Cyclops has to remove his visor or adjust its power settings. That's easily time enough for Cap to get behind his shield.

Cyclops's beams are solar powered. He can fire them at night or underground because his body STORES THE SOLAR ENERGY. If he runs out of those stores, he's reliant on the sun for power. Even if this fight takes place on an open field at full sunlight, he only has until next nightfall.
Originally posted by PiedmonEr, No, cause Cyclops can dodge while firing, throwing the sheild is a BAD idea. . .
Although it's pretty likely Cap could throw his shield and knock Cyclops out before Scott's hand even reaches his temple.
Originally posted by PiedmonYou said he had to take off the visor to adjust it. Why does he need to make adjustments to the visor?
Uh... guys, this is basic stuff. Cyke's visor is adjustable. He can narrow it, to allow one thin beam, or pull it back/take it off entirely for the Big Bang.
Originally posted by PiedmonIn which case he loses no stored energy.
Yes, in full sunlight it repleneshes him, but if he keeps shooting at full power he'll be using the energy as quickly as it's siphoned.

Originally posted by PiedmonAnd Cyclops has hit harder targets than some guy with a scrap of metal.
Cyclops's chances of dodging the shield are pretty much nil. Steve has hit much harder targets than a man with some acrobatics training.
And he's dodged worse than scrap metal.
Yes, it's modulatable to the finest degree. They explain this in GIANT SIZE X-MEN #1. Know what else? They also explain how Cyclops's energy blasts are SOLAR POWERED. You should try to learn things like that before you argue for this character.
Cap is far more experienced and a much more skilled combatant than Cyclops. That shield is no piece of scrap metal. In the proper hands, it's deadlier than any gun. Cyclops thinks he's leaping aside of it, until it suddenly turns in midair and clocks him on the chin.
Just went on the Marvel Directory and found something interesting....
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.
Uh-hunh. So Cap can go turtle for about 15 minutes until Cyke's proverbial wad is blown, and then pretty much finish him off at will.

Oh, got offended by the "scrap metal" comment? Then don't belittle the opposing character by downplaying him like that.
By the time it would change direction to hit him the fight is over, Cap'n A at that point has no defense. . . Zakt. . .

Same site that says that Galactus wieghs 18 tons. . .
Same site that needs to be updated. . . and that you can't always trust.
Uh... he can turn the shield?
Here's something else from Cyclops's biography on the Marvel Directory:
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.
Interesting.... so that's not exactly 180 degrees, is it? Nor is it his most powerful beam. Cap could roll the shield while remaining crouched behind it, Temple-of-Doom style. He's not immobile, just playing defensive until Cyclops exhausts himself.
