Cyclops - 4 The Thing - 0 *** Completely sideline thought...remember that the challenge is about popular vote and not if they fought...but in this case, I really like this match up...which guy do you see winning in a fight (again unrelated to the challenge!)...say in a first man down rather than death match, in an empty big city setting...just the two of them and lots of city...they both have tracking beacons so you could run but the other would be able to find you easy. Which guy takes it?  I think Cyclops would win, simply due to the fact that his optic blast can travel long distances. Thing is a melee fighter, so the advantage goes to Cyclops. Sure, Thing could just jump and leap over to Cyclops, or maybe throw cars at him, but Cyclops can stop him before that even happens. Thing would need to use guerrilla tactics and ambush Cyclops in a clutter of buildings, thereby making it a close-ranged fight. Still, nothing would be able to stop Cyclops from using his optic blast. Thing could try and cover Cyclops's eyes, but he can just burn right through his hand. Thing would need to stream together a constant barrage of melee attacks and make sure Cyclops is too off-balance to use his beam. But hey, this is Cyclops. I seriously doubt he would be dumb enough to let Thing bait him into a trap. Cyclops would probably just level all the buildings around him with his optic blast, and Thing can't sneak up behind him because his footsteps would be too loud. I dunno, Cyclops wins it for me. |

CYCLOPS!!!
Completely sideline thought...remember that the challenge is about popular vote and not if they fought...but in this case, I really like this match up...which guy do you see winning in a fight (again unrelated to the challenge!)...say in a first man down rather than death match, in an empty big city setting...just the two of them and lots of city...they both have tracking beacons so you could run but the other would be able to find you easy. Which guy takes it? No I meant this one lol I thing the Thing being able to fight toe to toe with Hulk and anyone else face to face, having shown his clever ways of closing distance, etc. he has history of dealing with long range guys and still gets them. Granted, much of this was writers favor. I am a big fan of cyclops, actually more than the thing truth be told, but I still like Ben's chances. Thing can take a building falling on him, Cyclops can not. A great match up IMO that is why I brought it up |

I think that Thing would win in a fight for the same reasons Rel stated, writer's favor or not.

To tell you the truth, I don't know much about either hero, so oh well  I did read up on Cyclops earlier, though, and apparently he can bounce his beams off walls. Don't know if that's true or not, but it could be helpful in a close-range fight. |

I can not imagine not knowing the basics of comic books like who the Thing and Cyclops are and what they do. And no this is not an insult, it is clear that comic books are not your thing...but did you not see the movies? It is just very curious to me that is all...very curious indeed...  |

I've seen the movies, but movies only tell me so much  I know the basics, but I don't know everything else about them. As far as comics go, I used to read a lot of them, but they were all about DC heroes. |

Again, no insult! I read a bunch of DC myself! Legion of Super Heroes, Justice League, Swamp Thing, Phantom Stranger, and so many others...there is much to love in the DC universe, which is why many MANY of the Marvel supers are direct mirrors of their DC older brothers and sisters! |
