Character basics:
Real name: Scott Summers
Code name: Cyclops
Date of Birth: May 31st, 1977
Place of Birth: Anchorage, Alaska
Age: 33
Known family:
Christopher Scott Summers (Father, presumed deceased)
Kathryn Anne Summers (Mother, presumed deceased)

The Reflection in the mirror:
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown / glowing red whilst using powers
Height: 6'3
Weight: 220 pounds
Legal Status: Adult
Occupation: Teacher at the institute
Affiliation: X men
Abilities:
Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's eyes are no longer the complex organic jelly that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. Instead, they are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinium universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinium 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 oriinal 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. His narrowest beam, about the diameter of a pencil at a distance of 4 feet has a force of about 2 pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam 4 feet across which, at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of 500 pounds per square inch. The maximum angular measurement of Cyclops's eye-blast is equivalent to a wide-angle 35mm camera lens field of view (90 degree measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding this 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 degree, 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's 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's eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops's psionic field is active (which is constantly), 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.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Scott's goals are simple, to do whatever is in his power to make Professor Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants a reality and to protect those he cares about with his life. Scott carries the world on his shoulders and while he is not humorless, he doles out warmth very sparingly. His childhood had been a nightmare after his parents' deaths and because of that, it takes him some time to warm up to people...well, that and the fact that he could kill you by merely looking at you. He is devoted entirely to Xavier and his dream. He is a leader through and through, and would rather die himself than lose a team mate. He has a fondness for flying planes and telepathic women...especially red haired ones.
Scott is not known to be fun, or charitable. His by-the-book attitude is daunting and inflexible, until you realize that he wrote the book. Doing what is necessary to save his people and prevent the mutant-human tensions from escalating into a war, Scott is the first one to say that his methods are taxing, and demanding, but if you follow his orders, if you do exactly what he says when he says it, things will go well, because before he issues an order he's thought of seven tactics and chosen this one as the quickest, safest, most effective solution. He doesn't expect blind obedience, but he expects you to understand he isn't issuing blind orders either. Scott respects those who work hard, who attempt to improve themselves, and who will do what's right even when it's hard. And, if you think he's hard on you, it's nothing compared to how hard he is on himself.
History:
Scott Summers was the older of the two sons of Major Christopher Summers, a test pilot in the U.S. Air Force. When Scott was a child, Major Christopher Summers flew himself, his wife Katherine, and his sons Scott and Alex back from a vacation in his vintage private plane called the 'DeHaviland Mosquito'. The plane was attacked and set ablaze by an unknown attacker. Katherine pushed Scott and Alex out the plane door with the only available parachute. The parachute was unable to slow their fall adequately and Scott suffered a head injury on landing. (The injury damaged the part of Scott's brain that would have enabled him to control his powerful optic blasts).
When Scott recovered, he was placed in an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska where he lived for three years, miserable, lonely. While fifteen year old Scott was working in the city as a delivery boy, his developing mutant power to project optic force beams finally erupted, bursting forth in an uncontrollable and energetic blast that demolished a crane, causing it to drop a huge object towards a terrified crowd. Scott saved the crowd by obliterating the object with another blast, but they turned into an angry mob, thinking he had tried to kill them. Scott was cornered and beaten until he was rescued by a policeman and sent to the hospital, where he spent two months with his eyes bandaged, lids clamped shut beneath.
The boy was taken from the hospital and put in the care of Charles Xavier, who discovered that ruby red quartz was the only thing to contain Scott's optic blasts. For months, he and the boy worked to develop the lower levels of the mansion into a state of the art training facility, Scott even demonstrating enough technological genius to redesign a rejected blueprint for an S-71 Blackbird. He was also relearning how to interact with people, as Xavier began to bring in other students, starting with Warren Worthington, who despite initially clashing with the sullen and awkward Scott, soon became his best friend. It was Xavier's third student though that changed Scott's life, Jean Grey, who he fell in love with.
although his reserve and his worries about the dangers of his optic beams prevented him for years from expressing his feelings to her. As Cyclops Scott soon became deputy leader of the X-Men, and by the time he was 18, he was the undisputed field commander
Scott was currently in the danger room at the institute. It normally happened once a week where Scott would go and just blow off steam that he might have had. It was stressful being the leader of the X men plus the fact that he taught the kids as well didn't help that. When the X men had been a small group they hadn't had a problem, when it was just him, Jean and a few others they had worked well together now there where dozens of students as opposed to a dozen. Not that Scott was complaining he was glad the school was busy, it was just stressful.
Scott had just finished his danger room program in which he had fought simulated versions of the xmen and their enemies. The brotherhood members he had fought before had been easy to defeat, surprisingly it had been Jean where he had found the biggest challenge. Not that he had been doubting Jean's powers but as the danger room didn't hold back on you, he was surprised how much power Jean had that she didn't use.
"Maybe i should go and talk to her about it." he said to himself.
