but mostly annoying. Normally a guy who did that stuff would get sued for sexual harassment.
I loved Larry Hama's G.I. Joe comics. They were some of my favorite comics from the 80's. I think Hama was better at writing Snake Eyes and Scarlett, and he may have confused Wolverine with Snake Eyes. They're two totally different characters. __________________
