BTW- Why is Scott wearing Nightwing's outfit?

Cyclops is good enough to wield Mjolnir and Cap's shield. Symbolically, that image is a validation of Scott's cause.

Way to go Cyke! #TeamCyclops FTW

I'm not liking the Avengers vs X-Men art at all, doesn't bring anything excellent to it, is really "meh"

Pretty sure he would lose to phoenix Magik... Just because she is magic lolol. An Namor and Colossus are on super steroids now and can fly so I think it's tie for them but Magik would stab superman with her sword and he would die that's the fight

WHAT THE HELL IS MARVEL DOING THEY BETTER HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON WHY CRAP-CLOPS IS HOLDING MY BOY THOR'S HAMMER.

THE PHEONIX FORCE IS A DESTROYER OF WORLDS SO CRAP-CLOPS BEING POSESSED BY IT MAKES HIM UNWORTHY.

I CALL B#LL SH*T UNLESS MARVEL CAN EXPLANE WHY CRAP-CLOPS CAN BREAK THE ENCHANTMENT ON THE HAMMER.

When did cyclops become an amalgamation of Nightwing, Knight, Cap, & Thor.

Sorry you guys, as an outsider looking in, this is stupid.

Cyclops is clearly not worthy .. he's using the cosmic power to do it I assume... they are clearly setting the x-men up for a large fall...

Why are Emma and Colossus wearing Wonder Woman's chest plates? Are they Amazons? I haven't been reading this series and I am out of the loop. Sorry.

It's a cover... if it happens inside the book, we can say he's worthy. Seriously though, covers often show as much symbolism as foreshadowing. This is Cyke standing triumphant over the Avengers... as it should be.

Cyke no longer needs the visor, nor do they need armor. They are truly Gods now and those items are just for appearance.

And to douchebags trolling on the costumes, the chest pieces are OBVIOUS depictions of the Phoenix. Haters will look for any excuse, imagined or otherwise...

Cyclops weilding Mjolnir is BS. how many more people
is Marvel gonna make worthy to wield Thors hammer?
this is crap.

As usual, the cover will not reflect what takes place inside the book. I can guarantee you Caps shield will not be broken again so soon and Thors hammer won't be all chipped and busted up, and I'm pretty sure the enchantment won't allow even a Phoenix powered Cyclops to wield it because his corruption from that power makes him unworthy.

This isn't the first (or even the 20th) cover this year alone that displays a scene that never takes place in the book.

Namor is king pimp.
Well we all know ema is a bonfire slut she's banged half of the marvel U, and cant blame sue storm I mean every issue I read of FF reeds in his lab, if I was married to her I'd have my elongated you know what in her invisible that right there.

since when is Scott "¤%¤#%ing summers worthy? to either one of those two? Not in the sense of not everybody is able to hold Cap's shield, I just don't think he's "worthy" to be anywhere near that shield, the current Summers I mean... Still, I think this event improved since issue 6, I'm definitely eager to read the next one!!

I always knew Nightwing was greater than Cap and Thor at the same time. Awesome.

Seriously why does Cyclops have Nightwing's costume? Very awesome that he has both weapons, How exactly are the Avengers going to be able to stand against them?

@monkeyballs - "He's what Aquaman should have been. His name is better too."

You do know that Namor came out BEFORE Aquaman right?

Anyway the latest incarnation of Aquaman is FANTASTIC. Ive always enjoyed Namor in the past, but currently Aquaman is better
