Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The very first X-Man and deputy leader of the X-Men turned General of Mutantkind. He first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963), created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.Leader of the X-Men and Xavier's top student, Scott Summers is skilled at strategy and managing people, but fails at most attempts at personal interaction. The years of pressure in being an example for other mutants and a combat field leader have wound him up into a tight-assed, stuffed shirt: this brings him into conflict with just about any other mutant who doesn't have standards as high as Cyclops, which is nearly all of them. His powers are energy beams that shoot out of his eyes, which are strong enough to level mountains, and uncontrollable unless filtered with ruby quartz; it's implied that his inability to control his powers has subconsciously driven him to have control and order in every other facet of his life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Post-House of M, 98% of all mutants lost their powers. With his race near extinction, Cyclops came to the conclusion that Xavier's vision was no longer going to cut it. Survival was the new primary objective. This saw Cyclops transition from the Field Leader and "Headmaster" of the X-Men, to the General of Mutants.After personal differences and disagreements on how to deal with the oncoming threat of the Phoenix spiraled out of control and resulted in the death of Xavier and the return of the X-Gene, Cyclops was held responsible for the mess and imprisoned, now considered a Fallen Hero and a terrorist by his former allies. Plagued by guilt, he originally planned to let himself be killed in prison so that at least he could go down as a martyr until he realized that the new mutants arising after this are going to be hounded and hunted. Escaping with the help of his former Extinction Team, Cyclops founded a new Xavier school using the former site of Weapon X and has now began work on protecting the new mutants, despite being hated and feared.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })As well as that, under the claim of trying to save Scott from himself, Beast went back in time and brought the original five X-Men to the present, Scott among them. Teen Scott originally is disgusted by what he was told of his adult self until he comes to realize that a lot of it isn't quite the truth and, with the rest of the team, jumps ship to join him after they find out they can't return to their home timeline.At the beginning of Death of X, Scott is killed by the M-Pox sickness, but Emma Frost makes everyone believe he was murdered by Black Bolt in order to further a conflict between Inhumans and mutants. In the meantime, Teen Scott and the rest of Original Five are working as a team based on Madripoor, overseen by Magneto of all people. The original Cyclops returned in Extermination, two (or three) years after his death, and returned to the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men (2018), where he also reunitedwith a returned Wolverine — the two are stated to be the last X-Men and will rebuild the legacy of the team.Following the 2019 relaunch of the X-franchise in Jonathan Hickman's X-Men, his traditional role as the linchpin and Standardised Leader of the X-Men has been taken to its logical extreme. Unlike the other X-books, which feature a core cast of characters, each issue of the X-Men follows a different eclectic team of mutant powerhouses, with Scott as the only consistent member.Other than being a staple of the franchise, Cyclops has starred and co-starred in several series. Teen Cyclops has his own ongoing series.Portrayed by James Marsden in the original trilogy of the X-Men Film Series, by Tim Pocock as a teenaged Scott in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and by Tye Sheridan as a younger Scott in X-Men: Apocalypse. | |

Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_11ad560b | comment |
Control Freak: Deconstructed, since being a control freak makes him an effective leader and strategist, it's also the main reason he doesn't get along with his teammates outside of a combat setting (especially Logan). It's been made clear that because his powers are uncontrollable, Cyclops compensates by attempting to have total control over every other aspect of his life. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Cyclops, in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run, has a severe one of these when Emma Frost reveals to him that his inability to control his powers is the result of a complex he developed about self-control as teenager, rather than a brain injury resulting from a concussion, as he had previously believed. He spends an issue or two in a completely catatonic state, his powers not functioning. He soon recovers enough to move around and lead the team (perhaps even more effectively than usual, with his self-control issues out of the way) and later surprises everyone by revealing (with a point blank blast in the face of his interrogator) that his powers still work, and that he now has full control over them. At the end of the arc, this control fades as the "clarity" he got from Emma's intervention wears off. See Status Quo Is God. He seems to be prone to hitting these when he fails to stop people being hurt. Even prior to joining the X-Men. When he was 12 years old he hit one because he couldn't stop another orphan jumping off of the roof of the orphanage. Seriously. | |

