Genuine question, what do you like about Cyclops so much? I just can't see hiim as much else than bland, even when he gets decent storylines.

the thing is, his "blandness" is actually what makes adult cyclops compelling. a so-tragic-it's-overdone backstory, his only father figure grooming him to be the leader of a superhero team, and his lack of control over his power are why he is the way he is. he's uptight and doesn't fly off the handle because that was how he was brought up, and when he did lose control, there was usually a lot of property damage and danger to people. so his defense mechanism is to be stoic and dutiful, and when you put that next to "flirtatious cajun with questionable loyalty and a sense of danger," "occasionally murderous, lustful canadian wild man," and "witty, gentlemanly, blue german elf," then he seems bland by comparison. if he were a dc hero in a solo title, nobody would be calling him bland because he wouldn't have a wildly diverse team to be the anchor for.
