Has Cyclops always....been like that, when it comes to Jean Grey? (and in general)

No one looks good post-schism, so get the fuck out of here with that.
Both Scott and Logan are at their best when they are not actively antagonistic toward each other.
Like with Batman, trying to make Wolverine actively badass has so many diminishing returns that I don't know why they bother.
Smithers, I'm beginning to think that Scott Summers is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.
Too many people just saw the cartoons and movies and never saw how good he's been in the comics many times.
Scott's cool when you've got big hero things that need to happen and big hero lines that need to be delivered.
The problem is when you need him to be a normal human guy having fun interactions with other characters on the mend, he's just the worst.

I fucking hate Cyclops' personality but that doesnt stop him from being one of the coolest X-Men and doesnt change the fact that he should be in charge.
Its concussive energy, not like a heat ray or laser beam. It actually doesnt produce any heat
He isnt actually shooting anything out of his eyes. They open portals to a dimension that is full of this energy and it just explodes out uncontrollably.

Absolutely, it became easier to cast Cyke as the unlikable bad guy once editorial interference basically cemented him as that. But the fact of the matter remains that Logan has done morally worse than Scott has ever done by order of magnitude, but Logan gets away with it because he's the one-liner generating pop-culture cash-cow, while Scott is the reserved child-soldier who works behind the scenes making sure that his father figures ambition is realized.
Waves of physical force that just happen to glow. Anything that he "burns" is really just getting pulverized until friction come into play.
Where do the waves of physical force come from? Some say he absorbs sunlight and turns it into his energy blasts. Others, well.
If you're asking me to pick a side, I'm gonna pick the side that at least gave kids a chance instead of pretending like they could go back to normal as they ramped up attempts to wipe out the remaining mutants.

I would like to not think of Scott the way I do but it is also not my fault. There have been opportunities for him to be more than what he has been shown to be as a casual fan and they have failed. I trust that KF will fix this when the time comes.
Honestly I'd say Wolverine gets hoed more than Summers. People just don't realize it because it involves his ability to heal through anything so it comes off as a cool but Wolverine gets his ass beat by people who really shouldn't be able to constantly lol
Yep Scott doesnt need to be infallible but every form of media hes been featured in (except the games I guess) have kinda poisoned the well for the character over the decades. Most casual fans dont know enough about Cyclops to get the proper understanding of the character. Most hardcore fans have read too many shit stories that do a bad job with him and paint him as too much of an asshole, who goes too far and still fails too often.
He's one of those characters like Tony Stark and Carol Danvers that will be serviced incredibly by an MCU-reboot if they do it right
My favorite Cyclop fact is that he considers fighting dinosaurs by himself a vacation
Cyclops has a pretty good shot in the MCU since Cap it out of the picture. He can take that spot but be more of a douche about it because he's Cyclops.
the visor helps him do more with it than just shoot a concussive blast everywhere. he can control it to a degree but he needs some finesse at times.
He doesn't, not entirely. He's been without his visor plenty of times, but the visor allows for more granularity of his powers otherwise.
If you don't need to blow up a city block and just need to bounce your beams off of mirrors to make someone trip 30 feet behind you without making it obvious that you're the one doing it, you're going to need the visor.
Technically, he can burn things. Because he's exerting enough force to excite the molecules, it's just most things wouldn't get to that point because they'd be torn from the force. But something like a dense metal could melt which is what happened with that sentinel in the panel posted. But yea I get what you're saying and I agree!
Doing what real leaders do, casual flexes.
Also a real moment that showed by emma loved him
First that is some nerd shit, and yes Cyke is that nigga
You may be shocked to know this is all Kurt Busiek's fault.
Anyway it was editorial fuckery to reunite the O5, a team literally nobody has ever cared about at any point in their lives, and even then Cyclops left because he wanted to know if Jean was alive, then came back and Maddie was gone.
I'm not saying it's okay, I'm not saying it should have happened, but Cyclops deserves better than always getting dragged for this.
There's plenty of blame to go around. (I was already aware of Busiek's involvement in the whole affair.)
There's a reason Cyclops is in charge of the army of all mutantkind.
that art is fantastic who is it?
One of my favorite Scott moments. I hear the chorus of "Where Ya At" by Future every time I read that convo
The entire Decimation era basically. He was at his best when he was with Emma.
Someone has probably told you by now, but Cyclops is badass
Media has done him very dirty
Yep. For a long time I hated Cyclops as a kid because media made me think he was Jean obsessed jerk and loser. But over time as I read how he actually was like I really like him now and it testifies how actually he good he is when all the recent attempts to character assassinate him have failed.
But for real Wolverine and the X-Men is the worst at how it portrays Cyclops as he is just there to make Wolverine look cool.
This bugs me too.
It's utter force. Like being hit with a Mack truck or worse...
This move is an anti air nightmare, heh.
Damn if that wasn't the best description of Cyclops I've ever read. Shitty husband and father, but he's absolutely what you described - at least up until I stopped reading X-Men in 1993.
The visor helps him adjust the beam so he doesn't blow everything away when he opens his eyes. He could probably do the same thing to a lesser degree by partially opening his eyes or something. The visor gives him that extra finesse and lets him flex those awesome geometry skills.
Cyclops is more like Superman, except that it doesn't turn into a billion other powers. Bishop is different since he could punch a wall and absorb the kinetic energy from that, ambient light from a lightbulb, an electrical wire, and then use that power to amp himself and shoot energy blasts just as long as it doesn't overload him.
Cyclops is passive, Bishop's is not.
Cyclops doesn't really need his visor, but it lets him fine tune his powers to where he wants and needs them to be. And he's been more powerful since he was the Phoenix, so even though he doesn't need it, he has it because it helps.
Same reason why Rogue continues to cover up even though she has full control of her powers now.
