Cyclops finally gets telepathy is my theory.

Cyclops gets to control his optic blasts

I think he will control his blasts.

A better question would be, what purpose does an X shaped visor even serve?

@god_spawn

His X shaped visor should probably just give him an X shaped optic blast.

@ApatheticAvenger: Most likely on the ruby quartz thing. But I'm curious as how this X visor works when his old one fit directly over his eyes with the need of a space in between them. With this X, unless ruby quartz lines the costume or the visor isn't fitted directly over his eyes, then it would just rip the mask. And even then he doesn't seem to have a wide option to his blasts then and if he does, it leaves a huge split in the middle.

@ApatheticAvenger: They should spoil it now. Unless Cyclops is really getting 1 eye and it is on the bridge of his nose. The X's fit over his eyes though. This could either end up as something kind of cool or a total sh*tfest.

@ApatheticAvenger: Touche.

@ApatheticAvenger: Nother question. What if he is attacked outside of battle? Like how he could just switch his glasses for visor. Now he has to strap on some weird X thing? Or have 2 visors?

@ApatheticAvenger: Marvel NOW: Practicality out the window.

I'm betting he just gets to control his blasts. Telepathy for him just wouldn't make any sense.

Another idea, maybe it has to do with the type of energy he emits.

It confirms that he is the new malcom x

His new suit looks kind of like a containment suit with all the unexplained glowing and all. I'm think he's radiating optic energy now

All prior hosts of the Phoenix Force were telepaths. There's no other non-telepath more associated with telepaths than Cyclops. If the Phoenix left him a little gift, it makes sense to me that it'd be that.

Think he will change his name to Black Panther then? To really screw with Storm?

That would be the ultimate f-you to black panther more than storm. First, his ex-wife is seemingly going to be hooking up with a caucasian canadian ( Wolverine) and now a white male ( Cyke) is about to change his name after a group of revolutionary African Americans, trust me when i say that he will not be a happy camper :P

Alls prior were telepaths true, but the Phoenix five were an exception since they were not weilding the full power. Cyclops was a bad host, thats why the more power he gained the more unstable he got. It makes a certain amount of sense, but it'd still be very unusual.

Actually until he got Emma's half he was pretty stable. I mean Earth is still here too. Compared to what the Phoenix can and has done, Cyclops was very restrained, even as the Dark Phoenix.

I don't know about that, he didn't like go beserk or anything, but with every piece he got he went further and further towards becoming the Dark Phoenix. You know the more I think about your theory, the more it makes sense. He did have that psychic link with Jean and he has had telepaths poking around his head quite intimately for most of his life. I suppose if anyone would get telepathy, it would have to be him.

Cyclops with telepathy would be awful. I'd prefer the ability to control his optic blasts, but I have to say the idea that all the P5 are getting some type of power augmentation is fascinating. All my fave characters were members of the P5.

He is going to date/sleep with another telepath

I don't think cyclops will get tp. Because if he would there would be no need for emma in the team since they are not a couple anymore. I am with the idea of scott controlling his optic blasts

it could mean that he can't really see because of the X helmet >:P

For me it's either that or his blasts will be fiery in some way.

im hoping cyclops gets more control over his optic blasts....increased strength of his beams....whatever it is...i just hope it increases his overall fighting ability

also, i cant tell. But in the new costume...is that a helmet or hood he has on?

Can probably shoot multiple arcing Blasts (like when Captain AMerica throws his shield on an angle) now or a single one with pinpoint accuracy.
