What did Cyclops keep in his safety deposit box? Hmmm.... Lets see. A bootleg DVD of season two of Storage Wars, a beanie baby, a bottle of Jergens hand lotion, a signed copy of Rob Liefeld's BLOODSTRIKE #1, dirty pictures of Emma Frost, dirty pictures of Professor X, a kit-kat bar, and a bottle of Xenex.....     

Cyclops may have been the leader of the X-Men, and under Charles leadership, he may have been altruistic, but he was still a mutant, and Charles understood that. At any moment the government could decide mutants are a threat and come for them. At that point, they'd need to scatter. Keeping all their funds, necessities, and keepsakes in a mansion where anyone who'd need to knows they're there would be foolish.

So it only makes sense they have various safety deposit boxes stored around the world, with various things they need, some money as necessary, and things they'd want to make sure would be kept safe. In this case, a wedding invitation, some photos, and a pair of glasses so Scott isn't caught without.

I love the art and MYSTIQUE!!!

Scott Summers is The Batman of Marvel. The dude has a contingency plan for everything. He knew that someday the trauma of his life would be too great and he would snap and kill the idealistic baldy, so then that idiot Beast would surely use time travel to set things right, so he would put some stuff in his locker to make his younger self knock some sense into his older self.

I will now refer to Young Scott as the Cyclops Of Zur-En-Arrh.

"Scott Summers is The Batman of Marvel"

This is so woefully incorrect it hurts to read.

@DarkxSeraph: What really hurts to read is that you took the entire comment woefully serious.

No offense, Avenger... but you've posted it several times across a few forums. *chuckles* You've displayed what appears to be a genuine hate for Beast and a whole lot of lovin' for Cyke... so... *shrug* kinda easy to take it serious from you.

@DarkxSeraph: Yeah a couple of times, But you gotto realize that when someone calls Cyclops the Batman of Marvel, then it is not to be taken too seriously, lol man just read the whole comment. They have a couple of similarities, but that's about it.

Yeah I dont like Beast. To each his own opinion.

Lol, the best thing about this is that Bendis seems to have forgotten that Scott has loved Emma Frost for ages. Why doesn't he have a photograph of her?? And why does he keep a lock of Jean's hair when he has completely overcome his old relationshi??. I just hope that one of those photos were Emma's, but I don't think so: Emma isn't the kind of person that likes being immortalized in photos with his boyfriend, and if Young Scott had found one of Emma's photos he would have left Jean to find the blond chick lol

@Veitha:

Not as much as he loved Jean, and no, he hasn't overcome that relationship. Look at what his thoughts were the moment he saw young Jean. He wouldnt even have gotten into a relationship with Emma had Jean not willed him to go ahead.

how so?

How so?

Er... well, where to begin... well, there's the Boyscout years which were devastatingly prominent until his slow fall.

The lack of really any sort of detective skills.

The lack of dark drive

The difference between tactician and true mastermind (which Bruce has, Scott doesn't).

To say that Scott plans for every contingency is more of a pipedream than reality, whereas Bruce has literally placed himself in death traps to learn how to escape and prep.

The theme of the characters.

The personalities of the characters

This really can go on forever. If you want a close approximation to Batman in terms of character and drive, look at Matt Murdock. He's your closest. And not even Murdock is crazy enough or without fear enough to do some of the things Bruce has.

Buuuuut, this is far enough off topic.

@Avenger "He wouldnt even have gotten into a relationship with Emma had Jean not willed him to go ahead."

Nah. He would have been content to have a psychic affair go on forever.

Yeah, it's true Jean gave him the green light in this when she died... but still.

Nah. I could argue about that for hours lol.

Anyway, his last meeting with Jean Grey was written by Bendis, so it's the same example of bad writing.

Scott was into Emma before Jean's death and even before Jean willed him to go ahead.

Scott's past relationship with Emma doesn't change the fact that Jean was a huge part of his life. He did put a ring on her after all. Jean's not simply an "ex".

Emma's not simply an "ex", too. They've grown together, they've changed each other, they've shared the Phoenix Force itself, they've gone through many things together but now Bendis seems to remember only about Jean, and he doesn't even consider how deep Scott relationship with Emma was.

I'm assuming the original intention of this lockbox were for if things went bad at the school and the students needed their own means of survival (hence money and old-school ruby quartz shades).

It also appears to be a sort of keepsake treasury, where an older Scott put a lock of Jean's hair (possibly the same lock of hair that Wolverine once kept?) and the wedding invites, as well as old pictures of him with Jean and Maddie.

The reason there wouldn't be any pictures of Emma would be because he was still with her. This is both a contingency plan box and a memory box. Emma wasn't in the past like Jean, she was the present.

I honestly hadn't thought about if there was a picture of Emma or not, but that sounds about right.

You just answered your own question by posting the 3rd image.

Lol. So this is what the X-Men have come to. What a shame. What a damned shame.

@AgeofHurricane: eh why ?

@Avenger85 said:

@AgeofHurricane: eh why ?

It's written by Bendis and sales have been bumped due to the 4-5 star artists he's receiving to illustrate this rubbish. That's why.

@AgeofHurricane: Well I do like the young Cyclops parts. It makes you really sympathise with him.

@Avenger85: I was a strong supporter of the anti-hero Cyclops movement up until Bendis got a hold of him. Now i'm alright.

@McKlayn: That's not just Young Scott who doesn't love her. Bendis has written them like they weren't even a couple. For example, when Scott sees the O5 for the first time, he thinks that Emma was using her telepathy to create an illusion against him, thinking immediately that she had returned to her "villanous" days... Well, this seems poor writing to me coz they loved each other for years and now they've already started to hate and accuse each other?? This is what I meant, and it would have been interesting seeing the reaction of Young Jean and Young Scott to current Scott relationship with Em', but Bendis forgot this, too. I think that he's managing very well all of the characters, but he hasn't shown to be able to write Emma properly, at least not yet.

@Madame_Mist: I don't agree at all, longer doesn't mean better and the fact that Emma and Scott shared the Phoenix - even if they couldn't control it - should have made them even closer, and during New X-Men Jean and Scott didn't just change, they understood that many thing were wrong with their relationship, and Scott and Emma found the perfect confidant and then lover in each other. During Gillen's run Emma felt unapreciated and a bit forgotten by Scott, but their relationship was as stable as ever. Anyway I hope that Uncanny will explain more what's going on between Emma and Scott.

But I always go off topic lol.

I think that the man with Mystique is Sabretooth, coz they both appear on a future All New X-Men cover.

haha! have you actually read the new issue? I think it's probably the best one yet. hahaha!

that is a really good point, though; the art is just gorgeous.

but, yeah, this is also a really good point.

@dangallant984: Lol i'm not going to because that goes against everything that i've been saying about this title, though i will most definitely chip in for the title's final issue.

Agreeing with this.

I think the guy in the van is suppose to be Hoffman.....
