Why is Cyclops considered one of the most powerful mutants on the X-Men? He has no defensive powers, he's not strong or agile, he can't fly. All he can do is hit you with a strong blast if your standing in front of him and can't dodge fast enough. That's about as effective as using a gun.
>>
>>84719444
>standing in front of him
Read more comics
>>
>>84719586
He can shoot blasts out of the back of his head? They go pretty wide but you still have to be in front of them.
>>
>>84720122
His optic blasts come from another dimension
>>
>>84720181
But which dimension?
>>
>>84719444
>one of the most powerful mutants

Because a lot of the X-men are shitty.

He's just not an idiot most of the time.
>>
>>84720122
He can also do Cap-shield style ridiculous ricochet beams and apparently has super angle-calculation as a secondary power
Which he also uses to cheat at pool
>>
>>84719444
He can break every bone in your body and send you to Kingdom Come by giving you a stinky eye.
>>
>>84720122
Non-sarcastic reply: the optic-force blasts can be bounced off of objects and Cyclops apparently is pretty good at gauging angles, so technically a blast could bounce around to hit something behind him.

Been a while since I read any X-Men, so I don't remember too clearly how he makes it bounce instead of just blasting through whatever's in front of him.

Well, there are a few reasons

1. His optic blasts are scary as fuck. He can level mountain ranges if he really lets go.
2. He's very accurate with them, with Captain America-tier angling.
3. He's a VERY competent strategist, leading the X-Men to victory from sure defeat many times.
4. Back in the old days, he had the support of the entire X-Men because he such a reliable leader and a kind, trustworthy person.
5. He's one of the most disciplined men in the world, with a will that's nearly impossible to break. This is the result of him having to learn to walk around and live with an uncontrollable mutation that could kill someone if he fucks up even once.
6. He's in very good shape and is a very competent combatant, thinks quick on his feet and has trained rigorously for the majority of his life.
>>
>>84720219
They're punches. From the punch dimension

I'm not kidding
>>
>>84719444
He also has to press his visor with his hand for it to work. He has no control of his beams. Just like a gun.
>>
>>84719444

His brain has a mutation. Makes him super human at strategy. >>84720258 like these guys say he uses it for beams and leadership. Also keeps him from killing himself with those beams.
>>
>>84720564
>4. Back in the old days, he had the support of the entire X-Men because he such a reliable leader and a kind, trustworthy person.
I'm not sure "he was the standard whitebread leader type for decades" is that good a point for him
>>
>>84720683
He has an activation switch in his glove
>>
>>84720739
>Also keeps him from killing himself with those beams.
He's actually immune to his own beams. Same deal as how his and Havok's powers don't work on each other.
>>
>>84720564
also he emits a low mental frequency that causes telepaths to wet themselves.

Seriously the only one that I think didn't try to jump his bones is Rachel and they're related.
>>
>>84720784

Why not? I don't think you'd wanna mess with a guy who could bring an entire population of mutants down on your head.

writers invented the convenient concept of "omega-level mutants" to designate what you call "the most powerful mutants on the X-Men"

Just read Claremont's run from the beginning and see for yourself. One of Cyclops's biggest badass moments comes in Uncanny 175, but to really appreciate that story you have to start with Giant-Size 1 because 175 is the climax of a slow-burn sequel to the Phoenix and Dark Phoenix stories.

How much power does the punch dimension have? What would happen if cyclopes kept his eyes open and never shut them
>>
>>84720258
So it's light enough to bounce off concrete, but hard enough to concuss an opponent?
>>
>>84723653
You see, he's called cyclops because one eye is for the bouncing punches and the other for the destructive punches. When he's using the glasses he can pick which punch use, and when he takes them off you get double punching power.
>>
>>84719444
He isn't. He's got good leadership skills and his blasts are strong as fuck but he isn't even close to "one of the most powerful mutants on the X-Men".

