Like Obviously Jean ofc

Then there's Emma

Then Magik is a lock

Storm and him while recently being pushed away I can confidently affirm them as close knit.

Rogue and him seem to have this stand off ish brother and sister relationship.

And when it comes to Bobby, Warren, and Hank its like we know they should be friends but it feels like Beast is the only one who actually doesn't mind Scott.

I know in a way the X-men are the only friends/family he's really ever known. But nowadays it just feels like most times he's just reduced to being a looking example of someone you don't wanna be (" Real Cyclops of you" "You want a visor to go with that"). He feels loke that coworker no one likes but you cant get rid of him because the job of 10 people 10x better.

Like even when you give him a squad of people he's not used to working with he just gets shit done. Even on teams where people dont like him (Blue team) He's still running shit. It's to the point where its impossible for me to suspend my disbeliefs when they'll take characters from being on a team with him and put them on a different one with a different leader and they just shit talk him and say their current leader is better (Cough Cough Uncanny, God I can't stand Gail Simone)

I wont count X-Factor since they're government formed, but I swear the new mutants always either are wearing the same uniform, or all their fits are at least very synonymous to each other. The only time I remember the main X-men team members looking the same was Grant Morrisons run with the Jackets.

Imma be honest had I known the rework was coming I wouldve invested in advance, lmao. Oh well next year though.

The meta was diverse even at the pro level, it wasn't character based meta it was map based, plent of content for the game, a new tank released that was a bit oppressive and got nerfed into a state where its still strong but beatable, 2 tournaments that brought attention to the game, Blade was playable, My goat Scott Summers leader of mutantkind came to the game and I lorded him.

Season 8-8.5 rating: 8.9-9.0
