In case you're fuzzy on it, Cyclops is the X-Men character that shoots a beam of pinkish-purple light out of his eyes. His real name is Scott Summers and he's a very interesting character. I'm convinced he's gay. So is Brian's roommate Brian's boyfriend, Scott, who in case you couldn't guess, is gay. Brian simply won't accept it. "But he's married to Jean Grey, and she's just about as sexy as female comic book characters get and still are fully clothed!" So he's married to some really sexy comic book chick. Big deal. It's a cover. She's probably a lesbian. Scott agreed with that too.

My reason? He's a big, muscular comic character. In the video game he's got several different colored costumes...one is, and I quote Scott so it doesn't sound like I'm a terrible, gay-bashing person..."a very fruity teal". But it is one of the coolest costumes I've ever seen. Also in the game, every time he pops onto the screen he gives a big hearty "Yes!". Very Captain America of him, don't you agree? So at the very least, he's a really fruity person.

Another reason is that he took FOREVER to ask Jean Grey out. I did my research and found out that it was almost 60 issues of the comic until they STARTED a relationship and almost 300 until marriage. Considering the fact that they 'liked' each other from issue 1, AND that Jean Grey is a super-powerful psychic, don't you think it should have taken less time? Brian says "He's shy.", I say "He's trying to appear straight without the commitment, but he couldn't avoid it forever.

Another reason? Jean Grey had her choice of men...Cyclops or Wolverine. As for Wolverine: he's almost certainly straight, he's VERY cool, and he worships the ground Jean Grey walks on. If I was Jean Grey, I probably would have chosen Wolverine, but that's just my opinion. Cyclops is a little too fruity. Wolverine is a little hairy and he's got some violent tendencies that need to be addressed by a professional, but he's quick-witted and passionate. Cyclops says stuff like "Let's hit 'em hard and fast" while Wolverine's quotes are more along the lines of "Tell Cyclops I made him a convertible" (after tearing the entire roof off of Cyclops' car because Jean Grey chose him instead of Wolverine. That woman absolutely TROD on poor Wolverine's heart but he STILL loved her). I personally think Cyclops had a crush on Wolverine.

But if I REALLY were Jean Grey I would have turned evil and just gone for Magneto. He's the sexiest evil mutant that was every created. He's gigantic, but he's more like a James Bond villian than any other comic character I can think of. He's well groomed, extremely intelligent, and he's completely insane. Not in the strange drooling and muttering sense, but in that 'take over the world' sense. That's very sexy in the James Bond villian way.

Granted, Magneto is evil, and he does kill tons of people every time he shows up, but he's got style. I don't mean fashion sense either...purple and red isn't the best combinations I can think of. But he's just cool. In the video game, he says "Play time has ended" all slow and cool. I'll try and get a wav of it so you can hear. He has some wicked cool moves too.

Brian thinks I have a problem, and I think he takes it personally that Cyclops has been forcefully outed by Scott and myself. He'll get over it. ;)
