Biography
As a child, Scott Summers and his brother were orphaned after a plane crash killed their parents. Scott and his brother had jumped out of the plane in, but when the plane exploded it had caused damage to their parachutes causing them to fall. Scott hit his head in the incident and was in a for some time, but when he recovered he discovered his ability to shoot beams from his eyes. He had to wear sunglasses to control his power, otherwise causing massive destruction. Scott was unaware that his brother Alex had survived the crash and was adopted by foster parents, and would not know that until some years later.

Joining the X-Men
Some time later he was found by and taken to  where he was taught how to control his powers. He became the leader of the X-Men as a teenager and fought to protect humans who were afraid of them from evil mutants and 's. He fell in love with fellow X-Man.

He saved Toad from, a high school bully who later hated mutants. He was later thanked by Toad, who he had wanted to join the X-Men.

He arrived at the mansion while Toad and a new student named had accidentally ended up in the. Scott had met Nightcrawler earlier when he arrived who was demonic in appearance. Nightcrawler was welcomed by Scott to join the X-Men.

Scott was ordered to help get the two out of Danger Room. After doing this, Scott was disappointed to see Toad leave, but was happy to see Nightcrawler join the ranks of the X-Men.

He and Nightcrawler followed Wolverine to assist him in his battle with Sabertooth. Nightcrawler insisted on taking Scott's car, to which Scott agreed. Scott went with Kurt and watched Wolverine struggle to beat Sabertooth.

The two briefly assisted, but, Sabertooth escaped. Instead of being thanked for helping him, the two were warned not to follow him ever again. Nightcrawler told Scott that Wolverine liked them, to which, Scott answered sarcastically. He and the others watched Wolverine in the Danger Room. They watched him dodge numerous attacks and take significant damage as well. When Kitty asked if anyone besides her was surprised by all of the things going on in the mansion, Scott along with the others did not respond.

When the team went to go after Rogue, Mystique took on his form and attackedRogue. After Rogue ran away from the X-Men, Scott went home with the others. He became protective of Jean when she met a mutant named Blob. Blob had mistaken him for laughing at him in the cafeteria when he was really laughing with Kurt about being assigned partners with Rogue, whom was previously under the implication that Scott, Jean, Kitty, Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler were trying to kill her last time they saw her outside of school. When Blob almost threw a chair at Jean in both anger and confusion, Scott opted to blast him in defense of Jean. When Jean was captured by Blob and Nightcrawler informed him of this, Scott reacted in anger, slamming his fist on the table in which he and Rogue were sitting on. He then asked Rogue if she knew anything of what had happened. She responded rudely, to which Scott told her he hoped she could live with her conscience.

When Scott arrived to confront Blob, he noticed Blob had already apprehended Wolverine. This did not stop him from blasting Blob several times before Wolverine's unconscious body was thrown at him, knocking the two into Wolverine's motorcycle.

The situation was handled by Rogue, whom had taken a short dosage of Scott's powers. This proved to him that there was good in Rogue. When Storm's nephew Spyke developed powers, Scott and Jean went to talk to him. Spyke made fun of Scott's shades, not knowing they kept his powers in check. After Spyke was arrested, he continued to try to recruit Spyke into the X-Men, promising that he would be released. Spyke shook his hand and went back to the mansion with Scott and Jean. After Spyke confronted Quicksilver about damaging the lockers that he was blamed for, Scott and Jean watched as Spyke captured Quicksilver and got him to admit that he was the one who damaged the lockers. He talked to Jean, Kitty, Spyke and Kurt about Duncan Matthew's party. He, unlike the others, did not want to go to the party, seeing it as a place the five mutants could get exposed. After Kurt disappeared, Scott went with Jean, Kitty and Spyke to find him. They briefly captured Toad, but, had to let him go in order to find out what Rogue knew of Kurt's disappearance. When the X-Men and Rogue went to the place Kurt disappeared at, they were attacked by the Brotherhood of Mutants. He and Jean fought Blob, after the fight they succeeded in bringing Kurt back home, along with another mutant named Forge. Scott offered Forge a ride, but, he objected to it. Scott warmed up to the idea of a party after this and told his friends he would take them. He and Jean assured Kitty that they would find a way to get her into the party. Scott and some of his fellow X-Men partook in a training exercise. Scott and the others came close to victory until Scott held back when he was seen and touched by a simulation of Rogue. When Scott got to school, he talked to Jean about the simulation. Mystique used this as more evidence that the X-Men did not want Rogue to join. When Jean's place was taken on the school field trip, Scott was stuck with Rogue. Despite their differences, the two managed to get along, racing each other while in the snow storm. Scott was confronted by Rogue over the simulation of her that she was told by Mystique that he used. Scott tried to convince her that he and the other X-Men did not want to hurt her. The two were spied on by Mystique, who decided to push Scott off of a cliff. Scott was saved by Rogue. Scott's powers were used by Rogue for the second time to alert Professor X and Wolverine where the two were. Scott and Rogue were found and saved, Rogue joined Scott and the X-Men after that. Scott and the others chose to confront Professor X over not telling them that principal Darkhome was really Mystique. Scott encouraged Rogue to speak about this along with the other young X-Men.

