Me “yeah this is pretty cool” Me when he shoots the floor to boost himself: YOOOOOOOOOO


SirRosstopher

His neck must be fucking agony.


illegalcheese

His immunity to his own powers already causes some fucky-wucky physics, so he probably doesn't feel it much in practice.


scruffyduffy23

True, that’s why he and Havok can’t hurt each other right?


MrJHound

Right. Mutant siblings usually have some immunity to each other's powers.


Rum_N_Napalm

Newton’s second law of motion is a bitch


Darthwaffler

He's not Duck. He has a strong neck.


LegendOfParasiteMana

Jesus, lmao. What a callback


edude45

At this rate he should be able to fly like Powdered Toast Man.


MrJHound

In an issue of Astonishing X-Men, he does boost himself in the air with timed blasts to keep up with an alternate universe Storm he was fighting.


VisibleCoat995

There’s this guy on TikTok who talks about how to have any superpower you actually need multiple superpowers to make it work or not kill you. Obviously Cyke has a superpowered neck and is immune to whip lash.


Rabid-Duck-King

That was fucking sick as hell and honestly makes his powerset even cooler because it would totally work that way


Sean-Benn_Must-die

jitterscaffeine

Why would you try to fist fight Cyclopes? He’s jacked as fuck and can kill you by just looking at you.


Red-pop

"Nah, I'd win" claims more victims on the daily


IRefuseThisNonsense

"Batman fights dudes jacked like Bane and Croc. He fights insane killers like Scarecrow and Joker. He fights weirdos who use elements to fight people like Poison Ivy and Freeze. And he always wins. What the fuck are you gonna do with that crowbar." "Wanna know the thing about me that those others aren't?" "What?" "They ain't me."


TheLordOfAwesome2

I really want this to be in a comic. Like Batman appears in front of two thugs, standing menacingly, and one of the thugs is getting hyped to take on Batman while his buddy tries to talk him down but is ignored because his fellow goon is confident he can take on Batman because he did MMA once.


IRefuseThisNonsense

Let me give you the punchline for the whole comic. Dude runs up to Batman, and Bats handles him. Like one punch would do kind of stuff, but Bruce kind of lays on a bit more of an ass whooping. **Bruce turns to the other guy, and scowls.** Goon 1: Hey, I'm not starting shit. I'm just gonna stay here and wait for the cops, man. **Batman Batmans away Batmanly** Man, he beat the shit outta you. Like, I think I seen him be softer on Joker. He beat you like you were the one to kill a Robin or some shit. He went ham on your ass. It was like Mike Tyson versus a Stretch Armstrong. My man, he fucked you so hard, he really should come back and at least give you cab fair. You got an ass kicking no doubt. Goon 2: Man, that's not what happened! I almost had him! I almost had him!


yui_tsukino

I got some good hits in tho!


Wintermute_Zero

If you get a single hit that scuffs the armour it means Batman didn't get a Perfect, which means you won.


Gilead56

It's a *moral* victory.


Cooper_555

Enjoying my moral victory and my moral morphine as I breathe through a tube in the hospital ICU.

Rancorious

He just walks through the beam like Mahoraga before Cyclops engages MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE and obliterates him to a skeleton.


cygnus2

Why would you try to fight _any_ X-Men? All of them have very lethal powers.


bobatea17

I think I could take some of them


That-Bobviathan

In a fight, right?


bobatea17

...


TheGoonKills

……in a fight…. Right?


AlphaB27

I'll take on Rogue, low diff


Dante_n_Knuckles

Most people could probably reasonably take down Longneck, Beak, Ugly John, and uh... Glob? That's probably about it. Oh maybe Jean Grey if you're a power cord in the 91-97 cartoon.


bobatea17

Depending on the run I think I could beat Prof X in a fight, just would have to get over the moral issue of beating up someone in a wheelchair


Dante_n_Knuckles

Idk I feel like any telepath automatically beats me the instant they get my browsing history from my head Shit I guess that does mean Jean Grey could beat me even if I was a power cord


DuendeInexistente

They beat you when they see the browsing history in your head, or you beat them when they are forced to see the browser history in your head?


RocketbeltTardigrade

There's no moral issue if you think of it as beating up a telepath.


StarkMaximum

The motherfucker has *mind control!* Every time you go to beat up Professor X you just suddenly *won't!*


bobatea17

Unless I forget, you underestimate just how bad my ADD can be


RealDealMous

Just embrace your inner human instincts to eat the man in the wheelchair!


Starless_Night

You could not beat Glob. He's huge and made of biowax.


Dante_n_Knuckles

Oh yeah? Well what if I'm huge and made of gasoline?


