I think he is total bad ass not a jerk he gets the work done that needs to be done.

depends if you think leaving your wife and kid for your teenage girlfriend counts as a jerk thing to do.

Is there an option for people that think some writers ain't so flash?   Lacking in characterization? Plot plants over characterization sluts? 
 
I can't really view Cyclops as a jerk. I feel sorry for him, nothing is worse than having a writer make your favorite character unlikable to every other fan of other characters LOL I mean hell, Mike Carey is a good X-Men writer, and people still tend to resent Rogue a fair bit, and you don't have other characters blowing smoke up her, oh and Emma, poor Emma, if I think Cyclops is a jerk, I have to concede that she is a bimbo wreck, who constantly fawns over Cyclops, yikes. Anyway, over in Astonishing Cyclops was being an awesome leader, and a nice guy, and well Slim. Not sure who the guy dressed in a blue condom over in Uncanny X-Men has been, people like to tout he is a great leader because he makes hard decisions, but mots of them have been stupid and cost characters lives, and now and its the same guy who had sex in the middle of a mission and killed a bunch of dinosaurs instead of making sure there was enough ice Cream on Utopia. Then again that guy isn't a jerk, just written poorly. 

Cyclops is a great leader even though he has ups and downs but still he's one of the best X-Men.

" @SC: actually he ditched his wife and kid back when good writers were running the X titles  "

Why is no one just like meh with Emma they either love her dearly or hope she dies forever

75% Jerk, 20% Hot Air, 5% Laser Eyes...

" @SC: Okay # uno!  DO NOT, DO NOT! Start in on me about emma!!! My gosh!!! She makes my blood roil every time i hear that snipy god-knows-what accent! (not a big fan of her, if u cant tell!:)) and yes, i do admit some writers have cyclops written better than others. But personally i have never liked him. Yes, he may be a relatively good decision maker, BUT he is still to, i don't  know.... Beast said it well, "BAD DOG, BIG SHOT!" sooooooooooooo... yeah, can see your point, but still think he's a bit of a jerk.  "

Of course the most hardcore mutant comes off as a jerk, to those who cant handle his badassness!!! lol

He's not a jerk, he just finally grew a pair.

Nice, another I hate Cyclops thread...

" @SC: I understand that he did what he thought he had to do but still he was a jerk in that moment whether he intended to be or not but some times good leaders have to be jerks like Patton, total dick but a great general "

You know it's pretty annoying the whole "lol he left his wife and kid and cheated on them"
 
1.) He did leave them after the relationship was long dead, read the actual comic the marriage was over. Whether he left 6 months later or right then, they were going to separate. In fact they were in a huge fight when the phone rang and they found out Jean was alive again.  Madelyn was the one who forced him out and told him not to return.

" Cyclops would tell you he's "duh, winning" "

still a jerk, never liked him never will, and yes he did leave maddy for jean! oh my dead girlfriend is alive so im just gonna leave. and maddy gave him and ultimatum and any wife would he chose to leave instead of working it out like he should have, and when he left then the maruders went after her and the baby so no he didn't look for her, coming back to the apartment doesn't classify as looking for her!! and he's the reason they were arguing all the time in the first place he was a lousy father he didn't even help her most of the time and she gave birth to cable by herself in the mansion nice supporting daddy not.

1.) Actually he did look for her, Sinister had wiped/replaced the people in the town and removed any trace of Maddy or Nathan there.   2.) Actually it wasn't "Oh my dead girlfriend is alive so I'm going to go" They were in the middle of another argument.   3.) People seem to forget that Maddy was created by Sinister to seduce Scott, that's not a good basis for a marriage anyway.  4.) If you actually read the comic she wasn't doing shit to solve the problems, she was just yelling at him.  5.)  He was actually helping around the house, in fact most of the time to avoid arguing with Maddy he'd be working around the House. "

I hope Cyke would stare in the face of these haters and remove his visors.

1) Still not good enough!   2) The only reason they were arguing was because they were supposed to spending the day together and he got phoned by warren with the jean news hence she got pissed that he had to leave again to bail the X-men/ X-factor out again.  3) Originally she didn't know that so you can't pin that on her. 4)good i would yell at him too she's a first time mother, who gave birth to there son on the floor of the mansion, where both she and him could have died, so call it post natal derpession mix with i hate you coz you left me you asshole while i was approching labour.  5) That does not count as helping her with the child, as she was probably suffering from post natal depression she needed help with the kid not building of the house. "

He is a bit of a jerk, but he is a great leader that does what needs to be done.

" @TheCrowbar:  well just have to agree to disagree lol "

Cyclops is the greatest Leader in Comics and the best X-Man character by an unbelievable margin. 
 
That time when he left his wife he was being downplayed so other, worse but more popular characters, could look like saints (cough, Wolverine, cough). The same happened to Hank Pym (cough, Iron Man, cough). 
 
And let's not bring up the fact that he never cheated on Jean, was technically psychically raped by his therapist, and was tormented by his supposed wife flirting with the guy who chipped at his confidence every chance he got. Oh yeh, there was also that little matter of becoming fused with the malevolent entity called Apocalypse, but there's no way that could mess you up (sarcasm mode).

Cyke isn't a jerk, he's a badass.  People used to complain that he was too much of a boy scout and now that he's grown a pair they complain that he's a jerk.  Just goes to show you that comic fans will always find something to bitch about.

To some it may seem like he is being a jerk but in all honesty he is doing whats best for the mutant race even if some of his actions are questionable.  It's all about survival and he is doing what he has to do even though he doesn't even like it sometimes.

Cyclops is one of my favorite characters.....

He used to be Badass and a favourite of mine but with Matt he's a jerk

NO he is a great leader ............ sometimes he just steps on people to get correct results... he just gets the work done