He and the other X-Men came to Spyke's rescue when he, Rogue and Kitty were attacked by Sabertooth, who was busy fighting Wolverine. Scott was later featured in Spyke's video that he turned in for class.

Scott, Jean, Kitty, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Spyke did several exercising courses against the Brotherhood. Scott got into several arguments, most of which involved name calling and petty bets, with Avalanche. Scott and the rest of his team teamed up with the Brotherhood, surprisingly willingly, to save both Professor X and Mystique from Juggernaut, Professor X's brother. The ten used their combined powers to take off the Juggernaut's helmet.

When Rogue started to have nightmares, Scott was called in along with the other X-Men. He was later sent back to bed by Professor X. What no one knew at the time, was that Nightcrawler was the child in Rogue's dreams. He and the other X-Men came to Nightcrawler's aid after he was ganged up on by the Brotherhood.

Kitty wrote about him in her letter to her parents, along with the other X-Men.

Magneto
He eventually reunited with his brother thanks to Magneto. The two went to where Cyclops met up with Professor X, who was taken from the mansion by Magneto. His powers were enhanced so that he could control his powers without glasses. But, he gave up the powers after Jean told him she didn't want to be involved in this "new world" Magneto promised. He and his brother destroyed Asteroid M, stopping it from crushing and killing both the X-Men and Brotherhood. He later apologized to everyone on board the Blackbird.

New Recruits
Scott watched Jean's soccer game, along with Kurt and Kitty. While in the car with the two, Scott assisted them in stopping a car, thereby displaying his powers, something Professor X was not happy about. When Scott, Kurt and Kitty got to the mansion, they were questioned. Scott told Xavier that he believed using his powers was reasonable because it helped save a life. Professor X told him that the world was still not ready to know of mutants. When Scott got to school, Avalanche tried to bait him into using his powers. Kitty talked him out of it, the two walked away from the Brotherhood. When the Brotherhood chose to announce they're powers, Scott and the other X-Men stopped them from getting the secret of mutant powers out. Scott and the other X-Men watched Jean deliver a speech to the school. However, Jean had several headaches due to her hearing all of the thoughts of the people in the area. Jean soon lost control of her powers. Of all the X-Men, Scott reacted the worst to this, taking rash actions before being calmed down by Rogue. As Scott and some of the other X-Men confronted Jean, she began to have mental link connections with Rogue. Jean's voice through Rogue's body called Scott's name. After Jean was saved, Scott thanked Rogue for helping to save her. Scott was doing a training exercise with Wolverine, Kurt and the New Mutants. He alerted Kurt, who for the exercise was morally wounded, that Boom Boom was going to come and save him. He and Kurt later talked about going to a carnival. Kurt asked Scott if he had a date, he looked at Jean, who was with Duncan, and told him he didn't. He went to the carnival with one of Jean's friends. He noticed Kurt, after he teleported to the carnival, with Boom Boom. Scott's date was interrupted by Kurt. He went with Nightcrawler, Jean and Spyke to fight the Brotherhood and get back the bag of money that Boom Boom's dad had. After her dad escaped with it, Scott was going to go after him, but, Boom Boom told him she would instead. Boom Boom left the X-Men. He came to Kurt later and asked him how much punishment he had to do.

Scott and Jean were tricked into going on a ride together and being stranded by the younger X-Men. Jean first blamed Scott for the car not starting up. The two managed to get back to the mansion. Scott and Jean took control when they got back to the mansion and stopped a boy calling himself Arcade, from using the Danger Room.

Scott was in the room when Hank McCoy, now in a blue hairy form, had Xavier announce that he was joining the X-Men as a teacher and would like to go by the name Beast.

