Cyclops' Cruelest Insult to Wolverine Proves No-One Knows Him Better
In their many years on the X-Men, Wolverine and Cyclops have been frenemies, as their love of Jean Grey has often put them in conflict. However, in X-Men: Schism from Marvel Comics, in the middle of a deadly conflict where the two heroes disagreed on how to handle a Sentinel, Scott Summers insulted Logan with a barb so cruel that it had to hurt the antihero. In the process, it showed how Cyclops knows Wolverine better than most mutants.
In the pages of Marvel Comics, Wolverine and Cyclops have always had a complicated relationship. Cyclops prides himself on being a leader who wants to be an active participant in protecting mutants and the X-Men. Cyclops can sometimes be cold and analytical, which is a stark contrast to Wolverine. Logan is a much more emotional hero who doesn't actively seek out being a decision-maker for the X-Men but is willing to put his body on the line to protect mutants. While Cyclops wants to be a teacher to young mutants, Wolverine begrudgingly does so, even if he's proven to be an effective mentor. Their different philosophies in dealing with a powerful thread once led to an incredibly cruel insult from Cyclops that cut Wolverine to his core.
