Okay, ita's conversation with the guy at krav made me laugh until tears came streaming down my face.
Don't I get a cookie?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Just read IC #6.
Huh. Wow. Huh.
That's all for now.

Dude thinks Scott Summers is a better hand-to-hand combatant than Ororo? She took Lady WolverineCallisto out in a knife fight!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Sigh. I have this FEELING that my day is going to go "work, work, make grocery list while waiting for husband to get home, send husband out for comics and groceries, wait with NO patience whatsoever for the damn books."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If it comes down to hand to hand with Scott, yeah, he's lost by definition. However, dude has distance powers, she's got nothing but her brain...Goblin Queen can kiss my ass. For a comic I loved, they've got some horrific retcons.

Dude didn't use his distance powers, since the terms of the fight were "no powers." (A moot point now anyway, and since neither of them is invulnerable it's down to who gets the first accurate shot in...)
Madelyne Pryor can make my head hurt like few other comic characters. It's as if, when they wrote her backstory, the printer's ink was made from concentrated crap.

Really? I had recalled her out-manouvering him so that he couldn't use them.
I'll have to look that up.

It has been years since I read it, you may be right that he wasn't specifically prohibited from using his eyebeams. Though since those can knock out Colossus, I'd hate to think what anything more than the most carefully dampened-down shot would do to someone with normal resilience.

I checked -- she was unpowered due to the whole Forge thing, he was able to use his powers. IIRC, they were in an urban landscape, and he started out using them against the surroundings to deter her. Then she did some crafty stuff, and snuck up on him and kicked his ass.
He's got very precise aim and control. I've never gotten the impression he couldn't pull a punch with the best of them. And it's not like he normally fights to kill, or only fights against people with increased resistance.
She wasn't expected to win. That says something.