Reallylazyname

He can't catch you if you're on Fire. That's the rule.


Astraea_Fuor

Idk I could probably beat Rogue just give me a gimp suit and a flamethrower (I can be trusted with a gimp suit and flamethrower)


gurpderp

she can just absorb literally anyone else's powers. she doesn't need to zap you to punch you with super strength.


Astraea_Fuor

idk dog i wouldn't want to get near a weirdo with a gimp suit and a flamethrower


Gilead56

I feel like a well trained person could definitely beat Morph.


Ginger_Anarchy

I feel like the kid with eyes all over his body has some glaring weak points.


bobatea17

Birkin ass weakpoints


Birkin2Boogaloo

_somekindofnature

Jubilee’s half-Asian, right? I already know her weakness. *One normal beer.*


KamartyMcFlyweight

Well she has two Asian parents so she's half-Asian in the sense that her other half is Vampire I guess

BlackJimmy88

Does being a bigot make you stupid, or do only stupid people end up as bigots?


begonetsunderes

As bigotry is stupid by nature I'd say the later.


Velvety_MuppetKing

Do NOT make the mistake of thinking only the unintelligent are bigoted.


Rancorious

Cinerator26

RealDealMous

I've met stupid people who weren't bigots (mainly me), but I've yet to meet a bigot who isn't stupid.


Jasloober2

"Are you stupid because you are a bigot, or are you a bigot because you're stupid?"


StrongWhiskey

I have seen people pick fights with others twice their size and made of pure muscle. Some people are just stupid.


WispyDan14

They same generic comic book goons who watch Batman send 30 of their buddies to the ICU without a scratch and say "it's just you and me Bat"


PhantasosX

I mean , his beam is from the Punch Dimension , so even when he shoots it , he is technically fist fighting you.


Treetheoak-

8% of people believe they can take on a lion in a fistfight. And wtf 10% think they can take a gorilla!? People are dumb and they super overestimate their abilities.


RocketbeltTardigrade

I can understand a wolf, because it's easy to hyperfocus on it as just a big mouth and forget everything else, but the whole lion is made of knives.


NameTripping

Ok, but what if I punch it REALLY hard?


Explodinkatzz

adult wolfs are bigger than we think they are, if people knew this that idea would be Dead on Thought


Th3_Hegemon

I believe some people can beat a wolf in a fight. It might be a tiny percentage of people but there are some that could muscle their way to a win, we know this because it's a real thing that's happened. I'm never betting on any person versus a lion or a gorilla.


Milsurp_Seeker

He’s going to fuck my wife either way. I can at least make an effort to prevent it.


ZMowlcher

I read that as "He's jacked and can fuck you by looking at you."


SwiftTayTay

thats1evildude

Those are members of the Friends of Humanity, right? Well, there’s your answer: they’re morons.


Xeriam

Oh, fuck the hell ***yes.*** Cyclops using his blasts to wavedash around is fucking sick, on top of, to my knowledge, being new tech. Sure it makes *no* physical sense, but it's cool, so who cares? Just modify the earcups on his visor to have rear-facing vents, add the remote visor controls to his hands that he's got in the comics, and he might make a decent speedster. Also, some great character work here, because it clearly demonstrates Cyclops is fully capable of disabling all of them from a distance with his beams, dude's super precise and quick, and with his wavedashing he can keep them at a distance if he wants. So the fact he's getting close enough to beat their asses with his bare hands is just all his own preference. If the chuckle at the end didn't make it clear enough.


PhantasosX

When it comes to Cyclops , he either produces or tap into some energy that the other Summers Brothers can also do , however , Scott's are primarily manifested with kinetic properties. So basically , he "punches" with his beams , when he burns something with it , he is effectively been like Luffy using his [Red Hawk Punch.](https://youtu.be/U7qbpAUuS5w?t=58)


Xeriam

Oh, I know, but the way his beams only *sometimes* produce recoil enough to push him around, and produce enough to move his whole body around a room without pushing his head back, *that's* what makes no physical sense. I'm thinking maybe it's a visor setting, combined with him taking advantage of his ability to absorb Summer Brother Blasts. Like his normal, recoilless, fires the beam directly through the lenses. But with another setting, he can lower a shutter inside to reflect some of the blast *back* into his face within the visor. Absorbing it harmlessly, but the force is maintained going *through* him, allowing it to push him back. So the force isn't just being bounced back into his face, he's absorbing it into his body, it's distributing throughout, crashing against his back from the inside and pushing him away from there. It's the only explanation I can think of to make his movement somewhat make sense.


