I was blind. Blind to how the world worked…and then I met a man who taught me to see——see how things really were. I loved him for it. And because I loved him——because I believed in him…and, in a way worshipped him——I claimed the things that he had faith in as my own. He called it his dream. It was a good one. But the world, you see——the waking world——where we all live… it is a killer of dreams. A destroyer of things you believe in. So when I grew older, I realized it was foolish to… deify him. Honestly, it's unfair to expect that kind of perfection from anyone. After all, we're all flawed and imperfect. There is no real difference between any of us. No matter how much we believe the lie that there is. You see, he wasn't a savior. He was just a man——a mutant——like me. And his dreams——which still make me smile to this day——are no more valid than anyone else's. Including mine. I love the idea of that. The promise of it. So what's my story? I'm a dreamer. I'm an X-Man.
—Cyclops
Scott Summers is a mutant with the ability to fire destructive optic beams from his eyes. As the first X-Man Cyclops, he has ascended from super hero field leader to a mutant revolutionary icon. The firstborn son of Major Chris Summers, Scott and his brother Alex witnessed the apparent murder of their parents by the Shi'ar Emperor D'ken. As an introspective orphan and in the clutches of the nefarious Mister Sinister, his mutant abilities first manifested. After escaping Sinister's orphanage, Summers was rescued by Professor Xavier, a fellow mutant who ran a school aimed at helping mutants to control their uncanny abilities.
As the leader of Xavier's X-Men, a task force with the goal of ensuring peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants, Cyclops guided other mutants in countless missions and adventures, and even became the headmaster of Xavier's School. When mutantkind was on the brink of extinction, Cyclops gradually transformed the X-Men into a more extremist faction to ensure the survival of mutants, even going to war against the Avengers during the coming of the Phoenix to Earth, an event that cost the life of his former mentor Xavier. As a revolutionary leader, Cyclops has become an iconic figure for all of mutantkind, amalgamating aspects of Xavier's dream and Magneto's ideals.

Powers
Cyclops is an Alpha-Mutant according to Apocalypse, while Nick Fury's intelligence classified him as power level 7.[286] Optic Blast: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of unheated[287] concussive ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops' powers come from ambient energies (such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays) absorbed and metabolized by his body into concussive blasts that are released from his eyes. Cyclops' mind has a particular psionic field that is attuned to the forces that maintain the apertures that have taken the place of his eyes. Because his mind's psionic field envelops his body, it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body. Thus, his body is protected from the effects of the particles, and even the thin membrane of his eyelids is sufficient to block the emission of energy. The synthetic ruby quartz crystal used to fashion the lenses of Cyclops' eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected. The width of Cyclops' eye-blasts seems to be focused by his mind's psionic field with the same autonomic function that regulated his original eyes' ability to focus. As Cyclops focuses, the size of the aperture changes and thus act as a valve to control the flow of particles and beam's relative power. The height of Cyclops' eye-blast is controlled by his visor's adjustable slit. His narrowest beam, about the diameter of a pencil at a distance of 4 feet has a force of about two pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of fifty feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam four feet across which, at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of 500 pounds per square inch. The maximum angular measurement of Cyclops' eye-blast is equivalent to a wide-angle 35-millimeter camera lens field of view (90 degrees measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding a magazine's pages spread open, upright at 9.5 inches from your eyes). The minimum angular measurement is equivalent to the angle that the thickness of a pencil would subtend at 4 feet (3.5 degrees, about a quarter of an inch viewed at 4 feet). The beam's effective range is about 2,000 feet, at which point a 1-inch beam has spread out to 10 feet square, and then has a pressure of .38 pounds per square inch. Cyclops' maximum force is sufficient to tip over a filled 5,000-gallon tank at a distance of 20 feet or puncture a 1-inch carbon-steel plate at a distance of 2 feet. The extra dimensional supply of energy for Cyclops' eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops' psionic field is active (which is constant), there is the potential to emit energy. The only limit to the eye-blast is the mental fatigue of focusing constantly. After about 15 minutes of constant usage, the psionic field subsides and allows only a slight leakage of energy to pass through the aperture. Cyclops' metabolism will recover sufficiently for him to continue in about an additional 15 minutes. Wolverine has compared Cyclops's power to "a frickin' nuke inside [his] head".