What the hell are you talking about? You're the one running around with this "holier than thou" routine, not myself.
And really, how about you just ask me what I meant by the link. I have no reason to lie, especially over a comic. I posted that link with a question mark because, due to your wording, was unsure what you meant. I KNEW what was going on the scan, it's really not that hard to comprehend, my friend. I just wasn't sure if that's what you were referring to or not.
Wolverine was "cool" when I was a kid... but as I grew up I respected Cyclops' abilities, team leadership, and overall character development so much more.
To me:
Wolverine is the Vin Diesel of comics. Go watch Pitch Black.
Cyclops is the Russel Crowe of comics. Go watch Cinderella Man.

"Cinderella Man?" I think the MUCH better comparison would be "Gladiator", my friend. Think about it. Being the leader of his fellow gladiators and constantly leading them to victory? And being the most powerful of them all in one-on-one as well? It's the perfect analogy.
Actually, I was talking about the character development of the comic characters vs the actors choices of characters in the movies they portray.
Cinderella man shows an character of angst, with a very fleshed out and well told story. (Not that Gladiator isn't, I was just stating a point about the depth of character development)
Whereas Vin Diesel plays... Fast and the Furious and Riddick... as slashemup... boring types...
hell arnold was better in conan then Vin was in Riddick.

How, in any way, could that scan be asking me whether I was referring to it or not? I posted an explanation that Cyclops can miss and his eyebeams can't bend. You then immediately posted a scan of what appeared to be Cyclops' beams bending. Are you saying that you were trying to help bolster my explanation of why Cyclops can miss with that scan? Now that's really streching it. Point is, you need to get over me making you feel foolish.
Technically, it is near-impossible for Cyclops to miss.
His blasts move with the speed of light. He only needs to watch his target and think about firing. He can just follow Wolverine with his eyes and blast him.
And honestly, Wolverine: Origins did not portray Cyclops very well. Please try to take rest of his history in comparision and not focus on his low showings.
I can't believe you just ignored my explanation of why Cyclops can miss. I'll repost it for your benefit.
Do you understand now? Yes, Cyclops could keep him in his line of sight if his visor didn't restrict the beam's direction. If he was Superman, who could direct his heat vision anywhere he looked at without moving his head, I'd grant you your premise. But it obviously is not. Cyclops CANNOT just simply look and shoot. He has to point his visor in the direction he shoots. And just like the camcorder analogy, the closer an opponent is, the harder that becomes.
* actually, there is no point where Cyke can lose this match with Logan... i stand corrected when i said Cyke can miss because of the limited line of sight of his visor (on page 98)... this one goes to mr.OneDumbG0... if yu can visit the "Cyclops Respect Thread", there, you can see how Quicksilver commented on Cyke's quick execution of his blasts, only Pietro's speed had saved him from being hit by the blasts... and Logan's speed is nowhere near Pietro's...
* Cyke has MORE options especially because of the range advantage... and Cyke won't go down easily even if, by some miracle, Logan ever rushes close because Cyke is also good in H2H... in a quicker split-second reaction, Cyke can just kick Logan away and blast him again and again...
* there is no need for Cyke to take his visor off, it would just be an overkill...

That just shows how much of a "great tactician" he is.
