Cyclops was one of the heroes who went up against the Mad Titan and it ended very badly for him. Thanos put a cube-shaped force field around Cyclops's head, suffocating him. Since then, Cyclops hasn't been able to get his win back against Thanos.
Magneto. An Omega-level mutant who can control the very forces of magnetism, Magneto is far from a character that Marvel heroes can easily wrestle with. Yet, even as a teenager with limited training and limited control of his powers, Cyclops often faced off against Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and won.
9 MCU Characters Who Could Have Beat Thanos (If They Didn't Die...
8 Bor. Bor is not a significant player in the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but did make an important appearance in Thor: The Dark World's prologue. ...
Cyclops fires an optic blast at Thanos, but the attack barely stuns him. In turn, Thanos creates a cube of solid force over Cyclops' head, suffocating him within moments. There was absolutely nothing Cyclops could have done against Thanos and he knew it.
An X-Men Team Once Proved That Cyclops Can Easily Defeat Captain America. A multiversal team of X-Men revealed just how easily Cyclops could use his powers to bring down Captain America in a 1-on-1 fight.
However, by forcing Hulk to push himself to resist his power and even stripping off his skin in their fight, Cyclops revealed that his maximum power is something to behold - and may even be able to fell the Hulk in his classic, less overpowered, 'Savage Hulk' form.
This kind of mastery lends credence to the argument that Superman could modulate his heat vision to phase through his opponent's optic blast if he wanted to. Unsurprisingly, there's really no situation where Cyclops comes out on top, as is the case with most things related to Superman.
There have been other realities in the past where Cyclops' optic blasts have been suggested to be enough to kill mutants as tough as Wolverine. In the Age of X universe, he was even used as the ultimate execution tool by Arcade, eliminating countless mutants with his powers.
Optic blast: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops' powers come from ambient energies, such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays, absorbed and metabolized by his body into concussive blasts that are released from his eyes.
He has feats such as defeating Surtur (who can destroy a planet), conquering the 9 realms, and sealing away Hela. While there isn't much doubt that Thanos could beat Odin if he had all 6 stones, Odin could probably defeat Thanos if he only had one or two of them.
Thanos Beat Hulk Because He Was A More Skilled Fighter
Hulk's defeat could be because Thanos possessed the Power Stone, but with Thanos never pulling it out in the fight, the Russos believe that he didn't need it to win. Despite his great strength, pre-Avengers: Infinity War Hulk did not often fight with a strategy.
As mighty as they are, neither Thanos nor Superman is immortal. Both have been killed in the past, meaning neither is unbeatable. However, Thanos would need an ironclad plan to trap and defeat the Man of Steel, because if it comes down to plain old fisticuffs, Superman is definitely going to win.
Scott's poor control over his power have been attributed to events in his childhood. In The Uncanny X-Men #156, Scott's parachute caught fire and Scott struck his head upon landing. This caused brain damage to Scott which is responsible for his poor control over his optic blasts.
So with the help of the X-men Cyclops probably could defeat Thor, but one-on-one he would likely not fair well against the God of Thunder. Dependant on the circumstance, of course, who hits first, if they can see it coming… Thor is more powerful overall. His body is stronger and his powers more versatile.
Cyclops naturally absorbs energy from around him, including solar radiation, and metabolizes it as internal energy that has to be released through his optic nerves. Scott's full power output can be measured in gigawatts, meaning Cyclops produces more energy with his optic blasts than some nuclear reactors.
Cyclops refuses to stand down and instead acts like he coerces Black Bolt into fatally attacking him, effectively committing suicide just as Crystal's Inhumans and Storm's X-Men finally arrive and bear witness.
Although the primordial Cyclopes of the Theogony were presumably immortal (as were their brothers the Titans), the sixth-century BC Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, has them being killed by Apollo.
Cyclop's toughness is uncanny and his optic blasts are powerful enough that Batman doesn't really have much he can do against them. It would be a tough fight but Cyclops would win.
Magneto was making short work of everyone, even killing Wolverine, when Ultimate Cyclops stepped up and ended the fight, putting Magneto down. He would end Magneto's rampage once and for all, killing him.
Cyclops and Storm are both powerful enough to take the other one down with a single well-placed blast. The thing that matters most is whoever makes the shot first. There's also their personalities to consider.
Cyclops's powers are great but they're also extremely easy for Spider-Man to overcome. His spider-sense and agility easily keep him ahead of Cyclops. Cyclops is good but he's not good enough to overcome Spider-Man.
Nowhere in the movies is Superman able to tank a bladed weapon from a superhumanly strong opponent. Assuming we're talking DCEU and MCU versions, then Hela wins this. Yes, she's not as fast as Superman and he'll give her quite a thrashing, but nothing Superman does will keep Hela down for long.
