Can he see color?

I don't know if this has been asked before but in case it hasn't, could he see any other colour other than just red? I mean, could he only see like through a red visor?

When he's not blasting, yes, otherwise it's like looking through a wave of red.

He has relayed seeing everything in shades of red.

Also, I think once or twice, some smartish (or smart ass depending if you care about consistency more than science) writers have relayed Cyclops seeing though shades of yellow/gold.

Yeah, it's just like holding red cellophane over your eyes.

I think he see's everything in red. Though when he had his powers shut down that one time he could see normally.

I think also, Stan Lee in early, early books, explained he could see most colors, just somewhat distortedly.

If we had to decide, I'd recommend going with the yellow. (from Cyle's perspective, but red visually for us, from his lulz)

In Astonishing X-Men #14 he states that everything he sees is tinged with red.

Just so I don't seem like I am trolling lol

If a normal person looked though a red filter, we would see red. Clops already does, Morrison and Carey's science >> Most other writers.

@SC: Huh, interesting. Thank you for that :)

Where's that from, if I may ask?

Yeah sure thing boss.

Morrison's run, New X-Men #131.

Its the cover with Emma getting out of the limbo. Probably my favorite Emma cover.

@SC: Huh, I really have to get around to reading that again. It's been too damn long. Thanks ^_^

How long was Morrisons run?

About 50 glorious and redefining issues. Though I should mention the art wasn't consistent. The art from above issue, wasn't for many more issues.

I'm sort of neutral on Morrison, but some pretty good issues. Roughly X-Men #114 to #156.... sometimes referred to as New X-Men, currently that book goes by Legacy.

@FadeToBlackBolt: I mean relatively. I mean I like him quite a lot, but say... not as much as you for example lol which really shows how devoted and appreciative you are really? At least I am not like those deluded people who dislike him and think he ruined the franchise 0_0

I guess my point is, if even I, who tends to be critical of writers like Morrison likes his work, its a good book to pick up and demonstrates how good a writer he is. *smile*

And to think...I always used to wonder what he does when he approaches traffic lights...:)

@AngelDust616: Ah, thankyou.:) I've been saving that one for quite some time.

Yes.

#21 Posted by Hizang (28 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

I suppose he does see colours, but often he is looking through red sunglasses or his red visor that he always see's red.

Not that i know.............

#23 Posted by Dragoness1993 (265 posts) - 1 year, 9 months ago - Show Bio

He only sees red through his visor, so if he takes it off, he can see in colour

#24 Posted by ReddKnave (42 posts) - 11 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

To be perfectly redundant, the definitive answer is Yes. You are correct. He does see color, the red is only because of his visor/glasses.

#25 Edited by Twentyfive (2160 posts) - 11 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

He can see any color, just as long as that color is red.

#26 Edited by Blood1991 (8098 posts) - 11 months, 18 days ago - Show Bio

He can see color when he is depowered, but because his optic blast are constantly firing he can only see red. I'm sure Emma could allow him to see color or the illusion of color for awhile.

I remember when he was losing control of his powers again he remarked Emma's eyes were "red". He sees in red due to his powers always being on.

And he mentions he had clarity for awhile which I took just being able to see normally for awhile.

@god_spawn: I love those scans! But I thought I'd ask, are you sure he wasn't talking about her eyes being red as in they look irritated (she looks tired or sleep deprived)? That's sort of what I was thinking there and she turned it into a joke because well his eyes are obviously glowing red.

#30 Posted by htb106 (1641 posts) - 11 months, 17 days ago - Show Bio

I'd say he can only see red.

Maybe if he winked all the time...

@Soulstealer: At first before I actually uploaded the scans, I haven't read the issue in awhile. I took it as he was losing clarity but slowly so whatever he was looking at could have had a tint of red to it at least in the center of his field of vision. Your point can also be valid.

Well it has been forever seen I've read it too, I just brought it up because that was my interpretation when I read it before and I remember thinking that it was a nice bit of relationship dynamic slipped into the moment.

@Soulstealer: Agreed on that part.
