Editing Cyclops (Marvel Comics) (section)

=== Civil War ===
{{Main|Civil War (comics)}}
Cyclops, along with the other living original X-Men, declare neutrality on the subject of [[Civil War (comics)|Civil War]], reasoning that the X-Men sympathized too much with [[Captain America]]'s side – who, like the X-Men, were persecuted for wanting to do the right thing – but believed that the mutant race had suffered too great a loss recently to take a side either way due to the recent depowering of so many mutants. [[Bishop (comics)|Bishop]] leaves the team to join the Registration supporters and locate the escaped [[X-Men: The 198|198]]. In ''Civil War: X-Men'' #2, Cyclops under mind control of Johnny Dee helps the futuristic X-Man in recovering them. Cyclops is then manipulated into attacking [[Bishop (comics)|Bishop]] which he does by overloading Bishop's power of energy absorption.<ref name="Civil War: X-Men #2">''Civil War: X-Men'' #2</ref>
