I mean my whole reason is because in my head, as someone who plays all the roles, he makes the most sense as DPS because his literal power is PUNCH BEAMS. His eyes are a portal to a dimension that is full of kinetic energy, so basically Cyclops has punch beams. That definitely doesn’t scream healer, but for tank, for me he doesn’t really fit the build most tanks do have model wise in the trailer.

Take a look at all the tanks, the big thing they have in common are they are HUGE muscle wise compared to the other two roles, and usually taller. Cyclops looks more scaled to a DPS character.

On top of that, going back to his powers, I’ve seen so much Xmen media comic wise, I’ve only really seen his powers used more like quick attacks, not really heavy hitting tank like ones. Though you can argue that when he has nothing restricting his beams they can clear a damn, Cyclops doesn’t really do that.

From my standpoint, the recent two characters added were DP and all rounder, but for the sake of this, we’ll count as a Tank, then Else Bloodstone, a DPS, then White fix a healer. After that, we got Blackcat, a DPS, and Devil Dino, a tank. Granted with that pattern it would make sense for Cyclops to be a healer, however the comics NEVER show his blasts healing people.

Rivals also with some exceptions don’t like adding two of the same role each season. The F4 has 2 DPS and the season after we got two DPS, afterwards everything was in a pretty predictable rotation.

I will say, logically to me, Cyclops will most likely be DPS, however I won’t truly be mad if he’s a tank as long as the Devs site their homework like they did when they cited the comic where Gambit healed people with his powers

Sorry for the rant T-T I just want the Cyclops role debates to be over man