The Glasses Come Off | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_1ad42ecd | comment |
The Glasses Come Off: Given that the glasses used to hold back his Eye Beams, taking them all the way off usually meant something was gonna get broke in a hurry. Cyke's visor, and shades as Scott Summers, are used to control the shape and strength of the blast even when he's actively using his powers. You don't fully understand until you see him take them off all the way and open his eyes fully. When that happens, "something" isn't gonna get broke - everything will get broke. For this reason, it's a weapon of last resort. However, if you absolutely have to get a Sentinel off your lawn, it'll get vaporized. | |

Dead All Along: In Death of X it is revealed Cyclops died very early on, and the "Cyclops" we've been following throughout most of the story is merely a psychic illusion created by Emma Frost. Which explains a lot of why he is taller, younger-looking, and less sure of what he is going to say than before. | |

The Spock: After taking on the reins as the leader, Cyclops becomes the cold and calculating variant. Wolverine and Beast typically played The McCoy to counter balance it. One thing that contributed to the schism was that there was no longer a Jean Grey or Professor Xavier to play the middle man. | |

Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_1dce4748 | comment |
Power Limiter: Cyclops' goggles, which keep his uncontrollable Eye Beams under wraps. If he takes his glasses off completely and opens his eyes fully he can hold off even the Juggernaut (for a little while, anyway) and once atomized a Sentinel. The bad news is that it means destroying everything else in the area too, so he doesn't do it often. | |

Knight in Sour Armor: His character development has largely consisted of him growing more cynical, not without reason. Mostly being let down by people he trusted. Among other things, he was tricked into cheating on his wife, was cheated on by his phoenix-crazed girlfriend, and his father figure kept his little brothers existence from him. | |

Genre Blindness: Pointed out to him by Jamie Madrox when the latter and his team visited Utopia. It was Jamie's contention that humanity at large feared mutants because they could not tell good mutants from evil ones.

Other than that however, Surge is effectively a younger Cyclops, complete with crippling self doubt and a power that needs to be kept in check by an external device (in this case, her gauntlets). Her relationship with X-23 is also starting to mirror that between Scott and Logan, right down to the love triangle. | |

Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_275ca6e1 | comment |
This goes back-and-forth. It's also established that Cyclops's eyes are a portal to a non-Euclidean dimension of pure energy, and that he has limitless amounts of energy to tap into when he opens them, so long as his body withstands it. This has also been combined with the aforementioned solar power in some stories. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Mutants are nearly all gone and there's an evil sentient robot out to destroy them all. Cyclops responds by assembling a black-ops unit to ensure that any threat they face that can't be beaten the traditional way is taken care of, and moving the X-Men into a more paramilitary setting. However, he specifically did so with the plan of these being temporary measures until mutants are at a safe number again and no longer relying solely on his intervention to survive. However and this is somewhat ignored, as well as taking more action to ensure the safety of the remaining mutants, he did considerable amounts of work for human-mutant relations, such as accepting help from non-mutant sources, working closely with San Francisco's mayor to bring peace, and hired a PR agent to help turn public opinion on untrusted individuals such as Magneto around. | |

Messiah Creep / Dark Messiah: After House of M, Cyclops took it upon himself to be the guardian for all the remaining mutants. Eventually this grew into Cyclops doing whatever it took to protect mutant kind. This all comes to a head in AvX, where once he's possessed by the Phoenix, his dedication to making the world safe for mutants causes him to develop A God Am I-like behavior, and repeated attacks by the Avengers drive him off the wall. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: After AVX, also crossing with Reformed, but Rejected. He's not a bad guy by any means, and all he's concerned with now is protecting the new mutants from those who wish to harm them. He's yet to kill anyone doing so, and wants nothing more but to bury the hatchet with his former team and allies so they can work together to honor Xavier's memory. However, the fact that 'those who wish to harm them' often includes trigger-happy police officers who he's forced to fight to deal with them, along with many of his forme team having personal grievances that clouds their judgement (and soils other people's perceptions of him when they tell others about it), he's became SHIELD's number one priority. Subverted though, as the public in general are actually rather supportive of him and see him as a freedom fighter opposing a corrupt institution, while its the superhero community who hate him. After Secret Wars (2015), he became this posthumously. Details were sparse other than "he went crazy and died doing something terrible" until Death of X. There, it was revealed that the bad publicity wasn't even his fault at all. He was one of the first mutants to die from M-Pox, and everything that "he" did afterward was a psychic projection created by a grief-stricken Emma Frost. His younger self tries to rectify this, all the while believing that sassing Blackbolt it a completely legit cause of death. | |

