Best Cyclops Costume Guide
Cyclops is a Marvel superhero and founding member of the X-Men team that was originally created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. First appearing in X-Men #1, Scott Summers is a mutant with a special power of shooting powerful beams of energy from his eyes. The character also appeared in the popular X-Men movie, portrayed by James Marsden. We also got a glimpse into his younger years in the X-Men: Origins films. By controlling the beams with the aid of special eyewear, Cyclops fights off the bad guys with optical blasts from his eyes. Get the look of the original X-Men member with this Cyclops costume guide.
Cyclops keeps his look pretty simple, so you only really need a few items to cosplay his X-Men style! Start with an X-Men Cyclops Jacket, a pair of Black Leather Pants, Men’s Black Combat Shoes, and Black Leather Gloves. Of course, Cyclops literally can’t go anywhere without his Cyclops Sunglasses to keep his powers in check!
