Cyclops - AN MCU costume concept

Description

I've been doing a few designs now for a potential MCU x-men... but so far it has been x-men characters outside of X-men costumes. I did Wolverine img00.deviantart.net/4c9f/i/20… with his classic, pre x-men uniform and I did his counterpart in Sabertooth pre00.deviantart.net/0be4/th/p… by showing that their uniforms shared a common source...

This time around I wanted to go all out on a costume that is everything I want the X-men's team costumes to be. From the modern fabrics to the bright blue and yellow, I wanted to fully display the big features and how I would want to tackle them. Bright red badges and shields worn proudly to display an openly heroic and public persona. 

I chose Scott to represent everything that I feel like the X-men should be visually. Scott is the public face of the group. He is the leader. I wanted his costume to look like something modern, cutting edge, maybe a little futuristic, but ultimately somewhere between a police officer, military officer and maybe even a ships captain. He is the true blue hero... and I feel like the x-men, once made public, would be as well known as the avengers.  I also specifically chose to base this costume from existing SHIELD uniforms... because I figure that if you are Charles Xavier, building this team in the world that knows of the Avengers and after SHIELDS public fall from grace... you would take those things into account... Maybe divert a few orders of SHIELD tech, uniforms, etc... and then modify them to the purposes of your team. 

This IS purposeful. There is direct intention of a specific public image that they want projected here. Mutants are hated and feared... the idea here is to present the image of a team that can be trusted. Something that looks official... a sign that the mutants police their own.

Because of that, I also wanted to present a couple of variants to the public hero costume... A stealthier more subdued version complete with cowl, and then that same costume as covered by the blend coat... Truthfully, no, Scott would never simply blend in so long as he were wearing his visor. Its pretty conspicuous but at some point these heroes, are going to need to work in the shadows or disappear into a crowd...

I didn't armor him up very much because Scott's power is more of a distance weapon... but he did need to be able to fight. He may not be a brawler, but dude is perfectly capable when the occasion calls for it... so I wanted his costume to also reflect that.

Btw the actor under this costume is Jared Padalecki. He is a wonderful actor who has a strong screen presence. He can pull of the physicality and the heart of someone like Scott Summers in a genuine sort of way. 

I figure with nicknames like Stretch and Slim... He's a few years younger than my choice for Wolverine and significantly taller, but also looks like he could honestly give him a decent run in a fight.

btw, I also have Storm now www.deviantart.com/rainingcrow…

I LOVE your X-Men designs. Scott looks BADASS and I never thought I'd say that about Cyclops, I am ENVIOUS of your Logan designs, and I have yet to check storm, but I'm sure she looks great too. I'm not sure if you're planning it already, but I'd love to see how you'd translate my girl Rogue into the MCU in your style. You could get a lot of mileage from her starting green costume from Avengers Annual and then lead into her X-Men team uniform that could be the 90's Jim Lee version or whichever you think would be best. But, I'd LOVE to see your Rogue
