Why the hell can magneto block cyclops's optic blasts. It's not like he's shooting metal out of his eyes :mad: :mad::mad::mad::mad:

The dude shoots lasers from his eyes. You're ok with that but you're not ok with this?

Trying to find logic in a story where a guy shoots lasers from his eyes?

Makes sense to me.

The magnetic field is so strong it can bend the photons of cyclops laser blasts.

Common type of containment for plasma in a fusion reactor is a toroidal magnetic containment field. High energy photons also carry a charge, hence can interact with a magnetic field.

You're just mad because you have a shitty mutant power, like Beak or Jubilee.

Hey Jubilee was awesome, she should have never been on that list. How could you not want to be able to shoot fireworks out of your hands?

Well, then Magneto would be able to control all matter, not just metal, if he had that kind of power. But nope, he just lifts and controls metal.

It doesn't make sense!

His optic blasts aren't light. They don't heat up objects they hit, instead they have a concussive force.

Magneto can't control metal. He controls magnetic fields. That's why he's called Magneto. :p

In the real world, magnetic fields are used for all kinds of things including 'force field' like barriers. Sometimes it's even used to condense and suspend plasma in the air. Fun stuff, magnetic fields.

Mystique and Nightcrawler aren't even from the same continent and are the same age, basically.

Magneto is hacking. Optics can refer to infrared or ultraviolet, I'm not sure but I don't think either affects magnetism.
