POWERS AND ABILITIES POWERS AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES: Optic Blast: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's powers were originally believed to be 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. However, the energy supply of his optic blasts are later revealed to originate from a non-Einsteinian universe that opens up whenever he uses his optic blasts. Cyclops's eyes not only are organs that utilizes the the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. They are are also inter-dimensional portals between this universe and a non-Einsteinian universe where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinian universe is filled with particles that resemble photons, yet they interact with this universe's particles by transferring kinetic energy in the form of gravitons (the particle of gravitation). These particles generate great, directional concussive force when they interact with the objects of this universe. Cyclops's 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's eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected. The width of Cyclops's eye-blast 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's eye-blast is controlled by his visor's adjustable slit. The extra dimensional supply of energy for Cyclops's eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops's 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 minute of constant usage, the psionic field subsides and allows only a slight leakage of energy to pass through the aperture. Cyclops's metabolism will recover sufficiently for him to continue in about an additional 15 minutes. The maximum force of Cyclops' optic blasts are unknown, but a commonly given description is that he 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. It has also been implied that Cyclops only utilizes a fraction of the energies at his disposal. During the Civil War, 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's power while he was powering Bishop, he found the energy output was well over 2 gigawatts, 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. 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 superhumanly enhanced spatial awareness that allows him to perform these feats as well. 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. This is a result of their close genetics, a quirk of mutant genetics that is common among siblings. Strength level Cyclops possesses the strength of a normal human male who engages in intensive regular exercise and hence is able to press lift at least his own body-weight. SKILLS AND ABILITIES: Expert Pilot: Cyclops is an expert pilot of fixed-wing aircraft, a skill he appears to have inherited from his father. It has also been implied that his trigonometric sense improves his abilities in the air. Master Strategist and Tactician: Cyclops has spent most of his superhero career as the leader of either the X-Men or X-Factor and has developed exceptional leadership skills. It is notable that regardless of their general attitude towards him, all of the X-Men tend to obey his orders in battle - because they know that he's usually right. Master 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 such dangerous enemies as Wolverine and Ghost Rider. WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT: Cyclops' Visor: The mask Scott wears to prevent random discharge is lined with powdered ruby quartz crystal. It incorporates two longitudinally mounted flat lenses which can lever inward providing a constantly variable exit slot of 0 inches to .79 inches in height and a constant width of 5.7 inches. The inverted clam-shell mechanism is operated by a twin system of miniature electrical motors. As a safety factor their is a constant positive closing pressure provided by springs. The mask itself is made of high-impact plastic. There is an overriding finger-operated control mechanism on either side of the mask, and normal operation is through a flat micro-switch installed in the thumb of either glove. 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 recently 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. HISTORY History: He is the son of Katherine Ann Summers and Major Christopher Summers of the United States Air Force. When his father took his family for a flight in his airplane, they were attacked by a Shi'ar ship. His parents strapped him and his brother, Alex to a single parachute and tossed them out of the plane in hopes they would survive. Unfortunately the parachute caught fire and Scott landed on his head causing brain damage. This caused him to lose the ability to control his optic blasts and amnesia about his childhood. Scott lived in an orphanage in Nebraska where he would be used in experiments by the owner, Mr Milbury. As he grew up, Scott developed a destructive mutant power; his eyes would produce incredibly powerful concussive blasts. He couldn't control his power because of the damage to his head he had experienced when falling from the plane. Whilst living in the orphanage, Scott was given a pair of red-lensed glasses. He didn't understand why, but he knew that they restrained his mutant power. It transpired that Mister Sinister played many roles in Scott's formative years, including Mr Milbury, the head doctor at the orphanage, and the orphan bullies 'Nathan Masters' and 'Lefty'. As Lefty, he tormented Scott often by killing his potential foster parents so that they wouldn't adopt him. Even when Scott befriended staff member Robyn Hanover, due to their shared liking of planes, Sinister brainwashed her so that she would be as cold as all the other staff. When Scott was 16 years old, he ran away from the orphanage and found a mutant named Jack O'Diamonds. Jack wanted Scott to help him break into the nuclear power plant, which had triggered his mutant abilities in the first place. Scott only agreed because he knew Jack would kill the guards there if he didn't help him. While the two broke in, Professor X heard of the break in and tried to stop them. Eventually Jack absorbed so much