I can't remember which arc it's from but the only time I thought Cyclops was even close to cool was when the Danger Room turns out to be sentient and calls an old clunker sentinel to the school. Cyclops says something like, "Get off my lawn" then proceeds to vaporize everything within a hundred yard radius into dust with a single eye blast. Then Wolverine says something like "I remember why you're in charge" or some shit like that.

I tried to find the page online but kept getting sidetracked by porn.
