    Cyclops is the man. He is a real leader. No matter what Disney/Marvel is trying to paint him he will always be my favorite Marvel superhero!

    Dude. Thank you for finally saying it. Cyclops has been so bloody underrated in the movies it's actually insulting. He is and always will be my favorite X-man of all time.

  • @ObaREX

    Cyclops is the man!
    Ok, he just is! He is the most relentless X-man, but everyone shits on him because he doesn't like to show too much emotion. But then they love Batman (I love Batman).
    I dunno... Logan is cool and all but after actually reading X-men comics, Scott Summers became my clear favorite.
    Once more: Cyclops is the man.
    So Marvel, stop trying to make everyone hate him.

    • @ObaREX
      @ObaREX 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Manuel Sacha What's even dumber is that if you actually read the comics, Logan's love for Jean just comes off as out of character. He's had many romantic encounters but he never seemed like the type to chase after someone who had no true interest in him. The only time they ever hooked up was when Jean was using him to piss of Scott. That alone would normally force Logan to give anyone else a stern talking to. The fact that he kept trying after Jean was married was also just odd. And then after he death, he acts like a complete child whenever he brings her up. Even watching Scott sleep (next to Emma) and when he wakes up, trying to get in a fight with him as if Scott's doing anything wrong.

    • @ObaREX
      @ObaREX 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Manuel Sacha Scott's low moments were seriously just out of character. But I see what you mean.
      Though, him mentally cheating on Jean was not his fault. For one, Emma tricked him. He had no idea what was going on until it was too late. And yet, everyone forgives Emma for it because "she's in love with him" but no one forgives Scott because everyone has to shit on Scott for every moment of weakness he shows.
      Now, ditching his wife and baby... that was just low. I know the writers tried to rectify it because at the end of the day, it was super out of character but they really just needed him to rejoin the team... but it was a mess.

      +Jose G (Joe) That's because he's always written as a giant tool. Who likes the dude who always tattles to the teacher AND is rewarded with being in command all the time in return? For this team of oddballs and such, he's way too pretty boy football star, no matter how much they delve into his family history. It's his curse of being the leader.

      Nicely said!!! I agree and think Cyclops should be #1 on this list.
      To add, Beast (Hank) should be #2 and is also underrated but a constant "Brains & Brawn" of any X-Men team.

      @RenjiMaili 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Cyclops will never get the respect he deserves from writers. Or from Marvel. Secret Wars? Give Summers the the Pheniox and build it up then let him die before the conflict gets into full swing, not in a heroic display but in a "Cyclops is a douche." moment. New universe? Let the Inhumans kill him off.

      (if it's not obvious, I imagine these as being Cyclops' version of the emoji's you used in your comment, one being the single visor and the other being the red X mask)

  • @Macephtopheles
    @Macephtopheles 8 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I'd say Iceman is easily the most underrated X-Men character. He's usually just thought of as Spider-Man or the Human Torch's friend and, sadly, a lot of writers just tend to write him as the comedic relief of the group when he's one of the few legitimate Omega Level mutants in the group yet he's generally portrayed as a side line.

    • @JBFranny
      @JBFranny 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Iceman is an Omega mutant... AND THEy JUST MADE HIM GAY.
      HES ANYTHING BUT UNDERRATED

    • @Macephtopheles
      @Macephtopheles 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Javarni Francis I know he's an Omega mutant. I literally stated that. And how many story arcs are focused around Iceman? Look at the other Omega mutants who feature regularly in the comics. Jean Grey. *LOADS* of stories were focused around her. Hope Summers. She's had more arcs and entire crossovers focused on her in the short time she's been around than Iceman has had since 1963. Iceman is always just a part of the stories, never the story.
      And the gay Iceman is the young Iceman brought from the past into the present day. It's just their way of changing him. Like how they gave Angel cosmic powered fire wings and Jean Grey can manifest her powers into psychokinetic energy and transform herself into raw psychic energy. The "mainstream" Iceman is still straight. And no doubt going to remain a bit part player in stories.
      Having an Omega mutant in the ranks and never making him the focus of stories is pretty much the definition of an underrated character.

      After reading that part in your comment "......Spider-Man or the Human Torch", I thought about the animated tv show with Spider-Man, Firestar and Iceman: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

    • @Macephtopheles
      @Macephtopheles 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    "So, Plan B?"
    Cyclops: "Not Plan B. Plan 2. Plan B implies I only have 26"
    Cyke is a boss and the best X-man bar none. Most powerful? No. Most popular in and out of universe? Nope. But as a strategist and leader of not just the X-men but of his entire race, he has done more to ensure his species survival against literally everything out to kill them than any other superheroes, or even Xavier.

