There you go. It's been established and is cannon that even an energy absorber of limited ability like Cyclops can take Storms most powerful lightning and survive, that means that EVERY instance of her hurting an energy absorber with lightning is nothing more than PIS 😄 .
Not so. The lightning was filtered through her body before it hit Cyclops. Also, there is no proof that Scott can do that with lightning in our universe. There, there was no sun for him to absorb rays from, so he metabolised her lightning instead (and was hurt badly). However, in our world, his body metabolizes sun rays. There is no proof that he can metabolise both at the same time and he has never been shown to have that ability.
Again, Storm can filter lightning through her body to tone it down. However, she can control the degree of this. Hence, in Giant-Sized issue 1, she toned it down enough for Polaris to absorb it without dying. However, later on in a future arc, she obviously toned it down less and took Lorna out of the fight with lightning from her body.
