Scott Summers is a high-school senior, the one the others all look up to,
especially since he was Xavier's original recruit.
He is confident and good-natured, although some people might get the
idea that he's a little aloof . Scott is good at sports, and especially
excels at basketball and soccer. He is originally from St. Louis, and has
that standard American non-accent.
Although Scott is generally a happy, upbeat guy, he's also a guy who carries
a certain amount of baggage. He is an orphan, and was separated from his
brother at an early age. Add to that these crazy eye beams that he can't
control, and you can see that his life hasn't handed him the best hand.
Nevertheless, there's not a morose bone in his body. He likes the other kids
at Xavier's, and sees it as his job to help the Professor train the others
to use their powers responsibly. Scott has "eye problems," for which he is
always wearing red shades. The other kids at Bayville High think he wears
them for protection, but he's really wearing them for theirs, because...
Scott Summers is Cyclops, a mutant whose eyes project devastating force
beams. These beams cannot be controlled, merely aimed, so Scott is forever
in fear of unleashing their power and causing untold destruction. (Note:
These are force beams, not heat beams!) Having such power is a huge burden
on Scott; if he just could have one wish, it would be to become a normal
person with normal eyes. Sadly, such will never be the case.
As the X-Men find themselves forming into a team, big brother Scott will
naturally take charge. He is a natural leader, yet a young leader. Over the
course of our series he will become increasingly comfortable with this role,
growing in confidence and maturity. In the field, Scott worries about the
other X-Men because they are, well, kids! He hates finding them in danger,
yet learns to respect them and rely on them. Each proves invaluable, each of
them brings something to the party that makes them vital to the team.