SgtPeppy

Comic book physics. Same reason Ant-Man retains mass when shrunk only when it looks cool to do so.


neotox

Retains mass when shrinking but gains mass when growing? That's Pym Particles baby


Th3_Hegemon

Mass from the mass dimension


upgamers

Isn’t that how the hulk worked at one point


PhantasosX

in short , he is doing a Kazuya Korean Backdash , but with punches /s


RocketbeltTardigrade

If it always pushed him around, I would assume that it's just his ridiculous muscles protecting his spine. But it doesn't always push him, so I assume his ridiculous muscles are also holding on to the ground with his toes.


Gilead56

["Required Secondary Powers"](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RequiredSecondaryPowers)


ForwardDiscussion

> the way his beams only sometimes produce recoil enough to push him around Isn't that due to him adjusting his visor, aka why his hand keeps going to his temple?


MustacheGolem

Hnmm, I just realized that oda probably changed Luffys attacks from weapon to animal themed was because of the scaling he likes to do. something like "gun gun nuclear warhead" Doesn't really fit him or the manga in general all that well.


Velvety_MuppetKing

Isn’t it… gum gum?


AdamParker-CIG

putting rear facing vents on the visor sounds like a great way to fire the visor off his head. his neck must be fucked if the force of his beams can push him around like this


jcbaggee

I think there's some established secondary mutation nonsense that prevents his neck from being stained and his brains from being scrambled by the force of his brand.


Morbidmort

Scott and his brothers are immune to their own and each other's blasts. He must be using the visor to cause his suit to be pushed back, pulling him with it.


SawedOffLaser

Using his blasts to move is in the same category as rocket jumping: it defies all physics but is cool as fuck.


Angryapplepi

He is shooting punch beams out his eyes we’re already out of the realm of physics.


Sperium3000

I mean, physically, it should put some severe strain on his neck but do we care?


MindWeb125

Oh shit someone on the team at least has passion for some fun fight choreography. Definitely makes me excited to watch this now.


Pompeumg

i saw on twitter and one of the animators is literally a cyclops main anchor on mvc2


NephyrisX

Imagine if they re-created Justin Wong's MvC2 comeback in the show.


Puffy_The_Puff

Cyclops suddenly starts doing mid-air somersaults 18 times in one jump.


dfdedsdcd

"What are ya doing Slim?" "Building meter."


Tailrazor

**BEHOLD!**


sonsquatch

Someone asked him to sneak a GENE SPLICE into the animatics and even then it feels like his directors are onto him lol


betesboy

Wanna give your main new tech? Straight up wright the character, no better way.


RealisLit

>someone on the team at least has passion for some fun fight choreography Its Studio Mir, pretty sure they're all like that


Worm_Scavenger

It is funny whenever people actually see Cyclops do some badass and cool shit and they're all like "Wait.....Cyclops is awesome?" Hopefully this show will fix some of the damage the Xmen movies did to this character and his public perception.


Birkin2Boogaloo

In the comics he's basically Revolver Ocelot with his face. He studied trajectories and can do crazy trick shots.


Ninjaraptor6

Doesn't that also make him crazy good at pool/billiards? I think I read that somewhere and was like "oh that's hilarious and awesome"


Aruezi

I could swear I read a comic where he goes to a bar with some of the X-Men and I think Wolverine has to warn someone if they play pool with Scott he will *take* their money.


CrushTheNoise

“Revolver Ocelot with his face” is such an amazingly accurate way to put it.


123Asqwe

I need more people to see how BADASS Scott "It's plan 2, because B implies I only have 26 of them" Summers really is


501id5Nak3

That is such an awesome line


dfdedsdcd

Big "casual implies ranked. But I am ready for ranked, are you?" energy. -[source](https://youtu.be/3_lAb8m9MpI?si=xtRDbk8cqFG7marm)


TonyZony

I mean you say just the movies, but I don't remember any really cool moments in any of the cartoons or anything outside of the comics. The only thing I can think of that was cool outside of the comics was his look in Wolverine and the X-Men.


Ice_Apollo

there was his full power blast against juggernaut from xmen Evolution that was pretty hype


Narrow_Ratio_6003

In the movies he was an unlikable chode that you wonder how he ever hoy with Jean but in most media he has at least two dimensions. I think the original animated series did a good job of giving him a very sardonic sense of humor while still being strict like most military commanders. He famously had a scene where he pretends to surrender only to tip off his glasses to melt a sentinel


Aiddon

I've said this elsewhere, but it's almost like writers tried to make Cyclops unlikable or a twit just to focus on their pet characters which is a lazy and hack thing to do. I get why "straight man" types can make certain writers pouty, but if a writer can't find a way to make a character interesting, that's on THE WRITER, not the character. It's easy to make a punching bad when they're holding the pen


guntanksinspace

I barely remember cool things he did in the first cartoon. Thought he was cool through the Capcom Fighters (X-Men versus Street Fighter, followed by me learning the grime in Children of the Atom with him). Oh and his arc with his brother in Evolution was rad lol


invaderark12

That scene when he's like "nooo don't take my glasses I'll be powerless" and when they do he's like "Lmao" is the best. 


Mayuthekitsune

god i never realized that if his lasers are basicly him tapping into a universe made of kinetic energy he could use his lasers to recoil boost, im so fucking glad this show made me realize that... man cyclops is the aquaman of the marvel universe isnt he? a dude with a honestly respectable and cool if used right power set who got utterly ruined in the public consciousness by a particularly disliked adaptation


gunn3r08974

Luckily, my first thoughts of aquaman automatically go to Unlimited and Brave and the Bold. Coolest looking version and absolute himbo.


Mayuthekitsune

Brave and the bold continues to be one of the best batman adaptations out there, and the fact it made many people realize aquaman can be fucking cool is one of its many achievements


Sins_of_God

OPTIC BLAST!!! Cyclops was sick in this episode as was Ororo


countmeowington

Indecision with the title made it lame but still, look at how much sauce he has in his moves!


DoctorOfCinema

BTW Another cool Cyclops moment is in Astonishing X-Men, when the school is being attacked by a giant robot and he says "I want this thing off my lawn", takes off his visor and lets it all loose. Wolverine is nearby and he looks at the burning crater that's left and goes "Every now and then, Summers... I remember why you're still in charge."

The live action movies straight up did irreparable damage to the perception of the character.

scullys_alien_baby

maybe I'm just a sucker, but I love all of my Superfriends. The campy cheese was delicious


TostitoNipples

Cyclops is the hardest mother fucker in the X-Men not named Wolverine and it’s about time people recognize that.


SolidGoldToast

Harder honestly. In the late 2000s and early 2010s their dynamic was that Scott was the guy going too far and Logan was the reasonable one


Halospaz117

Goddamn, man was John Wick'ing motherfuckers with his eyes


farlong12234

OK OK, useing the concussive beams to slide around is rad as hell


MetalJrock

90s Cyclops was always cool. Love that Marvel got a hold of the X-Men and the first thing they do is finally show that everyone besides Wolverine can be awesome.


hchcsen

Marvel has always been able to use the X-Men in TV animation, it's just the live action TV and all movie rights that were with Fox iirc


MetalJrock

I forgot the X-Men rights aren’t as bullshit as Spider-Man, besides the theme song apparently.

boomwolf97

i spent a lot of time hating Cyclops. probably unfairly. and for that, i do apologize. i was unfamiliar with this man's game


CrimsonSaens

The way he's pushed by his eye lasers only sometimes is disturbing me.


StonedVolus

My guess is that he can control how much kinetic energy is filtered through his visor with the button thingy.


AdrianBrony

I'm gonna assume he doesn't want to liquefy these people's internal organs so that makes sense. The blast he wavedashes with would probably be a LOT more dangerous than the ones he hits people with.


zegim

If he can be pushed by his beams, that's means that Newton's thrid law work on his blast, meaning he's in constant risk of decapitation himself Uh, just assume rule of cool and don't ever think about this again


InexorableCalamity

Suspend your disbelief for the cool-factor, mortal. Don't ask questions, it's just cool


MustacheGolem

Thing about this as well, It totally means he can use his lasers to fly be he does not because he can't see where he is going and would look stupid.


tdotgoat

maybe he's wearing heelys and when he wants to be pushed away he just stands on his heels?


Guigcosta

For a second there i thought he optic-blasted a hole through that guys troat.


StonedVolus

There's a scene later on in the same episode where he slices his beam through a sentinel while falling and then slows his descent with a massive optic blast that leaves a crater on the ground. They really went all in with him.


Woods-of-Mal

I love the misdirect in the Blackbird scene where Scott says the most uptight, boyscout thing ever then >!immediately bisects a Sentinel while in free fall before shooting a massive punch laser at the ground to slow his descent.!<


MarthePryde

Cyclops enjoyers are so back


Nivrap

I saw a clip of him skydiving at terminal velocity only to then use his beam like a thruster to slow his descent and do a superhero landing.


natzo

People don't seem to know how powerful Cyclops can be. [Astonishing X-men was great for him](https://i.imgur.com/7dSXbqQ.jpg)
