Cyclops vs Wonder Woman

She walks through it. The only way she doesn't is if you use her lowest showings to determine her base stats.

What feats suggest that she walks through it?

Namor was dehydrated and exhausted here. This is just a piece of the showing but he brushed through Cyclops blast and no, Cyclops wasn't holding back. Ends thread...

That doesn't look like 1km

Hasn't WW survived like a black hole? Or the event horizon or something...I can't see Scott putting anywhere near city level destructive power let alone enough to put down Diana.

Interesting thread..1 km is pretty far.

Yeah. And Cyke won't run out of power.

Has he ever? Always thought it was a stamina thing

It generally is portrayed as such, yes. We just have to take the OP in to consideration is all.

The handbooks used to also say that the closer you were to Cyclops when he fired, the more powerful his blast was too. Even if we assume that his range is longer than was intended back in the day, that doesn't remove the possibility that at point blank range there's much more power to deal with.

If you locked Cyke up in the indestructible underground dungeon - with no exit - let's say for months - wouldn't Scott "lose" his mutant ability?

He *does* need to absorb the sunlight in order to keep his mutant power working.

X-Men TAS (Morlocks episodes) says hello.

Comics are a bit wonky on it, but handbooks say yes, he needs sunlight to have optic energy of any real potency.

Here's the pages I was most easily able to reference:

I'd have to check some newer handbooks, but I doubt I'll see anything that contradictory outside of the whole punch energy thing.

Edit: New handbook:

"Ambient energy" is vague as hell.

Yeah, I'm familiar with handbooks.

But has a scene similar to the one from X-Men TAS happened in comics?

Oh right, sorry.

Nothing in recent years comes to mind. A Morlock-esque "trapped underground for ages" thing didn't happen that I recall, but a "cut off from the sun" type thing? That has, in X-Men Annual #3, for which, apparently, no HD scan exists.

I'm sure you've seen the numerous "ugh, I used too many optic blasts and now I need to recharge" moments too.

Thanks 👆

And just to be an ass (you know I can't help it), no, you're wrong, HD scans of old annuals exist:

Yeah, but many of those could be chalked up to the stamina thing, as Sin pointed out.

Anyway, in *this* thread, he is able to sustain the blast indefinitely, which means he's not having to worry about it regardless of how his powers work.

Yeah, the stamina thing helps.

I just don't think it'll affect the thread outcome too much. Say what you will about her piercing durability, but Diana has taken blunt hits from some of the best, and that skews her average pretty highly I would think.

You ****ing know Deathstroke doesn't count. How dare you.

I'd say she can but I can be convinced otherwise.

Cyke is lacking high showings, that's the main problem here.

Even Pr seems to agree on that.

Diana's a magical being made out of f*cking clay under some writers, her durability is not meant to make any sense.

We cannot be sure how she would react to Summers' optic blast... but since it's intended to be purely concussive energy, it should basically be treated as a continuous wave of superhuman punches... and yeah, most of the time, Diana does well against those.

Yeah, that's why I was siding with her.

We really need a comic or two where he knocks the likes of Thing and Namor the **** out.
