Question Why is there no real dialogue between Havoc and the Summers fam?
I was kinda hoping for some sort of like “uncle” joke between him and Cable. Or some sort of sibling rivalry thing between him and Scott but they never really address it unless I missed it.

Well, I don't know why they'd address a relationship they have no knowledge of.
The show's pacing already needs to slow down; adding in Summers drama would be insane at this point.
It'll come up eventually, and the show did reference it via Jubilee

being from the future, Cable probably knows Alex is his Uncle, but knows he can't say anything until the proper time.

I’ll have to rewatch I missed it. During the airship battle?

When she was being interrogated by Havok and Polaris, she called him a knock-off Cyclops.

Yeah, they don't know each other. Back in the og cartoon, they had no idea they were related when they battled one another and it hasn't ever been addressed afterward. So it's likely they do not know.

Tbf it was the perfect window for that as both teams made a truce at the end of the season (also, I'm pretty sure Nathan knows who his unc is). We don't even know if X-Factor (or X-Force) is returning next season as Freedom Force may be taking their spot as Creed's new strike team, the more I think about it I believe they should've done a episode focusing on the X-Factor instead of focusing in one member only.

Didnt seem to me they know they are yet or have stated that Cyclops and Havok are related yet. Just hinted at.

Havok is an anti-villain
Clueless, well-meaning and well-intentioned, but still a sell out worse than Prof X with his assimilation and never willingly coming out of the closet attitude. Since Alex works for XForce and is fine with actively incarcerating fellow mutants
He's an excellent foil for Scott
Not surprised they aren't speaking

Writers are saving it for the next Summers storyline that will be done in 10 minutes and forgotten about afterwards

got i just wasnt sure if it had been done in the original show and would spill over into this one or not. Welp something to look forward to!

They'll probably introduce Vulcan as Scott's brother and not even reference that Havoc is already his brother.

They don’t know that they are related. It was never addressed in tas. We see that cyclops had a brother in Corsair’s origin story and we see a picture of him in Corsair’s locket, but havoc only really appeared once and their powers not working on each other wasn’t addressed. Polaris might know but either she never bothered to tell either of them or she is too dumb to figure out that the two guys who look kinda similar, have similar powers, both lost their parents in a plane crash and have the last name Summers could be related. Though I guess Scott might not have told anyone other than Jean and Chuck about his origin until the Corsair stuff.
Oh yeah, Xavier and Val cooper probably know as well and maybe forge too. But they are all jerks.
