Yup.
However Sci Fi that optic blast is, we can still observe it's effects: namely, kinetic punch, and heat.
The blast seems to be very hot when it hits something, as evidence by the "burnt" glowing edges of everything it punches a hole through, and Wolverine's claws started to heat up.
On top of this, it is show packing a kinetic punch against all objects it hits, most specifically, Sabertooth on more than one occasion. 😄
The comic book has that optic blast being more of a kinetic punch type of energy blast. Personally, the movie version has it better.
Now, the Sci Fi part comes in from where Scott gets that blast: he's pulling it from another universe. Weird. It confuses me, but Scott is one of my fav characters, so I let weird stuff like that slide.

Movie version isn't 'better', they screwed it up. Cyclops' optic blast has always been a concussive force, in the comics, cartoon and X-men film trilogy.
It sets him apart from his brother's (Havok) blast, which is heat based.

That's your opinion.
As a student of science, I appreciate that Scott's optic blast also has a thermal energy component to it. To me, it makes more sense that a kinetic blast would have some sort of thermal byproduct.
You do know that temperature is simply the measure of average kinetic energy, don't you? Makes perfect sense that a kinetic blast would transfer some of it's kinetic energy into thermal energy upon impact, and while traveling through the air.

I don't know what you are trying to pull here. Cyke's blast has always been concussive, not heat. Fact, not my opinion.
Don't try to pull that science student rank on me either.
What, there's a SCIENCE STUDENT here?
For the record, what they did in Origins to Cyclops' blast was inconsistent and lame.
Cyclops' blast in X1-3 was pure concussive; in Origins, it varied. Remember when DP blast Sabretooh in the chest and smashed him a bit through concrete? There was no heat there, his shirt didn't even burn.
Conclusion: Origins was an inconsistent mess that doesn't jive with the movie canon of X1-3.

That's not rank no does it omply rank. It has nothing to do with me using my position to make myself right in anyway.
Stop trolling.
My post clearly indicates that I appreciate his optic blast having a thermal componenet to it, IN THE MOVIES, because, you guessed it, I am a student of science. That implies that I like learning about it. Leave it to you to troll and make it what it isn't.
Here's an example of what I did.
Pretend someone just watched a Lawyer movie. After they watched it, the comment on a method one of the Lawyer's used. They say, "As a student of law, I appreciated the angle they took that from."
Stop trying to cause problems that don't exist. If you troll again, I'll start reporting you from now on.

1. PIS in a movie? Surely not. 😛
2. I could have sworn in X-1 his optic blast left burning edges when Toad ripped off his visor. I am unable to confirm. Can you confirm or disprove this?

Then don't dismiss something as "thats your opinion" when it's fact.
And please do report me, mr science student.

No burning edges on the roof of the train station, iirc (and I usually do, like 99.98745% chance of).