Blessed with Suck: Scott's powers ought to be as controllable as any other energy blaster, but he suffered a concussion in his youth (his parents had pushed him out of a plane when they were attacked by the Shi'ar), which somehow lead to his inability to shut off his powers after they emerged. Emma Frost later removed a mental block to give him control of his powers, since he had apparently been subconsciously keeping his eyes on to ensure he'd never hurt anyone with his powers (her explanation). | |

Conflict Ball | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_3c598f56 | comment |
Conflict Ball: With Captain America in AvX. The fighting started when Captain America turned up on Utopia and told Cyclops that, regardless of the X-Men's opposition, the Avengers were going to take Hope off-world in the event she couldn't control the Phoenix Force. Cyclops responded by optic blasting Captain America off Utopia, and prompting him to call in the rest of the Avengers to start fighting. The entire mess would've been avoided if the two leaders of the superhero and mutant communities had actually talked things over like adults. Though admittedly, Scott did kind of have reason to be suspicious of Cap, since a) he was gambling everything on Hope being able to control the Phoenix and restart Mutantkind, b) Cap was getting his information on the Phoenix from Wolverine, who even the other Avengers (notably Spider-Man) suspected was going to try and kill Hope before she could become the Phoenix - which is exactly what he tried to do as soon as he got the chance. | |

Break the Cutie: Let's see: Parents die at a young age, sent to an Orphanage of Fear, has his younger brother taken away from him, almost kills several people when his power activates, taken in by an abusive criminal who he is forced to kill, his girlfriend dies, then he meets a woman who looks just like his girlfriend, he marries her, then his girlfriend comes back from the dead, he leaves his first wife who then tries to cause hell on earth in revenge and then she dies, his second wife leaves him, he gets possessed by Apocalypse, his therapist takes advantage of his mental state to have an affair with him, and this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Then when he seems to have found happiness with the therapist who took advantage of him she has a mental breakdown trying to kill everyone, then he gets tortured by an alien after suffocating in space, then his people that he has been trying to protect and whose rights he has been fighting for gets decimated, then his son and adopted granddaughter who might save everyone go missing in the timestream, then someone drops the Phoenix on him, then his girlfriend cheats on him which she had done before but this time she tells him, while they are both high on the Phoenix and getting invaded by his former friends, and then he kills his father figure, which causes him to have an emotional breakdown and start a school that is more or less a terrorist cell, then he is faced with his younger self and the younger version of his wife at the exact age when he first fell in love with her and she despises him, then a few weeks later she hits on him, then he gives up the school and goes on to die from M-pox. After that his legacy somehow becomes "guy who is worse than Hitler and started a war with the Inhumans". Let's face it: There are days when it seems that the universe exists just to screw with Scott Summers | |

"That would assume I only have twenty-six plans." | |

Immune to Mind Control | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_54a20968 | comment |
Immune to Mind Control: Cyclops was raised by the most powerful telepath in the world, married a second telepath (trained by the first), and dated a third telepath after his wife died. He's also has been possessed by several quasi-demonic evil entities on numerous occasions. As a result, he has built up amazing psychic blocks and resistance over years of training, to the point where he was able to take in a shard of The Void and lock it in a room in his mind, where it has yet to be heard from again. He was also able to keep a leash on the Phoenix Force for a surprisingly long time until The Avengers forced him to go full-on Dark Phoenix. | |

Badass Family: His entire family, including his father Chris (Corsair), his brothers Alex (Havok) and Gabriel (Vulcan), his two wives Madelyne Pryor and Jean Grey, his children Nathan (Cable), Rachel Summers (the second Phoenix/Marvel Girl) and Nate (X-Man) and his adopted granddaughter the mutant messiah Hope Summers. This could also extend to Scott's other relatives. | |

