* MommasBoy: Discussed. The young Cyclops, in a {{Jerkass}} moment, calls Bobby a "mama's boy" when he says he doesn't want to leave his parents - although it's implied that one of his concerns is leaving them alone to face the consequences after he's been outed as a mutant ''and'' been broken out of jail. This is before Xavier suggests LaserGuidedAmnesia as a solution, though.
