Filling up my tank led to an unexpected fan connection

I wore my old X-Men shirt to the gas station yesterday. The attendant pointed at it and went on a long, passionate chat about Cyclops' leadership skills, which was both absurd and awesome. What's the funniest place you've bonded with another comic fan?

Cyclops? Good leader? That's the shocking part right there. Dude is the poster boy for following the rules too hard. Would take Wolverine's chaos any day. Arguing his merits while pumping gas is next level.

Seriously? He learned to break rules!

Ever read the comics after House of M? The guy kept the mutant race alive when there were like 200 left. His rule following built Utopia and he ran X-Force, which was basically a kill squad. That's not just about order, it's about doing what needs to be done.

Heard a buddy ranting about this exact thing last week, totally backing up @robinson.aaron. Said Cyclops made the hard calls everyone else was too scared to make, and that's what kept them alive.