I Am Not Left-Handed | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_56c55ed8 | comment |
I Am Not Left-Handed: Cyclops's glasses/goggles don't just let him control his powers, they also limit them. If he's willing to take his visor off for even a few seconds, you're in trouble. In Astonishing X-Men, Cyclops had his powers psychically de-activated by Emma Frost and had been captured and tortured by an alien warlord. When he finally tells the warlord that the X-Men's secret weapon "Leviathan", was completely fictional (thus throwing out any reason to keep him alive), he starts laughing. The warlord attacks him, demanding to know what else he's been lying about. Cue the eye beams. Another instance of this is in the first volume of Ultimate X-Men. Cyclops is being restrained by a Sentinel because it has figured out that he operates his optic blasts by pressing a button on the side of his visor. Scott then reveals that he can also do it by snapping his fingers. | |

Power Incontinence | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_571a3c67 | comment |
Power Incontinence: Cyclops, without his trademark visor he wears as part of his costume, or a pair of ruby quartz glasses out of costume, would be firing his Eye Beams 24/7. (In fact, he is firing them 24/7, they're just being blocked.) This limitation was said to be a mental block, and was fixed by Emma Frost for a short while. After that he either decides that he is better off with the mental block, or whatever she did with his brain wore off. Used to be from having hit his head in the accident that killed his parents. There was a throwaway scene in one of the comics shortly after Wolverine lost his Adamantium (and briefly regressed to a neanderthallic state) where Cyclops hit his head in some kind of rune-covered pit, and a caption stated, "A subtle change is worked in an area of his brain damaged so long ago", so it's possible both explanations are correct. After the events of AvX, the visor can't block his eyebeams anymore. The only thing that can are his own eyelids. | |

Required Secondary Powers | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_5b6e57e | comment |
Required Secondary Powers: Scott needs to wear a visor or he'll blast everything in front of him whenever he has his eyes open. Also, Newton's third law means that Scott needs abnormally strong neck muscles or his neck will get broken by the recoil. Although it's implied that any force coming directly from his blasts is absorbed by his body. He's immune to his own beams so he doesn't end up shooting through his eyelids. | |

The Leader | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_60e49895 | comment |
The Leader: Scott is the leader of the Original X-Men team. Scott categorizes as Type I, II, III, and IV. More than just the original team, Scott is, with the possible exception of Captain America, the most capable team leader in the Marvel 616 Universe, and probably more closely associated with team leadership than anyone in Marvel or DC comics. This is demonstrated in House of M when the heroes who have received their memory back (including several non-X-Men) all turn to Scott for orders. | |

That doesn't mean however that he is fine with every hard descision he made. | |

Fiction Isn't Fair | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_66e8263 | comment |
Fiction Isn't Fair: Post-Avengers Versus X Men, a number of writers, particularly Brian Michael Bendis, would acknowledge the fan sentiment that he was being persecuted for things that most Marvel heroes would be (and have been) Easily Forgiven for, complete with having the more idealistic O5 X-Men side with him over Wolverine and allowing Cyclops to make fairly well reasoned arguments for himself. He would still be treated like garbage by the majority of superheroes though, making it an example of this trope. | |

Godzilla Threshold: As noted elsewhere, any time he willingly takes off his glasses or visor.

Depending on the Writer Scott ranges from Reformed, but Rejected Atoner who's going about his own way of carrying on Xavier's legacy to a blame shifter who refuses to face up to his crimes. Either way, post AvX-storylines has seen him as being an outlaw. | |

Still the Leader: Storm challenged Cyclops to personal combat to determine who would lead the team, partly to force him to focus on his wife instead of bearing the responsibility of the X-Men. Storm won and took charge while Cyclops retired to lead a civilian life. However, he's always been in overall command since he rejoined the X-Men several years later. Technically, Storm outranked him for the better part of 20 years, until Xavier made Cyke and Emma Frost the co-headmasters while he was away for some time. He later went on to become the leader of the entirety of mutantkind for a while. | |

He's also able to remember every action he makes after losing his glasses so to retrace his steps and retrieve them. According to Emma Frost in an issue of Brubaker's Uncanny X-Men, Scott is always analyzing everything and everyone in the vicinity, and how he'd fight them. Including two dinosaurs he's looking at at that very moment. It's one of the reasons she loves him. | |

