Weaker: Cyclops Still, it's unlikely that he could defeat Wolverine in battle. Cyclops could almost definitely shred most of Wolverine's body away if he were to use the full power of his optic blast on him, but it's highly unlikely that Wolverine wouldn't regenerate.
Ultimately, Cyclops optic blasts are enough to strip Wolverine of his skin and flesh, all the way to his adamantium bones, giving Apocalypse what he needs to power his portal machine.
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.
In X-Men: Schism #1 by Jason Aaron and Carlos Pacheco, Cyclops thanks Wolverine for always standing by his side, with Logan simply replying, “When there's somebody around worth following, I follow.” Fans of this miniseries remember that it ultimately ends with these two legends parting ways after an X-Men civil war, ...
Scott Summers aka Cyclops and Logan aka Wolverine had a sort of love hate relationship, extreme respect for each other as mutant combatants but they had extreme differences when it came to the respective love for Jean Grey.
I'm going to max power!" before using a concussive blast so powerful it begins to strip the skin from Hulk's body. It isn't quite enough to stop him, but that impact puts Cyclops in a small group of people able to damage Hulk in his strongest form.
It's tragic that a man who has spent his life helping other mutants to control their powers and love their true nature still struggles with his own potential. Cyclops is a powerful mutant who uses his powers with immense tactical insight, constantly wowing fans with feats they never expected.
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.
They can destroy a Sentinel. They have the power of a nuclear explosion. However, even more impressive is the fact that they can penetrate Adamantium. This fact was shown in the storyline Age of Apocalypse.
Alpha mutants have extremely powerful mutant traits without any significant flaws. Less than 10% of mutants are Alpha mutants so they are very rare. Some of the Alpha mutants include Cyclops, Gambit, Professor X, Havok, Colossus, and Emma Frost.
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.
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.
Given enough lead in time Cyclops might have a good plan to defeat Thor, but eventually he'll be destroyed. Thor has abilities beyond human reckoning, and if he has to bring magic in to defeat Cyclops he can even do that.
Try as he might, Cyclops just couldn't put Thanos down. He'd be able to keep Thanos at bay for a while but eventually, Thanos would be able to either get in close or hit Cyclops with one of his blasts but either way, Cyclops is dead.
Wolverine, given enough time, could defeat Colossus in a fight using only his claws, but he would have a terrifically difficult time doing so; the latter's skin is made of adamantium, same as Logan's claws, and even a demon-controlled Wolverine can do very little against him.
In typical comic fashion, his powers get little explanation beyond that. Still, several other signs point to Cyclops absorbing energy to power his optic blasts, rather than opening another dimension. Relatedly, Cyclops seems to have a finite energy supply and he (very) occasionally needs to recharge.
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. Several origin stories do not feature the head injury account with X-Men Origins: Cyclops #1 being the most recent.
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.
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.
Even by limiting the range and force of his concussive blasts, Cyclops is still one of the most powerful mutants on the roster, so it is not a question of capability. Instead, by not allowing his abilities to completely be what they are, he continues to prevent his own understanding of them.
Superman heat vision is completely superior to the concussive beams of Cyclops, in every way. For starters Superman Heat Vision is not just limited to one form of energy like Cyclops is. Although Superman calls it Heat Vision, it's actually spectrum vision, because it can be fired on any wavelength.
Jean controls her powers more than most, but many remember her lack of control during Dark Phoenix...and so does Cyclops. Cyclops is a comparatively weak mutant compared to Jean (in terms of power) and his wife could easily kill him and many others if she truly wanted to.
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.
After battling Ahab and his Sentinels, the Cyclops and Marvel Girl of Earth-616 (and possibly the X-Factorians Iceman, Beast, and Archangel; the X-Men Forge and Banshee; and the New Mutants Cable, Sunspot, Warlock, Boom-Boom, and Cannonball) were stated to be "First Level Mutants" by the Franklin Richards.
