Scott Summers

## Threat Assessment

### Abilities

* **Mutant Level:** Scott is an Gamma-Level Mutant with Beta-Level projected potential.
* **Mutation - Optic Blast:** Scott projects a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. His powers appear to come from the absorption of ambient energies (such as solar radiation, photons, and even cosmic rays) which are then metabolized by his body and projected into concussive blasts which are released ocularly. However, due to a head-injury sustained in his youth, Scott appears unable to contain these blasts when his eyesight is stimulated in nearly any fashion. Only the use of special glasses or a visor with ruby-quartz lenses seem sufficient at filtering light-based stimuli while still allowing Scott the ability to see.
	+ ***Energy Resistance:*** Due to the metabolization of his body's passive absorption of energy, Scott is immune to his own blasts. Furthermore, upon contact with Scott's body, the energy harmlessly dissipates with no effect. Even the kinetic discharge accompanying the energy does not transmit to Scott. The thin skin of his eyelids are sufficient to contain his optic blasts. While this same immunity does not apply to other forms of energy, Scott does exhibit some resistance to similar forces. Of special interest is that Scott and his brother Alexander appear to be almost completely immune to each other's powers, registering a direct hit from each other's most potent energy blasts as little more than a solid slap.
	+ ***Psionic Field:*** Scott's metabolization of energy creates a rather unique aura that gives off a field of psionic energy that those sensitive to describe as comforting and even mildly intoxicating.
	+ ***Spatial Awareness:*** Scott possesses an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in the sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. He has the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those of his liking. He has shown his talent for these "banked shots" repeatedly to his fellow students at target practice. Scott has been observed causing beams to reflect from over three 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 to perform these feats and also allows him to function flawlessly in familiar environments when he is forced to close his eyes due to having lost or damaged his sunglasses or training visor.

### Skills

* **Expertise - Leader:** Scott is a charismatic youth with a strong head for strategy and synergy. He is regularly helping other students bolster their weakest skills. Scott is also an exceptional athlete (possibly influenced by his enhanced spatial awareness) and an all-around solid, bright student.

### Weaknesses

* **Surplus Energy:** Scott has mentioned that he needs to fire blasts frequently, because he gathers surplus energy within him which appears to cause him physical pain - initially in the form of migraines and later causing muscle aches and several joint pain.
