Cyclops theoretically was born with ability to control them at will like Havok, but he hurt his head when he was young, damaging the part of his brain that would gave allowed him to control them. That's why he needs the visor and glasses. They may have retconned this stuff but that was my understanding hie his powers worked. Its been retconned His eyes are a portal to another universe where photons can carry gravitational particles that make concussive light. His body makes a field that keeps the energy in check and the glasses resonate at the same frequency as the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dimensional business was how his powers were described to have worked in the first Marvel Universe Handbook in 1983. The Solar thing retconned that in the later edition in the 1985 Marvel handbook. Quote The original 1983 Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe volume stated that Cyclops' eyes contain inter-dimensional apertures, releasing powerful energies from another dimension into his own via the beams. This account states that his body naturally metabolizes ambient energy that is used to open and focus the apertures in his eyes. The energy of the beam itself originates from this other dimension. This explanation, however, was later changed for the 1986 The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition.[144] Cyclops's body is naturally immune to the force of his own beams.[145] His mind projects a psionic field that envelops his body rendering it immune to his optic beam, allowing him to shut it off by simply closing his eyes. Scott is also immune to the power of his brother Alex (Havok) who has the ability to emit waves of energy that heat the air into plasma. Likewise, Havok has demonstrated immunity to Cyclops's optic beam. Scott has been shown as being able to absorb Storm's lightning bolt, although this act caused Cyclops a great deal of pain.[146] The ruby quartz used in his battle visor has been said to resonate with his body's psionic field. Scott has only limited resistance to his brother Vulcan's powers. Marvel should really do another edition of their Handbook. They could even do two volumes, one covering the comics and one covering the Cinematic universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that's any better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Let's be honest that all of these glow ups of Cyclops' power and him porking Emma Frost are all to overcome his most crippling weakness... the fact that he absolutely blows ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto, Professor X, Exodus, Apocalypse and Quinten Quire AKA Kid Omega are all Omega mutants. Cyclops isn't... today until thy change that shit again By the way if you guys haven't been keeping up with the Xmen comics you should. They're the best they've been in YEARS right now.

And he if anyone can pull it off it's him. DC should have BEEN doing this... they had an opportunity to build their whole universe off of the success of the arrowverse and expand from there. Snyder's grimdark vision didn't fit so they ended up with all of these different versions of the same characters across multiple mediums and it got confusing. It's confusing NOW. Shit like this is why they had to do the original Crisis back in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well they’ve gone an canceled Wonder Woman 3. Aquaman will end after the 2nd movie, and rumoured to become their Lobo.

Greatoneshere Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 So Gunn and Safran have begun to make moves, and it seems like the entire Snyderverse may end up getting washed away completely for a proper reboot of all the characters. Hence Momoa maybe becoming Lobo after Aquaman 2. Not sure what this means for Gunn's own Peacemaker show (season 2) when that is definitely tied to the Snyderverse, if just barely, it makes numerous connections to it in the background. Gunn and Safran said that Superman is a priority for them, which means despite Cavill's appearance in Black Adam to become Superman again may not come to fruition now (go back to The Witcher and/or do James Bond). Apparently Jenkins didn't leave Wonder Woman 3, the film is just cancelled. Patty Jenkins has been asked to come back to Rogue Squadron for Star Wars, see news below (Jenkins herself put up a letter explaining things). Patty Jenkins Reveals She Did Not Leave Wonder Woman 3, Has Returned to Rogue Squadron - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Director Patty Jenkins has broken her silence on the cancellation of Wonder Woman 3, saying it was not her decision to leave.

Agreed - they asked her back and fired up pre-production on the film again in earnest for her (sounds like they were slowly but quietly toiling away on it in the background) so I'm sure things are moving forward (why ask her back at all after WW3 falls through) but theatrical Star Wars films seem to be on hold currently after they flooded the market with 5 films in 4 years (2015 to 2019) with diminishing returns in terms of Star Wars brand and reputation.

Abrams, Matt Reeves Not Moving Forward at HBO Max, Will Be Shopped Elsewhere VARIETY.COM HBO Max has canceled 'Batman: Caped Crusader.' ‘Batman: Caped Crusader’ Moves to Amazon With Two-Season Order WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM The series, from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves and Bruce Timm, was previously developed for HBO Max. Quote Batman: Caped Crusader has found a new home at Amazon. The streamer and retail giant has handed out a two-season order for the animated series that was scrapped at HBO Max last August. Caped Crusader landed at the Jennifer Salke-led streamer after producer Warner Bros. Animation shopped the project following the cost-cutting move that saw parent company Warner Bros. Discovery scrap the show more than a year and a half after ordering it straight to series. Other streamers, including Netflix, Apple and Hulu, also kicked the tires on the project that marks a reunion for executive producers J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, who previously collaborated on The WB Network’s beloved Felicity. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
