10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Cyclops
6. He's Not That Powerful
When two of the most important people in your life are also two of the most powerful mutants in existence, it's kind of understandable that your own strengths might get overlooked.
Yet, just because both Jean Grey and Emma Frost could crush your head like a grape with a single thought, it shouldn't take away from Cyclops' own ability to cause massive damage - just ask Wolverine!
During the Age Of Apocalypse storyline, we meet a different Scott Summers than we're used to. Having been taken in and raised by Mr. Sinister, this version of him is missing an eye, due to an awesome fight with Wolverine where he's blinded and in retaliation destroys Wolverine's hand, adamantium and all, with a perfectly placed optic blast.
That's right, the weakest link completely obliterates adamantium as if it were toilet paper.
If you throw into the mix the fact that he's been a host for the Phoenix Force in the past, then to suggest that he isn't as powerful as his contemporaries starts to look a little silly, to say the least.
