Mutant Revolutionary at 7 is going to turn the tide in a lot of fights. Team-up tiles build up and that’s gonna make it really easy to use them to set off monster cascades (and key Full Blast).

3

I’m going to guess it doesn’t do more than 6 or 7 tiles at max and you’ll probably be collecting (clearing) red while using him anyways :confused:

Looks like yellow can help fuel the power in the black power though

With a 13 AP charged Full Blast, Scott deals a huge amount of damage to the opponent in one shot. At max level, this is enough to down support characters in a blow. But more than that, if there are enough Red tiles on the board, Mr. Summers really lets loose, pulling off his visor and unleashing his full power. This deals even more damage but has the downside of stunning himself for a couple of turns. Leveling up the ability increases not only the overall damage but allows Scott to recover faster from unleashing the amazing power he holds.

Will be interesting to see how much damage he can manage with a well timed yellow/black combo

5

So he’s like a non-random Moonstone?

6

Seems like he could be a Blade booster as well? His yellow seems interesting in that it could help clear red strike tiles and boost red AP. Since it’s at 7 AP, I’m guessing even at 5 covers there’ll be a limit to the number of converted tiles, since Doom’s is at 9AP and converts all.

Hey everyone, we’re trying something new for Cyclops, putting together a short reading list for folks to get familiar with characters when they’re announced.

Casey Malone, one of our designers, put together his essential Cyclops reading list, featuring some key events that helped shape the character and his current evolution. http://www.demiurgestudios.com/blog/sco … zle-quest/

I posted this link in a General Discussion thread, but figured it warranted its own thread. Hope you guys don’t mind.

Added basic abilities and his icon. icon_cyclops.png

9

Oh yeah, you also have a blog… icon_e_smile.gif

10

Awesome! I may or may not have started reading comics becuse of this game… I saw the new art and silver magneto behind him and… I want to know how that came about lol. I like seeing the comics and game come together icon_e_smile.gif

11

we get abilities for characters now? Truly, the dark ages have passed us!

12

Excited we finally have a red accelerator. Looks like at max level it might convert 8 TU’s to red. Will be interesting if any new endless loops develop. At minimum, yes, it auto enables Blade’s strike tiles.

13

I really love the new Uncanny X-Men series overall, I recommend tracking down the collections or getting it on sale at Comixology.

Good call not including X-Factor #1 on the list, the one where Cyclops abandoned his wife and child for for years… not his best hour.

14

If you want the very short version, google “I want this thing off my lawn.”

15

Guessing black will only be given to top 10. Seems way powerful

16

“What other lies have you told?”

17

9 red tiles isn’t even that hard to have on board but 13AP is a lot. I’m guessing either 553 or 355 (red accelerator for someone else).

I bet he’d go decent with Doom too, reducing the playfield to 5 or less colors easily.

18

Cyclops !! Finally !!!

19

You need 10 red tiles for his black because in ability description, it says “more than 9 red tiles”

20

They like to make the 5th cover a bigger bump, so my guess is that it scales like this:

1-cover: 4
2-covers: 5
3-covers: 6
4-covers: 7
5-covers: 9

Kind of like Mystique’s blue.
