Was there ever any elaboration on why Cyclops was considered one of the best champs in MCOC?

GMAX77 · February 23

Title says it all. Believe it or not, I really enjoy using Cyclops (I prefer blue over Red). More so because I am a fan of the character, but overall (with the right synergies) he can be fun to play for lower level questing. I've seen little jokes here and there about how Cyclops is one of the best and initially I thought this fell in the same category as the "GROOT is the BEST" memes that show up everywhere. Apparently its been said that Cyclops is one of the most effective champs. I'm curious if there has been any elaboration on this theory. Karate Mike did a video on using Cyclops, but he's great with just about every champ in the game. Is there something that I am missing? Cyclops is fun to use, but I haven't seen anything that makes him come across as overly effective.

According to some data in the past, Cyclops was one of the most used options to fight against Magik's, I think

He isn't effective at all, just showed the ignorance of the mod who uttered it. It ended up being a meme of sorts across the community, which was some sort of entertainment, at least.
But to answer your question, cyke is garbage. His best usage is a synergy piece and thats it.

Kabam miike said he was very EFFECTIVE in war thus people discovered his potential to end just about any content in the game

This is why he is the best. Little throwback but still valid to this day.

Cyclops is the best Havok counter in the game and as we all know Havok is the toughest defender in the game meaning Cyclops is the best attacker in the game
I wouldn't say he's the best counter. His damage still sucks, bit it's true he can eat his specials, including his sp3 while taking 0 damage. There are better counters with more damage, ifou play well enough to not push him to an sp3. Anyone with an armor up buff or consistent power drain can be just as effective while taking havok down faster.

Cyclops can literally never die vs Havok tho because he takes 0 damage from all of his energy special attacks and plasma

Wow. The comic with the Ghost, Quake, etc. is hilarious. Here's hoping he gets a buff sooner than later. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Too bad Thing stopped being a mini boss before Cyclops could get his revenge 😆
