Poor, poor Scott Summers. As generally the most well-intentioned and moralistic member of the main X-Men team - not to mention their quasi-leader - Scott takes a lot of stick for reasons that never seem totally fair.

While he's by no means a perfect person, as anyone who has seen his messy relationship history can attest, there are notably few X-Men who the same can't be said for - and nobody is still hating on Professor X about that time he was supposedly in love with Jean Grey, the woman who is practically his child. He's not always a nice guy, but he is always trying to protect the X-Men, and you can't really argue with that.

At absolute most, Scott's worst crime is being kind of boring - but then, every team needs one regular dude to keep them all in line, so even that is hardly a crime.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