radiation that he was atomized, and so Professor X offered for Scott to join the X-Men. He accepted so Xavier could teach him to control his abilities. As such, Scott adopted the codename Cyclops and became the first X-Man. The Professor provided Cyclops with a ruby quartz visor to help him restrain his destructive eye blasts. Although Cyclops could never control his power, he finally had a means to use it with confidence. He soon met new teammates, other mutants his age. They bonded well together and they called him Slim Summers, due to his slight frame. Together they became the original five X-Men. Whenever Professor X wasn't around, Cyclops became their team leader. Cyclops was such an efficient leader that for a short while he led the X-Men without Professor X there. Although he was serious about dedicating himself to the X-Men, Cyclops fell in love with his team-mate Marvel Girl. However, he didn't want to start a relationship since he was afraid of hurting someone with his uncontrollable powers. He was also insecure about his own attributes, believing that she would prefer to date the handsome Angel. Eventually Jean realised that Scott loved her, and so the two started a relationship. From then on, the two were inseparable. Even when Xavier was thought to be dead, and the X-Men split up at the request of the FBI's Fred Duncan, Cyclops and Marvel Girl stayed together. Cyclops proved he still had his brilliant leadership skills when he managed to disguise himself as " Eric the Red" and infiltrated Magneto's base of operations when he was building an army of mutants. Eventually the X-Men reformed under Professor Xavier, but they were all captured by the living island Krakoa. Cyclops managed to escape, but had lost his ruby quartz visor. With a torn strip of his uniform tied around his head to blindfold him, Cyclops was washed ashore and eventually crawled back to the Professor for help. The Professor assembled a second group of mutants to save his original X-Men. This group contained Cyclops' half-brother Vulcan, but the team failed and was believed to have died while fighting Krakoa. Therefore, the Professor mind-wiped all knowledge of this group from Cyclops' mind, including all knowledge of his brother. A third group of X-Men was assembled, and Cyclops led them to battle Krakoa. They were successful and saved the original X-Men. However, the rescued X-Men couldn't accept the new X-Men in their lives and left the mansion. Cyclops remained at the school for fear of his uncontrollable powers. Soon after the original five X-Men had formed, Cyclops' long lost brother Alex was discovered. Like Cyclops, Alex had developed a highly destructive mutant power which was detected by Cerebro. Known as Havok, he joined the original X-Men. An unusual genetic quirk between brothers, neither Cyclops nor Havok could hurt each other with their mutant powers. Instead, they would absorb the energies and redirect it in their own powers. However, being more tactically minded and more experienced in battle, Cyclops would always defeat Havok in brotherly scraps. Cyclops' family continued to expand. As the X-Men's adventures continued to take them into space, they came in contact with a band of space pirates known as the Starjammers. The captain of the Starjammers was known as Corsair, and for a long time they resented each other, while admiring their leadership skills. Some years later it was discovered that Corsair was in reality Christopher Summers, Cyclops and Havok's father. It transpired that Christopher and Katherine were saved from the burning plane by a group of intergalactic slavers. Katherine had died at the hands of the Shi'ar despot D'Ken. Christopher had managed to escape and continued to fight D'Ken's regime with his small band of pirates under the re-imagined persona of Corsair. Despite the departure of the original X-Men, Cyclops continued to date Marvel Girl. He found that he had a new rival for her affections in the form of Wolverine. The new Canadian member of the X-Men had a wilder personality compared to Cyclops, and he was open about his attraction to her. Soon, she became involved into the X-Men's adventures when Sentinels attacked them on Christmas Eve. The young couple were kidnapped along with Banshee and taken to an abandoned SHIELD platform in orbit around the Earth. There, the anti-mutant activist Steven Lang unveiled his plans for a new generation of Sentinels. The other X-Men and Dr. Corbeau arrived to rescue their kidnapped team-mates, but the destruction of the SHIELD space station damaged their escape shuttle. Radiation began to leak into the shuttle. Marvel Girl absorbed the knowledge to pilot the shuttle. She could use her telekinesis to shield herself, while the other X-Men were placed into stasis for protection. However, the strain became too much for her. Although they safely re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, the shuttle crashed in Jamaica Bay. The X-Men swam safely to the surface, but there wasn't any sign of Marvel Girl. Suddenly the water erupted and she flew into the air. Wearing a skin-tight green and gold outfit, she appeared to emerge from the water as the Phoenix. The young couple continued to date. Cyclops was impressed with her new level of power and control. She created a special telepathic rapport between them so they could always contact each other through the power of thought. She accompanied the X-Men to Scotland to stop Moira MacTaggert's mutant son, Proteus from destroying all of reality. On their way back to America, Cyclops proposed to Phoenix and she accepted. Phoenix flew them both to a deserted mountaintop where she removed his Ruby Quartz visor and instructed him to open his eyes. Although wary at first, Cyclops eventually opened his eyes to discover that he could see Phoenix. She had used her telepathy and telekinesis to restrain his powers. It was the first time since puberty that Cyclops could see without the Ruby Quartz holding back his powers. Moved by the moment, they embraced, kissed and made love in the