So a while back I made this post titled: "we owe cyclops an apology." In that post I said and I quote: "Idk why cyclops *red and blue* gets so much hate, he's not THAT bad I have him as a 5* and he found some good usege against havock in the MEQ, good counter to Emma frost to he's also good on war defense on unblockeble SP1 node. And is great for act 5 breakthrough node.
Now let's all apologize to cylcops for memeing him and all, I mean, Shure he's no Stark spidy but still. We owe him an apology
Oh AND I frogot to mention that he's also good against characters with autoblock or high block proficiency with his crit. Through block."
Well I'm here now to say: I still like him, in fact I love cyclops im just making this post because I now realize that there are far better options for all of what cyclops does, like my 5* ghost is a far better option for crit. Through block. Also my newly acquired 5* Medusa is now my go-to champ for act 5 breakthrough, BUT I still think cyclops is good and I still like him. I'm just saying he's now a B. Option for me, however more than often I find Medusa and ghost tied up in an AW or AQ and then do you know who I go-to for a lot of things?
That's right! Cyclops, but I made this post to say that we as a community still owe cyclops an apology, we just don't owe him AS BIG of an apology as I once thought we did.
Now let's all apologize to cylcops for memeing him and all.

Yondu (can even bleed/armor break through block)
Elektra
Ghost (can also be unblockable with Wasp)
Corvus
I know I’m forgetting a few. There’s even some champs that are better because they have unblockable specials, like IMIW and Carnage (I know OG Cyclops gets unblockable specials too).
Well I guess technically you’re also saying he’s the best Havok counter, too. There are better counters for him too:
Angela
Heimdall
Vulture
Civil Warrior
Ultron (either)
Iceman
Venom
Venom the Duck
All the Iron Men & clones (class advantage + regen beats whatever Cyclops doesn’t bring to the table)
Cyclops is outdated and horrible. Literally anything he does can be done by anyone better plus they do much more damage. It’s sad because X-Men is probably my favorite Marvel “universe” and I really like Cyclops, but he is awful in this game.
Crit thru block isn’t that useful, and good players can get openings to actually hit their opponent.
And saying he’s good against breakthrough also makes no sense. Everyone is good against breakthrough, after 20 hits their armor starts going into the negative. The only champs who are better are champs with 6-7 hit combos and high hit count specials, which cyclops has neither.
BPCW is the only one who can reflect stun. Guess that makes him god tier. OG DD can evade projectiles 100% of the time at max sig which is better than Sparky so I guess he’s god tier too. Magneto is one of 3 champs that has safeguard in his sig even though his is worst. But he also has psychic immunity. Beyond god tier.
Maybe a trick answer, but another champ that doesn't have high damage but is considered extremely valuable is Void. His direct damage is very low in general, and even his debuff damage is so-so. His forte is heal block/reversal and power block/reversal, not that he kills particularly quickly.
