😐 If it absorbs all kinetic energy then it would bounce harmlessly off people.

I don't understand how people can think that Cap can throw his shield faster than Cyclops can fire his optic beams.
Originally posted by who?-kidYep. Additionally Cyclops attack is continuous.
What Cyclops sees, he hits. As good as (almost) instantaneous. And since his blasts are much more dangerous than Captain America's shield => my vote goes for Cyclops.
Captain America somehow against physical possibility fits his 6'2, 200lb frame behind a 2.5 ft diameter shield? Cyclops blasts the ground beneath him. Or waits until he tries to make a move and then blasts him. Or does a ricocheting shot and blasts him from behind.
Captain America tries to make a run for him. Cyclops blasts his legs off.
Captain America tries to throw the shield and gets shot because the optic blasts are faster.
If by some miracle Captain America does get close enough to engage H2H yes he is a better fighter, but Cyclops can hold his own long enough to... you guessed it... blast him away.

Oh, Xmarks...how did you come to be so intelligent?
Can anyone tell me how fast Cyke's blast is? I'm just wondering what kind of speed / agility would be needed to dodge the average blast.
Would speedsters like Northstar, Aurora, Quicksilver, etc see it in slow motion? Or is it actually a light speed blast...in which case Cyclops is practically unbeatable to all street levelers! 😄

For some reason, it doesn't appear to be light-speed. However, it is still extremely fast. From all the comic evidence I've seen, I'd estimate somewhere around half of the speed of light. To me, it appears to be about that fast.
Usually high-level speedsters can avoid it if prepared. But only barely, because of their superhuman reflexes. Although Cyke has tagged both Quicksilver and Northstar before.
