Marvel has largely left the Wolverine vs. Cyclops debate up to the fans to hash out, with message boards and social media platforms arguing the pros and cons of each hero. Logan has the cool factor on his side, while Scott Summers’ popularity has skyrocketed in recent years as he leans less toward Charles Xavier and more toward Magneto. <\/p>\n
Luckily, the Ultimate Universe has decided to settle Wolverine vs. Cyclops once and for all. Not only does their heated rivalry reach a dramatic conclusion, but it also comes at the cost of one of the legendary X-Men’s lives. Unfortunately, the loser didn’t have much of a life to speak of.<\/p>\n
Wolverine Gets The Best Of Cyclops, Beheading The X-Man And Putting Him Out Of His Misery<\/p>\n

Logan’s attack on the Eurasian Republic takes place in Ultimate Wolverine #12, as he and Sentinel One, aka David Haller, take the fight to Moscow. They’re looking for payback after their friends in the Opposition are wiped out by a Cerebomb, a special weapon made from the remains of Charles Xavier’s brain.<\/p>\n
Wolverine manages to find Dr. Prostovich, the head of Directorate X, in one of her labs. But before Wolverine can deal the killing blow, he’s blasted by a Sentinel with Cyclops’ severed head attached to its midsection. Part of Dr. Prostovich’s demented experiments involve turning mutants into deadly weapons for the Eurasian Republic, just like they tried with Wolverine.<\/p>\n
Cyclops’ optic blasts are a powerful weapon, so of course the bad guys would think to strap them to a Sentinel to use them to hunt down his fellow mutants. Ultimate Wolverine readers met the X-S Sentinel in a previous issue, but its new confrontation with the former Winter Soldier falls in the loss column.<\/p>\n
We have another example of Wolverine getting the best of Cyclops. Wolverine has already won the popularity contest, and now he’s extending his Adamantium claws through the X-Men leader’s head. While Wolverine lets out a guttural scream, Cyclops doesn’t even make a sound. The light and power from his optic blasts just fade out.<\/p>\n
Wolverine And Cyclops’ Rivalry Comes Down To Their Shared Love Of Jean Grey<\/p>\n
This Is The X-Men’s Most Infamous Love Triangle<\/p>\n

Like all great rivalries, the feud between Wolverine and Cyclops<\/a> boils down to their feelings towards the same woman: Jean Grey. Scott Summers and Jean Grey are the poster couple for mutantkind. But then here comes Logan being all dark, brooding, and dangerous, catching Jean’s attention. This love triangle is one of the X-Men’s most compelling<\/a>, for several reasons.<\/p>\n Cyclops and Jean Grey appear perfect on paper. Cyclops was always portrayed as a boy scout and Professor X’s star pupil. Meanwhile, Wolverine does whatever he wants, and has no qualms about getting his hands dirty. They both have qualities that Jean finds attractive. Whenever the three are together, expect fireworks to happen.<\/p>\n Marvel evolved this relationship during Jonathan Hickman’s time on the X-Men. The writer revealed that Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey were in a polyamorous relationship during the Krakoa era, with the three living under the same roof inside the Summers House on the moon. Instead of infighting, the three of them learned to live and love together.<\/p>\n Of course, the poly relationship between the trio came to an end alongside the mutant utopia known as Krakoa. With the X-Men forging ahead in “From the Ashes” and the upcoming “Shadows of Tomorrow” publishing initiatives, Wolverine and Cyclops are back to being on opposing sides of the same fight. Just how fans like it.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tCreated By \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoy Thomas, Len Wein, John Romita Sr.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tFirst Appearance \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Incredible Hulk (2023)<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tAlias \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJames “Logan” Howlett<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tAlliance \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tX-Men, Avengers, Canadian Army, OSS\/CIA, Avengers Unity Squad, Alpha Flight, New Avengers, New Fantastic Four, Savage Avengers, Weapon X, X-Force<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tRace \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHuman-Mutant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warning!
