I agree.


yea, I little unsure, I say Cyclops perhaps is the more skilled, but Luke Cage is a large man. So it could very well be a toss up.

What if Bendis were writing this fight? shifty

1) LC easily tanks Scotty's blast and bitchslaps him.

2) Cage one-shots him.

1.Cyclops
2.Cage

Magneto1982
1) Cyclops

2) Luke Cage (only because of his strength)

Mshinu
Going with Cyke for both. His fighting style is well suited to deal with stronger opponents.

No powers for 2.

And Scott wins both.
1. GTFO my lawn blast.
2. Headbutts the crap out of Luke. Scott has insane damage soak feats.

Kaos sebaceous
i didnt see that there was no powers in the second fight.

in that case cyclops deffinately takes both

Luke would never be able to close the distance.

Cyclops beats him in both.

StiltmanFTW
Honestly... the way he is being wanked, Luke yells "SWEET CHRISTMAS, WHERE IS MY MONEY, HONEY?!", wades through Scott's blasts and rapes him in front of Jean, Maddie, Emma, Wolverine, Xavier and Mister Sinister.

zopzop
1) Definitely Cyclops.
2) Luke. He's been trained by Danny.

StiltmanFTW
And Cyclops learned from Wolverine, who bested Danny cool

StiltmanFTW
But then again, maybe I remember it wrong.

Pr, come here. Has Scott picked up anything from Wolverine? There was that issue when he mentions several X-Men who taught him something (when he's fighting a group of street thugs with his eyes closed).

1. Cyclops most likely.

2. Cage, street smart's.

He doesn't mention Logan specifically in that instance iirc, but like most things Cyclops-related, you would imagine he did, given how much he studied and studies with the X-Men.

Who does he mention? Bobby, Kurt, someone else?

Of course it makes sense, but we always need proof on battleboards, that's why I retracted my statement.

If someone as retarded as Cage picked up some "kung-fu shit" (his own words) from Danny, then it's only logical Scott would pick up some MA techniques from Logan, considering how often they worked as a team or even as a duo, watching each other's back, w/o the rest of the X-Men.

I'm just wondering if it's been stated on panel. Cyclops did notice that Kitty used new moves and figured Logan taught her them, so he's definitely not ignorant in that matter.

Wait, no, he did mention Logan. My bad. I was going off memory. The scans mention him:

I mean, I know I repeat myself, but Cyclops should basically be the X-Men's Batman by this point. What are we supposed to believe he spent his time doing when Hank was in the lab or Warren was off learning to run his company? And there's a fair bit of "Cyclops taught character x" too.

StiltmanFTW
Ha! So it wasn't my imagination, I was right the first time stick out tongue

Been a while since I've read that scene, thanks for the scans thumb up

That's actually much better than Luke's feat, since:

it's not an isolated incident,
he keeps his eyes closed,
Logan beat Danny in their sparring,
Scott mentions the other X-Men he learned from.

I miss the old times when writers knew Cage was shit and had him getting his ass handed to him by Classic Rogue or even Scorpion.

Now...? He one-shots the likes of Rhino, beats Colossus off-panel, knocks Hulk down with one punch, smashes Wrecker with a car, makes Ethan Edwards bleed and so on.

#BlackLivesMatter Cage is Class 100+ indestructible monster who would probably eat Cyclops' optic blast for breakfast and spit it back at him, killing Scott in the process (even though he should be immune to his own blasts).

Modern Cage has dozens of feats that make no sense.

They really can't decide Cage's level:

Many of those portrayals are from the 90s, well before BLM.

Why does Bill not get the same benefit?

He also punched Nefaria in the face and made Ethan Edwards bleed.

Both are Superman "clones".

He knocks out Ironclad back in the 90s.

StiltmanFTW
It is from AvX.

Uncanny X-Men, technically, but that issue was a tie-in to AvX. Namor did beat Cage and used his body as a weapon against She-Hulk, one-shotting her from behind.

You're thinking of AvX Vs. mini, Phil. Which was ten times worse.

Buuuut!

Your boy Mags did have a great showing against Tony.

Yeah, it was clear from the start that he'd lose to Iron Man because the writers are all "haha we're so clever the man in metal beats the master of magnetism" like idiots, but at least he was winning until he was distracted by the Phoenix, and got some good feats like drawing power from suns and shit.

Domino vs Rulk.

Jarvis vs Toad.

StiltmanFTW
The last issue doesn't really count.

But if we ignore the lulzcontent nature of it, they were still legit wins, unlike Clint taking a hostage or Rasputin leaving the battlefield.

cdtm
1. Luke Cage, with ease.


2. Cage, with ease. Danny taught him a thing or two, and Cage actually got the better of him.

Yeah, the official "winners" in the Vs. mini weren't always the true winners.

Other examples include Parker vs. Colossusnaut (SM won by default) or Hawkeye vs. Archangel (Clint cheated).


Or Cap vs Cyclops (Cyke aimed right at his shield, instead of his exposes parts or widebeaming it)


Or Cap vs Gambit (Because come on.. Gambit should have blown Steve to Kingdom Come)

Here he focuses his blast so tight, it punches right through Blob. Imagine that aimed at Luke's head:
https://i.postimg.cc/gnhL9HX0/NMvSg6c.jpg

Without PIS/CIS, Luke isn't avoiding it either. His blasts move at light speed :
https://i.postimg.cc/Mn8MzfVm/dZPe0JY.jpg

As iffy as I think the whole light speed thing is, even if it's the speed I think it is, Luke Cage isn't ****ing dodging it. Not with any real effectiveness.

Yeah, Cap vs. Gambit was pretty dumb.

It can be bullet speed, that's enough.

Sad thing is, I doubt Scott's beam can even make Luke stfu about Harlem, white privilege, prison life, anal sex, sweet christmas and that time when he beat the living shit out of Dr. Doom because he owed him money.

Bullet speed, or a smidge faster, is generally how I imagine it. Just supplemented by his ridiculous accuracy.

True.

Here it is again, said to be traveling at the speed of light :
https://i.postimg.cc/ht2mg8nG/1501858-1132114-757185-xman55120nv-super-super.jpg

And here it is again :
https://i.postimg.cc/n9jKKLm3/1096179-02.jpg

It was said to travel at light speed at least two more times on panel, one was relatively recent too but I can't find the scans. Irregardless that's three scans I posted that said it moves at light speed.

DarkSaint85
You mean here, where the limiting factor is his servo speed:

https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/8/80103/3285843-2730308-northstar.jpg

I mean, if I hold a torchlight, the beam also travels at lightspeed. But my reactions, and the torchlight mechanism, doesn't move at lightspeed.

DarkSaint85
Just for Stilt love

https://i.imgur.com/E6iXy0M.png

I think it might be Mimic there though.

Philosophía
Cyclops' beams are lightspeed -- and that's not the first time Wolverine reacts to them in that way, either:
https://i.imgur.com/CE1GaAT.png

-Pr-

Philosophía
I chalk it up to the same plot reasons that everybody with lightspeed eye-beams and ridiculous precisions can be dodged -- plot . And we can rationalize it with the time it takes him to move his head/eyelids/visors -- but it's hard to do so when the ability is literally "has to look at you".
