Which are better?

Ok, if you were, somehow, given the option to have eyebeams or handbeams which would you pick? (both will be at the same power level)

Let's say it's heat beams (for example)

Eye-beams mean that while in a grapple with somone of equal or greater strength you have another avenue of attack - burn their face.

Hand-beams mean that you can fire in two directions at once and in a grapple you could burn their hands.

Glowing eyes look cool ... but so do glowing fists.

Eyebeams.

Harder for people to prevent you from using them, better accuracy, potentially easier to hide when you use them.

Interesting.

Hand beams for me

So basically like Havok or Cyclops?

Well in that case I would pick Havok because he can generate it from anywhere, but....lets pretend it was only hands and eyes.

Say like Superman's heat vision compared to Majestic's hand blasts?

I really dont know. Each have their own pros and cons

It depends on who's Eye beams and who's hand beams. Darksied's Eye beams are UBER over most anyone's hand beams. Except then you have someone like Infinity Man who's hand beams pwn anything they touch quite easily.

Hand beams generally create explosions when they hit the ground, making them harder to dodge.

It's the exact same power, the choice is only between where you want them to emit from.

We'll call it Superman heat beam level to make it easier.

HandBeams tend to get dodged more. EyeBeams are more I look at you and you die.

Eye Beams give you the Option of using ur fist more as well if you have super strength to go along with it.

I dunno. To me it comes down to the accuracy of eye beams against the wide range damage of hand beams.

I would probably go with eye beams just because you can be more stealthy about it plus you can do that badass shit that Superman does when he makes his eyes glow and gets in somebody's face.

Wristblades.










Oh wait, that's not an option. Dammit!

well i'd be the only person on earth with this chose let alone power. Give me the hands

Hands beams for me...you can point them in any direction look else where ...eyebeams had to go where you look...

Eyebeams , it's much easier to look at someone then it is to hit them with your hands (if you get what I mean)

How are HandBeams winning in the polls?

How about using every hair strain to release they beam. Like right before the beam is released you hair rises and points and then the energy collectively releases for your hair strains

Everyone who wants eye beams chooses them because they're too lazy to aim their hands so it makes sense they're too lazy to vote in a poll.

I think you would need flight, superspeed, superstrength, martial arts training and 20lbs of hair gel to do that.

I'd go handbeams.

eyebeams. Glowing eyes are pwnage. Though fists AND eyes are better.

Eyebeams for me.

It'll always be cooler to merely look at a planet in the cosmos, and reduce it to ash, than it'll be to point with a hand gesture.

That'll be so corny in real life.

Hand Beams, I would be afraid of accidently triggering my eye beams say when I was looking deep into a womans eyes and burning her face off.

Or looking at a microwave meal in the supermarket and cooking it right there and then.

Plus with hand beams I can charge em up and punch someone with it and I can do Ryu impressions in my backyard!

Ok I've really put to much thought into this!

I think Hand beams would be a little more useful as you could hit things behind/around you and you could subtly blow stuff/people up without having to turn your head.

rather have hand beams than eye beams.

You can't just glance? I mean, if you're gonna aim with your hands, you're gonna have to look in the general direction anyways.

I'd say, assuming the power is the same, that eye beams would be better. Mostly due to accuracy, and stealth.

Eye beams.I'll do that Darkseid pose with my hands behind my back,then eye beam your ass.

If I had super speed or like, weapons, eye beams would be it, but since my hands aren't that cool being free and all hand beams for the win.

Years of videogames are going to give me great accuracy with my hands anyways. Also, Merasoma and a blast from each finger is just plain cool.

Eyebeams there is none saying that the eyebeams cannot act like Darkseids omega Beam twisting and turning, so you would still be capable of shoting someone behind you.

also if you have eyebeams and want to carry around extra weapons you can

but you cannot wair sunglases thumbup1

Havok's bangin' Polaris again.

magnetos daugther, what a father is law

Im going with the hands. I can shoot in 2 different dsirections that way. With the eyes, they are pretty much gonna be the same direction parallel to each other. That kinda sucks.

The Vision is probably the weirdest in-law Magneto will ever have. What can you say when your daughter dates a robot?

