Charades Marvel X-Men Cyclops Costume, As Shown, Small

Product Information

Chris: Bleh. While losing the bright yellow trunks was a move in the right direction, going from blue and yellow to blue and white was a pretty uninspired decision. This is like if vanilla ice cream was a costume. The “X” across the chest makes sense, but there are too many unnecessary lines–especially the one above his visor (which should have been a metallic white to keep with the theme). Score: 6/10 Chris: When the time came for the original X-Men to ditch their blue-and-yellow school uniforms and become individuals… Scott did very little to mix it up. But you know what? It works for Slim! It’s hard not to love the costume Cyke wore in so many classic X-Men stories, but the bright yellow underwear and pirate boots are certainly an interesting choice. It would take a few decades, but Cyclops eventually set this look right. Score: 8/10 Eric: I have mixed feelings on this outfit. I think how good it looks largely depends on who’s drawing it. Jim Lee could pull it off, but… well… that was Jim Lee. I don’t think Scott is a character whose designs benefit from having lots of unnecessary details. The pouches, the leg straps… a lot about this just looks kind of awkward. Score: 6/10

Jason: Yeah, not a fan of Aclopsalypse. I thought “The Twelve” storyline didn’t live up to its premise and have never really been a fan of Alan Davis’ pencils, but this has “rush job” written all over it. What are those iron handles popping out of his shoulders? What’s up with that random tube in his leg? Why does he only have one eye when the two people he’s composed of have both of their eyes. Mysteries for the ages, my friends. Score: 1/10 David: I was never a fan of this simple look because of the yellow underoos. The mostly blue spandex is cool and all, but it looks like he’s wearing a diaper. Overall, the costume has the right color, but it’s so subtle it reads to me like a costume they were trying out before they reached the real winner. Score: 6/10 In 1995, the X-universe changed dramatically. Due to Legion accidentally killing his father, Charles Xavier, in the past, he never lived to form the X-Men and history reshaped itself accordingly. In the new timeline, Apocalypse ruled the United States with an iron fist, while the X-Men were led by Magneto and Rogue. Well-known characters often appeared in unfamiliar roles, which was certainly the case for Cyclops. "Prelate Summers" wasn't the leader of the X-Men. Instead, he worked alongside Mister Sinister to serve the cause of Apocalypse, although readers soon found out that Scott's heroic side wasn't completely absent in this new reality: he had been helping people escape the slave pens for years.Jason: Let it be heard far and wide, I have always hated X-Men flight- and wetsuits. This thing is just so boring and flat. AND HE KEPT THE DAMN PIRATE BOOTIES AND GLOVES! What the hell, Slim? Hire an image consultant. Wait a minute, X-Factor? An image consultant put you IN this mess? Woof. Score: 4/10 The power of Cyclops' optic blasts is well-known. Less well-known is that he also has the power to make readers' eyes bleed: at least that's the effect that was achieved by this garish and short-lived outfit that only appeared in one issue, "X-Men" #35 by the creative team of Fabian Nicieza and Liam Sharp. The issue sees Scott and Jean have their honeymoon interrupted when they assist with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attempt to deal with a powerful mutant. If there’s one thing superheroes usually aren’t, it’s ordinary. Their over-the-top flair extends not only to their powers and morals, but to their fashions as well. There are few super teams where this is more the case than the X-Men. In honor of Cyclops Week, we’re turning our attention to just some of the many costumes Scott Summers has worn through the years. Which of his looks is the best? Our panel of fashion judges, Cyclops Week Curator Chris Hassan, Content and Media Manager David Brooke, Contributor Jason Segarra, Contributor Forrest Hollingsworth and Manga Editor Eric Cline decide! The classic blue-and-yellow costume

To infiltrate a villain organization, Cyclops came up with the cover identity of Eric the Red. Special circuits built into the helmet redirected his optic beams, making it seem as if they originated from his hands. [X-Men (1st series) #51-52] Of course, once the organization was defeated, Cyclops returned to his actual costume, while the Eric the Red identity was later used by two opponents of the X-Men.He is often depicted in ancient art as a strong figure that carries a trident. Often, Poseidon is shown seated on a chariot that is pulled either by horses or dolphins. The Head of Polyphemus from the Colosseum.

Initially intended to serve as bodyguards for humanitarian missions, Gabby and her nine sisters were created with enhanced abilities. Away from her makers, Gabby's adventures now often include her companion, an actual wolverine Jonathan, a gift from Squirrel Girl. The iconic duo has endeared themselves to fans through their heartwarming escapades, and Solorzano's delightful fan art, portraying Gabby and Jonathan in Cyclops and Wolverine costumes, is certain to captivate new admirers. Eric: It looks like I’m in the minority here, but I love this suit. It’s easily one of Scott’s best for me. Again, the color contrast is great. I’m usually not a fan of uniforms that just reflect the team’s identity rather than the individual’s, but in this case I think it works. Scott is one of the most quintessential X-Men after all, and he’s perhaps the one whose identity is most tied up to his membership in the team. And, again, keeping things simple and streamlined prevents other costume elements from distracting from the visor. Score: 8/10 Forrest: There’s a good balance of colors and detail going on here, and for something that’s got so many things happening it’s surprisingly simple-looking. In the end, I think they would’ve been better served putting an extra red touch on the feet or hands, rather than you know… where it is. Score: 6/10