  • @rishurajput9221

    Hope Cyclops gets a bigger role in the x men movies. He is the leader of the x men team. But he never got a good role in the x men movies. They just need a find a good actor to play the role. Also the director need the role give a chance.

    THANK YOU! Cyclops is the fucking man! its a shame he doesn't get shown as such in any other medium besides the comics! I know his fans can be a bit much, but i swear the only time cyclops was shown in a cool light was X MEN EVOLUTION! (him v juggernaut and him reuniting with his brother, also him being played with by mystique) and thats coz they took a back seat with wolverine.
    I feel your frustration man, i do.

    Cyclops really is underrated, especially in the movies. He really needs to be the new leading man in the films seeing as Wolverine is now gone. Don't get me wrong. I love Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, but Cyclops unfairly got sidelined all those movies in favor of Wolverine. They should of balanced them out as the two separate leads like how they successfully do with Cap. & Iron Man on the Avengers.

  • @mitchlacasse361
    @mitchlacasse361 8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I'm glad to see all the Cyclops love in the comments. He really is the most underrated X-man. The movies treat him like a bitch. If Marvel/Disney had the X-Men rights, you can bet that their version of Cyclops would be as bad ass as Captain America, which, he is.

    • @shathriel
      @shathriel 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Used to collect the comics back in the late 80s to late 90s and Cyke was one of the few if only Xmen to take on and trash the super sentinel the Master Mold all by himself, was the best leader of the Xmen back when it was really good, before all the messed up timelines, back from the dead stuff etc.,

      @hugosz283 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +The RED Samurai Whoa, whoa, Wolverine fought in 2 world wars and other conflicts, has had his personal life destoryed dozens on times for the past almost 150 years, almost became a mindless machine for slaughter against his will and you're saying Cyclops is the tragic character while on the team ? I would consider being dead inside a little more tragic.

    • @oatmat
      @oatmat 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I never said Wolverine wasn't tragic dude, I would argue Cyclops is more though because we never see Wolverine do those things, we know they happen but never really see those moments as a singular story. but as comic book readers we see Cyclops life from when he was 14 to his mid 30's and all the tragedy that took place. For me though Wolverine and Cyclops are very similar in certain ways though,(also different personalities but have similar histories if you think about it)

      How is Cyclops an underdog? He's been the leader of the X-Men, one of the (if not the) most important groups in all Marvel comics. How on Earth could you consider someone at the helm of such an elite squad to be an underdog? Maybe you don't know what the word actually means.

  • @jaimemora9613

  • @nickfruscello
    @nickfruscello 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You have no idea how much it pleases me to hear someone speak the truth about Cyclops. I got into an argument with some "wonderful people" that created a top 10 X-Men list on another channel and left Cyke off the list. It had Bishop, Gambit, and Nightcrawler, but no Cyclops! How?! Every major X-Men story has to do with Scott, Jean, Scott and Jean or their kids. I argued that leaving off Scott on a top 10 X-Men list is like leaving Captain America off a top 10 Avengers list and they said that he probably would NOT be on that list also. Absolute non-sense. Thank you for speaking the truth!

  • @paologuerrero1388

    Mine would be
    1) Cyclops - Best leader you can find but so underrated. He got powerful ability(not the best) but the movies, games keep making him look like a weak X-Man.
    2) ForgetMeNot(People really forgot about him, no one mentioned him here lol). He rarely appeared on the comics.He got a passive mutant ability that if you lost your attention to him then bam, you forget his existence even your memories of him. Despite all of that, he still helped the team. Well there's quite a few who can remember him. Despite all of that, he still helped the team quite a few times. Who knows, he might still be an X-Man :D.
    3) Forge - he got underrated power.
    4) Mimic - As C.A. said.
    5) Cypher
    My honorable mention:
    Multiply Man, Dazzler, Polaris, Havoc, Sunfire, Collosus, Angel.

    • @BenJohnson0531

      ah Cipher. I remember when he first came up the mutant power to speak languages was so stupid they killed him off pretty quickly.
      Then Selene brought him back with a massive power boost during the Necrosha story arch. Apparently the ability to read languages also included body language and predicting patterns on the battle field because he pretty much took out everyone.

  • @CentipedeDamascus
    @CentipedeDamascus 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Personally, I think one of the most underrated X-Men out there is Rachel Grey. She's like a much more interesting version of Jean Grey. Anger issues, a tendency to go off half-cocked, and survivor's guilt, plus her punk rock aesthetic. I don't think anyone's really written her well since Claremont and Davis, and it is a crying shame.

