Scott NEEDS one of his own flesh & blood with him on his team, to prevent him from going batshit insane. Emma isn't exactly the best candidate for helping him keep his head on his shoulders, these days. So either Nate Grey or Rachel would be great.

Also interesting would be if he & Cable combined their teams and resources for awhile. They're both fugitives on the run from SHIELD and Avengers. And they have a similar ideology and way of doing things, great bond between them etc. So why not team up ? Temporarily at least. Would also be some hilarious interaction between Colossus, Magik & Domino. The potential for fun stuff happening if those 2 teams combine is limitless.

And I would love it if we have someone like Silver Samurai join Cyke's teams, just for the luls.

Cable has always been more lethal and ruthless then Scott. I think it would probably have the reverses effect of what you're thinking. >.<

@teerack:

However good or bad the effect would be, it sure as hell would be FUN to read about, no ?

I don't want Scott to be corrupted :\

Lol some would say we are long past that point.

Between Nate and Rachel joining Scott, Nate has the greater chance. Rachel won't be leaving the JGS. That's her way of life. That's what she believes is the best route for Mutantkind. Nate would frankly be the more interesting choice. He was buddies with Spider-Man and believes his philosophy of Great Power, Great Responsibility so he could easily be that moral compass for the team. Plus any Nate/Scott time would be greatly appreciated. They only had one more since Nate's return, and ReGenesis shown that Nate wanted to have the Father Son interaction. Plus I'd love Nate and Illyana interaction given his time with the New Mutants and the awkward meeting they had during the Fear Itself tie-in of New Mutants. But Nate would need to be repowered (Jean Grey levels) though which technically was a result of nerve damage. Given Triage's powers, he could be able to heal that.

I'm all for CaXF and UXM teaming up. I mean Logan technically has another X-Force, so why shouldn't Cyke?

Nah, Daken, bro. Just to rub it in Logan's face. But Remender screwed that one.

@teerack:

Cable isn't gonna corrupt Scott. He is a good guy. IMHO Cable is one of the more nicer guys. The guy's been a Straight arrow from day 1. Actually in some ways he's more of the boyscout/good soldier than Scott. No way he corrupts Scott. He'll just make him more badass than he is already. And Nate being around would also help. Maybe the only negative thing about this team-up would be having Hope around going "Scott Summers is a jerk !" whenever she gets upset.

I don't really believe making a character more ruthless makes them more badass.

@thegreyoutcastx:

But I like the Samurai's armor. The dude looks 100 times cooler than Daken & Logan combined.

And Nate being on Cyke's team does make sense. I really don't see why Cyke and Christopher are not working together. Basically their goals and ideals are almost identical to each other. Would also make alot of the Summers brood supporters happy. Bendis should have taken this approach.

Also, I'd ship an Illyana/Nate or Tempus/Nate couple, just for the lulz

I don't get the logic of this. You make it seem like Cable is a heartless monster. He's doesn't do anymore than Wolverine does and that dude is lauded as a great guy. Plus Cable respects Scott's leadership, and would more than likely just fill the role that Logan used to do aka do what needs to be done.

@teerack:

Well I edited my post with a longer explanation. Cable is ruthless in the right way. But no way is he a BAD guy, at all. In fact, I'd rank Cable right up with Colossus in the good guy department if you're looking at pure heart.

Yes, although Cyke's new team is more of the "do what needs to be done" type, he's short of resources and manpower to be able to make a huge difference. Teaming up with Cable will give him exactly that.

Then his plans for World Domination will be complete ! MUAHAHAHAHA !

No seriously, Cable's team is something that would be an asset to Scott's school. IMHO there is no better teacher/trainer for young mutants right now than Cable. And his team NEEDS a refuge. The New Xavier's school is the perfect place for it.

In fact, I understand the reason for the editors not wanting them to join up. it's because they'd be so effective, they'd outclass the Avengers, O5, and JGS combined :P

Now I'm not saying either character is a heartless monster but there is a problem with your argument because Wolverine isn't a great guy despite how people treat him. He just gets a pass because he's so popular and people like him more. It's why writers have basically neutered modern Wolverine and call it "evolution" when really it's off the path of it.

