I love the characterization of Wolverine as the sort of dude who'd just like... whimsically attend a rodeo.

Cyclops is autistic, right?

From what I've seen of the character so far: he's very literal; he often feels that everybody around him is acting on some unknowable layer of complexity he can't understand; he sometimes struggles to grasp peoples' reactions to him when as he sees it he's just being him; he commits social faux pas without realizing pretty often; he constantly feels like he's relaxing incorrectly; and he pulls the literal baddest bitch later on.

All of which just seem like how people with autism describe their experiences of being autistic.

idk if he's ever confirmed as on the spectrum later on or anything, but it really would not shock me. He feels based on someone's mate with Asperger's or something, like a more grounded, sympathetic and less clown-coded version of Frank Spencer, if that makes sense.

I've also read some takes that Kirby himself might've been on the spectrum, and not to be a conspiracy theorist about media or whatever, but having read the Kirby X-Men run I've always seen a lot of disability text, not even subtext but straight up neon-obvious "this is about disability" text, in that run. So I dunno, I don't know if Kirby ever discussed this, but Cyclops just has that vibe.

He's got that "probably intended to be some concept of autistic, written by people who lacked the vocabulary" dawg in him, imo.

All I know about the danger room via osmosis is that it's constantly malfunctioning or getting hacked or people are walking into it while it's set to kill. In my mind it's the X-Men holodeck, a room of predictable yet somehow unexpected danger lol.

As an Australian who thinks of Canada as "America with healthcare," Cyclops calling it a misbegotten country hit me like a truck lol.
