A-power: Optic Beam/Optic Blast/Legend Blast: ranged attack that does 
energy damage; can weld metal; higher levels have Piercing capability, 
allowing Cyclops to shoot multiple enemies in a line or shoot through walls

B-power: Optic Sweep/Optic Slam/Legend Slam: ranged attack that does energy 
damage to multiple targets in an arc in front of Cyclops, also knocks 
enemies back and causes a fair amount of Destruction

X-power: Tactics/Strategy/Command: Cyclops' leadership abilities add to his 
or the team's Strike and Agility scores

Y-power: Optic Rage--an extremely powerful version of Optic Sweep

Cyclops isn't really built for melee fighting. He has no melee skills 
except Critical Strike. His Tactics power can't even be purchased until 
level five, and isn't hugely useful until level 9, when you can get Tactics 
3 and receive +6 to Strike and Agility.

Since he is so weak at melee, you'll want to concentrate on powering up his 
ranged attacks. He's dependant on mutant energy, so pour stat points into 
Focus until you've gotten that stat into the 20s; you can then spare a few 
stat points to beef up his health (Body).

Max out Optic Beam to Legend Blast and Tactics to Command 3 for an insta-
buff to all X-Men. You'll also need levels in Tactics for the Weapon X Part 
Deux mission. A few levels of Optic Sweep can be effective for crowd 
control and for taking out energy saps.

Level up Cyclops' Leadership, Accuracy and Point Blank Shot skills as soon 
as possible. You may also want a point or two in Mutant Mastery. Ignore 
Critical Strike and Toughness. Optic Rage is nice, but not as useful as 
those Xtreme powers that have 360-degree radial effect (Optic Rage only 
works in a 90-degree arc in front of Cyclops).

With his weak melee skills and the limited usefulness of his ranged attack 
early (before he has enough Focus to keep up the blasting), Cyclops is not 
a good choice for your team until the early teen levels. Afterwards, he 
will probably become a mainstay as his Optic Beam has the longest range of 
any mutant attack in X-Men Legends and Leadership will have a significant 
effect on your team.
