Well Bisshop didn't get blown back by Onslaughts Blast which while ti is not pure concussive force certaihnly has a concussive component. There is no reason for him to get blasted back. Also whether Cyclops shoots directly at him or indirectly he is still trying to hit him with kinetic energy which won't work.

That and the fact he was fighitng Onslaught in Canada and got knocked to Jersey whistling
I know, I've got the comic right here in my hands right now.
I just used the term "cross-country" as a general statement as to how far he was knocked.
And I thought that was a very funny line of Beast's.
In the Civil War, there was a part where Cyclops attacked Bishop. here's a quote:
"...ensuring that Cyclops attacked Bishop. Though at first he simply absorbed it, the power was too much for him to control as he was overwhelmed, and he was forced to direct the energy he had absorbed upwards in a powerful blast."
Cyclops, so long as he can recharge his energy, can bring unknown vast amounts of power. If Bishop asborbs all of it, it will overwhelm him. But remember, Cyclops biggest fear is his loss of control. So he probably wouldn't go to that extreme. Instead he's use his surroudings and combat abilities. As far as it goes about Cyclops having no protect from Bishop's blasts, people don't realize that Scott's whole character is about paying attention to your surroundings, being in control, and being a stratgist. He wont go easily. And Bishop is a soldier, a warrior. This would be a pretty intense even fight.

* so Bishop does not have to wince or make his face ugly while absorbing Onslaught's blast 'coz it's his mutant power... the wincing proves Bishop's in pain while in the act of absorption... poor writing indeed, he does not need to be in pain if it includes in his mutant power, it will just flow smoothly...

Actually, I'm kinda agreeing with peejayd here.Bishop will be able to absorb the energy, but the initial concussive force should still hit him.
I mean, when he gets punched/kicked, he still gets punched/kicked. He gets knocked back and feels the pain. Happened in X-treme X-men a few times. He did absorb the energy, but he did get hit nonetheless.
Now, Cyke's blast will indeed hit Bishop, and since this is bloodlust, it would, in fact, kill Bishop before he could absorb the energy. The energy that Bishop is more commonly used to absorbing is energy-based. Like lasers and bio-blasts and such. But a concussive force is basically a punch. He's gonna get hit and feel it. And in this case, since it's Cyke's optic blasts, it'll probably kill him (punch a hole right through him).
Man, this really is a tough fight here. I've changed my mind several times now.
I think...at least for the moment...Cyke: 6/10.

Bishop can absorb all kinds of energy and even magic making Cyclops power ineffective. Bishop needs only one shot from his energy weapons or shot from absorbed energy and Cyclops is dead. Bishop can not be taken out with one shot.In hand-to-hand combat Bishop beats Cyclops imo.
cyclops has put him down with blasts before.
