Although X-Men leader Cyclops doesn't get much screen time in the movies, he has one of the coolest mutant powers: force beams from his eyes, held in check by a special ruby visor.
One particularly adventurous YouTuber decided to attempt to replicate that super power by creating his own Cyclops-style visor that shoots flames instead of red force beams. The result? A very dangerous looking but nonetheless amazing display of mechanics-assisted mutant power.
The YouTuber, operating under the name Sufficiently Advanced, used a mix of acetone, methanol and strontium chloride, as well as red tiki torch fuel, both delivered through a peristaltic pump triggered by a mechanism on the side of the helmet, mimicking the look of Cyclops when he delivers his beams of energy.
The twin shafts of fire that shoot from the helmet are amazingly accurate, allowing the user to draw lines of fire on walls and pavement. Of course, this is so risky we don’t advise ever trying to make one of these yourself. But hopefully, this video will satisfy you until geneticists manage to give us real mutant eye beam powers.
