Prelate Cyclops (Wolverine and the X-Men)

Cyclops or Prelate Cyclops, is a supporting antagonist in Wolverine and the X-Men. He is a dark twisted future evil version of the main Cyclops in the series.

Like his heroic counterpart, he was voiced by Nolan North, who also voiced the Living Laser, Chemistro and Scientist Supreme in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Hades in God of War, Penguin, Black Mask and KGBeast in the Batman: Arkham series, teenage Brad Chiles in Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, Martin Walker in Spec Ops: The Line and David in The Last of Us.

History[]

His past might be similar to the heroic Cyclops, except a few differences being he is shown to lost his left eye, possibly due to a feud with Wolverine and has long hair, and may have lost Jean Grey.

Cyclops afterwards became a loner, and depressed possibly due to losing Jean Grey similar to the heroic Cyclops counterpart.

Despite his past encounters with Sinister, he, possibly out of desperation, went to him for guidance. Sinister at some point allowed Cyclops to join his crusade,

Cyclops would also learn of his brother Alex Summers aka Havok, was with Sinister after they were separated at childhood, the two finally reunited. However their relationship was a bit strained, as Havok was more reckless than his brother and even expressed jealously as Sinister favored Cyclops, and even to a degree, placing him as War, leader of the horsemen of apocalypse.

Apocalypse saw a great deal of promise within Cyclops where he enlisted him in his prelate branch, becoming Prelate Cyclops, which was considered to be the elite portion of Apocalypse's army, making his most trustee ally.

Cyclops along with Sinister and Apocalypse and others who allied with them, managed to take over the Earth, possibly decimating the MRD, Humans, and even the X-Men.

One night, during a city wide conference, Sinister and Cyclops were seen emerging from one of the pyramids, while Cyclops looked sterned and emotionless, Sinister reacted in a sadistic glee, and looked towards Cyclops, to see his efforts come to light. and Apocalypse arrives where he greets the mutants with raising his hands into the air.

Charles Xavier would warn the X-Men of the past of this predicament, and possibly even warning them of the evil Cyclops.

Appearance[]

Cyclops has a slender build, wearing a blue jumpsuit, with a golden armor strap, and armored wrist and ankle covers. He has long extended hair and two facial battle scars.

Personality[]

Not much is shown of this Cyclops, but in the several appearances in the final episode of WAXTM, and several scripts it is shown that he appears to be strict, harsh, and resentful. Despite seeing all of his own kind altogether, he looks displeased, possibly due to how he managed to get all of the mutants live in harmony. It is also shown, that he looks very uncomfortable around Sinister, possibly still holding resentment to him in the past, indicating that he was forced to do a lot unspoken and violent acts to get where he is now.

Trivia[]

This is the first Evil Cyclops to be shown on screen.
This Cyclops is loosely based on the Age of Apocalypse Comic Adaptation.
In the comics, Cyclops was the leader of the horse raiders, who were the future Horsemen of Apocalypse and got to grow up with his brother Havok, who was also set to appear in the second season, and has already been affiliated with Sinister according to the season 2 scripts.
Cyclops would eventually turn on Apocalypse, Sinister and Havok upon learning the mutants that Sinister was imprisoning were being used for breeding pens, and even rescued them including a child (whom he didn't at the know was his son at the time) named "Nate".
In the comic, the AOA Cyclops received his facial wounds from Wolverine, whom was his archenemy and no doubt this version would've received the same, however given the show's audience was for children it is unknown how censors would've shown Cyclops's receiving his scars from Wolverine of the AOA universe.
In several interviews on various talk pages, Cyclops's origin here was entirely different than in the comics, rather than him and his brother Havok, being adopted by Sinister like the comics, instead they were going to have him go to Sinister when he went through a very harsh time in his life.
In a scrapped episode in season 2, Xavier would learn of Cyclops being a Prelate, and would've contacted Wolverine from the future, and tried to warn him that Scott in the future will become a member of the Horsemen of Apocalypse, however he would meet Weapon X, a barbaric version of Wolverine after being locked in a deadly combative fight with Cyclops who blasted his left arm.
