I just want to point out that if the "public" knew that Wolverine was leading a hit squad to kill people he would be viewed as a bad guy too. I also want to re point out that the original X men were villains to the public eye, also want to point out that Punisher is a criminal (some others i am sure he just pops up in my head first) I think it's silly how this is being debated so much,Cyclops team are Heroes a different type of heroes sure but it's not the first time it's been done nor shall it be the last. I mean HOW MUCH property damage do the avengers or X men cause in a typical comic? I can grab a few i am sure and it will be tons, the X treme X men series by Chris Clairmount pretty much blew up an entire island in one of the story arcs (a damn good one i might add)
Even movies like Hancock (Shout out to big willy!) kind of focuses on the negative parts of having a super hero around. It shows them all the time picking up cars and smashing buildings. It also shows several of them (spiderman a very good example of this one) running from the cops and even battling them a bit. This is no different, people needed saving they stormed in and did it in traditional super hero style. Will it end up being bad for mutants, uh yea? If they didn't do this the school would be bad for mutants, i mean hell Humans were ready to take them down in Morrison's run and they were don't shit, point being its racism and it doesn't need a proper motivation it never has. This is taking a real life problem and adapting it to a super hero environment.
People want to point out the fact that humans accept Captain America or Miss Marvel or who the hell ever as heroes so they would X men as well? It's not the same, they are a new race of people. Sure their are alot of heroes but they are all just random freak accidents. Spider man having babies are going to be regular kids, (unless they are mutants) these are people that have saved their lives and they trust, they TRUST captain america they don't trust all super powered people. Mutants pose the threat of taking over society, of being some random kid with a bad attitude. It really is a totally different thing and people (should this happen in real life) would much easier accept that this one super powered guy is a good stand up guy then a new race of super powered people can be trusted. I mean you can learn to trust one person but a million people with powers that is scary, some of the have to be evil and it would settle in the back of minds.
But yea, CYclops is doing Hero stuff just like everyone else and people are blowing it out of proportion for some odd reason, THEY WANT Him to be a villain so Cap & Wolverine will be right! But in the end Cyclops was right deal with it :-p oh and Marvel is eating this up, this is got to be the hottest topic in comics right now and thats exactly what they wanted. So people who claim shitty writing, or poor this or blah blah, sure maybe but all that matters is the bottom line and right now this has the most attention of any other comic story just read the forums lol
