X-Men has already established that there are doors connecting the bedrooms belonging to Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Wolverine in the Summer House, with the implication that they're a "thruple" (Scott also appears to still be romantically involved with Emma Frost). This all ties into the nature of Krakoa, but could there be something more between Cyclops and Wolverine?
Their past animosity has gone, and during this week's
X-Men #7, they share what could be described as an intimate moment on the Moon (at least, that's how it's being perceived by some fans).
When Wolverine complains that he can't sleep, Cyclops points out that it's because of Logan's body hair before observing that it's "Too hot for covers and it's too cool without them." When Scott goes on to invite his old rival to a family day out, Wolverine ponders the prospect of seeing Jean in a bikini before Cyclops adds, "Scott in a Speedo."
Oddly, Wolverine's response is, "Heh. Well, who could say no to that?"
Now, there's absolutely nothing to say that this is any more than friendly banter, but given the "free love" feel on Krakoa, there's a lot of speculation that sexuality is no longer something that mutants pay much attention to because it is, after all, a human concept.
If Wolverine and Cyclops are sharing Jean, then there's really nothing to say they couldn't have also grown close, and while this is bound to be controversial, Jonathan Hickman has been making a lot of unexpected decisions as of late in his
X-Men run. It's also hard to ignore the fact that there was a lot of subtext in this conversation between the two heroes.
What do you guys think?