But isn't he still dead? Daken would have been just a major F U to Logan that would have fueled the rivalry to the next level. "You took my young self, my young ex-wife, and my daughter, but I took that kid you totally screwed over. Yep, I'll be that dad you never were. :P"

Yes, it does. Especially when you think about Nate's reasons for staying on Utopia during ReGenesis. There is a ton of potential for him on Scott's team. Cause Cable has his own mission currently that takes priority, but I figure they will have more interaction as things go on.

Lol I get Nate and Illyana as it's a better/more interesting idea than NatexDani, but why Tempus and Nate? Cause they both have skunk hair?

I know that. I mean that as the Marvel Universe still looks at him in a good light regardless of what we the reader knows he's done. But I think we agree that his characterization has suffered greatly.

There isn't anything illogical about it. Cable might be a good guy, but end of the day he's a killer and an assassin. Logan did used to be right next to him doing the same things, but can you really believe that Scott's situation hasn't changed?

The conversation in AvX aftermath summed it up best where now that Logan is doing good things in the world Scott needs to do the bad things. That's all good and great, but end of the day Cyclops is NOT Wolverine and isn't a killer/assassin.

Now that Scott is putting this new responsibility on himself to do the things that need to be done I don't want a killer(but still a good guy) next to him poking him down a bloodier path.

@dernman: People do see Logan as a good guy, and that's great, but It doesn't make him any less corrupted. Uncanny X-Force volume 1 really dug deep into that.

@thegreyoutcastx:

Well they made Sabretooth alive again, I'm sure they can do that with Silver Samurai. And Daken's death was the defining moment of the end of that X-Force series. So resurrecting him so soon will be a bit awkward.

And I like NatexTempus because Nate is a genuinely good guy, and Tempus is also a decent girl, so they would make a good match. Something like oldschool Scott/Jean.

I never said people liking him made him less corrupted (though I wouldn't use that word). My point was why people (fans and writers) hold him to a different standard and brand him differently than Cable when really they are similar.

Cable is a Soldier. No different that Captain America or any other soldier. He was trained to fight a war with a near immortal tyrant. You are forced to make hard choices to maintain the peace. Even more so when you are a time traveler, but that doesn't make him a butcher. He has morals.

You really believe that Scott is so far gone that he gonna start killing everything that doesn't agree with him? He has done nothing to support the idea.

You automatically assume that what Scott meant that be that note to Logan was that they were to just swap roles. He meant that Logan was the one to carry on the ideal of Co-Existence in the way Xavier would have wanted while Scott would act as the buffer to all those who would want to harm them. They both are fighting for the same thing. I get that they were trying to do the Xavier/Magneto comparison, but that really doesn't hold ground.

You seem to think that just cause Scott has gone down the road of "We will not be pushed around anymore." that instantly, he's gonna go full on Magneto and start killing people. That's not how Scott operates. Especially when you have the public support that Scott has been shown to have. That's counter-productive to Scott's fight for mutant equality.

@teerack:

What GreyOutcastX said in his last post. If you're a soldier, you do what needs to be done. Simple as that. That is what Cable is. And so is Scott. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nothing "corrupted" about him here...

I'm not really sure how to respond to this because you misinterpreted what I was saying so much, so I just wont because it's a pain to explain it again.

You realize that Daken is coming back in Uncanny Avengers right?

Seems Legit. Lol So who then would end up being his Emma?

@teerack:

So what would you have Cyclops do ?

There is a HUGE difference between a soldier and a mass murdering killer, or an Assassin. Cyclops and cable are soldiers. Not psychopathic killers, nor assassins.

@thegreyoutcastx:

Illyana could be Nate's Emma then. Nate-Tempus-Illyana could be the younger version of Scott-Jean-Emma :P

Think about it, makes sense and could be interesting if Bendis WANTS it to lol.

P.S. Why Avengers ? Why does Daken have to return in Avengers ? lol I didn't expect Marvel to be such a bunch of sell-outs lol.

Would be hilarious if he joins Scott's team.

@teerack: My apologies, I just don't seem to understand your point of view.

Soldiers are killers. That's a huge debate I'm not going to get into.

I don't think the question "So what would you have Cyclops do ?" really has an answer. I can't see the future of the X-Men so I don't know what he's going to face, but his dedication to saving and helping teach new mutants is a good start.

@teerack:

"Soldiers are killers "

Wow man you are so wrong it's not even funny. You don't even KNOW what you're talking about here, really. That is ignorant as hell. But yeah, lets leave it at that.

