2. Cyclops

X-Men - Marvel Comics

I’m deeply conflicted about Cyclops. On one hand, I’ve always found him to be annoying and kind of a jerk. On the other, the steadfast efforts by Jay and Miles as they worked to X-Plain the X-Men really brought me around.

But nothing could bring me around about his development post-Schism. Essentially, he and Wolverine had a philosophical difference of opinion over whether Mutant children should be used as soldiers in the war for Mutant rights, since they're children and all. Cyclops came down heavily on the side of We should keep throwing the bodies of Mutant children at problems until those problems solve themselves.

Cyclops later had a big ol' fight with the Avengers over whether a scared teenager could handle being possessed by a big fiery space bird. Instead, Cyclops was the one possessed by the space bird, and he murdered his mentor. Then a cloud killed Cyclops.

See what I mean? Conflicted.
