And if its "rl" rules then "rl physics" would get Cykes necked snapped. [/B]
Cyclops is immune to his own energy. It can hit him and nothing will happen, because of said immunity. It's a bit of silliness even when considering the whole physics thing, but you have to remember that Cyclops, most likely, is being hit by his own beams every minute of every day when his eyes are open.

Yep. His eyes are just the portal. The energy doesn't come from him, though he can absorb it.
