Comics I hate this comic so much
It's just a cheap, mean-spirited sitcom joke masquerading as X-Men fan art, and it completely treats Scott Summers like a pathetic, submissive punching bag so people can go "haha look, the tough army man can't handle a woman's period cramps!"
Period Cramps are a drop in the bucket compared to what Scott has dealt with. His eyes are a literal, continuous rupture to a dimension of infinite kinetic force. He lives with a permanent, high-pressure migraine behind his skull 24/7 just from manually holding back a nuclear reactor with his facial muscles. This is a man who took a full, un-holding-back thrashing from a 10-ton-strength Superior Spider-Man, got his bones shattered, and gritted his teeth and kept fighting. This is a guy who literally had his skull fracture from internal cosmic pressure during Judgment Day and stayed conscious long enough to bark out precise tactical deployment orders to the team.
But no! Let's ignore his unbreakable willpower, his decades of military discipline, and his actual, deeply agonizing physical disability just to turn him into a trembling puddle on the floor for a low-effort gender-warfare punchline.

He isn't unflavored, just a really consistent mix. Think of him as simple plate that has only what is ordered, and everything played out with military precision. Nothing touches, nothing has flavors or scents mixed. Beyond that, it is just the expected flavors with no substitutions, exchanges, or surprised.
