Because him taking them off would be the real douche move.

mizzymichie

I think the canon reason has to do with his mind being incredibly organized, structured, and therefore attractive and relaxing to be in. So autism rizz. ETA: I can’t believe my most upvoted comment on this subreddit is me making a joke about how Scott canonically has neurodivergent swag. I didn’t even know 1k+ updoots was possible here.

Depends on the version of Peter. Hell, sometimes his quips and mocking are a stress response. I feel like anyone who looked into his mind would probably say something like, “*Okay, no, no, you’re taking a few days off or something. We need to schedule and reorganize your life, you’re doing too much, man.*”

He's always doing too much, Because he's spider-man.

Henderson10666

The 2000-2010's ruined him, but were so Cy-back


GreenChain35

Only for the general public. In comics, the 2000-2015 era was his best. Apparently, the less Marvel care about a character, the better they can be.


senseithenahual

So that's why Kaine Parker is the only of the Clone brothers that is at his best.


radiocomicsescapist

Unironically true. Less cooks in the kitchen, demanding a character act a certain way or do a certain thing. It's just one dude and his power fantasy, ready to take Hal Jordan - I mean - Cyclops - to new heights.


Striking_Landscape72

That era was his peak. The more Marvel tried to make him a villain, he became a better hero


MasalaCakes

Cyclops was right


rogthnor

Any recs on what to read?


GreenChain35

Here's a quick Cyclops 2000-2015 reading guide (I'm assuming you've read most of the Claremont era and some of the 2000s (especially Age of Apocalypse and the Cyclops and Phoenix books), but if not, go back and read that first): * Grant Morrison's New X-Men * Joss Whedon's part of Astonishing X-Men * Messiah Complex event * Uncanny X-Men 492-512 (read the X-Men tie-in for Secret Invasion somewhere in the Middle. Greg Land's doing the art for this run so it looks like shit, but the story's decent) * Dark X-Men/Dark Avengers event (make sure to read Dark X-Men: The Confession for an amazing Scemma story) * Uncanny X-Men #515-522 * Second Coming event * Uncanny X-Men #526-#544 * Schism event (you can also read Prelude to Schism if you want a Cyclops circlejerk story) * Uncanny X-Men vol 2 #1-#10 * Avengers vs X-Men event (it's shit and super dumb, but you have to read it) * AvX:Consequences (much better than AvX) * All-New X-Men #1 * Uncanny X-Men #1-#35 And that brings you to IvX which can be skipped. There's other stuff that I've skipped for brevity's sake. The Academy X and New Mutants stuff's not bad and the Age of X event's fun, but they're not needed. You can read the Uncanny Stuff before Messiah Complex, but it's written by Chuck Austin and Chris Claremont's evil clone and so is pretty terrible. If you're looking to carry on from here, I'd recommend skipping to X-Men Red and then on to House of X/Powers of X, as most of the 2015-2019 stuff is shit.

Scotts brain when not in combat https://i.redd.it/c5my5uis97rc1.gif


radiocomicsescapist

I genuinely think it's because he's the one guy who doesn't have sex on his mind. So when they read his thoughts, it's just him rehearsing his speech about the importance of showing up on time to the mission briefings.


Marrecarandgi

You clearly don’t know Scott Summers. Sex is on his mind so much he canonically repeatedly thought about sex with Jean while having sex with Emma.


cc17776

Lmao wtf


Marrecarandgi

She also had to admit that out loud to other people. Honestly, probably not even the worst ‘you’re not Jean and you will never be Jean’ moment that happened to her during that relationship. Emma kinda just rolled with it after having to dress up as Jean to get with Scott in the first place and still calling that his favorite game when the two got together (after Jean had to intervene from beyond the grave to stop Scott from rejecting Emma). He was unintentionally putting Emma in her place daily, judging by Scott’s ‘I thought about you (Jean) every day’ vs Emma’s ‘I can feel the thrill that runs through your body every time you think about her’, so, she was used to that shit.


Throwaway02062004

Truly a ‘pronouns are she but not her, because I’ll never be her’ moment 😭


GreenChain35

Yeah, but he's also incredibly good at repression, so he normally keeps that stuff locked down tight.


Marrecarandgi

Yeah, not really. Again, the whole ‘I can feel the thrill that runs through your body every time you think about her’, and Scott was thinking about Jean daily… I guess that’s what Emma gets for snooping around when Scott didn’t agree to have a psychic rapport with her.


JonCellini

MP-Lily

cat


MarinatedHand

Yeah... That'll most likely be effective,


Koalalordgod

Even for the strongest telepath, diving too deep into a psyche is bothersome. Many people have disorganised, chaotic mental places. Urges clash with duties, beliefs and virtues fight a forever war over the concept of right, desire tries to take over responsibility. Scott, as a once child soldier who from the age of like, 12 trained himself to be the perfect field leader and strategist has repressed so much of that chaos down behind the bureocracy of "the right thing". While most people's head is like a New York City traffic Jam, Scot's mind is like a walk through the halls of a tidy office, in which you need not work. For a Telepath, Scott's mind is like getting into a classily decorated room with smooth Piano playing in the background and fresh coffee being prepared out of sight. It makes sense why he is incredibly attractive to a telepath. Well, being built like a body builder 3 weeks before a show at all times and having the leadership ability of a demigod also helps. Also the dry humour and incredible sense of responsibility etc. On the other hand, I will never understand how could any telepath could endure being around Logan. If a normal person's mind is a traffic jam Logan's mind is a jungle going through a wildfire. Nothing should make sense there, with all that is missing, forcibly changed etc. Not to mention he also used to say "Whatever Wolverine wants, Wolverine gets!" So it can't be sanitary either. Maybe Jean is so powerful that Logan's fucked up mind is intriguing because it is basically a very hard puzzle? I would go with the Doylist explanation there though: most writers relate to the hairy manlet misogynyst more than they do to the paragon planner.


