10 X-Men Characters Most SHAFTED By The Movies

1. Cyclops

There isn't a character in Fox's X-Men series that has been as poorly treated as Scott Summers.

Introduced in 2000's X-Men portrayed by James Marsden, the famous leader of the X-Men would play second-fiddle to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for much of the original trilogy, before being unceremoniously killed off in The Last Stand's opening act.

The fact that Fox didn't opt for the character's iconic nineties wardrobe probably didn't help matters either, but the younger Summers brother is still waiting for his due on the big screen. That could yet come with Tye Sheridan's new rendition of the character, but with Apocalypse having largely failed to address the lack of care given to the hero in the original trilogy, fans can be forgiven for not feeling too optimistic about Dark Phoenix.

Oh, and would it have killed them just throw a little yellow on that suit either? Jeez.
