  • Another clue was a compass pointing southeast.

Cyclops on 'The Masked Singer' — The Guesses

After viewing the treasure map, multiple people seem to think that Cyclops is Sean Astin. If you recall, Sean starred as Mikey in 1985's The Goonies, a film that centers around a group of kids who embark on an adventure after discovering an old map. Others believe it's Johnny Depp, seeing as he portrayed Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Still others are convinced Cyclops could be Corey Feldman or Michael Rooker.

So, who is Cyclops on 'The Masked Singer'? The answer is… Jorge Garcia!

Not many saw it coming when Cyclops was revealed to be actor Jorge Garcia, best known for his role as Hurley on Lost. But looking back on the clues, so many of them should have tipped us off! A treasure map and a compass are clear allusions to Lost, and could also be connected to his work on Hawaii Five-0 and the upcoming film When We Were Pirates. The cowboy hat was a nod to his role in The Ridiculous 6, while the comic book was a hint that he's also a comedian.

Did you guess that Cyclops was Jorge? Tune in to see more contestants revealed when The Masked Singer airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Fox.