"I must have been a bad father my daughter is dating a Robot that can defeat the entire avengers"

All else being equal: eyebeams. Advantages...

1. Faster and easier to look at something than point your hand.
2. More accurate. If you're looking at it, you're on target (and while you might be able to shoot in two different directions with your hands, you can still only look in one direction at a time to aim).
3. Less conspicuous, harder to anticipate.
4. Glowing eyes (should one choose this option) do look cooler than glowing fists because "the eyes are the window to the soul," thus suggesting powerful energies emanating from the very core of one's being.

This raises a really interesting point

do the beams fire straight out from the eye sockets (ala superman and cyclops) or from the pupil of the eye itself?

Most often, humans do not turn their head the whole way to look at things, they just move their eyes. So, if the beams do fire straight out of the face, you would still have to take time to properly target something with your head as opposed to just looking at it out of the corner of your eye. It would still be quicker than your hand, but the range of things you can directly face is much smaller than the range of things you can see.

lol, and if the beams are generated by the pupils, then it would be almost impossible to hit something. Saccidic movement refers to very small and quick movements your eyes make every second, averaging like 6-7 a second. They are unconscious and uncontrollable Eyebeams like this would be more like shotguns than precision instruments.

but wow am i a nerd

anyways, hand beams for multi directional blasts

Versatility could possibly go to HB's though , you could melt objects at a touch , reinforce your punches and possibly do the whole 'Punch the ground energy shockwave' shtick.

Wow talk about over analyzing

Based on how EyeBeams work in comics none of that should be a problem.

LOL

ya, i do try really hard sometimes

The first part should actually be a problem (ie, you would loose some ability to target things with eye beams due to head movement being more restricted then hand movement) but ya, the seccade stuff is just me blowing smoke out of the bum

Honestly, it seems like a really even balance between speed and versatility on the eye vs hand thing

Well its hard to target at anything you can't see (unless you have some additional supersensory power or decades of MA experience). Also you could just turn your whole body to face an opponent.

I think that EyeBeams have the additional advantage of also making it so that if someone ties of you hands you can still blast them.

...But then you can't blast off your bonds. Wheras if you had handblasts you'd be incapable of having your wrists tied.

Eyebeam energy discharge temporarily stifles the saccades, thanks to evolution. Those superorganisms in which eyebeam firing did not stifle the saccades (making target-strike less likely) were less likely to survive and have offspring.

hehe

its not that you can't see them, its that there is a big difference between "looking" at something and "aiming" your head at something. Honestly, the majority of the time when you are looking at something, your head is not directly facing it.

Very true on the last part, though hand beams could theoretically get out of being bound unless it is a special alloy metal or whatever, but then the same could be said for blindfolds of the like

I can see advantage to both of them, I just prefer the advantages of handbeams. The speed and accuracy advantages, once accustomed to the power, are going to be almost negligible and the multi directional shooting is something I'd really like.

I pick to have eyes on my hands, and shoot beams from there

Hand beams can be dangerous while masturbating.

Perhaps, but if you wore glasses or contacts then eyebeams would just be a pain in the ass.

Also, extremities, such as hands, are the first thing to get frosbite in really cold weather - generating your own heat solves that problem.

Its a dead heat!

I like the use of hand beams to warm your hands on cold days! but it would make snowball fights a bit of a problem, your getting pelted by snow as water trickles through your fingers.

It would, but I wouldn't want to ruin my opera gloves with hand beams. Don't judge me.

And in a cold weather situation, I can just kill whoever's with me and stick my hands in their dead body. Or start a fire. Whichever I feel like doing.

I'm still gonna liking the idea of being able to do the Darkseid pose and having flames shooting out my eyes. *shoots eyebeams at a random bystander* OWWWWWW!!!! I SHOT MY EYEBEAMS WITH SHADES ON! MY EYES, THEY'RE MELTING!!!! YEE GODS, THE PAIN!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!


And that children, is why you never wear shades when you can shoot eyebeams. Otherwise you'll melt them onto your head.

Eye beams, pinpoint accuracy, plus they can be invisible, imagine, someone won't shut up and wham, insant lobotomy.In al seriousness, Supes has 3 kinds of eye beams, pinpoint laser vision, heat vision and widespread heat vision(Hits everything in the line of his sight.)
would you get one or all three?

