I haven't been following the X-Men, so the Cyclops in Avengers VS X-Men was a surprise to me. The Scott Summers I read as a kid was more Superman/Captain America in his attitude, he wouldn't try to start a war with half of the world's Superheroes just to protect someone that doesn't really need to be protected (The Avengers weren't really planning on killing Hope Summers at first, weren't they?).

What happened? What caused Wolverine to be less of a dick than Cyclops?

Wolverine became the more popular character. That and the fact that Marvel has a real problem writing any 'straitlaced' character other than Cap these days.

It really did start after his possession by Apocalypse when Morrisson was writing him, and continued into Whedons run as a leader who will go what he has to do to defend mutants.

You know, Prof X fell pretty easily for all the bravado he displayed during this about taking the Phoenix Five down. Does he--maybe--have a plan like he's gonna go all Onslaught on the Phoenix or something? Wait, why do I care? This thing is a fucking train wreck.

It's a series that could have been told in half the issues.Mostly padded filler is what I've read. Killing off Xavier is pointless in that he hasn't been a relevant character since House of M and even less of a presence in the X-Men before that even....probably since Morrison's New X-Men run I'm thinking. It could have been a kick-ass story but they shunt the fighting off into a whole seperate series which is stupidity above reason. Here kids, here's the awesome Avengers vs. X-Men!! Oh and by the way to see the fights between your favorite characters,you gotta plunk down another $3.99 for A vs.X.

However,I will say that some of the series that are spinning out of this fiasco sound intruiging enough for me to sample most of 'em. Which is what Marvel wants anyway lol.

I'm pretty sure that's the slogan that replaced "House of Ideas"
