Concluding an overarching storyline that began with 2019’s House of X/Powers of X, the end of Fall of X resulted in a new status quo for the latest iteration of X-Teams, with practically every mutant in the X-Men’s roster getting an updated costume design to mark their next era of adventures. Dressed in a sleek yellow and blue suit that uses the former color to help the costume pop, Cyclops’ latest look pays homage to his iconic 90s outfit, bringing the character into the modern age with an impressively eye-catching design.
Drawn next to the severed head of a defeated Sentinel, Cyclops stands at attention with a hand poised, ready to unleash an optic blast, with Tom’s signature art style and professional color-work nailing the overall look and feel of Cyclops’ new costume. Giving the yellow sections of Cyclops’ chest and shoulders a lightly armored look, Tom’s subtle additions to the suit has many fans in the comments exclaiming that his take on this redesign has made them appreciate Cyclops’ official in-issue suit even more, establishing this costume as a worthy addition to Scott Summers’ rich visual history.
New Fanart Highlights Cyclops’ Latest Yellow and Blue X-Men Design
Considering the MCU is leading up to introducing Cyclops and the rest of Marvel’s Merry Band of Mutants in the near future, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this costume used as inspiration for Cyclops’ next live-action design — something that seems entirely possible given Hugh Jackman’s upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine costume leans heavily into the bright yellow hues that Cyclops is seen sporting here. Regardless of the character’s MCU status, Cyclops’ latest costume is hands down his coolest, with Tom Reilly’s (@tomreillyart) art, along with the rest of the upcoming issues of X-Men featuring this new look, proving that easily.