I imagine if you had one, you could eventually learn to emulate the others with practice.

Hand beams are better
u can fire them at two different directions.
amped punches would be awesome.
and most importantly, u can pretend to do a KAMEHAMEHA!

People seem to be forgetting that some people with EyeBeams could be crosseyed.

With eyebeams you could be hitting someone, and kicking them in the balls, then when they least suspect it, you could melt their face off.

Eyebeams ftw.

Better aim
Faster to fire (looking vs. pointing)
Looks less dumb

Seriously though each have their strengths.

Hmm.
Eyes Beams:
Better accuracy
Quicker draw
Harder to block

Hand Beams:
Shoot in multiple directions
Can be used to charge fists
Bigger Beams=more area Damage

I see in the poll that eyebeams now lead. 'Bout time. Even the word "eyebeams" looks cooler than "handbeams" (sounds almost like "hand creams".

Also, I've noticed that, generally speaking, DC seems to prefer eyebeams (probably because of Superman), while Marvel appears to prefer more handbeams (probably as a reaction to DC).

Too bad a third option wasn't presented, where you suddenly manifest energy at a given location with a mere thought. But I guess this would shut down both eye- and hand-beams lickity-split.

Blackbolt blasts from the mouth, sort of.

Neji (from Naruto) can relese energy from all over his body simultaneously.

I like how two of the three uses of eyebeams I use involve hurting others for no reason. It's three for three if the fire is used to burn people.

Eyebeams since it's WAY easier to aim with them and you don't need to look stupid while using them.

EYEBEAMS! and no not motivated by supes . Glowing eyes is sexy and you would look like a true god. I imagine using eyebeams would require less effort. And there is no draw like a gun in you hands. If someone is fast enough they would be able to draw their gun and shoot you before you lift your hand and as with eyes your pretty much already aiming at them. Then again if you handcuffed it would be a bit*h to get out lol (i mean if someone could handcuff me) Wait now that I think of it. With eye beams someone can restrict your movement of your neck and capture you. With hands I don't see how they would be able to contain you indefinitely (i guess they can cut off your arms). Damn it I was starting this post all gungho about eyebeams but Idk hand beams seem to have more utility in case sh*t happens. Idk what do you think about such situation guys?

Hand beams are more versatile and slightly more intimidating.

Some pros and cons...


Hand beams: you point your hands down at the ground and fire maximum burst to get super-jump and flight powers.

Eye beams: you point your eyes at the ground and fire maximum burst and you blow your feet off and get whiplash.

Hand beams: you can give people you don't like super-hot handshakes and they don't know wtf is going on.

Eye beams: let out a carefully timed burst to give your headbutt that extra boost during a fight.

Hand beams: when being shot at by an armed gang, duck behind a wall and safely fire back while staying behind cover.

Eye beams: when being shot at by an armed gang, duck behind a wall and stay there, because if you try shooting back you'll get shot in the head.

Hand beams: during a fight at night in the dark, move your arms around and use just one fist at a time to confuse your enemy as to exactly where you are.

Eye beams: during a fight at night in the dark, fire your eyebeams to let the enemy know exactly where to shoot to take the headshot.

Hand beams: you fire up your glowing hands and can pick up hot frypans with your bare hands.

Hand beams: you walk around with your coffee mug in your hand keeping it nice and warm, while the eye-beam guy's coffee gets cold unless he keeps staring at it.

Hand beams: during winter you make roasted almonds and popcorn in your hands.

Eye beams: you try to make roasted almonds and popcorn in your hands but you just burn your hands.

Eye beams: you are blasting something with your eye-beams when a friend walks up and says "hello". Instinctively you turn around to answer and blow their head clean off. You are arrested and charged with manslaughter.

Hand beams: you walk around with your coffee mug in your hand keeping it nice and warm, while the eye-beam guy's coffee gets cold unless he keeps staring at it.

Hand beams: during winter you make roasted almonds and popcorn in your hands.

Eye beams: you try to make roasted almonds and popcorn in your hands but you just burn your hands.

