Codeword: Pirates
Full Name: Scott Summers
Nicknames: N/A
Codename: Cyclops
Age: 28
DoB: October 13, 1978
Origins: Anchorage, Alaska
Orientation: Straight
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue or glowing red
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 175lbs
Physical Affects of Mutation?: Eyes glow red
Personality: Scott is very reserved and rather cynical, two traits which he’s developed as a result of his past and his mutation. He is not quick to trust, but is extremely loyal to those whom he does. He struggles for indifferent objectivity, but if pushed past his limits he can unleash quite a temper.
Appearance: Actor/James Marsden
Clothing Style: Sophisticated, very GQ. Slacks and polos or jeans and a nice shirt, rarely ever seen in shorts unless he's going swimming.
::Battle Uniform::
Color: Black leather
Style: Jumpsuit
Patterns/Markings: Think X-Men movie uniform
Boots and/or Gloves?: See above
Relations: Philip Summers (grandfather), Deborah Summers (grandmother), Christopher Summers (Corsair, father), Katherine Anne Summers (mother, deceased), Alexander Summers (Havok, brother), Gabriel Summers (Vulcan, brother)
Weaknesses: Due to a head injury suffered as he and his brother parachuted from the family's plane in Alaska, Cyclops is unable to shut off his optic blasts at will and must therefore wear ruby quartz lenses to block the beams.
Jean (can she be a weakness?). Scott is so thoroughly in love with her that he would do anything to protect her, even if it put his life in danger. He would do anything for her and that is why he has separated himself from her and Xavier’s.
Powers: Optic blasts, which manifest as heatless blasts of concussive force. Scott’s body absorbs solar energy or sunlight, which it stores and then metabolizes in the form of ruby colored optic blasts. At full power, the blasts are the equivalent of 10 kilotons of TNT. As a child, Scott suffered from brain damage, which rendered him incapable of controlling his mutant power. He cannot turn his optic blasts off. The injury he sustained also causes him to suffer from headaches, which range from mild annoyances to severe migraines. Due to the nature of his mutation, Scott does not sunburn and rarely sweats solely from the sun’s heat.
Affiliation: X-Men
Skills: Hand to hand combat
Interests: Math and history/He’s a voracious reader; it’s part of how he survived his traumatic childhood. He’ll pretty much try anything, but prefers Science Fiction/Fantasy, psychological thrillers, and Science/Natural Science Non-Fiction. When it comes to mechanics and around the mansion upkeep, Scott is a “jack of all trades, master of none.” He can do most of the small, everyday repairs and maintenance, but there are times when it’s best left to the experts.
Bio/History: Born to Christopher and Katherine Anne, Scott Summers is the older brother of Alexander. During a flight back from Anchorage after a family vacation, the family witnessed a Shi’ar Imperial freighter materialize above their family's plane. The Shi’ar wanted no witnesses, so the plane was set on fire. With only one parachute left, Kate Summers strapped Scott into it and tied Alex to him. She and Chris said their final goodbyes to their children and pushed them out the plane door. The parents were teleported from the plane a moment before it exploded and were transported to the Shi’ar craft where they were kept as Earth specimen. The explosion of the plane set the Summers brothers' parachute on fire. During the fall, Scott used his optic blasts for the first time to slow their descent and shielded Alex from their landing with his body. Though surviving, Scott hit his head in the crash. This injury caused a slight amount of brain damage, affecting the portion of his brain that controlled his latent optic blasts. Alex and Scott were brought to an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska, secretly run by Mr. Sinister, who had registered Scott manifesting his mutant power. Sinister believed that Scott was the Summers brother with the most potential, so he had Alex adopted away from the orphanage to both separate them and render Scott emotionally vulnerable.
Mr. Sinister played many roles in Scott‘s life. As Michael Milbury, he was the head of the orphanage. As Nathan Masters, he was the chief doctor. As Lefty or Nate, he was a fellow orphan. Sinister understood that Scott's recurring headaches were caused by his emerging mutant powers and, through trial and error, would find that ruby quartz glasses helped ease his headaches. Sinister tormented Scott as Lefty and even killed his potential foster parents before they could adopt him. When Scott befriended new doctor, Robyn Hanover, who was able to reach the boy thanks to his admiration for planes and pilots, Sinister brainwashed her. From that day on, she acted as cold as the rest of the orphanage staff.
Mr. Sinister failed in breaking Scott, however, because Scott eventually ran away from the orphanage. A stray blast of his power accidentally blasted a steel girder off a construction site, causing it to plummet towards a crowd below. However, with a second blast, Scott shattered the girder before anybody was hurt. Unfortunately, the incident was filmed and the crowd perceived Scott as a menace, so he ran away. When the police found him, they recognized him as the kid who was missing from the orphanage. The policemen made Scott take off his glasses, thus unleashing his blast, and Scott could run away once more. He felt himself strangely drawn to a cabin where he was welcomed by a man called Jack O’Diamonds. He had sent a summons call to fellow mutants and needed the boy to break into the nuclear power plant that had originally brought forth his many abilities. Once there, Scott fought off the guards, but only because he knew that the villain would kill them if he couldn’t stop them before. Fortunately, Xavier arrived, as he saw the video footage of the incident at the construction site and used his mutant detection system to learn of their location. In battle against Xavier, O’Diamonds tried to absorb more and more nuclear radiation to the point where he overtaxed himself and was atomized. Xavier took in the boy and explained to him his dream of building a team of mutant operatives, fighting for peaceful coexistence. Scott agreed to join and became the first official X-Man under the codename Cyclops. Xavier also provided his costume with a visor made of ruby quartz that could keep his dangerous power at bay.
Scott eventually fell in love with another student, Jean Grey, but due to his insecurities he pushed her away and left town without notice. He ended up in NYC and enrolled in the local college, receiving his degree in Math and History. Once he graduated he returned to Bayville to find that Jean had left town, leaving him a note with her contact information. Too angry with himself he never called and now he lives in an apartment in Bayville and keeps to himself.
*Example Post: (When Scott finds out the Jean is back in town)
Scott needed some food, his fridge was completely bare and the last two days he had resorted to eating junk, but it was grossing him out so he decided that he needed to head to the store and stock his apartment. As he pulled up he looked around and saw that the place wasn't too busy, which he was glad for. He hated when people gave him funny looks because of his glasses. You think he would be used to it by now, but no matter who you are to be regarded as a freak is something no one gets used to.
Pushing a cart inside the store he headed for the produce section when he saw a familiar red. Sure he saw red all the time, but this red was something he could and wanted never forget. "Jean," he whispered. She was back in town? When had that happened? Scott watched her walk around the store with a basket and pick out her items. She was going to be baking, he could tell by what she was buying. That was something she was extreemly good at. He remembered all the times she had cooked for him and the thought made him smile. But the smile faded quickly when he realized he was pretty much stalking her right now, so he quickly left and waited in his car until she walked out of the store. He watched her get into an SUV and drive away, leaving him to do his shopping alone. Because that had been his choice, to be alone.
