Story
Scott Summers, known by his hero name of Cyclops, is a mutant capable of generating concussive force-based, red-colored beams from his eyes. He has fought for peace and equality between humans and mutants ever since joining the X-Men.
Hero, freedom fighter, strategist - Cyclops has been dubbed many things, and he continues to do so as the leader of his own faction of X-Men, fighting to protect a world that hates and fears them.
In Marvel vs Capcom 2, Cyclops is a jack-of-all-trades type character, and Marvel's version of the Shoto, with projectile, uppercut, and tatsu special moves. Generally, he is relegated to an assist, as his anti-air assist is among the best in the game, but this does not mean Cyclops cannot play well on point. He has a good set of powerful normals, a good variety of special moves, and two great supers - and can play in a wide variety of playstyles. This character, though not a god-tier character, is extremely solid in both ranged and close-up gameplay. Coupled with characters like Sentinel, he can be a real threat to a number of characters on the roster.
If you like Captain Commando's assist, then this character is very similar in respects to assist use, but has a better combo game, and builds meter incredibly fast, having the use of a double-jump and two roundhouse variations.
Gameplay
Cyclops is a jack-of-all-trades, though not nearly as dominant as Storm is. Although he is not god tier, he is in the top 10 for the best characters in the game, and possesses a solid ability to both rushdown and zone out.
