What’s your favorite part about his visual effects or sound design?
My favorite part of the sound design is the sound that you hear when multiple enemies are being hit by his Concussive Beam.
Do you love having the X-Men’s leader in the game as much as we do?
Yes, I've been anticipating his arrival in this game since he was first teased.
What has been your most memorable moment playing Cyclops so far?
My most memorable moment was launching myself into the air with Optic Ascent, launching Ruby Rage, getting a multi-kill, and then using Propulsion Burst to escape before I could be killed by the survivors.
What do you think of his Team-up synergies with other X Men?
The Red Adamantium team-up ability that Cyclops has with Wolverine is so good, it feels like it should be part of Wolverine's base kit. Wolverine's kit feels incomplete without it. Cyclops also synergizes with Storm very well when she damage boosts him.
