Cyclops is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and is a founding member of the X-Men. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in the comic book ''The X-Men'' #1 (September 1963). Cyclops is a member of a subspecies of humans known as mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. Cyclops can emit powerful beams of energy from his eyes. He cannot control the beams without the aid of special eyewear which he must wear at all times. He is typically considered the first of the X-Men, a team of mutant heroes who fight for peace and equality between mutants and humans, and one of the team's primary leaders. Cyclops is most often portrayed as the archetypal hero of traditional American popular culture—the opposite of the tough, anti-authority antiheroes that emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War (e.g., Wolverine, his X-Men teammate). One of Marvel's most prominent characters, Cyclops was rated #1 on IGN.com's list of Top 25 X-Men from the past forty years in 2006,〔 and the 39th in their 2011 list of Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.〔 In 2008, Wizard Magazine also ranked Cyclops the 106th in their list of the 200 Greatest Comic Book Characters of All Time.〔 In a 2011 poll, readers of Comic Book Resources voted Cyclops as 9th in the ranking of 2011 Top Marvel Characters.〔 James Marsden has portrayed Cyclops in the first three and the seventh ''X-Men'' films, while in the 2009 prequel film, ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', he is portrayed as a teenager by actor Tim Pocock. In 2016's ''X-Men: Apocalypse'', he will be portrayed by Tye Sheridan. ==Publication history== Cyclops first appeared in ''X-Men'' #1 (September 1963). He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and has been a mainstay character of the ''X-Men'' series. Lee said that Cyclops and the Beast were his two favorite X-Men, elaborating that "I love tortured heroes - and he was tortured because he couldn't control his power." Originally dubbed Slim Summers, by ''X-Men'' #3 his name was changed to Scott, with 'Slim' becoming a nickname. Scott is the first of the X-Men recruited by Professor X; Xavier hand-picks Scott to lead his X-Men, and to carry on the legacy of his mutant-human-harmony ideals. Xavier views Scott as one of his most prized pupils; their relationship exhibits father/son qualities. From time to time, Scott's extreme loyalty to Xavier has cost him dearly in his relationships with others; but, over the course of the characters' publication history, he eventually emerges from Xavier's shadow as the X-Men's undisputed leader. Dave Cockrum created the Starjammers, including Corsair, and convinced ''X-Men'' writer Chris Claremont to use the characters for this series. In order to provide a plausible excuse for the Starjammers to make repeat appearances in ''X-Men'', they decided to make Corsair the father of Cyclops. Summers remained a member of the team up through ''Uncanny X-Men'' #138. After departing the main cast, he was a recurring character in the series until ''Uncanny X-Men'' #201, after which he was featured in the launch of a new series by Marvel. This new series, ''X-Factor'', launched in 1986 and starred the original X-Men team of Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel. Scott stayed with the ''X-Factor'' title through ''X-Factor'' #70. In October 1991, Summers returns to the X-Men to launch ''X-Men'' #1 (2nd series).〔''X-Men'' #1〕 This series was the second of two ''X-Men'' titles and featured Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Psylocke, Rogue, and the Beast as Blue team. Cyclops has recently been featured in another title launch with the second introduction of a new ''X-Men'' series ''Astonishing X-Men''. ''Astonishing X-Men'' features Cyclops, Wolverine, Shadowcat, Colossus, Emma Frost, and the Beast as a team. Throughout this time, Cyclops continued to make appearances in ''Uncanny X-Men'' 〔''Uncanny X-Men'' #294〕〔''Uncanny X-Men'' #334〕 Marvel has also used Cyclops to launch variant series of ''X-Men'' titles most notably ''Ultimate X-Men'' and ''New X-Men''. Cyclops has appeared in limited series including ''Adventures of Cyclops & Phoenix'', ''Further Adventures of Cyclops & Phoenix'', ''X-Men: The Asgardian Wars'', the second series of ''Astonishing X-Men'', ''X-Men: The Search for Cyclops'', his own self-titled series ''Cyclops'', and ''X-Men Origins: Cyclops'' #1. In 1991, writer Brian K. Vaughan worked on the self-titled series ''Cyclops'' #1-4. In 2000, Joseph Harris wrote the four-issue run titled ''X-Men: The Search for Cyclops'' that dealt with Cyclops' return after merging with Apocalypse in the events of the Twelve from ''Uncanny X-Men'' #377. During Joss Whedon's run of ''Astonishing X-Men'', Cyclops adopts a new attitude unfamiliar to most accustomed fans. After Emma's psychic intervention at the mansion, he temporarily loses his powers after owning up to his self-inflicted, traumatic past. This prompted an interview with Joss Whedon in ''Wizard'' magazine #182. When asked if Cyclops didn't have his powers any more, Whedon replied, "No, he doesn't have his powers. Well, he had a choice to either be completely out of control or bury them. He can't use them. That's pretty much it. But the thing that would be fun is that, with no powers, he's going to be the best that he's ever been. That's what the arc is about. (has ) been the team leader and the team washout in terms of popularity. He was defined by Jean so much, and I just think that this guy is so interesting in his struggle against mediocrity. Then, when it's all laid on the line, when you find out the thing that's been holding him back from being just a complete bad ass has been himself all his life, that he's been lying to everyone, including himself, about who he is-that should be freeing. The Scott we're going to see is going to be a little bit different. This guy is either completely out of control or in control of something we're not used to. I wanted him to be an unabashed tough guy. He is shooting people and turning very much into a leader. Not everyone is going to like it." Now, the X-Men leader has become more confident, outspoken, and audacious. This has had a significant effect on his leadership and his respect among teammates, most notably Wolverine. However, since the birth of Hope Summers, Cyclops has become increasingly unstable with his own self. Overprotective of those close to him, amoral in his new, Magneto-like view of humanity, and mentally ambiguous, Cyclops is viewed as an antihero and occasionally even a villain in the minds of his fellow superheroes. Kieron Gillen's run in ''Uncanny X-Men'' ended with an unrepentant Cyclops, who had become increasingly hardline during Gillen's run, in prison for his actions during ''Avengers vs. X-Men''. Gillen wrote him openly suicidal in a five-part epilogue: ''AvX: Consequences''. As part of Marvel NOW!, a new volume of ''Uncanny X-Men'' was launched in February 2013, written by Brian Michael Bendis, who has also written another X-Men title, ''All-New X-Men'', both of which are drawn by Chris Bachalo. All-New X-Men features Cyclops and the remnants of his Extinction Team. The team has taken up a revolutionary, and sometimes violent course to promote mutant rights, and started up a new school for new mutants, the New Charles Xavier School for the Gifted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cyclops (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
