Back in the day, comic books often included letter columns that published mail sent in by readers, sometimes with responses by writers or editors. Though this practice has largely fallen by the wayside, it is easier than ever for fans to communicate with comic creators through the internet. Gail Simone, the writer for the current run of Uncanny X-Men, recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss why a certain member of Marvel’s premiere mutant team has proven unpopular: “I don’t understand people who don’t like Cyclops.”Hundreds of replies soon came flooding in, with some explaining their distaste for Cyclops and others trying to defend him. Cyclops, real name Scott Summers, is integral to the history of the X-Men, as he led the original iteration of the team. Regardless, many readers lack interest in him or even actively dislike him. The responses that Simone received mainly fell into three categories.Scott is generally depicted as a stoic, straight-laced leader, while Logan is a gruff, reckless maverick. Whenever a conflict arises among the X-Men, such as in the X-Men: Schism series, Cyclops and Wolverine are likely to end up on opposing sides. Since Wolverine is by far the most popular member of the X-Men and one of the most popular superheroes in general, anyone who attempts to compete with him will look worse by comparison.