Back from the Dead | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: He's returned from the dead twice: In Phoenix Resurrection, he was temporarily resurrected (and then promptly killed off) as an attempt by the Phoenix to get Jean to bond with it again. Then in Extermination at the end of the story. After the original five X-Men return to the past, setting them back to normal, it's revealed that the original Cyclops is back from the dead. Retaining the memories of his time-displaced teenage self. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Way back when, Scott was utterly stiff on the job, but capable of if not relaxing then at least acting like a normal person, even cracking the occasional joke (comparing Nightcrawler to Chewbacca when the subject of seeing Star Wars came up). Several decades of trauma later... not so much. After Messiah Complex, is more callous and more ruthless than before. Honestly, it's like the universe is telling him to be a jerk or let mutants die off horribly. Still yet, every time he does do something truly questionable, he'll admit it's wrong and apologise eventually. He may have used X-23 as a weapon, but she was completely there of her own free will, and he promised to never ask her to do that again when it was over. | |

You Remind Me of X: After Cyclops says that Phoenix could be used to "put the world back on track", Magneto points that Cyclops is starting to sound like him. It turns out this is a Berserk Button for Cyclops when this happens one too many times. For a while, people have been saying this to him when he gets particularly protective of mutant kind, and this bit is essentially him spitting back. But, Scott was Phoenix powered and as such insane, he replies that the difference is "he's winning". | |

Not So Different: Although he was always Xavier's top student, over time his personality and methods actually came more and more to align with Magneto's. Following the Schism, Xavier remained teaching under Wolverine's leadership while Magneto allied with Cyclops' team. Even the "Cyclops Was Right" meme is a derivative of "Magneto was Right." | |

Unlucky Everydude: Cyclops is not unattractive – physically. His Sugar and Ice personality can make him off-putting to certain women – women who aren't telepathic, that is, including female students who develop crushes on him. Telepaths can see through his act and know what he's really like. Wolverine chews him out for not seeing how his mysterious facade drives women crazy trying to crack his shell. He sarcastically acknowledges that he is good-looking, but fails to understand the psychological component to his attractiveness. That or he realizes it is better for him not to know. | |

The Law of Power Proportionate to Effort | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_a9dcf07 | comment |
The Law of Power Proportionate to Effort: Invoked. He has Eye Beams with the power to destroy mountains that appear whenever he opens his eyes. Using this power is based on a gesture (opening his eyes), but to stop that from becoming broken, he not only has Power Incontinence, but two different energy sources for these beams are introduced to provide limits. One energy source says that Cyclops absorbs sunlight and metabolizes it. Therefore, using his stored up energy fatigues him very quickly, which explains why he always looks as if he's straining to use his abilities. The other energy source says that his energy comes from "a non-Euclidean dimension of limitless energy", and that his eyes are portals to this dimension. The energy passing through his body causes him a great deal of stress, and that also explains why he seems to visibly struggle to use his powers. | |

Abusive Parents: While he was not biologically Scott's father and instead a foster father (and an illegal one at that), Jack Winters treated him as more of a weapon than a child and physically abused him. To a lesser extent, Charles Xavier's treatment of him drifts into this, too, being emotionally distant, forcing multiple hard jobs on him from the age of 15–16, including killing his previous foster father, and being trigger happy with erasing his memories, although some people might argue his treatment was worse than Jack's because of the messing around in Scott's brain. | |

I Did What I Had to Do: Ever since M-Day, Scott's been put in charge of the remaining mutants, and he's had to adapt to that. If he doesn't do everything within his power, no matter how questionable, every mutant will die. To his credit, however, he also took a more proactive approach to building relations between humans and mutants, and was working closely with the Mayor of San Francisco to ensure peace between mutants and the people of San Fran, including hiring a PR agent to help ensure the X-Men look heroic. | |

Phlebotinum Battery | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_b9619eff | comment |
Phlebotinum Battery: Cyclops' red optic blasts are charged by solar power. In a pinch they can be charged by Storm's lightning (which turns them white) but it is not at all pleasant for him. This goes back-and-forth. It's also established that Cyclops's eyes are a portal to a non-Euclidean dimension of pure energy, and that he has limitless amounts of energy to tap into when he opens them, so long as his body withstands it. This has also been combined with the aforementioned solar power in some stories. | |

