Part 1: Team Phoenix
In some Internet circle during the whole Jen/Brad/Angelina saga, some gals made t-shirts to show who they supported and thus "Team Aniston" shirts were spawned. Of course, there are clones like "Team Jolie", "Team Brangelina", "Team Lachey", "Team Lohan", etc.
As an X-fan girl, I'd rep "Team Phoenix." Mind you I love Emma Frost. She's the baddest bitch, has no qualms about her shady past, and what she'd do to you if you cross her. I'm on "Team Frost", but my problem is with Cyclops. I hate him.
Whenever I see two chick(enhead)s fighting over a guy, I all I can think is "Is he really worth it?" As for Cyclops, it's a definite no.
Like Rachel asks Havok in X-Men Unlimited #11 what Team Phoenix are thinking: Did Scott ever really love her? Maybe he should have taken some advice from Jay-Z, "Be an adult, have an affair and shit."
Cyke and Jean were the X-Men's Reed and Sue Richards. After they got married in X-Men #30,
we thought they would eventually settled down and start having all those kids from alternate/possible futures.
Sure, their lives are fucked up by this superpowered craziness, but love should keep them together. Instead now Reed and Sue have two kids, and Cyke's fucking the Emma "X-Bike becuase everybody's had a ride" Frost.
Maybe Scott isn't as jaded as the rest of us to believe that Jean won't come back, but we readers know mutants are N.E.R.D. like Pharrell, Chad, and that other guy. Just ask Colussus and Psylocke. Even Emma was MIA (okay, so she was in a coma).
By now we all know Jean's death equals "free to fuck some other broad" cards. The writers don't have the intestinal fortitude to make Cyclops a bad guy and have him willfully cheat on his wife, so they get rid of the wife.
Sure, it's not the first time Cyclops has shacked up with a broad while Jean's pushing up daisies. He married Madelyn Pryor.
He's not like Wolvie, Kurt, and Gambit, who have no problem lovin' 'em & leavin' 'em. These dudes keep moving on, but Scott gets tied down.
But why Emma Frost?
Part 2: Cyclops is into BDSM
Most of the ladies in Scott Summers life fit into a simple pattern: red-headed Jean Grey look-a-likes or sexy psi-talents.
The first group is obvious, so let's move on to the second group. Excluding their powers, they don't have much in common - the girl next door, the dragon lady, and the ice -oops, I mean diamond queen.
Their powers may have different facets, but at the most basic level they all share telepathy. What could be so sexually appealling about this power? Maybe Scott wants to know what it feels like to "get served by her while she's serving me" (my apologies to Common). Or just what it feels like for a girl to borrow from Madonna.
On the outside, all three seem cold and aloof, but there are hints they are freaks.
Psylocke's costume is a bathing suit, but the freaky detail are those strips up and down her legs. Is she into bondage? Well, she is British.
Jean's dark side was first shown when she was seduced into being the Hellfire Club's Black Queen. Just check out her corset, garters, and fishnets. And we all know when Emma first turned up at. Even Maddie got turned out as the Goblin Queen. So there's your S & M.
Who knows what scenarios go down in Cyclops' sick mind. When his costume covers his head , it makes him look like a gimp.
It's always the leader types that like to be dominated. It's their way to release a little pressure off of their shoulders. I don't even want to look to closely at Cyke's relationship with Professor X.

this was way more analysis than I ever wanted to see... but I couldn't look away!
You are nearly approcahing the point where the X-Men make sense.
(observation: Emma fans hate the fact she's with Scott, Scott fans hate the fact she's with Emma.)
Honestly, I think Cyke really wants to test the waters out there but for some reason is so stuck on Jean the women he falls in *lust* with somehow share some kind of common trait as you mentioned..heck any dude with power eyesight gotta be a closet freak..plus you know how they always have him exude this pseudo-good dude monogamous type attitude we know is pretty much fake..
It always bugs me that Cyke never sat down and said "Why do I always end up with telepaths? Jean? Psylocke? Madelyne? Emma? Am I weak-willed like a Stormtrooper?"
In Scott's defense, all of the women I've ever dated were dominatrix mind-readers too.
I hate to add a comment to my own post, but if you click on the last picture of Jean in the post, you'll get Dark Phoenix's myspace.
It's officially the weirdest thing I've found on the web.
Team Emma, brap brap, blup.
Bah! I support Team Zatanna. Or Team Photon. Or Team Wanda Maximoff.
Interesting read. Cyclops is a bitch, but he gets all the women everyone else wants. Nice guys finish last? Not in the X-Universe.
cyclops wants girls who he can pretend are giving him sexual desires (using mind control) because he feels too guilty about his own sexuality to act on it. this is because he was molested by Mr. Sinister.
