#ticklish!cyclops

AN: I am very excited for the next season of X-Men 97' so I've been having a LOT of X-Men brainrot lately (mainly about Scott Summers, I've def got a crush). I've had a lot of these headcannons in my head for a while so apologies if they seem random lol. There's also a bit of Scott x Jean in this, I don't really ship them but it ended up fitting well into my headcannons.

This one is just Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, and Wolverine but I'll likely do more in the future. And a lot of these headcannons are a mix of the comics and the cartoons since that's mainly what I know.

---------------------------------------------------------

Cyclops (Scott Summers)

I've got a LOT to say about him so buckle up

He's definitely not the most ticklish person ever but you can still get him if you know where to touch

His spots are his knees, back, shoulders, and sides

As a Ler he tends to be more playful then he normally allows himself

He mainly tickles Jean, especially when they were younger

Tickling her awake, poking her ribs every so often, and gently teasing her is common between them

"You still giggle the same as when you were a teenager."

"Your laugh is so pretty, wish I could hear it more."

With Magik I see him doing it less but being a bit more ruthless

He's not above fluttering a few fingers on her neck in passing or making a quick comment about one of her tickle spots

"Illyana focus! You're leaving your side open. You should be more careful, especially considering how ticklish you are."

"If you stayed on your guard, I wouldn't be able to tickle you so much."

I don't really see him tickling anyone else except for Warren though I can only see him doing it when they were younger

When he was on the Champions (one of my fav teams btw) I imagine he only teased but never joined in on any real tickling

"Jeez Miles, you're really ticklish. No wonder Kamala has such an easy time tickling you."

He's just watching most of the time because he has trouble loosening up

Onto the Lee stuff now

When he was younger, I feel like people tried to tickle him a lot

Trying to be stoic and nonchalant doesn't really work when your friend group is a bunch of teenagers looking for ways to mess around

So whenever Scott was being broody or just a dork in general he typically could count on someone poking his back or skittering their fingers over his knee

He pretended to hate it but secretly he loved it because aww my friends want to see me smile

Into adulthood he got tickled a lot less by everyone but Jean

Though now she was tickling him in a much more romantic way then before

Tracing his back in bed to make him gasp, gently dragging her nails over his shoulders, and giving pokes to his side whenever she wanted a kiss

"J-Jean stop! That tickles!"

"I know! Isn't it cute?"

As far as teasing goes, he isn't really affected by it

He's too caught up in 'wow I love getting to feel like I'm a part of something so nice' to care what people are saying

Slight sidebar but let me get this out:

There was this issue of the Champions where Scott gets hit with residual energy that makes him just blurt out whatever he's feeling and be super emotionally all over the place

What if they find out he likes tickling (cause he's just saying whatever pops into his head) and that he wants to join in on their tickle fights but doesn't because he puts a lot of pressure on himself to be the mature/leader/stoic person

So they all decide to tickle him and he wants to act like he hates it but he can't hide how good of a time he's having bc of the energy thing??

Would that not be the cutest thing ever

And after they definitely tease him about it and give him pokes here and there

Maybe he finally feels more comfortable to let loose more and joins a tickle fight IDK LET THE MAN BE HAPPY

Jean Grey

She's definitely ticklish, no doubt about it

Her spots are her ribs, neck, and hips

Ler wise I think she's a bit of a tickle monster

You'd never suspect it from her but she's no stranger to being playful

Her nails are a deadly weapon and are fearing by her victims

Like I mentioned before, Scott gets more intimate tickles from her cause she mainly gets him in bed when they cuddle

She's no stranger to tickling Storm as well, the often exchange pokes and have had tickle fights in the past

(Storm wins most of the time though)

She also pokes Logan sometimes though not much more then that since his revenge tends to be brutal

As a teen, she would always join in on tickle fights when asked (though she mainly got called in when Scott was being tickled because everyone knew he had a crush and it was a good way to mess with him)

As a lee, she definitely gets her fair share of tickles

Her laugh is very sweet and girlish, on top of that she's a big giggler

Storm wins most of their tickle fights because when she's tickling her brain is going right to protecting herself rather then tickling back

"Jean, you might win more if you tried to tickle me back."

"I can't! It's too ticklish!"

Logan also tickles her a bit when he's in a good mood, he often tricks her into leaving herself open to a poke

"Hey Jeanie, look over there."

"Where?-"

poke

Of course she knows he's tricking her, but she lets it happen anyway because like Scott she doesn't mind tickling

As a teenager, she got her fair share of tickling

Warren, Bobby, and Beast have tickled her more often then not though they're always a bit gentler with her

Storm (Ororo Munroe)

She's more ticklish then you might think, but she's good at holding it in

Her spots are her feet, sides, hands, and hips

She's not much of a ler but she definitely tickles Jean and Logan the most

She's good at tickling because of how sweet she can be when doing it

She can also use her powers to use the wind to her advantage against more sensitive lees

When she tickles Jean, she teases her a lot

She likes to build up anticipation before she goes in to tickle

"You're smiling already?"

"Goodness, I haven't even touched you yet!"

Now as a lee

While Jean may not be able to beat her in a tickle fight, others certainly can

While she was married to T'Challa, she was tickled often

Kisses to her palms and pokes to her sides weren't uncommon in their private moments

Though amongst the X-Men, Logan tends to sneak up on her with quick fingers tickling from behind

And of course, even Jean has gotten her pretty good from time to time

Her laugh is rich and smooth, though she's been known to snort

Teasing normally won't work on her unless it's from a lover, in which case she will blush

Wolverine (Logan Howlette)

He's easily one of the most ticklish people on the list but he'd never let anyone know

His spots are his stomach (cannon!), underarms, and ears

As a ler he can be very playful when he wants to be

With younger mutants that he has a soft spot for, tickling is a must

If he's taken you under his wing, you can bet that he'll be tickling you whenever you're anxious or being a bit too sassy with him

"C'mon kid, you were so talkative a minute ago. Got a case of the giggles?"

"Well I couldn't just let you frown all day. Otherwise you'll turn out looking like Cyclops and that's a fate worse then death."

Among friends, he isn't as outright about his tickling but that doesn't mean he's any less playful

He doesn't mind tickling Storm if they're bantering or just to lighten the mood

Jean also gets a few pokes from him from time to time

He's tried to tickle Nightcrawler in the past but he's hard to catch (for obvious reasons)

He's the least playful when he's tickling for revenge

He has to keep his tough guy reputation somehow, and if that means tickling someone to tears? so be it

"You wanted to tickle me, huh bub? Look who's laughin' now?"

When he's a lee, he rarely lets it be for long

Logan tries his best to seem like a tough guy, so he never lets himself get tickled without a fight

He even makes Storm work for it if she wants to tickle him

(This one is more for X-Men 97') Morph frequently tickles him and teases him relentlessly about it, they're the only ones to really get the drop on Logan without being thrown halfway across the room

Most of the time, he's snarling or staring you down if you try to tickle him

His laughter tends to start as small huffs but can easily grow louder
