Alec Smith is a Features Writer for Collider currently studying screenwriting at Chapman University's Dodge College. If he isn't writing, he's probably watching The Batman, Batman, Batman vs Superman... or all three. Caped Crusader aside, Alec has a wide appreciation for all movies and TV.

The Big Picture When you see a superhero using their powers, it’s pretty easy to tell what their gimmick is: Quicksilver runs fast, Magneto controls magnetic fields, and Beast is... well, a beast. But when it comes to a particular member of the X-Men, while their powers may seem pretty straightforward, you might be wrong if you tried to explain. The mutant in question is Scott Summers, aka Cyclops , the leader of the X-Men and breakout star of X-Men ‘97 on Disney+.

Release Date March 20, 2024 Cast Jennifer Hale , Cal Dodd , Chris Potter , Catherine Disher , Adrian Hough , Ray Chase , Lenore Zann Main Genre Animation Seasons 2 Number of Episodes 10 Streaming Service Disney+ Franchise X-Men What Do Cyclops' Eye Beams Do, and Where Do They Come From? Despite the similarity in appearance, Cyclops’ eye beams are very different from conventional heat vision seen in characters like Superman, Ikaris, and Sentry.

As seen in X-Men ‘97, Cyclops’ eye beams hold much more power than... well, meets the eye. As a concussive force, rather than a white-hot laser, Cyclops can do things like save himself from falling or push himself back for a quick escape. He can also ricochet blasts and has used them to play games like pool in the comics. Most importantly, his eye beams pack a deadly punch, but the amount of force used is entirely controllable by Cyclops. As described on Marvel.

To combat this impediment, Scott wears a visor fitted with ruby-quartz lenses. Ruby quartz is the only known substance capable of blocking the beams and allows Scott not only to open his eyes but also control the intensity of his blasts. When he isn’t out on a mission as Cyclops, Scott wears glasses, also made from ruby quartz, to protect those around him.
