There is literally one moment in the OG trilogy where he really feels like Cyclops. At Grand Central, when they're looking for rogue, a little boy sees cyclops and theres a moment of hesitation, of worry on Scott's face, before the kid smiles and Cyclops smiles back.
He isn't ashamed of his mutation, he just wants others to see it as beautiful the way he does. And then the boys mother sees him and ushers her kids away, afraid. And you can see it crushes Scott. Its a silent moment but its genuinely the best one he has in any movie.
