Did Jean Grey manipulate Cyclops into being her boy toy

Maybe it's insane troll logic, maybe it's the lack of screen time & characterization given to Jean, but there's no denying that based on what little we see of her and her ahem "relationship" with Cyclops (and I use that term loosely) in this series that their so called romance is clearly dysfunctional and unhealthy, which makes it hard to root for Cyclops when he's all emo & obsessed with finding her - regardless of who you ship you'll spend the whole series wishing he would just forget about Jean & hook up with Emma (I'm guessing this may have been deliberate since Emma was still Cycke's girlfriend in the comics at the time while Jean was very much dead, yet the series r. On the whole Cyclops is the one who comes away looking the worst for it - he had to be the jobber so Jean would look good in her fight with Magneto in the flash back, then he's revealed to have been insanely petty enough to sucker-blast Wolverine for taunting him about Jean (which retroactively makes Jean look better in the pilot where she's giving him a hard time about apologizing to Wolverine), and then Jean disappears & Cyclops spends the rest of the series in need of obvious psychiatric treatment that the X-Men are either too cheap or too lazy to provide... and yet despite the show's cheerfully, deliberately unsympathetic depiction of Cyclops (not surprising given that show-runner Craig Kyle apparently hates the character & is prone to writing him badly in the comics) Jean apparently still wants him & throws a fit when she sees Emma Frost kissing Cycke when he's unconscious and proceeds to violently bind Emma to a wall with pipes, which is supposed to be understandable anger yet makes Jean look clingy & possessive towards Cyclops, which is far from romantic and, like Jean calling out his name when she's in la-la-land or yells at him to not take on the Phoenix & even when she runs to him & hugs him after Emma blows up, doesn't really do a convincing job of proving that she loves him. Oh I know it should, but it just doesn't, partly because of the already mentioned lack of screen time, a characterization that ends at being voiced by Jennifer Hale (a wonderful actress wasted on what was little more than a cameo), and the unintentionally funny execution, especially the unintentionally funny way Jennifer Hale yelled her lines in some of those scenes.

Anyhow, looking back at this series it's actually quite easy to get the feeling Jean might have been manipulating Cyclops into being her boy toy all along, with or without her powers, depending on how easily one believes this show's version of Cyclops could be manipulated (it's not like we haven't seen telepaths casually mind-rape people to get what they want in other incarnations of the X-mythos). That "cute" look teen Jean gives teen Cyclops in the "Breakdown" flashbacks could be interpreted as Jean having read his mind and her being amused at how seemingly useless Cycke is/was, then you have Jean protecting/rescuing/saving him from Magneto & then basically using him like a gun to bring the older more interesting character down, which is meant to look romantic and kind of ship-worthy, but just looks more like Jean establishing dominance & control over a weak willed teen boy with bad self-esteem; even the sight of young Jean putting the visor back on young Cyclops's face instead of just letting him do that himself looks less like a gesture of affection and more like Jean metaphorically putting a leash on Cycke, effectively making him her "pet".

A "pet" who grows up to have some serious anger management issues, which are set off all too easily by Wolverine, and Jean chastises him the way any dog owner would chastise their pet for biting a stranger - and Jean comes across feeling she needs to tighten her leash on Cycke. It's clear that this is not a healthy relationship, as it appears to be built not on love but on neediness & insecurities - with Cyclops being both needy & insecure, and Jean looking like she was just stringing him along for her own amusement at having someone be that dependent on her, and continues to keep stringing him along because she's used to it, having it be part of her routine, or perhaps because, for whatever reason, she likes being the center of his universe, the beacon of hope he turns to in time of doubt, the princess to his wannabe hero, etc. There may not have been enough time to completely establish Wolverine as Jean's "soul mate" as so many incarnations are oft want to do, but undoubtedly that's where they would have gone, given the show's status as a love letter to all things Wolvie.

This rather dysfunctional & unhealthy situation between Cycke & Jean makes the death of Emma Frost even more tragic at the end, seeing as how early on it felt that Emma, despite being a spy, was there to rescue Cycke from an obviously unhealthy relationship & work environment. And yes, I'm aware that she was slated to come back in season 2 but that got canned, and Cyclops, rightly or wrongly, remains a prisoner of an unhealthy relationship, bound to a woman who never seemed to care about him half as much as he did about her. The odds of this being changed to a really beautiful & touching love story in season 2 are highly unlikely, just as unlikely as Greg Johnson's boasting that Cyclops would have finally redeemed himself in season 2, if only for the simple fact that it would detract from gushing on Wolverine (which only happens when Nightcrawler is in the spot light).

I know some people will probably dislike this fan interpretation of Jean based on this show, say there's no real evidence to support it, say it would be completely out of character for Jean to do such a thing as suggested here, but when the character is one big void you have to put something there.
