History

Cyclops was once the leader of the X-Men. As a young man, Cyclops fought to save the Mutant Messiah, believing that she would reverse the rapid extinction faced by mutantkind due to M-Day. Scott's hopes were realized when the Messiah undid the effects of M-Day, but in an event that would come to be known as the Six-Minute War, the Messiah killed a million humans, leading to harsh anti-mutant legislation and the re-activation of the Sentinel program. The X-Men and other organized mutant groups were hunted down, with most either killed or imprisoned in concentration camps.

At some point, Scott had a daughter by the name of Ruby. He was told in no uncertain terms to name his child Ruby by Layla Miller, a mutant with knowledge of the future. At some point, Cyclops suffered grievous injuries at the hands of Multiple Man, requiring his left arm, foot, and parts of his head and chest to be replaced with cybernetic parts. After the end of the X-Men, Cyclops and his daughter went into exile in the ruins of Atlantic City. Cyclops would spend twenty years waiting for Layla Miller, having been told by her in the past that she would seek him out at some point in the future.

When a young Layla from the past finally appeared, Cyclops struck her and blamed her for everything that had happened to them, believing that she had chosen to dole out information about the future rather than simply tell them the horrors that were waiting for them. An anguished Layla told Cyclops that she had no choice and was unable to change the future, tearfully begging Cyclops to kill her. Realizing his mistake, Cyclops comforted her. Layla convinced Cyclops and Ruby to once again fight for mutant rights in what would come to be known as the Summers Rebellion, as mutants and pro-mutant humans joined together to fight against the government.

They succeeded in ending the concentration camps, though racism against mutants remained rampant and anti-mutant forces in the government remained strong. Years after the start of the rebellion, Layla brought a younger version of Multiple Man into the future. He was recruited by Cyclops to find out why some of his men had begun disappearing. Madrox went to find Doctor Doom who, despite his senility, remained the world's leading expert in time travel. Madrox eventually uncovered that a rogue dupe of him known as Cortex, acting on behalf of the anti-mutant politician Anthony Falcone, was behind the disappearances.

While Doom had agreed to help them, he soon switched allegiances, seizing control of Cortex and Cyclops through their cybernetic implants and turning them against the rest of the mutants. This prompted Falcone to launch his super-sentinels to finally wipe the Summers Rebellion out. Ruby managed to knock out her dad and the Summers Rebellion defeated Doom, Falcone, and Cortex.

Attributes

Powers

Presumably the same as those of Scott Summers (Earth-616) but with greater control, although possibly deteriorated by age or enhanced by his robotics.

Weaknesses

His robotic parts leave him vulnerable to being controlled by technology.

Paraphernalia

Equipment

Scott has several robotic parts which have allowed him to live longer than the average human.

Notes

  • In this future, Cyclops no longer needs a visor to control his optic blasts. Whether this is due to his robotic enhancements or simply learning to control them is unknown.