    • @CAM8689
      @CAM8689 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      @ObaREX 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Nick Hall Rachel isn't underrated. Everyone loves her and no one gives her that much hate. I think she's great, but her character development is pretty much done. I mean, her anger issues are hardly a problem anymore.

    • @darthonyx2382
      @darthonyx2382 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rachel fans always use Jean to uplift her irrelevancy! What more interesting her copying of her mother's powers, codenames, and costumes?! Or the retreads of Jean Grey's history to elicit some emotional response?
      The only "interesting" things about Rachel Grey/Summers, surname dependent on if she's angry with Scott, is her former status as a hound, and her time as Mother Askani!
      She's spent the majority of her time as a Jean Grey replacement, meaning only in use when Jean is unavailable, what should have been done years ago to differentiate her from her mother was joining X-force but no writer wants to use her!
      It should be telling that a younger version of Jean Grey is STILL more popular and relevant than Rachel whose been in use by multiple writer even before Jean "died"!

    It's great to see another person that sees worth in Cyclops . The movies haven't expanded his capabilities which is a reason why people don't see him as a productive member of the X-Men . But not only is he a excellent leader but also a icon that stands up for the whole human race . And other great thing about him is his development in the comics , he's went from a hero to a villian , and a anti-hero .

    @pious83 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I liked the reasoning given behind getting rid of Sunfire (and Thunderbird) from the Second Genesis team was because they were deemed "too political". Yet having a Russian in the team during the Cold War wasn't..for some reason???

    • @EpickEmpire
      @EpickEmpire 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Colossus wasn't going on and on about how anti-American or anti-white he was. Sunfire and Thunderbird were. they were almost staunch about it! So they had to go.

    • @pious83
      @pious83 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The thing is when it comes to Sunfire, his attitude is more or less along the same lines as Namor, regarding his arrogance and self-confidence. Namor eventually found a niche in The Illuminati, Sunfire hasn't been that lucky to find a writer that utilizes him. I suppose the main thing about him is his origin clearly states he is a child of Hiroshima, so that political angle is always clear and present.
      Thunderbird is an interesting case. Yes from his brief dialogue he was very anti-white. Clearly someone who held a grudge over the treatment of his people, akin to Magneto. Yet that clear yearning he had to prove his worth, his value (which ultimately cost him his life) is something that a modern writer would craft a protagonist out of. With only two/three issues to his name, I think they too hasty to discard him and in all honesty, I found him far more interesting in Giant Size X-Men than Collosus. A character who apart from an interesting visual, I have always found extremely dull.

    • @EpickEmpire
      @EpickEmpire 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes. Thunderbird had a lot to prove and really didn't get much time to shine. In fact, i think he was only in the Giant Size X-Men and that one issue that followed where they fought Count Nefaria and he died. And, unlike other characters, he STAYED dead. But his death brought about the motivation for Warpath to join into the ranks. Really, I feel like they just weren't sure of what to do with Thunderbird, so they reworked him a little bit and then re-introduced him as Warpath. I mean, they have nearly identical powers and almost the same costume? But at least Thunderbird got to be on a couple of episodes of Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends. So he's not completely wiped from X-Men lore, unlike Thunderbird II, Neal Sharra (or whatever his name was)

    • @pious83
      @pious83 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Syko Cyclone That is unusual. People often talk about how no one is comics stays dead but Thunderbird is one of a handful in X-Men that has done so for decades.
      Although in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, they gave Thunderbird shape shifting powers, for some reason??
      Personally I'm glad that Thunderbird II has vanished. The less said or referenced about that Claremont Era (with X-Treme X-Men, the Neo, the Goth etc) the better...

    • @RealCoolGuy
      @RealCoolGuy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They resurrected Thunderbird back in the '80s...they just call him Warpath and say he's his younger brother. No need to resurrect someone when you have a character that is exactly the same.

  • @sephirothjc

    Rhane Sinclair was always my favorite. I had a huge crush on her when I was young. Her powers were weak, but so were most of the New Mutants. That was kind of the point of the team. They were all just barely super and always in way over their heads. And of the New Mutants, hers was the best character arc. Hell, hers was my favorite of any comic book character.

    In the movies, I think the most underrated is Quicksilver because he could do a lot more more than what he does for them. He could solve pretty much every situation. Plus, he doesn't get thanked for saving the entire academy in XMA.

    The X Men without Cyclops are like a hamburguer or fries without lots of ketchup. You just know something is missing, something ist not right, and it just doest taste (work) the way it should be.
    Ciclops is the essence of the X Men books. The teams are not the same without Cyclops leading them.
    I'm glad they are bringing him back. Now the X Men books will feel like real X Men book.

