| − | Cyclops verbally |
+ | Cyclops verbally reprimanded the Avengers, pointing out that despite their attempts to make mutants more integrated into society and making his brother the poster boy for mutant-Avenger co-operation, mutants were still hunted and discriminated against by local law enforcement. They were always "guilty until proven innocent" and the Avengers never stepped in to defend these mutants from such bigotry. His words prompted [[Clinton Barton (Earth-616)|Hawkeye]] to aim an arrow towards his skull and forced Captain America to attempt to place him under arrest. Before the fight could breakout however, they were saved by Tempus creating a Time Bubble and trapping the Avengers inside. They returned home to find that Magneto had outed them to S.H.I.E.L.D. as a method to infiltrate their ranks. Scott was livid and ready to blast Erik to pieces, but Emma calmed him down and in fact agreed with Erik's methods. Scott was reluctant at first, but agreed before telling the new students to settle in as the faculty was going on a field trip to the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning.{{r|Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 3}} |
| − | The X-Men |
+ | The X-Men present viewed Scott as insane, but listened to what he had to say. Scott explained that they were on the edge of a push back and that while he would defend the Jean Grey School with his dying breath, he felt they were doing little to help against the growing anti-mutant hysteria. He offered people to join his new school, where they would learn to train and prepare to defend themselves for the oncoming battle. Departing briefly, he returned at sunset to collect all interested students and had a disagreement with his past self over methodology. The Stepford Cuckoos and Angel of the time-displaced X-Men joined Scott at his school, despite the protests of Wolverine and the others.{{r|Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 4}}{{r|All-New X-Men #10}} |

+ | '''Optic Blast:''' Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops' powers come from 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. |
| − | Cyclops' |
+ | Cyclops' 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' eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected. |
| − | The width of Cyclops' |
+ | The width of Cyclops' eye-blasts 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' 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 two pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of fifty feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam four feet across which, at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of 500 pounds per square inch. The maximum angular measurement of Cyclops' eye-blast is equivalent to a wide-angle 35mm camera lens field of view (90 degrees measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding a 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 degrees, 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' 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' |
+ | The extra dimensional supply of energy for Cyclops' eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops' 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' 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 (Earth-616)|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. In the [[Earth-295|Age of Apocalypse]] dimension, his beams can cut through [[Adamantium]], a previously indestructible metal. In the mainstream continuity of the [[Earth-616|Marvel Universe]], it has also been implied that Cyclops only utilizes a fraction of the energies at his disposal. During the ''Civil War: X-Men'' story arc, Cyclops is controlled by another mutant to use his powers at their full magnitude. When directed at the energy-absorbing mutant [[Lucas Bishop (Earth-1191)|Bishop]], Cyclops was able to overload Bishop's powers in a matter of seconds.

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. |

+ | As an after-effect of exposure to the crippling energies of the Phoenix Force, his powers seemed to have altered beyond their original state of being. His optic blasts, although vastly more uncontrollable, are more powerful than ever so much so that he can eradicate a squadron of modified normal and man sized [[Sentinels]] in one blast and wound powerful [[Dormammu (Earth-616)|mystic entities]].{{r|Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 1}}{{r|Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 6}} A side effect of his damaged abilities causes his concussion beams to bend, weave, and arc in alternate directions, giving his blasts the appearance of multiple curving blasts spiralling around the core blasts and making his new optic laser even harder to dodge.{{r|All-New X-Men #4}} |

+ | '''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 (Earth-616)|Emma Frost]] has claimed the psychological trauma of losing his parents and being separated from his brother are primarily responsible for his inability to control his powers. [[Nathaniel Essex (Earth-616)|Mister Sinister]] has also claimed that his eyes have become reliant on the [[Ruby-Quartz|ruby quartz]] sunglasses and [[Cyclops' Visor|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. His inability to control his power only worsened when exposure to the Phoenix Force altered them to an even more unstable and powerful state.{{r|All-New X-Men #3}} Due to this, his blasts are now flawed and can be either stronger than before or turn off in the middle of a battle.{{r|Uncanny X-Men Vol 3 22}} |

Quick Answers
What is the origin story of Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops from X-Men?
Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops from X-Men, is a mutant who was born with his extraordinary abilities that developed during puberty. He is one of the first X-Men, a group of mutant heroes created by Professor X with the purpose of defending a world that hated and feared them. Scott began a relationship with his teammate Jean Grey. During a mission, Jean was forced to sacrifice herself to save her team. Her anguished telepathic cries attracted the Phoenix Force, an Elder of the Universe that had come to Earth so that it could die. Drawn by Jean's love for Cyclops, the Phoenix bonded to her, becoming a binary being. The Phoenix created a psychic rapport with Cyclops, and the two became closer than any humans could be, sharing their minds and souls with each other. After a brief and chaotic period, the Phoenix fulfilled its purpose and died. Jean was later resurrected, though the love that they had paled in comparison to what Cyclops had shared with the Phoenix.

What role does Cyclops play in the X-Men universe?
In the X-Men universe, Cyclops, also known as Scott Summers, plays a pivotal role as a leader and guide for other mutants. He has led numerous missions and adventures, and even served as the headmaster of Xavier's School. When the survival of mutants was threatened, Cyclops transformed the X-Men into a more extremist faction, even going to war against the Avengers.