Scott was surprised by Lance when he came to the mansion at night requesting to join the X-Men. While Avalanche was questioned by Cyclops, asking him what he wanted, insinuating he didn't come to the mansion to make jokes. After Lance was accepted by Xavier, Scott tried to be nice to him, telling him his X-Men uniform was better than his other costume. Lance took this as an insult, impressed the other New Mutants, even Kitty as well, making Scott feel inferior. Scott got mad at Avalanche when he found his car, muddy and dirty. After the New Mutants took the Blackbird, Scott accused him of taking it. Scott apologized to him before he decided to leave the X-Men and rejoin the Brotherhood.

Scott's attitude towards women, was one that triggered Jean to start a female group of mutants called the Bayville Sirens.

Mesmero
When Jean was taken under the control of Mesmero, Scott and the others looked for her. One night, Scott saw her and tried to convince her to come to her senses. However, all his pleading did was make her knock him out telepathically and put him back in his bed. He, Rogue, Beast and Wolverine all fought against the mind controlled Kitty, Nightcrawler, Spyke and Jean. As Scott helped Rogue with fighting Spyke, Jean telepathically hovered Scott in the air and took of his visor so that he would shoot randomly and uncontrollably. When Jean was saved, Scott and the others went home.

Scarlet Witch
Scott and the other young X-Men were called upon by Professor X to fight the Brotherhood's newest member, Scarlet Witch. Scott and his team infiltrated the mall the five Brotherhood members supposedly were in, only to be attacked individually. He was attacked by the only Brotherhood member he ever saved, Toad. Toad took his visor, forcing Scott to have to shield his eyes. Luckily, Rogue was near the two and defeated Toad rather easily. She gave Scott back his visor. Scott and Rogue regrouped with the other X-Men just in time for Wanda to come down the escalator. Wanda used her powers to make Scott's optic blast uncontrollable for him. Jean convinced Scott to retreat. As the young X-Men arrived outside, they saw Professor X, who told them that "handling defeat was as much a mark of you're character as coming home a victor". Scott walked away in shame as he gave the speech.

After their defeat, Professor X started training the team heavily. When he saw how poorly they were doing, he called all of them into the training room. Professor X told them to meet their new teammates, the Brotherhood. When Avalanche told the team they needed a better team leader than the one they already had, Scott quit and left.

Cyclops helped save the when  blew up the. When he saw the remaining X-Men arrive back at the destroyed mansion, Scott picked Xavier out of his chair and threw him to the ground. He watched as Xavier stood up and turned back into Mystique.

Mutants Revealed
Scott was almost captured by police officers, but, was saved by Storm. He told the other X-Men to meet him at Lookout point. He was almost shot by Bobby by mistake when he arrived, before he told him it was just him and Storm. When Mystique showed up, Scott demanded answers. She told him she would give them when she was ready. He and the others succeeded in rescuing the other mutants. When he asked Mystique, while she was escaping, where Professor X was, she did not tell him and ordered him to get out of her way. Angry, Scott stopped her from escaping by trapping her in the base. After the X-Men were reunited with each other, they were left wondering what they were going to do in a world without mutants.

On the Run
Scott and some of the other kid X-Men watched Storm and Beast together on TV, debating several politicians. When Wolverine and Rogue arrived, the whole team was found out and were forced to get involved with the police choppers. Scott chose to have the X-Men run, feeling this was what needed to be done. He and the others decided to stop Juggernaut from destroying a dam. He fought Juggernaut solo for a while, his optic blast against Juggernaut's brute strength. After Scott lost, the other X-Men got involved. After Juggernaut was defeated, Professor X was found by the X-Men and mutants were looked at in a positive light since their discovery.

Scott and the others were invited back to school. Scott was pushed into the middle of a break up between Duncan and Jean when she broke up with him and grabbed Scott's hand. She apologized to him for involving him in their business. Scott was attacked by Duncan and a few other bullies. They took his glasses and tried to get him to use his powers. Scott refused and decided to fight them blindly. He was joined in this by Kitty and Rogue. Before they could start fighting, however, Duncan blew them off and insisted they wouldn't last that long at school. As Jean delivered a speech, Scott, Spyke, Kitty and Nightcrawler fought Duncan, Lance, Blob and Toad. Duncan threw himself at Scott while Lance shook the ground. Scott managed to beat Duncan and prove once again that not all mutants were bad.

