Cyclops' Rewritten Superpowers Finally Gave Him The Cool Moment The X-Men Movies Refused To
Cyclops makes spectacular use of his mutant powers in X-Men '97, making a far cooler hero than he ever was in Fox's live-action films.
Cyclops leads the X-Men once again in X-Men ’97, demonstrating a new use of his mutant superpower that makes him far more interesting than his film counterpart. Continuing from where the classic X-Men Animated Series left off, X-Men ’97 is a comic-accurate and crowd-pleasing revival of one of Marvel’s most beloved TV shows, and much of the praise X-Men ’97 has been receiving has centered on its portrayal of Cyclops. While Cyclops has a poor reputation, as far as his personality and the seeming overspecialization of his powers go, X-Men ’97’s first episodes provide strong counterarguments to these views.
