In the alternative future Age of X, Cyclops is not Cyclops at all. Scott Summers accidentally killed his parents during a trip to the movies and was experimented on while in prison, becoming Basilisk. A basilisk is a legendary reptilian creature whose gaze could kill. While this costume design is pretty darn mean-looking, it does not hint at any of the costume design elements known to readers from any other version of Cyclops and does not invoke any of the depictions of basilisk throughout history.
It seems more like a re-purposed character design than one built from the ground up. Alex Ross is best known for his hyper-realistic depictions of superheroes, most notably in his collaborations with Mark Waid in Kingdom Come and Marvels , but his work showed us more what heroes would look like if they were real in their world rather than real in ours. Skintight spandex and capes remained, despite their impracticality. Ross's Earth X seems to bridge the gap between those poles.
Simonson's giant X remains, but the rest of Cyclops's form is a formless matte black, covered by a long trenchcoat, the closest thing to a cape to be found on any modern street. Here, Cyclops's quiet strength comes into sharp focus. As the saying goes, you come at the King, you best not miss, but it is Jack "King" Kirby who misses here. The X-Men were undoubtedly one of Kirby's greatest creations, but his costume designs would not be nearly as enduring as the characters themselves.
Their tunics make them look like they got attacked by Magneto during gym class at Xavier's school. The dishwasher gloves and yellow trunks are no better.
There is no question that Kirby's illustrations were revolutionary for their texture and dynamic portrayal of superhero action, but when compared to amazingly complex costume designs like Galactus or beautiful simple ones like Silver Silver , Cyclops's X-Men costume is caught between the two not complex enough to be interesting or simple enough to be striking.