lonely desert. However, Phoenix began to experience realistic illusions wherein she was living in 18th Century England and was betrothed to a mysterious man known only as Nikos. She didn't confide in Cyclops what had been happening to her. When they were sent to investigate the appearance of a new mutant in a seedy New York City nightclub, she was again blindsided by the illusion. Cyclops noticed, but trusted her when she said nothing was wrong. Instead, he focused on trying to recruit Dazzler to the X-Men. As they approached Dazzler, the remaining X-Men came under attack from Hellfire Club guards. All of the X-Men were kidnapped, and the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle revealed themselves. The old X-Men foe, Mastermind had his powers boosted by the White Queen's telepathy. Mastermind had been creating the illusions in Phoenix's mind, and took them to a point where she believed that she married him and assumed the role of the Hellfire Club's Black Queen. She relished all the freedom and power that the position afforded her, but Cyclops remained in contact with her through their telepathic connection. Using this connection, he fought with Mastermind. Although at first it appeared that he had died in the battle, Cyclops had survived. Fortunately the psionic backlash from the broken rapport restored some of Phoenix' consciousness. She quickly defeated Mastermind and Emma Frost by telepathically destroying their minds. Unfortunately for Cyclops, the Dark Phoenix, had destroyed a whole planet full of sentient beings. This had drawn the attention of the Shi'ar race. The X-Men were soon forced to battle the Imperial Guard to protect Phoenix. The battle took place on the Blue Area of the moon, where Cyclops and Phoenix ran into the ancient ruins to hide. There they found ancient weaponry which Phoenix decided to use on herself. She used her telekinesis to prevent Cyclops from stopping her. She then appeared to sacrifice herself. The Shi'ar allowed the remaining X-Men to return to Earth. However, Cyclops struggled to be an X-Man while he grieved for the woman he loved. During an adventure in the Savage Land he began to feel numb, and considered that he didn't truly love Phoenix. He briefly entered into a dating relationship with Colleen Wing, but soon after left the X-Men to travel on his own. At first he traveled as a ship's mate on board Aleytys Forrester's boat. They grew close, but Cyclops remained distant as he was still mourning. When they returned to her family home, Cyclops observed Lee's father being murdered by D'Spayre. He revealed his mutant powers to save Lee from D'Spayre, destroying the house during the fight. Afterwords they grew closer, but the romance was short lived, as Cyclops returned to Alaska to spend time with his father and brother. In Alaska he was reunited with his father, brother and paternal grandparents who owned their own small shipping airline. While at the airport Cyclops was introduced to one of their most successful pilots, a young red-headed woman known as Madelyne Pryor. Her physical resemblance to that of Jean Grey was uncanny, and Cyclops soon fell in love with her. It was a whirlwind romance for Cyclops and Maddie. It wasn't long before they were married, and Maddie became pregnant with their baby son. Cyclops returned to the X-Men with Maddie at his side. There he struggled to maintain a healthy balance between his role as an X-Man and that of a husband and soon-to-be father. He resumed leadership of the X-Men and took the team to Asgard to rescue the New Mutants. When they returned to Earth they appeared in France in time to fight riots outside the trial of Magneto. While the X-Men had been away from the mansion, Maddie had been left all alone. During her solitude in the mansion, her water broke and she gave birth to their son. Without Cyclops' agreement she named the boy Nathan Christopher Summers. However, the name caused arguments between her and Cyclops. He had wanted to call his son Christopher, after his father, however Nathan reminded him of the bully from the orphanage. With the argument over the baby's name still fresh in his mind, Cyclops was forced to confront whether he was still suitable to lead the X-Men. In his self-imposed absence from the team, Storm had successfully posed as field leader. Even though she had lost her powers she challenged Cyclops to a one-on-one duel in the Danger Room for leadership of the X-Men. The fight was short-lived as Storm quickly removed Cyclops' ruby quartz visor, rendering him unable to control his own powers. Cyclops conceded defeat and left the X-Men once more. Together with Madelyne and the baby, he traveled back to Alaska. There, she resumed working for the Summers family airline. Cyclops also began working for the family company. However, he clearly wasn't happy with his new domestic life. While Cyclops was living in Alaska, the Avengers and Fantastic Four made a marvelous discovery. Hidden on the floor of Jamaica Bay was a stone cocoon. It transpired that Marvel Girl had been placed in a catatonic state and left in the stone pod to protect her while a cosmic being known as the Phoenix replaced her. With her resurrection she was returned to her former team-mates, Angel, Beast and Iceman. Marvel Girl couldn't understand why the world had changed so much, that their mentor had abandoned his dream to live in space while their former foe Magneto was leading the X-Men. The others had grown tired of trying to fit in to regular everyday life and with her miraculous return from the dead they decided to reform. When they made the phone call to Cyclops to inform him of Marvel Girl's return, he was in the middle of an argument with Madelyne. Their relationship had grown distant. He would spend many hours in the yard using his power to chop firewood, in order to avoid spending time with his family. As his wife, Maddie gave him an ultimatum, if he left to go back to New York then he should never return. Without a word, Cyclops walked out the door and took the first plane back to New York. Back