Still other scholars say the Babylonian monster is the Mesopotamian deity Tiamat, who takes on different forms, including a sea goddess. 3 However, there is no writing on the plaque. Thus, its full story remains a mystery. 4 Other Potential Origins: Pygmy Elephants Cyclops statue and a replica of a Sicilian pygmy elephant skull. Source: Natural History Museum of London.

It also comes with a mask that has a giant eye on the front and a horn on the top. Put it all together, and you’ll be ready to show the world that you’re way cooler than Odysseus. After the team had proved themselves in battle time and again, Xavier rewarded them with individualized costumes. This set was again designed by Jean, whom Xavier had secretly told of this plan before. Cyclops wore this rather simple outfit for the rest of his initial stint with the X-Men. [X-Men (1st series) #39] Eric: I have mixed feelings on this outfit. I think how good it looks largely depends on who’s drawing it. Jim Lee could pull it off, but… well… that was Jim Lee. I don’t think Scott is a character whose designs benefit from having lots of unnecessary details. The pouches, the leg straps… a lot about this just looks kind of awkward. Score: 6/10

Eric: I really like Scott’s classic look. It’s very simple and streamlined, so your attention isn’t too distracted from the most crucial element, his visor. Yellow pops well against dark blue, and I actually like the pirate boots. They’re silly, but hey, so is the character (and I mean that lovingly). Score: 8/10 As distinguishing characters whose stories have withstood the test of time, the cyclopes have come to symbolize many things in our modern world. Cyclopes symbolism and meanings include: Strength Picture this. Giant Sentinels roaming the broken down streets. They blast anyone down who doesn't fit their idea of what humanity should be. If you're a little bit different than normal people, they might just blast you to ashes because they think you're a mutant. If you wear any kind of spandex superhero suit, you're definitely going to get blasted. It's a future we're not too thrilled about...and a future that Charles Xavier and the X-Men have been fighting to stop for decades! If only there was some way you could help out... The ancient Slavs told tale of their own cyclops-like monster, whom they called Likho. Described in a number of ways, Likho might be a giant whose head rises above the treetops, an evil, scary-looking man, or an emaciated old woman. What all of these descriptions had in common was that Likho had only one eye and was the embodiment of evil fate and misfortune. An ancient Slavonic hero releasing the sun out of the eyehole of the Licho cyclops by Marek Hapon. Gabrielle Kinney holds a unique place within the X-Men universe as the youngest among ten clones crafted by Alchemax Genetics from the genetic blueprint of Laura Kinney, a mutant originally developed by the Facility using Wolverine's DNA. Initially intended to serve as bodyguards for humanitarian missions, Gabby and her nine sisters were created with enhanced abilities. Away from her makers, Gabby's adventures now often include her companion, an actual wolverine Jonathan, a gift from Squirrel Girl. The iconic duo has endeared themselves to fans through their heartwarming escapades, and Solorzano's delightful fan art, portraying Gabby and Jonathan in Cyclops and Wolverine costumes, is certain to captivate new admirers.So, like the story of Odin, for some, the cyclops symbolizes our ability to connect to God or Source, no matter our Earthly limitations.

Aside from Zeus’ thunder and lightning bolts, they forged Poseidon‘s trident and Artemis’ bow and arrow. In addition, they created the cap of invisibility, also called the helmet of Hades. 12 The hero Perseus wearing the cap of invisibility forged by the cyclopes, as he holds the head of Medusa.

Chris: When the time came for the original X-Men to ditch their blue-and-yellow school uniforms and become individuals… Scott did very little to mix it up. But you know what? It works for Slim! It’s hard not to love the costume Cyke wore in so many classic X-Men stories, but the bright yellow underwear and pirate boots are certainly an interesting choice. It would take a few decades, but Cyclops eventually set this look right. Score: 8/10 In The Odyssey, the hero-warrior Odysseus is trying to return home to Ithaca with his fleet of ships after the Trojan War. He and his crew had stopped off at the Land of the Lotus-Eaters (which some historians theorize was on the Mediterranean coast of what is now modern-day Libya.) However, Odysseus had to drag his men away because they were consuming lotus plants (which may have been poppy flowers) with the locals and the narcotic effects were causing his men to lose any desire to leave, let alone work on a ship. Wheat, Barley, and Vines Eric: It looks like I’m in the minority here, but I love this suit. It’s easily one of Scott’s best for me. Again, the color contrast is great. I’m usually not a fan of uniforms that just reflect the team’s identity rather than the individual’s, but in this case I think it works. Scott is one of the most quintessential X-Men after all, and he’s perhaps the one whose identity is most tied up to his membership in the team. And, again, keeping things simple and streamlined prevents other costume elements from distracting from the visor. Score: 8/10https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0136%3Abook%3D9%3Acard%3D193 O5-2) Young Cyclops's next costume was a primarily blue suit with a yellow 'X' in a circle on his chest. Lines extended out from the circle in the shape of a larger 'X' design, leading to yellow stripes down his outer arms and legs, leading to yellow boots and gloves. Some versions of this costume moved the yellow 'X' from the center of his chest to the left shoulder. [All-New X-Men (2nd series) #4]

Hitotsume-kozō are also unlike the other cyclopes-like creatures in that they aren’t giants. Rather, they are the size of human children. According to Japanese legends, they resemble Buddhist monks with shaved heads and they have only one eye and a long tongue. Chris: That time Cyclops became a Nightwing cosplayer. While all of the Phoenix Five costumes were, let’s say interesting, this was a pretty solid evil-Scott Summers look. It’s menacing yet regal, which is perfect for a Phoenix-powered Cyclops who decided it was just time to take over the planet. The little red thong was certainly an interesting choice. What is with artists’ need to cover Scott’s crotch? Score: 8/10 Not all cyclops-like creatures are malevolent toward human beings. The Japanese tell stories of enigmatic one-eyed creatures they call Hitotsume-kozō, which translates to “one-eyed boys.” Hitotsume-kozō are more mischievous than evil.Forrest: There’s a good balance of colors and detail going on here, and for something that’s got so many things happening it’s surprisingly simple-looking. In the end, I think they would’ve been better served putting an extra red touch on the feet or hands, rather than you know… where it is. Score: 6/10 In 1995, the X-universe changed dramatically. Due to Legion accidentally killing his father, Charles Xavier, in the past, he never lived to form the X-Men and history reshaped itself accordingly. In the new timeline, Apocalypse ruled the United States with an iron fist, while the X-Men were led by Magneto and Rogue. Well-known characters often appeared in unfamiliar roles, which was certainly the case for Cyclops. "Prelate Summers" wasn't the leader of the X-Men. Instead, he worked alongside Mister Sinister to serve the cause of Apocalypse, although readers soon found out that Scott's heroic side wasn't completely absent in this new reality: he had been helping people escape the slave pens for years.
