Cyclops, also known as Scott Summers, hasn’t been well-represented in the X-Men movies, to put it mildly. Many fans feel that 20th Century Fox significantly weakened the character. James Marsden did a great job playing him in four films between 2000 and 2014, but the movie version was a far cry from the powerful Cyclops comic book readers know and love.
This isn’t to diminish Marsden’s abilities; in fact, we’re about to see the full extent of his anger and powerful energy blasts, which is a frightening prospect for anyone nearby. Imagine a massive solar flare – that’s the kind of power he’ll be unleashing within a half-mile radius.
Fans are eagerly anticipating a major event in December 2026, but Marvel Comics is already joining the excitement with a new comic book series. Cyclops #1, featuring a revamped and intense version of the character, was released on February 11, 2026.

Cyclops No Longer Gives a Damn About Optics (Literally and Figuratively Speaking)
If you’re wondering what to expect from Cyclops #1, the press release says it all: “CYCLOPS UNLEASHED!” That’s exactly what fans want – a truly bold and unrestrained story.
The first issue of Cyclops is written by Alex Paknadel, with art assistance from Roge Antonio, Fer Sifuentes, Vc Joe Caramagna, and cover art by Federico Vicentini and Marcio Menyz. The story centers on Scott Summers, the X-Men’s leader, who finds himself stranded in the wilderness without his signature visor. This is a major problem, as his optic blasts destroy anything he looks at! He’ll need to rely on this dangerous ability when he’s pursued by the supervillain Donald Pierce, a cyborg leading an army of robotic killers known as the Reavers.
Cyclops is acting with a surprising level of violence, usually seen in characters like Wolverine. This darker side has always been part of him, but it’s never been fully explored in the movies. It seems the filmmakers deliberately toned it down to avoid stealing Wolverine’s spotlight, or for other reasons decided by the studio.
The first issue of Cyclops demonstrates Scott Summers at his most powerful and unforgiving, reminding everyone just what he’s capable of. Hopefully, Marvel Studios will allow the Russo Brothers and their planned Avengers: Doomsday project to showcase that same intensity. Early trailers suggest they will – finally – give him the chance to truly unleash his abilities.