in the city, he was reunited with his first love. However, he could not passionately embrace Marvel Girl, as he was burdened with the guilt of what he had just done. Cyclops soon discovered that Marvel Girl only had her telekinetic abilities, she had lost her telepathy and could not read his mind. Therefore Cyclops chose not to inform her about Madelyne or his infant son. Instead he maintained a stoic distance from her that continued to upset and frustrate her. With all five of the original X-Men reunited they decided to team-up and fight for mutant rights once more. Angel's old college friend Cameron Hodge agreed to manage their finances and convinced them to pose as mutant hunters. X-Factor became known as a group of humans who hunted mutants. The general public would be encouraged to telephone their hot line with reports of mutant activity. They would go to the scene and rescue frightened new mutants and take them back to their headquarters to train them, teaching them to control their powers. Cyclops soon became a victim to his own guilt, and the machinations of both Mr Sinister and Cameron Hodge. He returned to Alaska to see his estranged wife and child. However, he was not prepared for the sanitizing job that Mr Sinister and his Marauders had performed. So when he arrived, the house had been thoroughly cleansed of all signs they had ever lived there. At the airline, all the staff had been replaced, and all the files on Maddie had been destroyed. He couldn't find any trace that they had lived. As his sanity began to spiral out of control, Cyclops found a grave marked for Madelyne. At her graveside he began to hallucinate, he spoke to the ghost of Jean Grey who merged into Phoenix and then into Maddy. Frustrated and upset he shot through the apparition with his powers. The red beam attracted a local law enforcer who took Cyclops along for questioning. However, as he drove back to the station they were attacked by a half-destroyed Sentinel. Cyclops convinced the police officer to release him from his handcuffs and hide while he battled the Sentinel. Afterwords the police officer thanked Cyclops for saving him and their nearby town and took him back to the house. There, Cyclops began to think he was going mad until he found one of baby Nathan's toys that had fallen behind the radiator. He returned to New York determined to uncover what had been happening. However, his mental health was unstable and he had grown convinced that Marvel Girl was really Phoenix. Cameron Hodge discovered this and planted a holographic projection to activate when Cyclops used his computer. The holographic image of Phoenix emerged from the computer monitor. She taunted Cyclops, confessing that she had been near him all along. The hologram disappeared as Marvel Girl entered the room, confusing Cyclops all the more. He grabbed her and demanded that she stop playing with his mind. Destroying parts of the building with his eye beams, he demanded that she hold his powers back like she had done when he made love to Phoenix in the desert. Despite Marvel Girl's protests that she wasn't the Phoenix, Cyclops finally removed his ruby quartz visor. Amazingly his eyes didn't fire their destructive concussive force. However, his moment of rapture was short-lived when he realized that Leech was holding onto his leg. Leech had temporarily removed Cyclops' power. The other young wards of X-Factor raced into the scene with Iceman and Beast. When they inspected the computer, the hologram of Phoenix leapt out to taunt them. Realizing what had happened, Cyclops was forced to accept the reality that Marvel Girl wasn't Phoenix, nor his missing wife. He apologized for nearly killing her and thanked Leech for saving them all. With his secrets about his estranged wife and child finally revealed, Cyclops continued to work with X-Factor to save young mutants and searched for his missing family with Marvel Girl's help. X-Factor had been publicly revealed as mutants, but because they struggled at their own cost to save lives of New Yorkers after Apocalypse's attack they were accepted as local heroes. What Cyclops didn't know was that Madelyne had been on the run from the Marauders. Her journey took her to San Francisco where she crossed paths with the X-Men. They saved her and took her back to their new base in Australia. While X-Factor had been battling the Four Horsemen in New York, the X-men appeared to sacrifice their lives in Dallas. A television news crew filmed the events, and broadcasted Madelyne's impassioned plea to Cyclops to find Nathan Christopher. Cyclops and Marvel Girl traveled to Alaska to visit the orphanage where Cyclops had grown up. There, they uncovered Mr Sinister's secret laboratories underneath the building, along with dozens of mutant children including Gailyn and Joey Bailey, Marvel Girl's missing niece and nephew. When they finally found baby Nathan he was kept unconscious in a pod along with other mutant babies. However, they came under attack from Nanny and her Orphan Maker. While they were battling to stop Nanny from kidnapping Gailyn and Joey, demons suddenly appeared and stole baby Nathan. Marvel Girl was forced to leave her family in Nanny's care in order to save Cyclops' son. The demons took baby Nathan to N'astirh. The demon sorcerer had corrupted Madelyne's feelings of self-despair, transforming her into the Goblin Queen. With her growing telepathic and telekinetic powers, the Goblin Queen sent her hordes of demons to find her missing son. She wanted her revenge on Cyclops for leaving by destroying the only evidence of their marriage, she was going to murder their son. Cyclops and Marvel Girl returned to New York and were reunited with the other members of X-Factor. There, they were forced to battle the demonic-possessed members of the X-Men. Wolverine gladly battled Cyclops, which distracted him from saving his son. Eventually the X-Men overcame their demonic urges and the two mutant teams joined forces. Pursuing the Goblin Queen into her growing tower above Manhattan, Cyclops was forced to