9. Just like his fanboys, he always has an excuse lol

I believe the word your looking for is justification, and yes he is justified, you're right.

I would read a reboot, and I hope that All-New X-men starts that. I miss good ol' x-men and brotherhood beat downs, and cyclops not being the biggest douche in all of superdom.

Anyone else agree?

I'll never understand why people call cyclops a douche, he doesnt go around trying to take other teammates wives/girlfriends (wolverine/namor), doesn't tell people to let kids be kids and then try to kill a 16-yo girl (again wolverine), doesn't go around badmouthing one character for doing something then let everyone do it w/o complaint (beast). 

No, alls he does is lead a new species that has to face fear, hatred and potential mass murder lurking around every corner while promoting peaceful co-existence.  He's lost his wife (twice), had to give up his child (to save the baby from a virus with no known cure in modern times) and had to put up with all the BS from his teammates that I mentioned earlier in my post.  Now please, highlight which part of what he's done/doing that qualifies him as a "douche" I'm all ears.

Hahaha, okay, here's just a FEW reasons that Scott Summers is a douche:

1. He wears sunglasses at night

- ...facepalm

2. He ditches his wife and kid for his "true love"

- I'll give ya this one, but then again bad writing is bad writing

3. He ditches his "true love" for a blonde dominatrix

- you mean the redhead who whored herself out to his hairy midget teammate?  meh, seems fair

4. He manages to get more mutants killed under his watch than any other X-Man

5. Places kids in compromising situations

- you mean like training a bunch of teenagers who've been constantly attacked just for living so they had a fighting chance?  Yknow the same thing his mentor did to him and many MANY others and no one complained about it?

6. He beats his woman

- I guess a PF host counts as a woman, but that didnt stop Iron Man or Thor from trying to smack the same woman around either now did it?

7. Murders his father figuire in a tantrum

-it's spelled "figure" just fyi.  And that was Xavier intentionally calling out a dark pheonix, he knew what would happen.  Then again if the Avengers wouldnt have prodded the proverbial bull with a stick about a hundred times he wouldnt have gotten made nor had the full PF to begin with.

8. Believes that all of the above was "for the greater good."

-So, mutants shouldnt have come back? ok gotcha.

....what a douche.

Very well said Seaturke

Even though I want better changes for the X-Men Universe, I don't think I would want a reboot because that would mean that great stories like the Dark Phoenix Saga and Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men would have to be erased to make room for new versions on of the characters.
