Cyclops, Vol. 1 #3A (2001)

Odyssey, Chapter 3: In the Kingdom of the Blind
Cyclops rescues a red-headed girl called Kendra from some bat-like creatures. He fights them but is about to be overwhelmed when the girl’s tribe comes to the rescue by deafening the creatures. They knock Cyclops out and take him to their village. He finds out that they are all blind thanks to a monster called Visigon. They tell him the only way that he will be able to leave is if he destroys the monster. He decides to do it but not use his optic blasts as he doesn’t want to loose his sight. He confronts the visigon and after holding his own for a short while he gets caught in its tentacles. Kendra diverts the visigon’s attention but gets knocked out in the process. Cyclops decides enough is enough and fires an opic blast at the creature, killing it. The tribe’s eyesight is restored and they help him leave the Savage Land via a portal.
