Dude. Rhino had just stomped him. RHINO. Is he better than the factor? So what makes Spidey so great? They just pumped him up a bunch so he'd look good. And I think that you are forgeting a very important factor: The beam isn't all Cyke is gonna do. He's not standing there shooting is he? Of course not. He's gonna run, he's gonna throw some punches. He's not as strong or fast or agile, of course!! But he has fought guys stronger/faster/agile. And he won. Nightcrawler...
We have reviewed and re-reviewed Spidey's abilities, but we've really only looked at one aspect of Scott's capabilities. Am I the only one who noticed?? Funny.
I wouldn't say that being able to defeat Nightcralwer gives him much credibility, especially when you add in the mix the fact that Spidey is a SUPERHUMAN in pretty much every physical aspect.
I do not doubt that if Cyke were to hit Spidey with an optic blast that Spidey wouldn't be down for the count, heck, with the right amount of force behind it Spidey would be killed. But that's the thing, Spidey has so many options to turn to what with pre cog heightening his already superhuman reflexes, speed, elasticity to maneuver himself gracefully in the air for multiple aerial attacks that would undoubtedly kill Cyke before he even got a chance to look up, and agility, to make it look easy (when it isn't).
I'm not saying that Cyclops is some kind of fly when compared to some, even most bricks, but when he's got a guy like Spidey on his case, a guy that pretty much outclasses him in every physical aspect, I wouldn't make Cyclops being an experienced tactician a giant factor for a fight between the two. And of course, what's to stop Spidey from using his webbing to catch the edge over Cyclops, not to say that it's some kind of necesscity or anything like that, but that doesn't mean that Spidey would overrule the option of using it. He could just latch onto Cyclops at the starting bell and yank him to the side while dodging a then off-target optic blast. To follow up, he could yank Cyclops high into the air again, detaching the web-line and sending him slungshot through the air while avoiding a few rogue blasts here and there. Need I explain what happens after Cyclops lands from so flying so high up? I mean, I don't doubt that, when putting Spidey's superhuman strength into perspective, he couldn't throw Cyclops so high into the air. Especially when you factor in the strength of the webbing.
