For a while now, I have been finding out what are the best X-Ladies moments. In the past I created other threads, sharing my favourite X-ladies moments and asking you guys what your favourite X-ladies moments are.

Now I feel time to rate those moments to find out, what are the most popular. I intend to share all those moments and the moments others people share too. So we can rate them.

Now it's time rate Storm & Cyclops moment. This moment is from the 80's. I'm sure a lot of X-Men fans are familiar with this moment.

Storm beat him a little easy. The revelation in Inferno made this moment make more sense. It did still start Storm's best run as leader. I'd give it a seven or eight.

I'll go with 8. I excuse this by assuming Scott underestimated her, and his environment. He's learned a bit since then, I think. Or did. Cuz he'd dead now. Dead, dead, dead.

It's an iconic moment for sure, but Storm beat him far too easily. This was one of those instances where Claremont went too far in trying so show a female character as being powerful or capable and eventually gave rise to the term Claremazon.

I give it a 7.

@ashetdust: That and also in line with the fact he was trying to go for his original plan of all X-Men leaving for the next generation. He was rather bold in his decision making back then.

I give this a 7. I'd give it a lower score if I went for my indifference, but it is objectively not a bad moment and rating it so low would've insinuated there were things wrong with it. The only real bummer about this is that Scott gave up so easily.

In Inferno it was revealed that the reason Cyke lost so easily was because Madelyn Pryor was able to influence the outcome.

Scott is clearly pulling punches here, and Storm does a lot of risky stuff with complete success. It's hardly representative of either character, and I don't find the combat itself or the thoughts behind it compelling. 3.5/10 from me.

This was a great moment for Storm, she proved she wasn't a liability to the team and was worthy as the leader even without her powers. 9.5/10

Also remember guys the environment was set in her favour, Scott set his optic blast on low power and his mind wasn't in the game, with that context it makes sense why she won easily.

Solid 9 for me. It was a critical moment in X-Men/Marvel history imho. It also proved that Storm shouldn't have been underestimated and Scott should have been fully focused for a shot to win.
