Scott only gained a wandering eye when editorial decided to screw him over again and again. Scott's one of the few on-screen characters who spent more than single issue or panel actually honest-to-goodness MOURNING his dead love. Back when she was THE big character death.

Then Claremont had him fall in love with a surrogate, Maddy Pryor. That was going to play out...but then Marvel decided to bring Jean back so they could do X-factor. And since it was a rapid decision, they did it by essentially turning Cyclops into a massive dickhead who abandons his family with virtually no angst over the choice.

Marvel then recemented this concept for a while and then Morrison came on board and decided to shake up the status quo by having Cyclops cheat on his wife psychically while being seduced by Emma who was dressed as Jean? Whuh?

Cyclops used to be one of my favorite characters...but Marvel seems determined to make him a bad guy. But then, that's the same path his mentor was forced to walk, so I don't know why I'm surprised.