Berserk Button | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
It turns out this is a Berserk Button for Cyclops when this happens one too many times. For a while, people have been saying this to him when he gets particularly protective of mutant kind, and this bit is essentially him spitting back. But, Scott was Phoenix powered and as such insane, he replies that the difference is "he's winning". | |

Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male: Arguably a victim of this. Done by his ex-wife Madelyne Pryor (and a clone of Jean Grey) when Scott is in relationship with Emma after Jean's death in New X-Men. Maddie psionically impersonates Emma and has virtual sex with Scott, without him realizing the deception at first. When Jean wouldn't take his PTSD seriously in New X-Men, he asks Emma for help. She persuades him that having sex with her while she pretends to be Jean will cure him. | |

Child Soldiers | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_c9c756a8 | comment |
Child Soldiers: Scott went from being orphaned in a traumatic military action (Shi'ar) to being trained to lead a secret army, all before becoming an adult. His recent treatment of the remaining mutants (especially minors) drifts into this trope as well. Recent X-Men author Kieron Gillen even cited this characteristic as his central motivation for the character. His entire mentality is that of a soldier. He was raised to be a soldier, looks at life from a soldier's perspective, and acts like a military man at all times. In First Class, he even admits that had it not been for his power being uncontrollable, he would have likely enlisted once he was old enough. Its notable that his father was an air force pilot, and in the Film Universe, Alex was in a military prison when Xavier found him. It runs in the family. | |

BlindWithoutThem | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_cb640854 | comment |
Blind Without Them: Scott is seen as a special case. Though technically able to see without his ruby-quartz glasses, he cannot turn off the concussive beams that continually shoot from his eyes. He is thus forced to keep his eyes shut in order to keep from destroying everything around him. He can therefore be said to be "voluntarily blind" in the same way that the Inhuman's Black Bolt (whose voice is a similarly uncontrollable sonic weapon) is often said to be "voluntarily mute". They are contained because his body is immune to his own power: The beams which flow from his eyes flow right back in to his eyelids with no loss of energy. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: He recently assembled a black ops/wetwork team, over the objections of the homicidal Anti-Hero he orders to lead it, and hides it from the X-Men at large because the "X-Men do not kill." Later Wolverine calls him out on his willingness to allow children to fight on the front lines (though in his defense, that's not that much different then how the X-Men have been since they were first formed. Logan's comments were also made with X-23 in mind, who he was trying to help find a normal life of not being a Living Weapon). This is pretty much how Scott reacts when ever somebody tells him he's acting like Magneto. Taken to extreme lengths with everyone's reaction to finding out Scott assembled the X-Force, a black ops team with the most dangerous mutants to go and kill the X-Men's most deadly enemies who could possibly eradicate the last of the mutants. What they (and sadly some fans) fail to notice is that that is exactly what has prevented every last mutant on earth from being eradicated. Note that the second that Bastion and the Purifiers are defeated, Scott disbands the team since they won't be up against anyone as dangerous as them in the meantime. | |

The Chessmaster: He's the current page image, and as you might imagine, they don't call him "The General of the Mutants" for nothing. The Curse of the Mutants story arc exemplifies this beautifully. Post-House of M, this has become one of Scott's most defining characteristics. It ultimately ends up become deconstructed because his teammates, most notably Wolverine and Beast, end up resenting Scott for treating them like chess pieces. | |

Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: Generally subverted, Scott tends not to fare well in parallel universes, typically ending up evil or dead or evil and dead or just shunted aside to allow a more marketable character the spotlight. You can play a drinking game reading the original run of Exiles: sip your drink every time he appears without dialogue, take a shot every time somebody else is the leader of the X-Men, take two every time he dies. You’ll be blind drunk by the time Hyperion shows up. | |

