Precise Optic Blast sounds like great fun.

choosing the knock back path is really interesting

The lack of running shot kinda bugs me, but with his range and jeans ability to

TK twice, he'll definitely get into position to do his work.

I think that All-New Scott and Jean are the highlights of this set. Free Force Blast that is PC-proof with a directed knock back path? Sweet!

I'm picking this set up because I'm sick and tired of over thinking heroclix. Original X-Men Simple dials, toss in the occasional Main Set character for flavor and there you have it. I also think this guys free force blast is going to give people fits on the right map. I agree that Cyclops and Jean are the best in this set.

So CYke has a leadeship that can't use with his friend in this set? They all cost the same!

You play the whole pack - 300 points. Leadership success grants the team an extra action and 4 actions instead of 3. It maybe won't remove tokens but does allow for more to do something in a turn. I played mystique and she was the lowest point figure in my team. The extra action goes a long way.

True, but still. you could easily made him at 55 point and another 45... or 51 nad 49 :)

He's got 8 movement on click 2.

I picked this set up, but haven't used them just yet. The thing I'm most interested to try out with this piece in particular is having Jean TK him out next to someone, Force Blast them for free into a wall (hopefully), then shoot them and knock them into another wall (or into a tie up). And after all that you can have Jean bring him back to safety!

Really like this design. I think that in the end Running Shot, Sidestep, and/or Sharpshooter would be overkill for the point value, but maaaan would I love to have seen the 100 point main set version incorporate Precise Optic Blasts...but then, with the wide-angle thing that would be too crazy as well. Especially when comboed with ffuxm Angel and Jean Grey, Cyclops gets the mobility he needs to start trucking, and the only thing better than Force Blast is free Force Blast!

Im guessing based on jean grey wording, cyclops could also use forceblast twice in a turn then

I finally tried most of the FF All-New X-Men (2017 rules) and I was impressed how the team did against other figures around their point cost. Cyclops was primarily used to provide Leadership (extra action + chance to clear) and was often carried/swooped/sidestepped by FF Angel to be in position to free Force Blast breaking up enemy formations. The ability to choose a knockback path is HUGE, especially with the 2017 rules that deliver falling damage to fliers. This is also a figure that can provide some offense when needed, and it is really nice to see a Cyclops that doesn't rely on the typical 'ranged attack' powers to do his thing.
