Because of his Visor, without it he has no control over his powers

Oh OK, thought you were referring to his mad judo skills which do tend to overshadow his other powers.

That comment about him saying he can't see when firing does ring a bell actually, but I can't remember if it was some old comic, or one of the movies or cartoons or what.

But no, it doesn't seem to be how Cyke was generally portrayed in his history. He tracks moving targets while he's firing for starters.

Yup.

But his eyes are still open either way.

he can see without his visor. iirc he had an injury as a child that cut off his control of the optic blasts subconsciously. if im not mistaken he would be just fine without the injury. Sight-wise anyways

Pretty much. Though Astonishing X-Men kind of got a bit weird about that too.

Marvel's not exactly consistent about that (see Mimic), but yeah. Injury happened when he parachuted with Alex, right Pr?

Yeah. Last time I checked, his powers flared up early (he was like, well below teen at the time). The blast somehow slowed their descent, but he was injured and in a coma for a while.

really loved that story. It perfectly captures why the world fears and hates mutants while still showing that mutants don't really have much of a choice in what their powers do.

Me too, and for the exact same reasons.
It really stuck with me for a long time.

Banner

Wildfire

Pheonix Jean Grey

Cyclops has zero control over his. Made even worse after the phoenix saga

He did manage to control it once though

So, Cyclops, blond? Not blind? Color blind?

Aquarian makes everyone weak, and he is unable to control who it affects:

Even if it is to save himself:

All he can do is vary its range. That's it.
