Cyclops and Havok immunity to specials.

I love the fact that their specials don't effect each other - this was a really nice aspect of the game and nod to the limits and peculiar aspects of their powers in the comics, but similarly, why do they effect themselves? They're not only immune to each other's abilities but to their own as well.

Uh, not really sure if the comics and the game are accurate to each other

It's a valid point, but I think that may then apply to others as well (Bishop should be able to contain his own energy, etc.) which will then only serve to open up a can of worms. So I think they actually did this one right.

Cyclops and Havok's specials don't do any damage to each other, because they're each immune to the other's powers - it was actually a huge aspect of them discovering they were brothers. It's been long established in the comics, cartoons and other media. Kabam included this in the game and it's a lovely nod to canon.

But Cyclops and Havok have also been established to be immune to their own powers.
Cyclops can't hurt himself with his own abilities, nor can Havok.

That's not actually true though, nor is it established. The opposite has actually been shown many times, Bishop's own power can absolutely hurt him, especially if he stores too much - so Kabam absolutely nailed that aspect of his character.
