Cyclops is a mutant who often leads the X-Men in the field.
Character History[]
Scott Summers was born in Anchorage, Alaska on September 18th. When Scott was a boy growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, his father, USAF Major Christopher Summers, took the family for a flight in their de Havilland Mosquito. It came under attack by an alien Shi'ar spaceship. As the plane went down in flames, Scott's parents fastened him and his younger brother Alex into a parachute and pushed them off the plane, hoping that they would survive. The boys become wards of the state and are separated. When Scott's powers manifest uncontrollably he runs away from the orphanage and wanders before being taken in as ward by Charles Xavier. Xavier provided Scott with a visor made of ruby quartz to help him control his powers in the field.
As Cyclops, Scott became deputy leader of the X-Men and while he was a skilled tactician, Scott's social skills were lacking. He became good friends with Jean Grey, a young telepath who became his closest friend and second in command. For a long while, Scott refused to admit, even to himself, that he had feelings for Jean, afraid he would be hurt again or that his optic blasts would hurt her - or anyone else he cared about. What Scott did not know was that Jean actually had a crush on him too, but was too shy to make a move. Eventually, they revealed their passion for each other and began to date.
As an adult, he continued to search for his brother but was unsuccessful even with the professor using Cerebro. His determination and tactical mind are what made him a great leader of the X-Men for many years.