battle Havok who had become the Goblin Prince, Madelyn's new lover. Cyclops defeated Havok, and Marvel Girl eventually defeated the Goblin Queen. As Madelyne lay dying in Marvel Girl's arms, she passed all of her memories and parts of the Phoenix Force into Marvel Girl's mind. Madelyne's memories informed Marvel Girl of who had been the real mastermind behind Madelyne Pryor's existence. Mr Sinister had cloned Jean Grey, but the clone remained lifeless. When the Phoenix died on the moon, it approached the lifeless body of Jean Grey on the floor of Jamaica Bay. When Jean unconsciously rejected the Phoenix it found another host, the body of her clone. When the Phoenix animated the clone's body, Sinister implanted her with false memories, gave her a name and placed her in Alaska where she was guaranteed to meet Cyclops. However, Madelyne retained the Phoenix's replicated telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Although she hadn't realised it for many years, she had been using her powers on a subconscious level, and had caused Cyclops' defeat when Storm challenged him for the leadership of the X-Men. However, without the same experiences and love that Jean Grey had experienced, Madelyne slowly became corrupted by the power. Marvel Girl then led the X-Men and X-Factor to the site of Xavier's School for the Gifted where they confronted Mr Sinister for the first time. However, Cyclops was unable to face Sinister. Back when he was still a boy living at the orphanage, Sinister had planted mental blocks inside Cyclops' mind. Therefore, he was unable to help while Sinister defeated the X-Men and X-Factor. The stress of the situation, and with Marvel Girl's help, Cyclops finally overcame the mental blocks and was able to use his optic blasts on Sinister. It was the first successful strike against Sinister. Seeing that only his optic blasts could hurt Sinister, Cyclops attacked again and appeared to completely destroy him. Finally Cyclops was surrounded by the family he had always wanted, he had Jean Grey instead of Madelyne, and together they cared for his son as their own. They referred to the baby as Christopher, as Cyclops' had always intended, and Jean thought of him as her own son. Even when Nanny and the Orphan Maker re-appeared Cyclops and Jean were able to defeat them and rescue her brain-washed niece and nephew. When X-Factor went to go on a mission in England, Jean packed baby supplies and insisted that they took baby Christopher with them. Not much later, their family life was ruined. Apocalypse returned. Part of his new scheme meant that the baby was infected with a techno-organic virus. Although Apocalypse was ultimately defeated, there was no cure for Cyclops' son. Mysteriously a woman appeared out of nowhere. She informed them that she was Askani, and had traveled back in time from many thousands of years in the future. Askani seemed to have the techno-organic virus, and claimed that although there was no cure for it that there was a way to save baby Christopher. She offered to take the baby into the future where he would receive the necessary care to survive his infection, learn to live with it, and become a savior of humankind. Cyclops was torn between keeping his son and watching him die, or handing him over to a complete stranger and never seeing his son ever again. Ultimately Cyclops wanted his son to live, and gave the baby to Askani. Immediately she disappeared into the future. After an adventure in space that involved the Celestials and X-Factor's ship, they returned to Earth. X-Factor once again teamed up with the X-Men to free Storm and members of the New Mutants from Genosha. Cyclops was forced to fight his brother Havok once again. Havok had been forced through the Siege Perilous, and been given a new life as a mutant working as a Genoshan Magistrate. Therefore he didn't recognise his brother nor any of his old allies. Although Cyclops managed to defeat his brother in an old fashioned brawl, all of the X-teams were taken captive by the Genoshans and had their powers removed. It was only due to the secret planning of the Genegineer David Moreau that Cyclops' powers were restored when he came in to physical contact with Storm. The shocking process also restored Storm to her original adult age. Soon after, both X-Factor and the X-Men were forced to combat their former allies on Muir Island who had been possessed by the Shadow King. Many of the X-Men had been scrambled across the globe, but after their victories in Madripoor, the Savage Land, Genosha, America and Muir Island they had a larger roster of members than ever before. Instead of sending members away, they decided to merge all the teams including X-Factor, and then split the X-Men into two strike teams. While Havok, Polaris and other Muir Island X-Men became the new government sponsored X-Factor, the old X-Factor was assimilated into the new X-Men Blue and Gold teams. Cyclops commanded the Blue team, while Storm lead the Gold team. Under Cyclops' command, the X-Men aided Longshot and Dazzler in the Mojoverse, defeated Omega Red in Russia, and ninjas from The Hand. Cyclops' team was more physically violent than Storm's Gold team. Aside from Beast and Rogue, the Blue team included members that Cyclops had either struggled to co-operate with in the past, or had never worked with before. There had been long running tensions between Cyclops and Wolverine because of their mutual attraction to Jean Grey. Gambit was a natural loner and often worked to his own agenda. Jubilee was still very young and relatively inexperienced in action. Psylocke had been through many life-changing experiences since Cyclops had first met her, and the two began to become attracted to each other. Although they never physically or psychically entered into a relationship, Psylocke was open about her flirtation with Cyclops who tried to deny his attraction for her. As they were enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee, Jean caught Cyclops daydreaming about Psylocke. As he was reassuring her that it was nothing, they