Eye beams: you are blasting something with your eye-beams when a friend walks up and says "hello". Instinctively you turn around to answer and blow their head clean off. You are arrested and charged with manslaughter.

EBs ftw

Eye beams I think would normally be a lot more useful. When robbing a bank for example, you could carry the money AND be able to fend off the police with your eyes. Also they would be handy if you were restrained. Anyway you look at it, eyebeams are more versatile because they still allow you the use of both hands.
The only downside really is how fragile the eye is. 50% of your power could be taken by a stray shot from a Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model BB gun with a compass in the stock.

Hand beams: you point your hands down at the ground and fire maximum burst to get super-jump and flight powers.

Eye beams: you point your eyes at the ground and fire maximum burst and you blow your feet off and get whiplash.

Hand beams: you can give people you don't like super-hot handshakes and they don't know wtf is going on.

Eye beams: let out a carefully timed burst to give your headbutt that extra boost during a fight.

Hand beams: when being shot at by an armed gang, duck behind a wall and safely fire back while staying behind cover.

Eye beams: when being shot at by an armed gang, duck behind a wall and stay there, because if you try shooting back you'll get shot in the head.

Hand beams: during a fight at night in the dark, move your arms around and use just one fist at a time to confuse your enemy as to exactly where you are.

Here are the pros and cons

1. Hand beams allow you to shoot in multiple directions simultaneously (like in front and back at the same time).

2. Hand beams allow you take cover better while fighting.

3. Eye beams are much accurate (if you can see the target then you will hit the target)

4. Eye beams come out faster (One can possibly get shot before they raise their hands to shoot hand beams).

With that said, Hand beams are better when fighting the government (tanks and police) and eye beams are better when defending yourself against a single opponent pointing a gun at you.

I would take handbeams for the above reason.

Pointing your arm behind your back and expecting to hit anything is a bit much. A ways back I was watching a shooting exhibition documentary and it was pointed out that historically very few people have been able to fire on 2 different targets at once from a fair range. Obviously using beams you could adjust your shot as you were shooting, but people thinking you could just twirl around shooting stuff behind your back are misguided and have been watching too many crappy John Woo films. Also I think Eyebeams are better for fighting the goverment, police, etc. Whats the first thing they say when they draw their weapons on you? "Put your hands up" or something along those lines. Any sudden movements with them and you'd be riddled with holes. However you can put your hands behind your back and still roast em.

You don't have to reach out your arm to fire a beam...

so you can hold your arms at your sides and still fire in front of yourself accurately?

Yup.

Just aim your palm or hands at them....

You don't need to point your hand behind you to shoot what's behind.
You turn sideways and blast in both directions.
If you turn around you can fire a near omnidirection blast.

If you have eyebeams then you can get shot from behind easily. With eyebeams you can only fire once at a time. You would also have to stick your head out to shoot (getting you face blasted off). So how is eyebeams better for fighting the government?

If the government has you surrounded when they say "put your hands up" then eyebeams wont help you at all.

Eyebeams only have two advantages.
1. They are good for quick draws (like clint eastwood).
2. They are more accurate (but pointing your finger is pretty accurate too).

Note: You can use eyebeams when your hands are occupied (even though with handbeams you can do the same just slower. You must drop the objects you are holding first). So this is the same as 1.

Note2: you have to be careful with handbeams as you can easily shoot your other arm while you are blasting with both arms wildly.

Good stuff!

eye beams look at darkseid he is de UBER however glowing fists would proably make you stronger still id go for eye beams the only problem being i wear glasses so id have to fire blind.

Handbeams? Just use guns.

Eyebeams ftw.

The power is from within you. A stray blast from one arm to another will feel like someone's fingers brushing over your arm even as part of the beam overshoots to knock a parked vehicle into another zip code.

The energy field from your hands or eyes can be extended to the rest of your body Just like Gambit does. To serve as a protective aura and to amp your physical stats -strength-durability-agility-speed-

Eyebeams can be neutralised by a face mask. "Hand" beams are not organ specific the energy can be projected from any point on your epidermus with varying amounts of accurracy.

"Hand beams"

If the OE was a hand beam many more would die!!!!
