I think Morrison just picked up on some the weirdness in the Scott/Jean relationship from the Lee/Kirby and Claremont/Byrne runs. Jean, especially in the Phoenix days (I refuse the retcon) was kinky, and Scott was always angry and screwed up (abandonment issues plus his physical deformity). I've never seen Scott as having healthy sexual relationship. He needs a strong woman to dominate him even though he resents her and hates himself for it.
Actually, Morrison was continuing from the most recent previous writer, Scott Lobdell, who was cuing off a storyline by the great Alan Davis. In X-Men No. 98, Cyclops was thought lost, having been forcibly merged with Apocalypse. Cyclops was missing from the book for a year, until Jean Grey and Cable finally rescued him in the Search for Cyclops mini. Having spent so much time trapped inside Apocalypse, Scott emerged a much darker character, as shown in a brief run by Lobdell just before Morrison took over. In fact, there's also a subtle thing with the art: Before the Apocalypse storyline, Cyclops always used a gold visor. Ever since, the darker Cyclops has used a dark gray/silver visor.


Why can't they just let her have her imaginary babies and her robot husband? Look what happens when she doesn't!
