Uncanny 211 mycomics11/13/2022 If we go to my top 20, only 2 are actual Marvel books. I also listed 7 runs published by DC, 1 by a subsidiary of DC, 1 by an independent publisher, and 1 by Marvel (the UK variety). I'll get into this more when I go over the actual list, but I definitely think modern comics are better. Therefore, while I respect the work of Lee and Kirby and Ditko, I don't look upon their seminal work from the early 1960s as all that good. well, MarkAndrew has accused me of having "reverse nostalgia," as good a term as I can think of, because I simply don't really like comics from before 1970 or so. When i find the Nick Fury one i'll post it.As for my choices. And this Scott Summers, the guy in change of the X-men? I'd follow him into Hell if he said he needed me." Yeah, I've been known to give him a hard time- maybe more than once-but even an old warhorse like me knows a leader when I see one. In his world where everything is tinted red, he still manages to see things in black and white. Like his namesake, Cyclops he sees the world in a singular vision Heroes win Villians lose. The guy's a leader- a natural born a leader as there ever was. But no, his real power has got nothin' to do with his mutant abilities. That's impressive and all, sure- the guy can damn near punch a hole in a mountain just by starin' at it. Not just 'cause of the optic blast he developed in his teens. but he may be one of the most powerful mutants on the face of the planet. My 'kid' I'm talking about the mutant with the ruby quartz visor.You wouldn't know it to look at Summers. While not all these are combat based events, these pictures do show an amazing versatility and mastery of his powers. #UNCANNY 211 MYCOMICS FULL#In X-Men #112, he takes on a room full of armed soldiers and defeats them all in seconds. #UNCANNY 211 MYCOMICS CRACKED#he defeats them all over the course of several pages, and with cracked ribs to boot. In Uncanny #175, defeats 6 x-men who believe he is phoenix. In Uncanny X-Men #127, he baits Wolverine into attacking him because of his fear of Wolverine's ability against Proteus, and Cyclops holds his own, even dodging Logan's Claws. People may argue that these instances could be attributed to the artists' habits, but i believe there are far too many instances to discount the possibility that his visor may open without the side button being pressed, that the button itself is merely used to change the intensity of the blast. In New X-Men #114, he casually stands firing at a sentinel with his hands at his sides. In Uncanny X-Men #96, he does the same again. Uncanny X-Men #95, Cyclops opens his visor by simply opening his eyes fully. Uncanny X-Men #93, he fires his blasts simply by opening his eyes after keeping them closed for a prolonged amount of time. X-Men #137, he fires, breaking Redneck's nose but not causing any other damage, then he fires a second blast that breaks Radian's leg.Įven though the most common way Cyclops activates his visor is by pressing a button beside his ear, he has on occasion used other means. In X-Men #112, he fires, deflecting his blast round a corner to take out two waiting enemies.Īgain in X-Men #112, he fires past Magneto, hitting Magneto's helmet, which rebounds and strikes Magneto. In Uncanny #170, he flips a coin, and blasts the centre out of it, leaving only the outer edge intact. In Uncanny #152, he deflects his blast off three surfaces to hit Sebastian Shaw, and push him towards the waiting Colossus. Uncanny #144, using only one optic blast he sinks every ball on a pool table. In Uncanny X-Men #124, while trapped in murderworld, Cyclops clears out a room of machines with just one blast. In Uncanny X-Men #93 Cyclops fights Quicksilver, and Quicksilver himself remarks that only his speed saved him from being hit by Cyclops. The blasts do NOT give off heat or radiation, they are pure concussive force, nothing else. The energy escapes through his eyes, creating an optic blast. The portal opens to a universe that consists of nothing but the ruby coloured energy he fires. yes he absorbs solar energy, but what happens is the solar energy opens a dimensional portal in his eyes.