He's a one-trick pony that is afraid of using his one trick.
It's easy to see why he's considered weak.
There are good reasons for thinking of him as being so powerful:
It's not just that he can blast mountains into dust and vaporize heavy machinery with a glance (and there's issues with that stuff happening) but he also has amazing pinpoint accuracy and the ability to make impossible bankshots instinctively.
Given that he can, but never does, simply walk around zap-punching all his opponents and ending fights within seconds, he does look like a weakling.
But he could be baddass if he ever actually wanted to hurt someone...

They do.
Forge instinctively knows how to built tech even when he doesn't know how it works.
Magneto and Polaris both can instictively identify differences in magnetic fields, they don't teach that sh*t anywhere.
Beast's reflexes and superhuman balance involves instinctual understanding of physics, weight distribution, momentum, and who knows what else.
Elixir found out he was a mutant when he first instinctively acted to use his healing abilities, same story with that Triage guy.

54KB, 289x470px
Here's a question: Why is Storm considered one of the most powerful mutants?
She's completely worthless in an enclosed environment.
I get that she can monsoon Kansas to death anytime she wants, always a useful skill, but her go-to attack is pansy-ass underpowered hand-lightning. Even her back-up move of a big gust of wind isn't going to win any battles.
Why the respect?
For Goddess's sake, the one time there's a weather-related (Inhuman-Death-Cloud) threat she still isn't useful to anyone.
>>
>>84729058
Don't think it's instinctive, pretty sure it was drilled into him at the institute.

She can't dissipate the terrigan cloud without pissing off all the Inhumans and redirecting it is dangerous as it makes her powers unstable by proximity. There was a recent X-Force where she does actually start redirecting it but the strain from doing so leaves her vulnerable to the enemies who knock her out so that she can't anymore.

As to power, she can use her lightning to alter molecules, and can generate enough power to make Herald level enemies take notice, see pic related.

>>
>>84719444
he's not. anyone could beat the shit out of him simply by wearing ruby quartz armor. the whole thing with his visor allowing him to have the blasts go through it by him "thinking about it" doesn't explain the energy traveling through his visor as a medium. it's kind of a dumb power. at least with beast it's plausible that genetics can advance someone physically and mentally, or with iceman it's already a power he has to bend the laws of thermodynamics. with cyclops it's "oh energy is blocked by inanimate ruby quarts but magically goes through ruby quartz when i want it to"

You act as if cyclops relies on his optic blast to win battles.
See pic related.
>>
>>84734365
He can shoot through the quartz.
They've shown him shattering glasses and visors when he gets mad enough, and there's been text to back that up.
Also, he's been shown shooting optic beams through the lenses of his wrap-around glasses without destroying them.
(that could have been an artist's oversight though, then it gets repeated by others)

But... that's exactly why I want that to happen.

He's been listed as a black belt in Judo at least since Claremont's days.

Well no. He relied on Wolverine but Wolverine was sometimes to busy drinking to help, so that's why Cyke pulled a Kony.

He knows that if you train them at a young age they'll follow you to their death. They do the same shit in American. Kill off villages and keep the young males to make them soldiers. I wish I was a smart as cyclops and had my own army of children to do my bidding.

>>
>>84734634

It'd be a tough battle but I'd still give it to cyke. If he can't blast you he's going to use the terrain. Beast and Nightcrawler even with additional protections are probably the worst people in the world to fight him. He knows both of them and knows exactly how they fight. He'll see every move coming before they think of it.

he won't see nightcrawler teleporting behind him but he WILL see beast's kicks but won't be fast enough to react because beast is faster. cyclops does not have advanced strength or agility.
>>
>>84734710

Read the comics boyo. "muh strategy" is exactly how Scott has defeated the entire team before. Every time Scott fights a fellow X-Man he win based on his intimate knowledge of them as an individual. Optic blasts are the least part of his combat ability.
>>
>>84734710
>if cyclops could do all that without powers, he would be a self sufficient team unto himself and would not need other mutants to carry out his goals

the scenario was beast or nightcrawler. He knows he needs a team to defeat the enemies that come against them that's why he is always leading a team. I nor anyone else said he could beat the entire marvel universe all at once or even one at a time.
>>
Considering most folks in the marvel universe aren't bullet proof, being a walking gun seems good enough. His powers aren't what makes him dangerous though, it's his ability to get shit done.

