Cyclops (Scott Summers)

Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops and Captain Krakoa, is one of the major characters from the Marvel Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
The first X-Man, Scott Summers possesses the mutant ability to draw ambient energy from another dimension through his eyes which are actually portals to the dimension, he usually channels this energy into concussive force blasts. He is visually distinctive for the ruby quartz visor he wears to control his devastating power. A born leader, Cyclops succeeded his mentor Professor X to command the X-Men.
Scott is brave, self-less, a master tactician and first-rate leader. He has very low self-esteem however, holding a low opinion of himself and obsessing over his shortcomings and failures. Socially, he has described himself as an introvert. As a leader, he is very strict and no-nonsense, demanding seriousness, dedication and skill, usually earning him the dislike of more rebellious team members such as Wolverine.

== Trivia ==
* Chris Claremont actually originally wanted to retire Cyclop's character from the X-Men comics. His original endgame was for Scott to settle down and start a family with Jean Grey, but then Jean got killed off and his plan then changed to have Scott settle down and start a family with Madelyn Pryor (who was basically just a Replacement Scrappy stand in for Jean), with his story being the "symbol" of a character graduating from Xavier's School. Editors vetoed this idea, and what we got was Scott eventually (and this is over simplifying things) attempting to abandon his family for the resurrected Jean Grey - and then it turned out Madelyn was an evil clone of Jean.
* Cyclops has been hit with a lot of this over the years, both by fans and by writers. Depending on the Writer he's either a kind, compassionate man who simply suffers from bad social skills or he's a stubborn jerkass control freak who may or may not have developed some very bigoted disdain towards the humans who have persecuted him and his fellow mutants.
* Scott's Eye Beams, which have had competing explanations over the years. Originally lasers and later "force blasts", the explanation for why Scott's body didn't suffer any recoil when unleashing that much force became that the blasts originated from a "non-Einsteinian" dimension or universe. Explanations as to how Scott can make his blasts reflect off of walls like lasers off of mirrors or how he can use them to cushion his body when falling (that is, recoil suddenly being a thing when useful) tend to be ignored.
* A common nickname for Scott is Slim, dating back to the first issue of the comic.
