Except as of the last few years, Cyclops is still a self-righteous pansy, except now he's a self-righteous pansy of the "I did what I fucking had to do to keep us all alive, so fuck you if you don't like what I did to keep your ass still aboveground" variety. In other words, he's willing to be a dick for what he sees as the greater good, but he doesn't want anybody giving him lip over it, not even if it means certain emotionally vulnerable young girls treated like living weapons for most of their lives get recruited for a secret death squad.

Yeah, I'm bitter like that.
