Unfortunately, you picked the only member of the x-men who turned out to be a goddess and not a mutant (can't remember what story arc). How disturbing.
All the other mutants destroy evolution the same way.
For example, can you imagine the leap required to be able to blast lasers powerful enough to destroy buildings out of your eyes? That's no incremental step, that's skipping at least a couple hundred million years of evolution in a single generation.
I can't even imagine how long it would take evolution to produce nuclear fission and lasing chambers in a biological organism. Or what functional mutations it would have to build on to get there.
Supposedly he's pulling the energy out from some other dimension or something, rather than producing it in his own body. That's the latest hand-waving explanation, anyways; originally, Cyclops' powers were supposed to be powered by photosynthesis in his body! Clearly the early writers were rather over-optimistic about solar power...