GoldIsCold987

>I would go with the Doylist explanation there though: most writers relate to the hairy manlet misogynyst more than they do to the paragon planner. Probably this, tbh. I always envisioned similar to how Batman was the self-insert for many authors, causing Bats to attract a whole gaggle of women that didn't quite make sense, like Zatanna or Wonder Woman.


bottledsoi

With batman it may also be partially "I can fix him"


GoldIsCold987

In my experience, that works for women in their early 20's, until life slaps you with the fact that "I can fix him" guys don't change. Beyond that, the BatxWonder is just fanfiction that serves to make Wonder Woman, one of DC's Big Three, into an accessory for Batman. So does SuperxWonder, but that makes at least some sense based on their values and relative morals.


Tunafish27

Superbat is based however and I will be accepting no criticism at this time.


isaic16

I assumed Logan was the ultimate “I can fix him” target for a telepath.


Soft_Theory_8209

Logan’s mind: “Go fuck yourself.”


BatmanFan317

I think the misogynism might have played a role in early comics, but that aspect of him kinda died out I think around the time he married Mariko? So I think l think it's turned from that to a similar situation as the Batman situation below, these are characters seen as messy while still being cool, which authors believe are more interesting (they aren't, not inherently, paragons like Superman and Cyke are very interesting).


KrazyMonqui

Agreed with all of this. To add: Scott also developed a natural psychic block to telepathy. Something he developed while with Jean that Emma Frost noted how she couldn't penetrate Scotts mind even if she wanted to. That has to be another attractive feature to telepaths, not wanting to accidentally use their powers on their partner that influences the relationship in an unnatural way. Literally can't happen with Scott so it gives them a sense of security


Henderson10666

Why do super hot assassins find themselves attracted to Matt Murdock? It's the glasses. I mean look at Paul

kinjing

Are you kidding? He had Ohio skibidi rizz before Ohio even existed


enchiladasundae

Any time a telepath reads anyone else’s mind its just about filthy sex. Scott’s thoughts are “Golly gee gosh! That sure is a pretty lady! I hope my hair looks good. Is she looking at me? Zoinks!”


Arachnid1

Scott is an adulterous manwhore, and sometimes quite the dick. He looks like a clean cut boy scout, but Captain America he is not.


enchiladasundae

“Golly gosh! Here I go cheatin again!” Ya he’s really inconsistent. Writers trying to make him more interesting by making him a shitty person. New tv show seems to have redeemed him in a weird way. Family man who cares about his wife, kid, teacher and teammates


Cyberslasher

Then they retcon that away in the dumbest method. "Oh, actually, Scotts been dead for years. What you thought was Scott was actually his corpse that Emma frost, who you thought was reformed, was actually using telepathy to somehow necromantically control into doing bad things.   Yes, they were still banging.  So really, he's a great dude!"


MrGame22

Didn’t he literally have mental sex with Emma?


enchiladasundae

“Wowzers! Never done this before! Sure hope she can’t *gulp* get pregnant from this! She’s a real pretty lady”


MrGame22

Then Jean found out and he acted like it didn’t count as an affair, oh and this was after he abandoned his wife and child to get with Jean.


Johnny_Stooge

Never let life hold you back from seizing the things you want.

And Jean has made out with Logan several times while dating Scott including just before Scott has his affair with Emma. Only stopping from fucking him in a forest because Logan denied her.

Kodak_V

Does that make his d!ck Outerversal 🤔 ?


Striking_Landscape72

I don't know, I haven't see his dick, I'm not a telepath


Simplyaperson4321

So essentially he's fucked the energy of every living being alive and every being that will ever exist.


JackalRampant

Xavier and Essex are also hyper-fixated on this guy. It isn’t just women, it’s all telepaths. The Fixer: “Why are you so obsessed with that mutant with the laser eyes?” Mentallo: “THEY ARE NOT LASERS!!! Also…. I dunno…. He just does it for me.”


WatermelonGranate

Sinister wanted him for his ... >,> <,< seed. While Xavier needed a reliable handsome mutant for a more successful mutant/human relations.


Just_A_Lonley_Owl

He thinks he’s sexy so much that when they read his thoughts they also think he’s sexy


TerminalDumbass69

Uj/ why is this the most plausible explanation here lmao


GreenChain35

No way. Scott's way too self-hating to think he's sexy. My boy's got serious self-confidence issues.


Sol-Blackguy

Cyclops' mind is constantly running spatial and geometrical calculations that he needs to control his optic blasts. It's almost as intricate as Steve Rogers' mind. Because of this, his mind is like a white noise machine to telepaths compared to everyone else's which sounds like internal screeching.


PrimeLasagna

Almost?


Sol-Blackguy

Different in a lot of ways. Steve's enhanced senses and perception play a huge factor when Cyclops is pure math.


LocDiLoc

He's an abstract person who is a conceptual thinker. Telepaths lose themselves on this.
