Cyclops is the most boring Xman and every time I see him topping a hero’s list I’m like, why. Why. Give me a mutant Canadian or devilish looking German any day.

Maybe I just don’t remember it but I don’t think there was ever a corresponding trend of articles about conservative parents cutting off their gay kids, which was a thing that absolutely happened en masse in the 90s and aughts as gay culture mainstreamed