[288] The maximum force of the optic blasts are unknown, but a commonly given description is that Cyclops can "punch holes through mountains", and he has been shown to rupture a half-inch thick carbon steel plate. During a particular battle, Scott says that he hit Cain Marko (a.k.a. the Juggernaut) with enough power to split a small planet in half, though he may have been indulging in hyperbole. In the Age of Apocalypse dimension, his beams can cut through Adamantium, a previously indestructible metal. In the mainstream continuity of the Marvel Universe, it has also been implied that Cyclops only utilizes a fraction of the energies at his disposal. During the Civil War: X-Men story arc, Cyclops is controlled by another mutant to use his powers at their full magnitude. When directed at the energy-absorbing mutant Bishop, Cyclops was able to overload Bishop's powers in a matter of seconds. When Iron Man measured Cyclops' power while he was powering Bishop, he found the energy output was well over 2 gigawatts,[289] larger than a large nuclear reactor. It is also stated that Cyclops does not use his powers at such a level due to the preoccupation he has regarding his control (or lack thereof) of his abilities. Cyclops once fought the Hulk, using a beam blast to stop him, refusing to let the Hulk take Professor Xavier. While it peels off some of the Hulk's skin, he was able to walk towards Cyclops and clench his entire face, effectively containing the blast.[290] Trajectory Bending: When his younger self came to the future, this iteration of Cyclops displayed more directive control over his optic beams than his elder counterpart. Cyclops potentially has the capacity to will his optic blasts to twist and curve in any given direction without need of a solid surface to bounce his eye beams off of.[291] Spatial Awareness: Cyclops possesses an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen surfaces in the course of one blast, and still hit his intended target accurately. It is his sense of spatial awareness enhanced to superhuman levels that allows him to perform these feats as well.[121] Energy Resistance: Cyclops is resistant to the effects of his own powers. This is linked to him being capable of withstanding his brother's ability with no ill effects, a result of their close genetics and a quirk of mutant genetics that is common among siblings. Former Powers Phoenix Force: Cyclops was one of five avatars of the Phoenix Force which granted him the great powers of the Phoenix. So far Cyclops has only displayed interstellar travel but as an avatar he should presumably possess the following abilities as well: •Interstellar Travel: A Phoenix Force avatar can fly unaided through the vacuum of space and can travel interstellar distances faster than the speed of light. •Cosmic Pyrokinetics: An Avatar of the Phoenix can create 'cosmic' flames under any conditions even the impossible ones such as vacuum space or underwater. These flames do not require oxygen to burn and burn so intensely that matter is consumed without by-products such as ash. It has perfect control over these flames, and they only consume what it wills. Typically, they manifest as a raptor or part of a raptor such as a claw or wings, in the case of an avatar. •Resurrection: As the embodiment of all life and death itself, the Phoenix Force can resurrect whomever it desires into pure living flesh, bone, and blood. •Immortality: The Avatar of the Phoenix does not age and can be resurrected by the Phoenix Force. •Temporal Manipulation: An Avatar acting as the Phoenix Force can manipulate the past across large temporal distances and with a profound knowledge of the causal effect his or her actions will have. •Telepathy: A Phoenix Force Avatar can project their thoughts into the minds of others and read other people's thoughts at a near boundless level. •Telekinesis: An Avatar of the Phoenix can control and manipulate matter at a molecular scale. Controlled Optic Blasts: After genetic tampering by an alien entity, Scott Summers initially lost his powers only to regain them but at a stronger level with total control over them. How far his control extent was is currently unknown; all that was seen was that he could open his eyes without involuntary discharge, control its blast radius or force output, and fire it for prolonged intervals without tiring out.