Yeah, Cyclops once said that the reason he got so buff was because he figured the human-type body he has is as much a part of his natural mutant abilities as his optic blasts, or for that matter someone like Beast or Colossus' physical forms, and so there wasn't any sense in finding the limits of utilizing one aspect of his abilities if he didn't push the limits of them all.
If that sounds a bit obsessive, don't blame him, it's Xavier that put the thought into his head.
>>
>>84734614
That's bullshit. Are they considering Storm a reality warper now?
>>
>>84734706

see
>>84726120

he can't control the beams like that without his hand changing the concentration and power knob. there are not enough eye muscles for him to do it on his own. i like this diagram that touches on crystallography a whole fuckin lot, but it does not explain the the control of how the optic beam can widen the angle.

again, he can't control the power without using a hand to turn a knob on his head, and if he get his arm broken, immobilized, or even swatted away for a moment, game over.
>>
>>84734849
Think of his eyes as a water main and his visor as the faucet. The more the visor opens, the wider the angle is.

Most writers don't really bother to think of how exactly this shit works while writing him anymore, but that's how it's supposed to be.

As for his visor controls, there's a manual one on the visor itself and a remote on his hand. That's how he's able to OPTIC BLAST people while his arms are restrained or whatever.
>>
>>84734776

She's able to control the local environment and redirect and absorb it's powers.
If she's in outer space she can manipulate cosmic energy and starlight
If it's in hell she can rain hell fire from everywhere and breath deathflam, if it's in a dimension where clouds of razor sharp diamonds form in the air, she would be able to shoot razor sharp diamonds at people.

She's also some kind of martial arts prodigy and is genetically related to some queen bitch super mage that is aged genghis tier. Meaning, that if she was found by a coven of witches or a mage as a child and trained in magic....then there is a good possibility that she would have beaten steven strange and become the sorceress supreme.

i can't remember when it was, but cyclops lost his powers or something (maybe it was all new x-men)? maybe it was after phoenix force, i don't know, but when he tried to optic blast, the light itself went zigzagging through the air. it was ill conceived. it's not just the writers, it might be artists too

>the more the visor opens the wider the angle is
and there's the rub. by the nature of the quarts on that blueprint thing posted above, there would be no way to have a small, concentrated beam that is focused because the angle of the ruby quartz is suck that the intensity goes down because it is directly correlated with the angle. light is not concentrated like the gas in a blow torch because there is less area unless it is redirected. the ruby quartz shading does not account for the redirection that would be required
>>
>>84734842

>>84734921
Utilization ones resources is not a fault. Very few of the X-men could strategically win battles like he does.
>>
>>84734947
Only because he's a mortal human and she's the default devil-goddess of Limbo.
Half of his spells are just calling on old bargains, with THINGS like her, to use their magic.
She doesn't have to sell her soul to the devil, she already is the devil.

Yeah, that was during Bendis's run when the powers of the former Phoenix Five were "broken." That entire subplot was stupid and ill-conceived.

Cyclops's optic blasts aren't actually light, though. People treat them like lasers sometimes, but that's not what they are or how they're supposed to work at all.

Same deal as them starting fires in the movies and shit. It may seem like they "should," but that's not what they actually do.

