796 people showed up to that tournament hoping and dreaming to win the entire thing... BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH!
The legendary voice of Cyclops across TV and games, Norm Spencer, passed away six years ago today at the age of 62 🕊️
Norm Spencer was Cyclops. ❤️🕯️
Spencer gave Scott Summers the firm, commanding presence that made him feel like the X-Men’s field leader. He was also the voice behind those unforgettable “Previously, on X-Men…” recaps that instantly told fans another adventure was about to begin.
And his Marvel legacy didn’t stop with the show. Spencer carried Cyclops into Spider-Man: The Animated Series and classic fighting games, where his booming “Optic Blast!” became permanently attached to the character.
Some of his most remembered roles include:
Cyclops / Scott Summers (X-Men: The Animated Series)
Cyclops / Scott Summers (Spider-Man: The Animated Series)
Cyclops (X-Men: Children of the Atom)
Cyclops (X-Men vs. Street Fighter)
Cyclops (Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter)
Cyclops (Marvel vs. Capcom 2)
Drax the Destroyer (Silver Surfer)
Billy Blazes (Rescue Heroes)
Hades (Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend)
Sly Fox (Dumb Bunnies)
Cyclops has had other voices since.
But for fans who grew up with the ’90s X-Men, Norm Spencer is still the sound of Scott Summers putting on the visor and taking command.
Rest in peace, Norm Spencer. Six years gone, never forgotten. 🕊️
I genuinely feel bad for everyone too young to have tournament experiences like this.
If I didn't have to sleep next to the air conditioner and almost get frostbite while 10 other guys are snoring and barfing in the room, it didn't actually count as a major.