were ambushed by Caliban and kidnapped before any of the other X-Men could do anything to help. Meanwhile, Stryfe disguised himself as Cable and shot Professor Xavier with a techno-organic bullet at a peace rally in Central Park. The X-Men divided their resources between those who would work to save the Professor, those who went to hunt down Cable, and those who investigated their missing friends. The X-Men were led on a wild goose chase. They captured X-Force, fought the Mutant Liberation Front, Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Dark Riders, before they teamed up with Apocalypse to uncover who had orchestrated several attacks at once. It transpired that Cyclops and Jean Grey had been kidnapped by Stryfe. They struggled to break free from their cell and escape the high-tech base. Repeatedly they were recaptured and placed into solitary confinement where they were prodded by mechanical torture devices. On one attempt to flee they came across a baby who strongly resembled baby Christopher when he was infected with the techno-organic virus. However, the baby was connected to the base's computers and wired to detonate. Sadly, Jean's telepathy told her that the baby would die if they separated it from the machine. Stryfe was convinced that they would kill the baby to save themselves, but Cyclops and Jean refused. Confused, Stryfe removed the baby, and soon Cyclops and Jean managed to escape. However, when they leapt outside they found themselves in a small pocket of air on the surface of the moon. Bishop, Cable and Wolverine had tracked Stryfe down and managed to take Cannonball, Havok and Polaris up to the moon. Stryfe had created a force field that prevented anyone to enter unless they had either Summers or Grey genetics. Polaris and the other X-Men were forced to wait outside the force field while Cable and Havok continued to stop Stryfe. Stryfe's plans were finally revealed. He believed that he was Nathan Christopher Summers, who had been abandoned in the future where he was raised by cold and unloving machines. He had wanted his revenge on his biological parents. However, Stryfe had been wrong. Instead he was a clone of the techno-organic infected baby. He was Cable's clone, and Cable was in fact Cyclops' missing son. Stryfe opened a vortex to kill everyone. Cable leapt into the vortex with Stryfe. Stryfe was killed, but not before he unleashed the Legacy Virus into Earth's atmosphere. Cable appeared to drag the destructive power of the vortex forwards through time saving everyone. Cyclops had finally been reunited with his son, only to lose him again. Jean Grey confronted Psylocke about what sort of relationship she had with Cyclops. Psylocke admitted that she was sexually attracted to him and took the opportunity to attack Jean. Although Jean was a more powerful telepath, she could not prepare herself for Psylocke's most powerful attack, her telepathic knife. Ultimately, Psylocke was stopped by the appearance of a woman who claimed to be Psylocke. The new woman resembled Psylocke when she was a British woman before she entered the Siege Perilous. Even Wolverine's senses could not detect which woman was really Psylocke. The Blue team investigated the matter and uncovered the origin of Psylocke's Asian body. She had been swapped with an Asian assassin known as Kwannon, who retained Psylocke's memories. Cyclops accepted Kwannon as an X-Man, and she was given the codename Revanche. After Psylocke attacked Jean, Cyclops kept his distance from her and their attraction soon ended. It had been years since Madelyne had died. Cyclops and Jean had been through a lot, and nearly lost each other on several occasions. They decided that they should get married before anything else happened to them. The date was set, the invitations went out, and they arranged for a priest to perform the ceremony at the mansion. Storm ensured that the weather would be suitably warm and bright. Surrounded by their friends and family, Jean Grey finally became Jean Grey-Summers. Unfortunately, the instant they had left the safe confines of the mansion Cyclops and Jean were snatched away. This time they were dragged thousands of years into the future. There, they found themselves inhabiting bodies that had been created for their psychic consciousnesses that could reproduce their own powers. They were finally reunited with the little baby boy whom they thought they would never see again. As Redd and Slymm, Jean and Cyclops were given the chance to raise Nathan Christoper Summers, otherwise known as the Askani Son. Redd and Slymm lived in the future with the Askani Son for 12 years. During that time they cared for him, helped educate him, and kept him liberated from the clutches of Apocalypse and his forces. The boy had a clone who was created as a means to deceive and slow down Apocalypse. They boy who would grow to become Stryfe was snatched away by Apocalypse and raised to become his heir. However, when Apocalypse tried to shift his lifeforce into young Styrfe's body, he realized that the body was merely cloned and he rejected the boy, therefore creating the anger, hate and resentment that caused Stryfe to kidnap his biological parents. After 12 years had passed, Redd and Slymm bid their son a tearful farewell. Rachel Summers had become an elderly woman known as Mother Askani, who had established the Askani religion in order to raise her half-brother. She summoned the power to send her biological parents back into the past, but upon doing so urged Jean to take on the name Phoenix. Cyclops and Phoenix were forced to leave him once again, and their minds were returned to their real bodies back in the present day. However, they discovered themselves lying on a beach, dressed in strange uniforms. There, they had to aid an elderly woman. They encountered Mr Sinister, who informed Cyclops that he had another brother. Once they had successfully helped the old lady, they were free to enjoy the exotic island for the remainder of their honeymoon. Back in the present day with the X-Men, Phoenix was