Cyclops is a tactical and strategical master, sinestro, ozymandias or Aizen level.
-NIghtcrawler leadership was so pathetic he never tried to do it again after austen run
-Storm is leading the X men right now, and she's kissing medusa feet, quite the leader
-Cable is too violent for a regular team, he's more fitting for black ops
-Same for wolverine
-Magneto is too violent and unthrusworthy, he also treats people as pawns
-Madrox is good at street level bu he can't win a war

Cyclops has been leading the X men since day one, he knows all of them, how they work together, how they interact, how their power works and on top of it he's been trying to make bridges with humans all his lifes so he gots lot of politcal experience with them. He's also most of the time a humble person and not a god wannabe wich makes him far more relatable to the persons he wants to help

>i like this comic book character because he's a comic book character

okay cool, that's way more subjective and you should have just said "because i like him because that's my preference" right from the start. i for one don't see the appeal. i prefer beast, nightcrawler, cable, and forge. with beast it's genetic enhanced evolution, with nightcrawler it's dimensional powers, with cable it's a power that from the start is more "spiritual" psionic stuff i guess you could call it... but his gun is from the future so that's advanced technology. and with forge at his mutant power has variations in ingenuity. none of those characters have conflicting stories about their far fetched powers, they're more stable. the eye beam power doesn't translate well.

i think cyclops is popular because he's perceived as a bossy alpha white male, not because he's an interesting character or his powers are well explained. i'm not about that life, it's not compelling to me.

1) DC is less appealing than Marvel

3) the bar is low because, as consumers, fans similar to cyclops fans keep spending money on comics that showcase characters with the bar set low

I actually never really much liked Scott that much, and I really can't stand the total asshole that he's become in recent years.

then he would have known better than to keep secrets from beast. he would have known to keep beast as a confidant, he would have kept beast in the loop.

if he did know how beast react and did it anyway, cyclops is either A) taking beast for granted, B) trying to alienate Beast from the rest of the team including Iceman, Beast's best friend and C) also willing to disregard Magneto, another strategist, by saying what Beast did with the bring O5 to the present "didn't matter"

>bullseye should be a fucking cosmic lvl character then

Why? cause other characters aren't sniper proof? The danger of a sniper to even the most skilled/powerful hero is that the bullet reaches you well before the sound does. You have no advance warning unless you're Spiderman. If you aren't bullet proof or haven't been able to react as soon as a bullet hits you to defend yourself (as the flash has) this means that a sniper can kill you.

So, any argument that "hurf durf, a sniper can take him out" applies to about ninety percent of all heroes. I'm not slobbering all over sniper dick, any ambush guy with a gun qualifies. It's dumb as fuck to do this shit in comics too.

I mean, anyone remember super Nick Fury with his super sniper rifle in Original Sin? That shit was so bad I retroactively hated Marvel comics that I used to like. It was so bad that it made things that happened before it worse.

I honestly liked it better when literally everything every X-Man ever did wasn't a mutant power.
When Claremont wrote him that trick wasn't a superpower at all; it was just something he practiced over and over and over again until he got good at it.

Like Cap and his shield.
>>
>>84722402
In Cyke's defense, the uncontrollability combined with the sheer power of his mutation is fairly unusual.
Even extremely powerful mutants like Storm, who is personally capable of ridiculous ecological damage with her powers, actually need to expend effort to use their powers and it tires them to use them too much too often, and need practice to use the upper limits of them.
Cyke's dial was set to 11 permanently and then snapped off, and it never runs out and he never gets tired; this is fairly rare in terms of mutant powers.

He was a follower both times, using his agility and strength in combat. Not his brains.

He does, but formerly he was a shitty team player. He's good in a fight but tends to think in straight lines ("run at them with my claws and aim for vitals"), and was never a team leader.
Until recently, but like literally everything new about Wolverine it's basically dogshit fueled by his popularity. Apparently some faggoty-ass writers can't stand their favorite if he's not perfect.
>shadowcat
Smarter then you'd think at tactics, but not a leader temperamentally speaking. When a character is "put in charge" this actually does nothing for their knowledge and personality; it's just a writer showing blatant favoritism without actual backround put into it and without caring if it makes any sense at all.