Totalitarian Utilitarian | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_dd48b81d | comment |
Totalitarian Utilitarian: Subverted. Scott isn't a villain, but fits more of the antihero archetype. However, Scott often resorts to going to extremes and making tough decisions to preserve the life of the mutant race. He always wants the best possible for the mutants and wants the mutant race to be respected, not feared. In order for Scott to achieve his goals for the greater good of his race, he has had to resort to some morally questionable decisions and actions. | |

The Charmer | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_e4bb68b8 | comment |
The Charmer: Scott has a lot of charisma and therefore ends up attracting many members of the opposite sex. He's unfortunately unable to maintain relationships with the ones he attracts though; Scott may attract the ladies easily but man, does he have a bad track record with women. Its not completely his fault though, after-all Maddy and him were having problems prior to him leaving (and he intended to and did eventually return to her, only to find her gone), while Jean was at the time of his 'psychic affair' (which was a case of his therapist, Emma Frost, taking advantage of him) contemplating cheating on him with Logan. He's dated other women too, but not nearly as seriously as these two (with exception of Emma, though their breakup has been far more amicable). | |

Cyke's visor, and shades as Scott Summers, are used to control the shape and strength of the blast even when he's actively using his powers. You don't fully understand until you see him take them off all the way and open his eyes fully. When that happens, "something" isn't gonna get broke - everything will get broke. For this reason, it's a weapon of last resort. However, if you absolutely have to get a Sentinel off your lawn, it'll get vaporized. | |

Ambiguous Disorder | |
Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_e8cfde67 | comment |
Ambiguous Disorder: Scott tends to be paranoid and has difficulty expressing emotions. It's clear that he has some type of disorder, but there has been no confirmation of what in canon. One of his most consistent character flaws is his persistent codependency; he is unable to function outside a relationship. Whenever Jean dies, he becomes an utter emotional wreck and walks away from his responsibilities as an X-Man. This has yet to be discussed within the books. | |

He's played Norman Osborn, the Vampire Nation, Dracula (who he used in his plan to take down the vampire nation) and multiple commanders of invading alien races with no trouble whatsoever. He's even good enough to give Captain America, the master strategist in the Marvel Universe, the run-around during Avengers vs X-Men. | |

Promotion to Parent: He didn't have to raise his younger brother, but it's been acknowledged that Havok wouldn't be so dependent on him (nor Cyclops so eager to save him from himself) if their parents hadn't been abducted by aliens. Following Xavier stepping down, he basically becomes this to the entire Mutant race. However, as its been revealed Xavier did some questionable things behind the scenes, its showed that Cyclops has done the same, only difference being that now we see first hand as he does them. | |

Color Blind Confusion: It's not brought up often, but Cyclops is effectively color blind as a result of the ruby quartz visor that's used to keep his eye beams from destroying everything tinting everything a shade of red. How he's able to fly the Blackbird isn't explicitly stated, though it's likely the controls have been calibrated so he can see them. | |

Cyclops (Comic Book) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Scott's Eye Beams, which have had competing explanations over the years. Originally lasers and later "force blasts", the explanation for why Scott's body didn't suffer any recoil when unleashing that much force became that the blasts originated from a "non-Einsteinian" dimension or universe. Explanations as to how Scott can make his blasts reflect off of walls like lasers off of mirrors or how he can use them to cushion his body when falling (that is, recoil suddenly being a thing when useful) tend to be ignored. | |

Will They or Won't They?: Since 1963, Scott Summers Jean Grey live in a constant cycle where they're unsure whether a relationship is a good idea or they should stay just friends, they get together, live happy for a while until one of them dies temporarily or something makes them break up, and the cycle begins anew. In All-New X-Men, their time-displaced teenager counterparts (nicknamed Tyke and Jeen by fans) are stuck in the "unresolved sexual tension" phase due to this. | |

Interrupted Cooldown Hug: In The Dark Phoenix Saga. Near the climax, Scott is talking Dark Phoenix down, trying to appeal to Jean's better nature with The Power of Love, with her face getting noticeably less inhuman and softer... until Professor Xavier mind-blasts her from behind, and she returns to full-fledged psychosis. This turns out to be just the way to calm the phoenix. Scott does it to Jean in Phoenix:Endsong. Wanda does it to Hope in AvX. Xavier tries to do it to Scott in AvX, but goes about it in the wrong way. | |
