no, it's basically a fact that lightning would move faster than his optic blast. his optic blast has been shown to e arond the same speed as a bullet, and lightning moves sooooooooo much faster than that. it's an if, that cyke will iht her. cyke has to hit her to win, storm needs to hit somewhere near cyke to win.
I'm still not quite understanding "she only needs to hit somewhere near Cyke to win" thing.
I know that lightning sometimes leaves small craters where it hits, but that doesn't mean it will be affecting Cyclops. Just the ground beneath him. As he has already jumped to dodge the lightning bolt, the ground wouldn't be affecting him.
But hey, maybe I'm missing something that you'd care to enlighten me with?
jumped to dodge the ligthning? do you know how fast cyke would have to be to dodge natural ligthning? lol, he's no where near fast enough lol. the lightning still charges the air with static electricity or something like tjhat. i can't wuite remember, and it's hard to explain. but the lightning like heats and charges the air. it is a fact that a person doesn't even have to be hit from the ligthning to be severly injured. actually, it's also a fact that many people have been hospitalized because ligthning struck NEAR them.
* the matter of execution, bro. Cyke's blasts are constantly switched-on, that's why he can't control it... all he needs is to open his visor... he's much quicker now, now that it is thought-controlled...
* Storm needs to summon a certain elemental force first before it appears... as Storm is summoning a thunderbolt, for example, Cyke had already blasted her... that's my point, bro...
I had no idea that the visor was thought controlled now. In that case I'd say the odds lean a little more to Cyke's favor. However I still think Storm would have enough time to get a lightning bolt before she is struck, so it's still a tie I'd say. Does Storm have to gather energy or something? I thought it was instant. If it's not then Cyclops's prospects are starting to look pretty good.
Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's eyes are no longer the complex organic jelly that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. Instead, they are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinium universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinium universe is filled with particles that resemble photons, yet they interact with this universe's particles by transferring kinetic energy in the form of gravitons (the particle of gravitation). These particles generate great, directional concussive force when they interact with the objects of this universe.
Cyclops's mind has a particular psionic field that is attuned to the forces that maintain the apertures that have taken the place of his eyes. Because his mind's psionic field envelops his body, it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body. Thus, his body is protected from the effects of the particles, and even the thin membrane of his eyelids is sufficient to block the emission of energy. The synthetic ruby quartz crystal used to fashion the lenses of Cyclops's eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected.
The width of Cyclops's eye-blast seems to be focused by his mind's psionic field with the same autonomic function that regulated his oriinal eyes' ability to focus. As Cyclops focuses, the size of the aperture changes and thus act as a valve to control the flow of particles and beam's relative power. The height of Cyclops's eye-blast is controlled by his visor's adjustable slit. His narrowest beam, about the diameter of a pencil at a distance of 4 feet has a force of about 2 pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam 4 feet across which, at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of 500 pounds per square inch. The maximum angular measurement of Cyclops's eye-blast is equivalent to a wide-angle 35mm camera lens field of view (90 degree measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding this magazine's pages spread open, upright at 9.5 inches from your eyes). The minimum angular measurement is equivalent to the angle that the thickness of a pencil would subtend at 4 feet (3.5 degree, about a quarter of an inch viewed at 4 feet). The beam's effective range is about 2,000 feet, at which point a 1-inch beam has spread out to 10 feet square, and then has a pressure of .38 pounds per square inch. Cyclops's maximum force is sufficient to tip over a filled 5,000 gallon tank at a distance of 20 feet, or puncture a 1-inch carbon-steel plate at a distance of 2 feet.
The extra dimensional supply of energy for Cyclops's eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops's psionic field is active (which is constantly), there is the potential to emit energy. The only limit to the eye-blast is the mental fatigue of focusing constantly. After about 15 minute of constant usage, the psionic field subsides and allows only a slight leakage of energy to pass through the aperture. Cyclops's metabolism will recover sufficiently for him to continue in about an additional 15 minutes.
Special limitations: Due to a brain injury, Cyclops is unable to shut off his optic blasts at will and must therefore wear a visor or glasses with ruby quartz lenses that block the beams.
Equipment: The mask Cyclops wears to prevent random discharge is lined with powdered ruby quartz crystal. It incorporates two longitudinally mounted flat lenses which can lever inward providing a constantly variable exit slot of 0 inches to .79 inches in height and a constant width of 5.7 inches. The inverted clamshell mechanism is operated by a twin system of miniature electrical motors. As a safety factor their is a constant positive closing pressure provided by springs. The mask itself is made of high-impact cycolac plastic. There is an overriding finger-operated control mechanism on either side of the mask, and normal operation is through a flat micro-switch installed in the thumb of either glove.
* recently, it was thought-controlled... i just forgot the website where i read it...
Storm has the psionic ability to control the weather over limited areas. She can fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight. Storm has limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.
Special limitations: Storm's psionic powers over the weather are affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control of her emotions, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. Also, Storm suffers from severe claustrophobia.
* Storm's powers are psionic... she has to summon first...
Cyclops has the power to absorb vast solar energies and release it as powerful optical energy blasts. When he wants to generate an optic energy blast, he opens the visor. In the early days of the X-Men, the visor was controlled by switches on either side. Later it became thought-controlled, enabling him to fire his optic energy beams without needing his hands to open the visor. Cyclops has also exhibited the ability to fire pinpoint beams for more surgical operations like breaking a lock or hitting a very small target. In one instance, he even used his optic beams to break a teammate's fall by firing rhythmic blasts beneath him. While this resulted in a painful descent for the teammate, he prevented him from getting seriously injured or possibly killed. When Cyclops needs to inflict a maximum-strength strike, he is able to release awesome amounts of energy with his optic blasts. These blasts are quite deadly to non-powered individuals and could easily kill a normal human. He is well aware of this fact and exhibits extreme caution with his ruby quartz glasses or visor on all occasions. Against super-powered human or mutant opponents, Cyclops' optic energy blasts are very formidable. For some strange reason, Mr. Sinister is unusually susceptible to Cyclops' powers. At full power these beams can punch through mountains. He has an uncanny ability to compute trigonometric relations, which allows him to bounce his optic blasts with incredible accuracy. He has invulnerability to his own power and that of Havok. Due to a brain injury, Cyclops is unable to shut off his optic blasts at will and must therefore wear a visor or glasses with ruby quartz lenses that block the beams.

I have the right to state what I want no matter what. And just because I have seen the show and you have read the comics, doesn't make you or your opinions any more better than mine or have precedent over mine.
Who is anyone to say which one is more accurate.
