He’s been a leader and a revolutionary, a husband and a father, a hero and a villain–He’s Cyclops, the first X-Man. The many roles Scott Summers has played since his debut in 1963 have made him one of the X-Men and comics’ most complex characters. In honor of Slim’s full-fledged return from the dead in this week’s Uncanny X-Men Annual #1, AiPT! is proud to present: CYCLOPS WEEK! Jason: Who knew the Pantene Pro-V conditioner factory made it through the nightmarish hellscape that was the Age of Apocalypse? I like that “evil” Cyke managed to keep his blue-and-yellow color scheme regardless of what reality he’s in, and I dig his scaled down headgear (what with his missing eye and all), but he’s got the same haircut that half of the Emo girls I knew in college ditched when they discovered bangs. I’ve also never understood the concept of armor on one arm. Hoping all your foes strike from the left, eh, Scott? Still, this isn’t a bad look for the defining X-Men arc of the ’90s, I just think dude wouldn’t find his true aesthetic for another decade or so. Score 7/10 Fighting the urge to lift your visor and take a closer look at the blue and yellow suit in front of you, you lean in and inspect it more closely. It looks like it will fit well, but you are just not sure about the colors. True, they are a classic combination, but you don’t want to look too comic book-y.
Considering Greece’s proximity to and dependence on the sea, it comes as no surprise that Poseidon is one of the oldest of the Greek gods.Archeologists refer to the artifact as “God Killing the Cyclops.” One concluded that the cyclops-like monster is a “fire demon” because of the rays projecting from its head.
In addition, the Ojáncanu displayed a bizarre reproduction process. Instead of mating, they would take the guts out of a deceased Ojáncanu and strew them around the forest. Then, they would bury the rest of the Ojáncanu’s body under an oak or yew tree. 17 This adult Cyclops costume is a high quality costume designed by our expert costume designers and it will make you look like a real-life version of Polyphemus. The costume comes with a jumpsuit that has muscle padding in the chest, arms and legs. It also comes with a pair of gloves and a pair of boot covers to make your hands and feet look like bonafide cyclops hands. It also comes with a mask that has a giant eye on the front and a horn on the top. Put it all together, and you’ll be ready to show the world that you’re way cooler than Odysseus.O5-2) Young Cyclops's next costume was a primarily blue suit with a yellow 'X' in a circle on his chest. Lines extended out from the circle in the shape of a larger 'X' design, leading to yellow stripes down his outer arms and legs, leading to yellow boots and gloves. Some versions of this costume moved the yellow 'X' from the center of his chest to the left shoulder. [All-New X-Men (2nd series) #4] As the legend goes, Uranus took a disliking to his monster children, and he blamed Gaia for who they were. Thus, Uranus decided he would imprison them all in the Earth, which so happened to be their mother, Gaia. (By some accounts, this prison was Tartarus.) Jason: I know I badmouthed the close-domed suit of Cyke’s youth, but this is my second-favorite look in Cyclops’ more than 55-year publication history. There were a few variations of this one, including a version with a weird, spiky shoulder accessory, but the simple dark-blue, speed-skating outfit with gold piping is tops. I genuinely enjoy when my man goes casual and wears his hood down, but when he’s suited up, this is an outfit that definitely commands more respect than the pirate boots ever did. This is serious Cyclops–and serious Scott, is best Scott. Score: 9/10 The cyclops’ nightmarish behavior turned into a pattern, as every morning, he would leave the cave with the men trapped inside, then go tend his sheep, and then return in the evening to eat two more of Odysseus’ men. An Escape Plan
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 Eric: Bleh. This is just a generic, semi-badboy look with a clunky-looking metal arm. I’m bored. Score: 4/10 Chris: As this is the costume Cyclops wore on the ’90s animated series, it’s the look that defined the X-Men’s leader for a generation of fans. Don’t get me wrong, it can look pretty badass when drawn by Jim Lee or another dynamic penciler, but take a closer look and it suffers from ’90s pouch-and-strap mania. What does Scott keep in all those pouches? Why the leg straps? Seriously, what purpose do those serve? They keep your pants on tight? And how exactly does that half-mask go stay on his head? It’s an interesting update of the classic costume, but I’ll take that one any day of the week. Score: 7/10 Polyphemus awoke, screaming in agony. He screamed so loud that the other cyclopes on the island heard him. But when they called out to him, asking what is wrong, Polyphemus replied, “Nobody has harmed me.” Concluding that nothing was wrong, the other cyclopes did not come to his aid. 10The cyclopes possess the attribute of all-powerful brute strength, the kind that human beings can only aspire to. Skill In the 5th century BCE, another Greek poet, Euripides, was also inspired to write about the cyclopes. Euripides’ Cyclops was what was called a “satyr play” – a prelude to the modern-day satire. As the name implies, satyr plays included satyrs, the mythical half-man and half-goat creatures who enjoyed wine, merrymaking, and bawdy humor. Some say they were the more comical version of the brutish and dangerous centaurs. In Euripides’ version of the cyclopes story from The Odyssey, Polyphemus is far more clever, while the satyrs take on the role of the buffoons. 16 The Cyclops in Celtic Mythology: Ojáncanu Ojáncanu, the Celtic cyclops. Image: Errazking. For some, the cyclops also represents the power of the third eye, or our psychic abilities. In many cultures around the world, particularly those in the East, there is a concept that we process extra-sensory information through the crown and front of our heads. As in the love triangle between Polyphemus, Galatea, and Acis – the cyclops reminds us of the toxicity of jealousy and its destructiveness. Inhospitableness Not all cyclops-like creatures are malevolent toward human beings. The Japanese tell stories of enigmatic one-eyed creatures they call Hitotsume-kozō, which translates to “one-eyed boys.” Hitotsume-kozō are more mischievous than evil.

She only added a red belt and adjusted the yellow shirts so they no longer covered the entire upper body. [X-Men (1st series) #27] After the team had proved themselves in battle time and again, Xavier rewarded them with individualized costumes. This set was again designed by Jean, whom Xavier had secretly told of this plan before. Cyclops wore this rather simple outfit for the rest of his initial stint with the X-Men. [X-Men (1st series) #39] 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 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.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 Forrest: Nope. Nope. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Whoops. There’s way too much going on here. I’ve no doubt this costume was a nightmare for artists with all the over-the-top detailing and worst of all it doesn’t even look comfortable or that cool. The chafing! Take care of yourself, ‘Clops! Score: 1/10 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.
