Havok has always been a B-list hero, despite leading teams like X-Factor, the X-Men, and the Avengers Unity Squad. The brother of Cyclops first appeared in the Silver Age and became an on and off member of the X-Men. The Claremont run eventually brought him back to be the resident Summers on the team, and Claremont played up Havok’s need to be a hero. This earnestness towards heroism has always partly defined Havok, and it’s been his biggest weakness.So much of Havok’s history points towards this. His Krakoa Era stories have thrown him into chaos, like most of the X-Men. Now, Havok’s back with Madelyne Pryor. In Dark X-Men, Havok’s desire to save the day almost kills him, but that’s pretty common in his history. In fact, an older Havok series — Havok/Wolverine: Meltdown — feels like recommended reading to understand the current Havok and how his desire to be a hero like his brother has hurt him.The Silver Age X-Men stories aren’t exactly the most beloved, but they did a great job of setting up the original team as great heroes. Cyclops was especially heroic, leading the team into battle and beginning his road to becoming the mutant Captain America. Havok was introduced towards the end of X-Men (Vol. 1), and was just the generic younger brother. He started his long-term relationship with Polaris back during this time, which would become one of his two defining relationships in his existence.RELATED: Jonathan Hickman’s Revolutionary X-Men Books Should Never Receive Film AdaptationsRELATED: Marvel Needs To Borrow From Anime And Give Fans A Krakoa Slice Of Life Series
