Oh I know the story behind it, and Claremont hated it, but that's still the path his character went down, and to me, that is when Cyclops became an A class jackass. Anything he has done afterwards will never be as low as that because it was at that moment in time when his character became unredeemable. Any other disreputable acts he does is just par for the course as he showed his true colors at that very moment.