    Fully agree about Cyclops. He's basically the Captain America of the X-men and yet the movies and recently cartoons, completely shit on him.

  • @thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688
    @thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I normally don't care enough to respond to people's opinions, but I took umbrage at being told I'm wrong for not liking Cyclops. Cyclops isn't even the best Summers. {Summers Family Pecking Order: 1. Nathan, 2. Alex, 3. Christopher, 4. Rachel, 5. Gabriel, 6. Hope, 7. Ruby, 8. Scott} In fact Wolfsbane is the only character I agree belongs on this list. I will give you that X-Statix is awesome and underrated, but I am not a fan of substituting in a team in a list that is billed as a list of characters. Anyway, here's my list:
    1. Sage (Most people probably don't even remember Sage, but she's so awesome that her arc ended with her evolving to take the place of the multiversal gods. And we're talking about someone who started out with essentially a computer brain which allowed her to remember literally everything with perfect recall, gave her crazy perfect control of her physical body, and effectively super charged all her latent human abilities and capabilities.)
    2. Cypher (Yeah, I know... I wouldn't be psyched about him backing me up in a fight either, but his power is one of the only X-Men powers that would have any real world application, and its real world application would be huge.)
    3. Chamber (I always thought Jonothan Starsmore was going to be the next Nathan Summers, but people never caught on. He's a massive chamber of psionic energy. He has strange ties to Apocalypse. His look is awesome because it adds to the mystique of how he became an X-Man both in obviously being the result of his powers and keeping the tradition of the double edged sword of mutant powers that is in so many ways one of the pillars of X-Men lore.)
    4. Darwin (Darwin can be anything, and I think that's why he never became a thing. Kinda like Morph - yeah I would have made that joke, too. He has a powerset that makes him a match for anyone - no matter what lies X-Men First Class tells you about Sebastian Shaw - and back to a point I made earlier about the abilities of Cypher, his powers would actually serve everyday functions. This is witnessed by the fact that - much like Morph - he evolved to be white in order to fit in. I want to make sure no one takes that the wrong way. I only used that as an example because it shows that his abilities have applications off the battlefield.)
    5. Wolfsbane (Since I agreed with you she belonged on the list, I'll just add that you missed what I think is the best justification for her being on the list. Rahne Sinclair is the love interest of Hrimhari, The Wolf Prince of Asgard, and the mother of his child. Which means that our children will be reading X-Men comics featuring an even cooler version of her that hopefully will get more love.)
    Mainly my arguments are that the characters you listed get plenty of love. Mimic has been brought back in a number of interesting ways over the years (his role in Dark X-Men was fun, and the version of him in Exiles was badass), and he's the X-Men Universe's perpetual underdog. I could say basically the exact same thing about Sunfire, since he was also in Exiles and has been brought back recently for some cool stuff. Cyclops isn't a bad character. I actually agree that he's a great character. He's such a great character that he has polarized audiences. Pro/Anti Cyclops is like Pro/Anti Superman. It means something. It places you in the fandom, and it is the mark of the pinnacle of fame when there is no one left who is on the fence about you. Scott Summers wears "I Heart Haters" undies. You don't get to be the leader of the X-Men by succumbing to peer pressure.

    • @thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688
      @thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Manuel Sacha First off, opinions are neither right nor wrong. Second, Cyclops couldn't even beat Callisto because there wasn't enough sunlight, and Storm beat her without her powers. Third, Ruby Summers appears in the Madrox-heavy recent run of X-Factor. Fourth, Cable uses more power to hold back the techno-organic virus limiting his power than Cyclops has available to him on a good day. Fifth, you clearly haven't read nearly enough comics about Cable or Corsair. Sixth, I will concede that Rachel and Vulcan at least as cool as Corsair. Seventh, no I was never a fan of Cable & Deadpool, and even if I had been a fan of it why would you equate that to Michael Bay? Lastly, I notice that while I have reasons for liking the characters I like, you have ad homs against people whom you disagree with.

    • @digitalbuddhancsu1862
      @digitalbuddhancsu1862 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude, Gabe is wayyy too low on that list if you are talking about power. The dude is easily the strongest Summers brother and is only outshined by X Man. None of the other Summers/Grey clones came close to being as powerful as Gabriel Summers, who basically controls all forms of energy.

    • @thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688
      @thesaurusakasickakatheomc7688 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      X-Man is only technically canon. Other than that, you are 100% correct. I put Gabe lower on the list because it was a list of "best characters". If it had been a list of most powerful characters, I would have placed him higher. Obviously.
      And if Vulcan can control ALL forms of energy, what makes you think he couldn't take X-Man? All of X-Man's powers are energy based.