telepathically kidnapped by the being known as Onslaught. It was a psychic entity created when Professor Xavier had mind-wiped Magneto, and it had eventually manifested. Although the X-Men managed to defeat Onslaught with the help of the Fantastic Four and Avengers, the non-mutant hero teams were lost in a different dimension. Soon after they recovered from the attack of Onslaught, the X-Men came under attack from Prime Sentinels. Cyclops was taken prisoner, part of Operation: Zero Tolerance. Although the X-Men managed to free Cyclops, he had been gravely wounded by the surgical implantation of a bomb next to his heart. The reluctant X-Man Dr Cecilia Reyes was forced to perform surgery in the hallway of the mansion. Without proper surgical equipment she managed to remove the bomb and safely stitch Cyclops' chest back together. Again, Cyclops was taken captive, and held by SHIELD. Cable commanded X-Force and led them on to a SHIELD helicarrier. He did not inform them of their mission, but they successfully destroyed large portions of the hellicarrier's hull, and took down SHIELD agents at Cable's command. Eventually they found Cyclops manacled by his hands and legs, and with a ruby quartz helmet to negate his optic blasts. Freed, he was able to return to the mansion and quickly embraced Phoenix. Cyclops and Phoenix spent some time apart from the X-Men to recuperate, but they were convinced by Storm to return. Apocalypse had found the dozen fabled mutants referred to as 'The Twelve'. They were 12 powerful mutants who would help power a machine that would enable Apocalypse to take control of Nate Grey's body. In order to save Nate, Cyclops agreed to merge with Apocalypse, thereby becoming the new host body. For a long time Cyclops was considered to have died in action. However, neither Phoenix nor Cable gave up on him. They tracked Apocalypse and confronted him in Egypt. There, they were able to separate Cyclops from Apocalypse, freeing his body and destroying Apocalypse's spirit in the process. Due to the possession, Cyclops' mind was still haunted from the experience of being merged with Apocalypse for so long. He began to question his life, relationships and how he handled situations in the X-Men. The Mansion became a school again, and began to accept mutants from around the world on a much larger scale than ever before. The X-Men continued to operate from the mansion, with Cyclops performing administrative & liaison duties for the school and as an X-Man out in the field. However, Cyclops' behaviour had noticeably changed. On the way back from a mission in Australia to retrieve a new mutant with Wolverine, they encountered a new breed of Sentinels commanded by Cassandra Nova. The plane crashed, leaving them without any additional resources and baby sitting the physically-mutated 'Ugly' John. Cyclops commanded Wolverine to watch over Ugly John, but soon they were ambushed and held prisoner by Nova's new Sentinels. Already wounded Ugly John was terrified. Cyclops found them and put Ugly John out of his misery by looking at him without his ruby quartz visor lens. Cyclops killed Ugly John with his optic blast. Upon their return to the mansion, the X-Men soon came under attack directly from Cassandra Nova. As Professor Xavier's genetic twin, Nova had a strong telepathic mutant mind. When she attacked Cyclops she disabled him by telepathically placing his mind in a dark room filled with giant cockroaches who spoke to him. He couldn't differentiate between the hallucination or when his friends addressed him. Eventually he was freed from Nova's grasp, and she appeared to be defeated. However, when Phoenix tried to approach him to discuss what had happened, he continued to push her away. Cyclops continued to keep his distance from Phoenix who respected his wish for celibacy. The Professor (while possessed by Cassandra Nova) had gone into space to be with the Shi'ar Empress Lilandra, leaving Phoenix as headmistress of the Institute. This meant that they were spending even less time together, and Cyclops began to feel neglected. However, he began to spend more time in telepathic contact with Emma Frost. While they were out on a mission to Hong Kong to investigate mutant deaths caused by the U-Men, they spent the night together drinking champagne. Their relationship remained purely telepathic, without any physical contact. However, the psychic affair was sexual in nature, and appeared to revolve around Cyclops' varied fantasies about his wife. They continued to have their affair. As it was telepathic in nature, they would often be in contact while in the company of others. Therefore many X-Men became suspicious whenever either one of them fell silent. Phoenix directly questioned Cyclops about what had happened in Hong Kong. His attitude was cold, and purposefully aimed at hurting his wife with the implication that both he and Emma had been awake all night. As a teacher at the Institute Emma continued to closely monitor her five telepathic students, the Stepford Cuckoos. However, the girls knew about Emma's affair with Cyclops. They had seen Phoenix in action previously, and respected her as one of their teachers. After the death of Sophie Cuckoo, the remaining girls grew angry at Emma's hypocritical stance on relationships. After the Institute had survived another hostile alien attack, the girls led Phoenix into the garden where Cyclops was telepathically engaged with Emma. Phoenix entered Cyclops' mind without permission, where she found Cyclops embracing Emma who dressed as the Dark Phoenix. Enraged, Phoenix telepathically attacked Emma without mercy. Cyclops grew angry with Phoenix for doing so, and demanded that she finally look into his memories of the night he spent with Emma in Hong Kong. Doing so, she discovered that Cyclops had not engaged in sexual intercourse with Emma Frost. However, he made it clear of how he was aware that his telepathic relationship with her was just as bad as if it had been a physical affair. Frustrated with himself and with Phoenix' reaction, Cyclops spent a