Casually halted a strike from a somewhat weakened Thor. Matched Gladiator) | **Universe level+** (Based on the recorded power levels of the Phoenix Five and Avengers, Tony Stark and Beast believed that there was no probable chance of Thor defeating Cyclops) | At least **Universe level+** (Much stronger than before.

**Standard Equipment:** Ruby Quartz visor to suppress his optic blasts, along with firing studs to release it. Also carries a jet pack

**Weaknesses:** Cyclops has mentioned that he needs to fire blasts frequently, because he gathers surplus energy within him if not. He apparently needs an outlet for that energy. Due to psychological trauma and physical injury at a young age, Cyclops is unable to control his optic blasts. In connection, his eyes have become more reliant on the ruby quartz he uses rather than affecting change to the injury. While wearing his visor, Cyclops has bad peripheral vision.