[292] Another time he gained was during a later plot by Loki to trick the mortal superhuman adventurers into accepting a paradise of his design.[293] The third time control over his power was within his reach was through psychic meddling from Emma Frost,[203] which temporarily left him in a coma before he was revived, his power in check at last.[294] Gamma Transformation: During the World War Hulks event, Scott/Cyclops was exposed to Gamma radiation from the Cathexis Ray Generator which caused him to bulk up into a gamma mutate like numerous other heroes,[295] gaining large amounts of bodily mass at the expense of higher brain function.[296] His physiology had been radically altered beyond the addition of excess bone, skin and musculature density to his anatomical frame as he now boasted a head and scalp teaming with numerous eyes through which he could discharge multitudinous optic beams from, on top of having a near perfect 360° field of vision to see out of.[297] •Superhuman Strength •Superhuman Durability •Superhuman Stamina •Regenerative Healing Factor •Multiple Eyes: In the brief time Scott had been hulked out, not only did he have perfect control over his optic blasts but he also boasted many eyes across his cranial area.[298] This enabled him to fire a plethora of optic beams in various directions as well as concentrate their fire in any given direction, making his energy rays much more powerful than they normally are.[299] •Scatter Shot •Focused Blast Black Vortex Empowerment: After exposure to the power of the Black Vortex Scott's cosmic potential was unleashed, vastly improving on all of his previous abilities and bestowing additional ones. •Self-Sustenance: can survive in the vacuum of space unaided. •Flight: able to fly at various speeds unaided. •Controlled Optic Blasts: Cyclops could freely project and halt his optic energy blasts at will without need of a ruby quartz visor. •Enhanced Blast Power: Scott's optic energy beams were significantly stronger in his empowered state, able to penetrate an ice wall and topple a small army of knife's thugs.
Abilities
Expert Pilot: Cyclops is an expert pilot of fixed-wing aircraft, a skill he shares with his father. It has also been implied that his trigonometric sense improves his abilities in the air. Master Tactician and Strategist: Cyclops has spent most of his super hero career as the leader of either the X-Men or X-Factor[citation needed] and has developed exceptional leadership skills. Regardless of their general attitude towards him X-Men tend to obey his orders in battle, because they know that he is usually right. Multilingual: In addition to English, Cyclops is fluent in both Mandarin Chinese and Russian. The former was telepathically taught to him by Emma Frost,[282] while the latter was telepathically taught to him by Professor X.[303] Expert Martial Artist: Cyclops also has extensive training in martial arts and unarmed combat, holding black belts in judo and aikido. His level of skill is sufficient to defeat six normal men with his eyes closed, and he has in the past held his own against dangerous hand-to-hand enemies like Wolverine. Telepathic Resistance: Years of being in intimate situations with telepaths have allowed Cyclops to hone his mind to the point where he can resist telepathic intrusion and withhold certain information from high level telepaths.
Weaknesses
Genetic Flaw: Cyclops is not immune to Vulcan's powers like he is to Havok's. Power Regulation Disability: Due to psychological trauma and physical injury at a young age, Cyclops is unable to control his optic blasts. In connection, his eyes have become more reliant on the ruby quartz he uses rather than affecting change to the injury. Emma Frost has claimed the psychological trauma of losing his parents and being separated from his brother are primarily responsible for his inability to control his powers. Mister Sinister has also claimed that his eyes have become reliant on the ruby quartz sunglasses and visor, therefore making it hard for Cyclops to control the blasts on his own. After overcoming the trauma, he was able to control his blasts and open his eyes for a period of time. However, he gradually began losing control of the blasts and had to revert back to using the sunglasses and visor. His inability to control his power only worsened when exposure to the Phoenix Force altered them to an even more unstable and powerful state.[240] Due to this, his blasts are now flawed and can be either stronger than before or turn off in the middle of a battle.[304] •While wearing his visor, Cyclops has bad peripheral vision.[305]
