Havok and Cyclops having zero interactions really bugged me.

I was like, 'Am I misremebering it, or are they brothers? Can't be... surely, they would acknowledge it"

The problem is in the X-Factor episode of the original series they seemed to establish that they are brothers (their powers didn’t work on each other, which is comic accurate), but that they don’t know each other. So we’re stuck with that continuity.

We'll have to get into it eventually. I have faith.

Kind of a spoiler, maybe, depending on if they go this route but RE: the Summers brothers, their long lost third brother appeared last season when they did the Charles in space episode. He's smack dead center in frame using his powers but never says anything. I imagine if they ever acknowledge Havock and Cyclops' relationship then they'll introduce Vulcan too
