Cyclops is being more Magneto-ish than Magneto. Mags is going along with the plan, but he's the only one on the team who thinks pinning their hopes on a monster that killed billions while on its way to Earth might backfire.

Pretty weird that Cyclops is becoming Magneto-lite when Magneto himself is trying -- emphasis on 'trying' -- to be better.

BTW, anyone else think the only reason the Phoenix is going on a planet-munching rampage in this crossover is to make the Avengers seem less like jerks by giving them good reason to fear it?

If the Phoenix hadn't been established as a mass-murdering monster in this crossover, I'd probably side with the X-men. As it stands, the Avengers are the ones who look more heroic because they are trying to save the entire planet as opposed to their own little pseudo-country. Granted, they really should have asked for more advice from people who have had experience dealing with the Phoenix -- but what could those people say?

"Oh the Phoenix is perfectly safe. Just keep it away from any evil BDSM clubs. Otherwise, it'll go insane and eat a sun."
