So we all know Schism will change the dynamics of the X-men in big ways. The only thing i'm really concerned with, however, is what happens with Scott.........I just hope Marvel doesnt screw up the best character they got.
Heres what I envision: 
- The Mutants lose faith in Scott as thier leader due to some event
- Scott leaves Utopia (most likely with Emma hopefully)
- He has his own solo book with him going on adventures and whatnot, something Ive dreamed of for a while (Emma could co-star)
- After a while he comes back to Utopia and forms his own sect of Xmen, away from the pack
 
Thats just a quick breakdown of what I want. What about you? Do you want Scott to be killed off? Become the absolute leader of all mutants? Or  What?

I think Cyclops will be coming back to his 90s persona

Cyclops will be the biggest badass of em all cause he's gonna be doing something no one has done before (canonically).... Kill Wolverine!!!!  Make it happen Marvel!

I think that the mutants will lose faith in him, he might go back to NY (but not directly there), redeem himself somewhere down the line, be the leader of a completely different group of mutants. 
 
Based on what we know, who do you think the mutants will brand as their leader once it's all said and done?

he probably won't appear in a while

I think the most interesting outcome would be scott getting his own book and joining the avengers and wolverine leading the x-men.

@nadral: As cool as it would be to see Cyke as an Avenger, or have his own title, I can't imagine him doing anything but lead an X-Man team. It's been his calling since he was a teenager, and not to draw comparisons to a certain other mutant but he's pretty much the best there is at what he does.

He should lead an X-Men team aimed at adult readers (with Emma, Magneto, Xavier and a few others) dealing with the pressures of keeping a dying species alive, while Wolverine and the X-Men should be the more mainstream comic and have the normal superhero adventures.

-x-men fallout
-cyclops loses an eye
-wolverine loses a claw
-emma is pregnant (though she's not sure who the father is)

If they want real changes they shouldn't be afraid to toss characters around and really shake things up
 
emma is pregnant (though she's not sure who the father is) - It will be a mystery arc kinda like who shot Montgomery Burns in the Simpson

I think Cyclops will become an extreme isolationist. He'll be seen like Magneto ruling an asteroid or island nation.

I think Marvel should definitely revamp him. I think he could be much better if he wasn't so complex. Keep some of the complexity but just tone it down to where he is confusing.

I really don't find Cyclops all that complex or confusing these days, folk. I think that his current direction has been great (despite a few issues) and he should continue to be the heavy head that wears the crown. I was never a fan of Cyclops until recently when I came to truly respect and Identify the character. Now that Marvel's hinted that Scott may not be around post Schism I'm much less interested in reading Uncanny #1 if it doesn't feature him as leader. X-Men w/o Cyke/Storm leading in the field just isn't a a legit X-Men to me. Plus Greg Land/Dodson/Pacheco on art isn't exactly making me salivate. I think Gillen has a good handle on Cyke and I hope he keeps writing the guy after Schism, because once he's away from all of Fraction's Ishkabibble I'm sure he can tell some great stories with the character.

Amen brother, that's exactly how I feel on this. Cyclops is the X-men at this point.

I think from what they have hinted that scott might be killed. and their will be a division in leadership. it could be Emma for one team, and wolverine for another. or storm leading her own group.

well we do get images of a cut visor from the schism preview. its not like  you can't rule out the idea.

Now that it's guaranteed that he won't be dying any time soon, I'm really interested in what Marvel has planned for Cyke. It's pretty obvious that Marvel has plans to one day revive the mutant population what with the Scarlet Witch back and Hope, I wonder how that event will effect Cyke when it happens. He changed into a stern leader who did several questionable acts just to protect the dwindling mutant population, will he change again when the mutant population remains? Or will he just continue the way he is now? There's a lot of directions his character can go and it will definitely be interesting, at least for me, to see where he winds up.
