Occupation:
X-Men leader (formely)
Graduate High School student
Abilities:
Optic Blast: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's powers were originally believed to be 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. However, the energy supply of his optic blasts are later revealed to originate from a non-Einsteinian universe that opens up whenever he uses his optic blasts.
Cyclops's eyes not only are organs that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. They are are also inter-dimensional portals between this universe and a non-Einsteinian universe where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinian 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-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'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 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's 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'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 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's metabolism will recover sufficiently for him to continue in about an additional 15 minutes.
Spatial Awareness: Cyclops possesses an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen 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 him to perform these feats as well.
Energy Resistance: Cyclops is resistant to the effects of his own powers. This is linked to him being capable of withstanding his brother's ability with no ill effects. This is a result of their close genetics, a quirk of mutant genetics that is common among siblings.
Master Strategist and Tactician: Cyclops has spent most of his superhero career as the leader of either the X-Men or X-Factor and has developed exceptional leadership skills. It is notable that regardless of their general attitude towards him, all of the X-Men tend to obey his orders in battle - because they know that he is usually right.
Expert Martial Artist: Cyclops also has extensive training in martial arts and unarmed combat, holding black belts in judo and aikido. His level of skill is sufficient to defeat six normal men with his eyes closed, and he has in the past held his own against such dangerous enemies as Wolverine and Ghost Rider.
Telepathic Resistance: Years of being in intimate situations with telepaths have allowed Cyclops to hone his mind to the point where he can resist telepathic intrusion and withhold certain information from high level telepaths.
Weaknesses:
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.
Personality:
Scott is usually a 'no-nonense' kind of guy, but does know how to have fun when the occasion calls for it. He acts as a kind of big brother to the younger kids and is generally a nice guy. Sometimes he may have trouble spitting out his feeling for Jean, but he has no trouble being a natural leader and disciplinarian. Everyone looks up to Scott and trusts him no matter what. Scott is reliable in any given situation.
However, because of the so-called death of Jean Grey, all of that went out the window, as Scott fell into a deep depression.

Bio:
Scott Summers was the first student in Professor Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. When Scott and his younger brother, Alex, were very young, the two were forced to abandon their family's plane when it caught fire while they were flying towards a vacation spot. After a severe injury upon landing, Scott spent the next few months in a hospital, and believed himself to be the only surviving member of his family. As an orphan, Scott bounced from foster home to foster home for most of his childhood, never quite fitting in. In the men's room at a middle school dance, Scott's powers revealed themselves, blasting a hole through the roof of the ceiling. With the sudden boost in power in the area, Professor Xavier's Cerebro computer was able to easily pinpoint the young mutant, and Scott became the first official X-Men, codenamed Cyclops. This moniker likely originated from the ruby quartz crystal visor he wears to block his powers. These make it appear as if he only has one eye.
Anyways, shortly after his first stay in the school, Xavier enrolled a second student, by the name of Jean Grey, whose telepathic abilities were out of her control. But despite her problem, Scott fell head-over-heels in love with her the moment he saw her. The two became fast friends, throughout middle school, and their early years in the institute. However, it was when they first started high school, that Jean gained different interest that separated her from Scott. Namely popularity and dating the star quarterback. Luckily, more students for the institute arrived, giving Scott something to take his mind off of Jean's snobbishness.
Due to his experience and his natural gift for leadership, Scott became the field leader of the younger X-Men. Soon afterwards, Cyclops's young life came to a culmination point in what the team calls "The Cauldron Event," where he found out his younger brother, now known as Alex Masters, was still alive, and was also a mutant with the ability to convert cosmic radiation into heat blasts from his hands. Eric Lensherr, the Professor's former partner, now operating under the guise of Magneto, cajoled the two young mutants into testing his mutant enhancement machine, which was powered by the mystic Cytorrak gem. Cyclops emerged with the newly named Havok, both able to fully control their powers. However, the two boys' minds were altered by the gem and they were now the most powerful members of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Under Magneto's orders they attacked the jet conveying Wolverine, Mystique, and the rest of the X-Men, causing the jet to crash into Magneto's Asteroid M. Ultimately, though, Scott and Alex returned to their senses and the two brothers exhausted their powers by destroying Asteroid M, returning them to their previous selves.
On the so-called "Day of Reckoning," Xavier was especially harsh on the X-Men after a bad training exercise, particularly on Cyclops for his poor leadership in the exercise. When Xavier announced that the Brotherhood was joining the X-Men to fight Magneto and Avalanche challenged Cyclops for leadership of the joint team, Cyclops let Avalanche have leadership and stormed out of the Mansion. Later, when Magma and Boom-Boom alerted him that the Mansion had gone to Defcon 4, Cyclops regained his composure and narrowly saved the New Mutants from the destruction of the Mansion. When the X-Men/Brotherhood returned, Cyclops attacked Xavier, accusing him of sabotaging the Mansion, and threw the man on the ground. When the X-Men stopped Cyclops from continuing, Xavier stood, and morphed into Mystique.
Cyclops, Storm and Mystique split leadership of the mission to rescue all their missing teammates, who were being held in Area 51, a military complex. During their escape, Cyclops pressured Mystique to tell him where Professor X was, but she refused, so he locked her in the complex to be captured. After rescuing Professor X (thanks to information from Caliban), Cyclops returned to Bayville, now outed as a mutant. Then Scott got a call from his brother Alex, who was stuck in Mexico and needed a lift. Cyclops went to his assistance, only to be ambushed by Mystique, who had escaped prison and wanted revenge on Cyclops. Mystique knocked Cyclops out and abandoned him in the desert, without his glasses or visor.
Scott was eventually found by Mexican workers who saw his eye-beams flash and taken to a hospital, which he inadvertently damaged. Mystique found him and they fought until Scott managed to see through her posing as Jean Grey and knocked her back with a blast, just in time for the real Jean to arrive and take care of the villainess. Scott's stress had called out to Jean and allowed her to track him through a bond they both realized they now shared, and the two finally realized their deep feelings for each other.
Afterwards, the older X-Men graduated from high school, and managed to defeat Apocalypse. Though while the anti-mutant sentiment remained, all was peaceful for the institute.
Until that dreaded day when a powerful blast, from an unknown origin, destroyed the institute, and also supposedly vaporized Jean and the professor. Refusing the accept the fact that they could be dead, Scott searched high and low for them, though was difficult without their resources. But as the fact sunk in, the X-Men slowly disbanded, and Scott fell into a sea of depression.
Now he fled to Hawaii to live with his brother, the only person worth to live in this miserable life.