Like Forge, she's smart but not a leader.
>monet
Smart as hell, but such a huge bitch in terms of personality that she's kind of going to grate on people. She can hardly even speak without sounding condescending most of the time.

I know being Peter Parker is suffering, but do you you know how many decades it took for him to get a suit of unstable particles? All these MUGGAS getting them without even saying high to the FF. They probably stole them. Pic related He's a thief

What the fuck are are you on about? Beast has got to be the most captured mutant in all of comic history. Like he is the Daphne of muggas. Dark beast, Osborne, Sinister, Apocalypse, the US government and a billion others. Hank has never been a character known for his field work he can't fight to save his life even when he has Spiderman tier abilities

Jesus, someone's a little salty. Facts are facts. If a mutant can change one thing into another thing, even if it's underwear to a snickers bar, they're a reality warper. We all know Storm is the biggest gd mary sue anyway. She's amazingly powerful, knows how to fight, can pick any lock, is a black woman with naturally straight hair and blue frigging eyes.

When you put all that amazing into one character they always wind up being shit. Oh, and she likes to be called goddess and was a queen until she got tired of it. FFS

He's had a shit ton of training, problem is that he has forgotten it from how long he's lived and he easily loses his temper and just goes full berserker rage.

Given how often Xavier is uncrippled, it is surprising that Scott never gets the brain damage that keeps him from controlling his powers healed.

That finally got explained in Whedon's run as being that his inability to control his powers were an adopted psychosomatic ailment used as a means to control himself and thus avoid the dreaded (as Emma put it) "abandon" that he feared so as a child.
So Em' temporarily "cured" Scott just in time for a big classic style X-Men space adventure.
And that's all you need to know about that for now.

I remember a comic where Cyclops was locked up in a specially designed cell that used a red light on a certain wavelength to neutralize his powers.

But I'm not sure if that's real or was just my imagination...

>>84754651
He wasn't actually shot though. Quicksilver ran up and pushed the bullet through his head so fast no one saw it.

>>84775002
He predates Rockslide by two years.
>>
>>84775638
And spent most of his existence in limbo/jail while Rockslide was getting actual character development and a personality. Which Glob is stealing

Lemire literally doesn't know the difference between the two. That's why he's made Glob and Anole best friends

Do we really need to talk about how original Rockslide is?
I swear I've seen him in an anime from two decades ago.
And does Ben Grimm know about his bastard love child?

I liked the Basilisk costume with the mask that splits open down the middle, and the fact that he had his eyelids ripped off so he couldn't close his eyes was pretty brutal.

>tfw this is 100% accurate
The effects of his blasts don't affect him. Thereby there would be none of the push back that would otherwise make this sort of thing 'troll-science' tier. Given there would be no counter force at all or it would be felt in the punch-zone he really technically should be able to do this given the nature of his powers.

Shut the Fuuuuuuuck UP with that shitpost crap.
I should report you for posting that rule violation imagery.

The only reason fans want to see his powers expand to flight abilities is because there's always been text about how much he wants to fly and how naturally he takes to being a pilot.
Given that his powers have never fully developed, and that there's no set rule about it being an eye's only thing, the potential for something like what Cannonball does is there.
So get over it and stop shitposting.
>>
>>84777019
Not him, but what the fuck is your problem?
>>
>>84777019
Excuse me but it's canon that his blasts have reduced effects on him. Thereby the counter force would be less than the force and it would propel him.
Sorry friend.
Further, I don't care if he flies or not in the actual books I just think the idea is cool, is all.

No way, that crazy b-witch is only all about the hardcore "I deserve this" version of S/m, that might have been good enough for that Basilisk identity but the modern X-clops has sampled the perversions that Emma Frost had to offer.
There's no way he could downgrade from that.

In a similar vein, X-Men: Evolution had a great episode where Mystique leaves Cyclops in the middle of the Mexican desert without his visor.

That was a pretty good episode. I also liked Scott McNeil's Wolverine better than Steve Blum's version.