lot of time away from the Institute. Wolverine found him heavily drinking at the Hellfire Club, which had been converted into an exclusive gentleman's club. The two of them were soon caught up with the schemes of Fantomex who had convinced them both to aid him as he broke into the Weapon Plus facilities. He promised Wolverine information of his past and the Weapon X project, while Cyclops was promised the chance to violently unleash his powers on random villains. Neither Wolverine nor Fantomex gave Cyclops the chance to recover from his alcoholic binge drinking. Hung over, Cyclops was dragged into the heavily guarded time-pocket facility known as The World. Their mission led them to a space station in orbit around the Earth. While inside Asteroid M, Cyclops confessed to Wolverine how he felt that his relationship with Phoenix had not progressed since they were teenagers. He was frustrated and angry that she refused to listen to him. He also admitted that he was attracted to Emma because she was more accepting than Jean without judging him for wanting to try something different. While they had been in space, the new remedial teacher Xorn revealed his true identity and plans. Xorn was secretly Magneto, and had turned his special learning class into his new Brotherhood. Cyclops was astonished as he had liberated Xorn from the U-Men in Hong Kong, and considered Xorn to be a good friend. However, Magneto's strength had faltered and he was reliant on the new mutant-power enhancing drug called Kick. In a final confrontation with Magneto, Phoenix managed to defeat him but was mortally wounded. As she lay dying in Cyclops' arms, he apologised for hurting her. With her last words, Phoenix comforted Cyclops. She told him not to worry, and how he had looked more alive than ever. As she died, she told him to live his life. As Phoenix died, her consciousness floated through time where she saw a broken future. Her friends were either corrupted or had died in battle. In that time, the Phoenix was woken prematurely and used to attack her old friends. The Phoenix Force joined all the previous Phoenixes and they informed her that the dark & warped future could have been prevented if the Institute had remained open to care for the X-Men and train younger mutants. She discover that it all hinged on a critical moment when Cyclops rejected a chance to become headmaster of the Institute. Soon after Phoenix' funeral, Cyclops went to stand at her graveside. Emma Frost arrived in a limousine and made him an offer. The chance to live together and work side-by-side as joint headmasters of the Institute. She made it clear that if he said 'no' that she would walk away and close the school. After Phoenix had observed the dark future, she returned to the moment when Cyclops rejected Emma's offer. With a psychic nudge, she pushed Cyclops into changing his mind and accepting a physical relationship with Emma Frost. Together Emma Frost and Cyclops reformed the X-Men. Members of the team would be both teaching staff and X-Men field agents. The various X-Men would each lead and teach a 'squad' of students. As such, Cyclops named his squad The Corsairs after his father. Deciding that the X-Men need to play more of a role in emergency rescue and aid, and thus garner attention on mutants in a more positive light where mutant abilities are used for the good of people, Cyclops hand-picked a team in order to get out into the world more. This team faced an alien named Ord of the Breakworld. The team subdued Ord, but not before learning that one of their own will be responsible for the destruction of Ord's homeworld within the coming year. Soon after, the Danger Room began to show signs of sentience and hostility towards it's owners. The X-Men soon defeated both Danger and Ord, but the consequences effected the X-Men deeply. Professor Xavier had known of the sentience within the Danger Room and had chosen to suppress it and keep it a secret. The X-Men were dismayed by this information and pushed the Professor away. Cyclops was already headmaster of the Institute, and he had assumed the role of mentor to all the X-Men as well. Professor Xavier had trained Cyclops to be his successor, but instead of waiting for him to hand over the reigns Cyclops had taken the authority on his own. During a telepathic "therapy session", Emma Frost presented Cyclops with the possibility that his lack of control over his optic blasts actually stems not from physical brain damage, but from a sort of mental block that the young Scott imposed upon himself after the combined traumas of the loss of his parents, separation from his brother, and shocking manifestation of his powers; this is seen as a coping mechanism, giving Scott something to focus on and try to maintain some sort of control over at a time when events completely out of his control had effectively shattered the life he had led up to that point. Surprisingly, Scott seems to admit that this theory is the truth of the matter, further admitting that he had even blocked making this decision out of his memory, to preserve the fallacy in his own mind and prevent others from discovering his "secret." The issue ends with Scott apparently in a catatonic state, with his eyes uncovered and displaying their natural shade of brown, with no evidence of his powers manifesting. Later he manifests, and has full control over, his optical blasts. After the events of House of M, nearly all mutants were left depowered, and Xavier was missing. A mysterious villain then attacked and easily defeated several members of the team, including Cyclops and his alternate-reality daughter, Rachel. The two were captured and taken to an undisclosed location, which Cyclops vaguely remembered visiting in the past. Eventually managing to free themselves, Cyclops and Rachel attempted to escape, only to run into their captor, revealed to be Vulcan, Cyclops’ younger brother. This new information has left Cyclops resentful towards Professor X and has gone so far as to demand that Xavier leave the school as it is no longer his.
