I'm in with what I think is the first cover showing Superman using his heat vision as a weapon. Tom Brevoort goes into detail on this issue here.

Back in the day John Buscema did a handful of X-Men covers; here's one of those covers, featuring a powerful face-off between Cyke and Pietro.

My eyes are always jewels
My body clad in lamé and charms
Going through life is to
Try get a chance!
Because I have it here, I have strong dreams

Let's drive out the rivals
Filling the daytime
Instead of a smile or lips
An eyebeam is my special weapon
