;Fist; SWEEPING BLAST: Give Cyclops a power action. Choose both a horizontal and vertical direct line of fire. Make a range attack using Improved Targeting: Ignores Characters targeting all opposing characters within 5 squares and line of fire that occupy squares in or between the chosen lines. Hit characters are dealt 1 penetrating damage instead of normal damage.


Which would this be the correct number of targets for Cyclop's SWEEPING BLAST?

In the above diagrams, Option A seems to depict squares filled with characters.

Can this power be used if Cyclops is adjacent to opposing characters?

No. The previous diagram showed how to determine who would be a target. In order to make a ranged attack, the attacker can't be adjacent to an opposing character unless they can use an effect that allows otherwise (which Cyclops does not normally have).
