Among the most vile and brutal weapons known to man, Eye Beams (or what we called in the 60's "Lasers") are, in fact, banned in most countries. However, because of their versatility in that they can cut, weld, and even blast depending on what the plot requires, they are often employed by superheroes. These specialized forms of laser beams are essentially what you would expect them to be - beams of intensely destructive energy that fly in a linear fashion out of eyeballs. Some have said that the sound that accompanies eye beams ("Beeeeeeoooooooow!") is the most chilling sound in the world. They were invented in the 13th century in order to countermand practitioners of the evil eye, which is a marvellously ironic idea if you really think about it.

  • A Stock Super Powers (and also a classic Super Robot weapon) that allows characters to shoot blasts out of their eyes. Blasts of what, you ask? Sometimes the generic, all-encompassing term of "energy." Sometimes "heat," in which case it is known Heat Vision. Sometimes "lasers," in which case it is known as Laser Vision. The point is, they hurt. These are the real Glowing Eyes of Doom. This is the stock power of the Mecha-Mooks and those with powers beyond mortal ken. Also, a stock joke about "laser eye surgery" fad, or a type of girder (I-beams). Examples of Eye Beams include:

(Seldom is it explained how a beam which can burn or injure just about anything else is contained when trapped behind the character's eyelids, but let's not think about that....) Compare X-Ray Vision, Evil Eye, Breath Weapon, and Hand Blast. Often The Glasses Come Off for this. A favorite attack for the Oculothorax. Examples of Eye Beams include:
