We have all seen that Cyclops projects a red-coloured beam out of his eyes. What is that red beam. Is it laser or something else?

3No, it is a kinetic force beam from another dimension. It is not hot. More like getting punched really, really hard. – S. Albano Oct 15 '12 at 05:51

1Voting this up, it's not such a bad question that it deserves to be buried. I've often wondered what it is myself, and no one's screaming general reference or dupe... – John O Oct 15 '12 at 15:13

1Nominating this question for re-opening because there's a consensus that there shouldn't be any closure of questions that are marked general reference. – user931 Nov 15 '12 at 07:37

There's an accepted answer and this question was in fact easily answered by a general reference lookup, so why should we reopen it? – Kyle Jones Nov 15 '12 at 17:02

The red beam coming out of Cyclops' eye isn't electromagnetic radiation, so there's no chance of it being LASER.
From official Marvel Universe wiki (See Powers from left column):
Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a beam of heatless ruby-colored concussive force from his eyes, which act as inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another.

7No heat, yet he sometimes has used it to spot-weld things. I love consistency in my comics. – Jeff Oct 15 '12 at 13:06
