Hmm, good point. With his moral code, Cold might hesitate to fire in a crowd, while current Cyclops would probably just frag any flatscan scum bystanders that got in the way without a thought.

beastly enough. not sure if your seriously questioning his aiming ability or not. his accuracy/spatial awareness/richochet is up there with cap. but people seem concerned he cant hit a human sized object a block away...lulzworthy
Lol.
You misunderstand me.
Do you play pool/snooker /billiards?
It's relatively easy to ricochet the cue ball around and pot the black.
Or even aim straight for the pocket, and pot the black.
It's not as easy to pot, if the table is completely covered in beer bottles.
You're just imagining Cyclops doing his usual thing of seeing Cold and shooting him. IN AN EMPTY ROOM, or across AN EMPTY FIELD. Or doing some amazing ricochet trick shot. But they're all so far done in an empty space, not a crowded midtown Manhattan street.
Both have general knowledge of each other. That gives Cold the advantage. Why?
Because he knows what Cyclops can do. He would choose to move and create a cold field instantly right after the bell. Cyke's beam is concussive and the field will stop or greatly slow the beam down. Also, Cyke's hand is not on his visor at the start. It's at his side. So technically, both have the same chances of quick drawing.
the only reason we are saying that is because cold would rather freeze a whole city or block. if that is what he is going to do then yes but he will take out almost all the heroes from earth with this city wide flash freeze. not saying its not possible.
clops doesn't have to shoot through the crowd with all the building and stuff to use to deflect off of. he could beam it above the crowds height and come down from an above angle to KO possibly but i think he could still disarm him. still give it to cold most of the times.
its def a handicap for Cyclops and not really testing his powers moreso his character

he doesn't need to finger his visor at least he didn't use to that was just one of the ways it worked

I imagined no such thing. Cyclops has hit moving targets, miniscule targets, long distance targets. His aim is exemplary. Cold also isn't going to do an absolute zero AOE in midtown. Atleast not in char
However he will/can gen a stasis field. THAT will be difficult for Scott go get around and Im not sure if Scott could hit him before he got it up. and once up not sure if he could overpower it. But its definitely not a stomp for either char, the wanking here knows no bounds

He always have to touch his visor to open and adjust the aperture. Otherwise if it is already open then all he needs to do is open and close his eyes.

How does he open the aperture then or adjust the aperture to allow different types of beams?
It used to be if he stood/posed a certain way. He also had buttons in his gloves. Since Astonishing X-Men, it responds to brainwaves iirc.
He most likely has to touch the visor to adjust the size of the beam, but to fire a standard blast? Nope.
