We all know Black Manta. King of the Optic Blasts. 1 billion dollars at the Box office and counting.
But you may not know of this obscure comic character called Cyclops. He was in a few low budget indie movies that barely anyone saw and he has optic blasts too, but its like a disability.
We using movie versions or comic versions? If we going by comic versions, I'm taking Cyclops for the win. He has some good showings with his optic blasts : focusing his laser into a tight beam and punching a hole through Blob, his famous "get off my lawn" blast, etc...

oddly enough i could see manta taking this one. he can counter the eye beam and has some other weapons to fall back on. not a stomp by any stretch, but i think i'd take manta for a slight majority here. good fight.
Are you guys being sarcastic or serious? I can't tell sometimes on this forum. What are Black Manta's best feats/showings with his optic blasts? Does he have anything comparable to these feats :
Matching Garokk (powered by the same generators that sustained the Savage Land) in a beam war : (please log in to view the image)
Cyclops has far, far more skilful showings with his blasts, which to be fair makes sense given not just his history, but him being portrayed as having ridiculous accuracy.
Manta on the other hand... Inconsistent as a lot of his showings might be, he has been consistently able to harm Aquaman with his blasts, even burning his skin on occasion. Cyclops has never don't that to someone THAT durable with a straight up blast. If he gets creative and tries to burrow a pencil-width-blast through Manta's helmet it might work, but I just feel like a suit built to fight Aquaman would protect Manta from all but the most devastating of Cyclops's attacks, and maybe even then some.

Wow the professor is in. Haven’t seen you make a post that long about a match in a long while. I thought only carver brought out that kind of passion in you. Lol