That love triangle has the potential to end badly LOL. Especially when you have Nate (a Psionic Mutant doomsday weapon), Illyana (a Hell Lord), and Tempus (seemingly able to manipulate time).

He's coming back in Uncanny Avengers cause of Remender's Dark Angel Saga continuation. He has him as a Horsemen of Death. I'm sure you've seen that cover with the Four Horsemen of Death.

It's always nice when people think their opinions are facts.

@thegreyoutcastx:

Wether it ends badly or not, it sure is gonna be interesting. People these days want their love stories to be interesting, right ? Well this one is sure to have alot of FIREWORKS LOL.

If they team up I want them to f*ck up the Avengers for their hypocrisy.

Oh Nate's life would be hell if those two went at it. Time and Space would be so screwed.

@teerack:

Well I usually don't consider my opinion as a fact, but really, c'mon man. It's not MY fact. it IS a Fact. You're asking me to believe that sun rises from the West and Sets in the East. And when I refuse, then I think my opinion is a fact ?

Do you even know what a professional soldier, or even any serviceman in any branch of the military is ? Do you have any friends or relatives who have served ?

Seriously, man. Please put the comics down for some time and educate yourself on this. I don't really want to call you out on this in a Comic Book forum, but I really have to.

Can we also toss Beast into this? Cause he's the biggest hypocrite of them all.

Yeeeaaaah! Want to change the past? Toss him back to the Big Bang!

But I think we both can agree that it would make for some very interesting and utterly hilarious reading, no ?

Beast is an Avenger. So is Logan. So theyre included in the list automatically.

That will happen in a very brutal way, if they team up. That IMHO, is the exact reason why Marvel don't want them to team up. They'd bash their favorite posterboy ( and cash cow) team's skull in.

If I am not following you, I soon will be.

Thousands of retired and active duty soldiers would agree with me.(so this isn't an uncommon opinion) My Father severed and I have three friends that have severed. Am I calling them murdered or even questioning the morality of what they do? No. I want to be a solider myself.

But considering the counselling services that the military provides itself I know for a fact a lot of soldiers find your way of thinking very offensive.(I don't find it offensive personally.)

You can think what ever you want, but you should be aware that looking at it from that perspective is inconsiderate of just how much commitment and sacrifice soldiers actually need to make.

@avenger85: True. But at the same time, I kinda don't want Nate to have love triangle drama that has plagued Scott for years.

And what is my way of thinking, really ? Am I calling these men saints ? Am I calling them murderers or remorseless killers ? I consider them to be brave professionals, who are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

And yes I agree that the councelling services that the military provides for itself are not adequate. The services have had a large number of cases of PTSD and other issues, which need to be taken care of.

Why not ? it's a defining charecteristic of the Summers family haha.

Just look at Havoc/polaris/Scarlet Witch. Then theres Cable & Domino.

Cause he's still got baby mama drama from the late 90s to deal with. Resolve that first.

When was it established that Wanda was romantically linked to Havok? I thought Remender was trying to go that route with Wasp?

Isn't Colossus on record that he'd kill both Illyana and Scott the next time he sees them?

@rickbarry: Oh, he's just exaggerating... I hope.

@rickbarry:

Well he's always welcome to try. Scott's uber-powered optic blast begs to differ.

You mean that same baby mama who tried to have sex with him ? Oh damn. That was some disgusting incest right there lol.

Hmm I thought it was Scarlet Witch and Havok, not Wasp. Anyways, I dont keep that up-to-date with the Uncanny Incompetents, or Cap's Incompetents team.

I was referring to Threnody's baby whose Nate is allegedly the father of. Not the Maddie Kiss.

The last couple of issues it seems like Wasp has taken a sort interest in Alex and was gonna have a moment when they had to deal with a crisis.

@thegreyoutcastx:

Oh i see.

But anyways, he's a Summers. Having babies and banging every orifice around is part of his DNA. You're not a Summers until you've banged every telepath or redhead & blonde on your team XD

Same with Alex. Captain should have put a restraining order on him against all the ladies in Avengers. Won't be long before the Summers genes have spread among the Avengers.

Hawkeye has some serious competition and a legit threat in that department now LOL

Nate shouldn't have children that he's not gonna be a father to. Scott has done that enough.

But you do have a point, he is a Summers. xD

Dude, the genealogy charts are already super confusing as it is now cause of the Summers line. lol