Encounter with Mystique
Scott got a call from his brother, informing him that he needed his help. Scott told him he would be right over. However, this was really Mystique, posing as Alex. Scott ended up stranded in a desert, without his glasses. He was detected by Cerebro. Scott ended up in a hospital, where a doctor tried to inspect his eyes. Scott told him not to, but, the doctor and several assistants forced Scott to, causing a huge blast through the top of the building. After he got out of the hospital, Mystique directly confronted him, trying to get revenge on him for getting her captured. He was saved by Jean, this started a romantic relationship between the two.

Spyke's departure and Shadowcat's terrible driving
Scott had been purposely avoiding fellow X-Man, Shadowcat because he didn't want her to drive his car or be in the car when she drive. Unfortunately for him, Jean forced him to ride with Kitty and he proclaimed he never wanted to ride anothe car for as long as I live. He and Jean looked for Spyke, who's mutant powers were getting uncontrollable, promising his aunt Storm that they would find him and bring him home. After Spyke decided to stay with the Morlocks, Scott and the others went home.

Rogue's Powers
Scott played tennis with Rogue the same day her powers went out of control after absorbing so many mutant's powers. She used Mystique's shapeshifting to turn into Scott and shoot him with his own optic blast. After she was saved, he asked Professor X if she was going to be okay.

While on a cruise together, Scott and Jean flirted with each other. The two and several other vacationing X-Men stopped a volcano.

Mesmero Returns
Scott's powers were absorbed by a mind controlled Rogue. Scott talked to Jean about their graduation. The two were warned by principal Kelly that he didn't want to see any mutant powers at the ceremony. Scott told him to just have their diplomas ready. At his graduation, Scott noticed Magneto and his Acolytes coming. He wrote this off as trouble. Scott went with the others to find Rogue and was beaten, along with the X-Men and Acolytes, effortlessly by Apocalypse.

He and the other X-Men tried to take down one of the domes Apocalypse placed around the world. He watched Magneto get killed by Mesmero when he tried to damage the dome Scott and the other X-Men were next to.

Teaching
Scott and Jean tried teaching some of the New Mutants. However, before Scott and Jean could even enter the room, Scott was hit by one of his students, he brought up when she told him to trust her. However, when Iceman objected to learning, reason being that he thought the team had already learned everything they needed to and the class was a waste, Jean levitated all of the kids and Scott shoot his optic blast, to which it deflected across the room and cut an apple for him. Scott impressed the kids with his control and understanding of his powers.

Xavier's son
Scott and Jean were called on by Xavier for a mission to find his son, David, who had gone missing. He meet Gabby, Xavier's wife he married briefly. As Scott and Jean were in David's room, Scott told Jean to remind him never to go missing, citing he would never want complete strangers going through his things like they were doing. Jean asked him if he had something to hide. Before he could answer, Jean spotted a little boy. Gabby told the two the boy's name is Ian and David found him on the streets. After Jean was captured, Scott went to a castle looking for her. When Scott himself was captured, Jean and David came and freed him. After David was lost by Xavier, Scott returned to the mansion with Jean, Storm and rather depressed Xavier.

Apocalypse
Scott and the other X-Men watched Professor X and Storm fight Apocalypse. When they were seemingly killed, Scott comforted Jean, who started to cry. Professor X and Storm, along with Magneto and Mystique, became the Horsemen of Apocalypse, with their powers greatly increased.

He was in Xavier's vision of the future X-Men, along with Iceman, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, X-23, Colossus and Storm.

Powers and Abilities
Scott has the ability to shoot energy beams from his eyes. They can only be controlled with ruby quarts.

Personality
Out of the original six young X-Men, Scott was the most mature and militant, either from being the oldest or the original recruit. He joked around a couple of times, mostly with Kurt, but, most of the time, he acted in a straightforward manner. This caused several confrontations with other X-Men, most notably Nightcrawler, who was the polar opposite of his teammate. Scott was a little more forgiving than Xavier, usually dealing with bad news or bad behavior with trying to relate to or talk to in a calm way to the person he was with.

Jean Grey
Cyclops had known Jean for an unspecified time, longer than the other young X-Men. The two had been friends for a few years, Jean chose Duncan Matthews over him.

She decided to still stay close friends with him. Scott showed more anger than any of the other X-Men when Jean was captured by Blob. Their relationship started to really change after mutants were revealed to the public.

They both started to have deeper feelings, but, neither wanted to confess it until the other. When Scott was almost killed by Mystique and saved by Jean, Jean told Scott the two had a special link to each other. With this revelation, the two began a romantic relationship.

Background
Cyclops was voiced by Kirby Morrow.
