Whats wrong with cyclops becoming uber, everyone else is getting upgrades, I honestly think that cyclops deserves it, especially with everything that has happened to him.
It's like Batman becoming uber. Yes Cyclops is a mutant, but his only power is optic blasts, the rest of his abilities are basically human. He has trained to be the person that he is. He didn't automatically know how to change the frequency and force of his blast, he had to take the time and learn.

Quite sadly, I don't think the X-Books have been quite as bad in years ..
pre-Messiah Complex we've had Astonishing X-Men and X-Factor which were quite awesome, with the Adjectivless X-Men and Uncanny not that far behind.
Now, it seems like they're pumping uninteresting stories (at least, for me), and some forced character moments to try and make some of the characters seem badass (like the case above, or the Storm moment in Uncanny 500 where she talked like a generic Silver Age mentally handicapated character) and fail miserably.
