though I also STRONGLY disagreed with Cyclops being removed - yes, he's much more a hero than a villain but his actions were no better, if not worse, than Magneto.. he used his optic beams to permanently brand enemies with X symbols and that alone is spitting on the very ideals of Xavier and the X-Men themselves.. Cyclops, no matter the reasoning, gave humans a reason to truly fear mutants and that's no better than a Brotherhood thug like Blob or Toad.

just because he redeemed himself again doesn't mean he was not at the bare minimum a Well Intentioned Extremist, if not downright Knight Templar, during that story-arc.
