Recall from long ago and far away that Cyclops' power doesn't affect his brother, Havoc, and vice versa.  Stands to reason his force beams don't directly affect him either.  This might also "explain" why despite hundreds of years of acceptance of Newtonian physics, he doesn't get blown backward everytime he uses his powers, either.

Hey, maybe that whole "tiny portals to another dimension" thing might make sense after all...naaaah.  Just keep saying over and over, "it's only a comic book, it's only a comic book...".
