The marvel universe says that he can knock over a filled 5000 gallon gallon tank truck at a distance of 20 feet.

That's around 80,000 pounds meaning he is hitting with sufficient force to knock over a 40 ton vehicle from 20 feet away. Just another reason why Cyclops is soooooo underrated.

"Didnt he blow away a whole mountain range in Secrwt Wars, or was it some other story?"

I seem to remember that too. I don't remember which comic it was? Secret Wars (original) maybe?

I am not a cylcops fan at all, but I hate the fact that people think he is a chump. He hits a helluva lot harder than people give him credit for. ANYthing that is in his field of vision he can hit with "knock over 40 tons" power. He is, in my opinion, possibly the most underrated character in terms of power.

I just checked my Secret Wars TPB. He didn't do that. The most he did was fire an optic blast into a volcano and cause a chain reaction to delay Galactus' devouring of the planet. He also fired the blast in a wide field. He fired it once before through a tall stone structure.

I agree with you. I always thought it odd that so many people disliked his character to such a degree. I guess it was the fact that everyone was always backing Wolverine in the little love triangle they had going."

cyclops is alright with me i just didn't like him and emma dating "

I just don't like Cyclops. Something about his character.

Cosmic Sentinel says:

"I like Cyclops, he was probably the first character in the X-Men I liked. Only problem is, since I read the *Physics of Superheroes*, I know that every optic blast should take his head off. *For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.*"

Neuton's law...

Scott's head isn't ripped off for one reason, lol

1. Scott is immune to his own power so his body absorbs the energy.

   Scott's eyes "acts as an inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another." -Marvel.com-

In my mind that means the force is being released from his eyes and moves forward. "...it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body." -Marvel.com-

Back on topic.

Slim's Optic Blast has never been measured just witnessed. Its been says he holds back regardless of who he is fighting because he is afraid of what may happen if he lets loose. In my personal opinion I believe it relies on how much energy his body has stored.

"How powerful is his optic blast"

not powerful enough to kill Sinister :p

I think that's all that matters

Yes it is...

Akira Overdrive says:

"Yes it is..."

Cyclops has tried before and Sinister just completely reformed himself proving that the optic blast was pointless against him

"Akira Overdrive says:

He holds back..

Well that depends on what you mean by Kill. It certainly has enough power do dismantle Sinister's body, which would certainly kill most anyone else. But Sinister has the ability to reform his body.

EpicNinja says:

exactly, I never said it couldn't kill, I said it couldn't kill Sinister (and yet just a touch of Rogue's skin killed him)

Yes it does..

if he thought he would be able to do it with more power, don't you think he would have? It doesn't make a difference whether he holds back or not

Akira Overdrive says:

"Yes it does.."

you are pathetic

Hold up..

Who the Fu*k do you think you are calling me pathetic?Homie you must have sh!t twisted,your the only pathetic one here.

Nobody says:

"I think he once said it could cut through a small planet in once comic."

Yeah...but he's too much of a wuss to do that lol

The hardest i've seen from cyclops is destroying apocalypse with a sinlge blast knocking him out and the other is when he busted a whole threw onslaughts armor. He also said to cain marko the juggernaut that he could hit him with the force of a small planet. Cyclops may never be able to use it to his full ability due to the strain it would cause to his body but he can still pack a punch.

Rogue had the Strain 88 virus.

my point was that you weren't backing anything up you were just trying to be a d!ck

Anyhow....Cyclops Optic Blast is very powerful lol That doesn't mean though it can destroy everything.

exactly it can't do a thing to Sinister, Alex or Gabriel and I'm sure there's many others I'm not remembering

so even if his blast is very powerful, the point is every mutant in the Marvel Universe is just as powerful (I do know that not everyone is, I'm just pointing out that many of them are)

Not really lol cause we all know mutants usually come in lvls cyclops may not be at the highest lvl but theirs no doubt hes strong but you can't say cyclops and hyperstorm are at the same lvl right?? Hyperstorm could feed galactus lol.

well ok then maybe I should say that despite the fact that Cyclops is strong, he's one of the lower-level mutants

Well there is no official ranking system to say what the Potential of a Mutant is. They use the level "label" very loosely and have only described a select few characters with it. Vulcan, Chamber, Storm, and Jean Grey have all been referred to as Omega-Level or Possible Omega-Level Mutants... But no one has defined what that is. Most of Scott's edge in battle is not his Optic Blast, or his mutant level. It is ability to think on his feet and act just as fast. He is an amazing Tactician, and can accomplish most things by thinking it through. If you've ever read Uncanny X-Men #175 he takes on half the X-men (Including Storm, Wolverine and Colossus) alone with broken ribs. That made Cyke my hero XD lol

We do not know the true full extent of Cyclops power. He even stated that he was not sure his power only comes out of his eyes.

or how is it when he's just wearing his sun glasses that his blast aren't spilling out around the glasses...his power is always on...if he has his eyes closed then his power is blasting away at the inside of his eyelids"
