The Beast vs. Cyclops

Description

9 out of 10 times, this is exactly how I predict any one-on-one battle between Hank McCoy and Scott Summers ending…. with Scott trussed up like a Christmas turkey inside of a minute.  

The nature of Cyclops' optic beams gives him a major tactical flaw: he can only shoot objects that he is looking directly at and he can only shoot an object while his entire head is turned in the direction of that object (of course, this doesn't really apply to his current, out-of-control eye beams).  So, all that would be required to defeat Cyclops is to have someone smarter, faster, more agile and physically stronger than Mr. Summers.  Hank McCoy fulfills all of those requirements.  Of course, Scott possesses an amazing tactical mind, so he would be more and more difficult to outsmart as time goes on, but if the kid gloves ever came off, I see Beast being able to take out Cyclops without too much effort most of the time.  

Anyways, drawn in pencil on Bristol board and inked/colored in Photoshop.

Outmuscled. Course, it would be interesting to see the Beast take on someone his own size & strength.
