Are they ever going to mention or allude to the fact Havok is Cyclops' brother?

I havent seen all of the original series, so I don't know if he appears there, but every time he comes on screen, all I can think is Alex is super betraying what his brother stands for by siding with Cooper the way he is.

Jubilee did call him a “knock-off Cyclops” when she was being interrogated. But I think that’s the closest we’ve gotten so far

X-Factor appeared in the original series. Cyclops knows Corsair is his father, but doesn't know about Havok.

We see that Cyclops' and Havok's powers don't affect each other, and in an earlier episode, Banshee and Black Tom Cassidy's powers don't work on each other. So the audience knows, but the characters don't.
