HistoryEdit
The favorite adopted son of Sinister. Scott Summers has been pampered from the first day his Mutant gift appeared.
- -- Apocalypse

Added by Copycat989When Legion, the mentally unbalanced mutant son of Professor Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller, traveled back in time in an attempt to kill Magneto, he accidentally killed Xavier instead, creating a splinter universe known as the Age of Apocalypse. In that reality, mutants became the dominant species of the planet. Apocalypse rose to power enslaved humanity.
During Apocalypse's take over, Scott's father Christopher would take his wife and two children and attempt to flee to Canada by plane. Along the way, their ship would be intercepted by a Shi'ar craft. Chris would push his sons out of the plane with the only parachute available[1]. Scott and Alex would be found by Sinister who would place the boys in his "orphanage" located in Nebraska[2].
Both Alpha mutants, and both holding the rank of Prelate, Scott and Alex Summers dominated the new mutant aristocracy in Apocalypse's America. Sinister employed the brothers to operate his breeding pens, acting as security, and sometimes performing as a special ops unit the Elite Mutant Force. Scott's ability to show emotional restraint in battle earned him Sinister's favor over Alex, fueling a dangerous rivalry between the brothers. This rivalry worsened when the brothers reunited with their real father - Christopher Summers - but were forced to fight him. Realizing that their father was infected a Brood embryo, Scott would be forced to slay his own father[1].
Sinister's preference for Scott over Alex also spilled over into his genetic experimentation, as with Scott's DNA Sinister planned to create a super-mutant strong enough to oppose Apocalypse. After capturing the X-Man Jean Grey, Sinister believed that he has found Scott's genetic match[3], and used their combined DNA to produce a child, Nate Grey[2].
For a time, Cyclops was a liaison between Apocalypse and the Inhumans, whose leader Maximus had allied himself with Apocalypse and became the new Horseman Death. When the X-Men infiltrated the Blue Area of the moon and were captured, Cyclops would learn that Maximus intended to overthrow Apocalypse. He would aid the young mutant Clarice Ferguson free her comrades. Maximus was killed in the course of the battle[4].
Despite an initial belief in the doctrine of mutant superiority, Scott had reservations about the ethics surrounding his work, primarily in terms of excess. These concerns grew substantially once he met and became enthralled with Jean Grey, a prisoner and "race traitor". Though Scott planned to release her on his own time, Grey's love, Weapon X, broke in and liberated her himself. Scott fought back against Weapon X, severing Weapon X's hand but losing an eye in the process. Jean escaped with Weapon X, who remained an enemy of Scott[5].
Apocalypse's conquest would lead to a cold war between Apocalypse and the Human High Council. The signing of the Kelly Pact would lead to Apocalypse promising to cease his ghastly experiments and cullings, however Apocalypse had no intention of doing so. Cyclops would become critical of his colleague, the geneticist the Dark Beast. When forced to save the Beast and Havok from one of Hank's experiments. He would warn the Dark Beast about continuing his experiments. Sinister would meet with his adopted son and tell him that the time for him to leave was coming soon, much to Scott's dismay[6].
When Weapon X and Jean Grey would resurface, aiding a Sentinel evacuation of humans in North America would remind him of the time he lost his eye at the hands of Logan[5]. Shortly thereafter, a number of mutants would escape from the Slave Pens. Cyclops would lead a squad of the EMF to recapture them and be upset when the others easily slew the escapees, whom Scott believed could be saved. When the corpses were turned over to the Dark Beast, Cyclops would remind him of the limitations that the Kelly Pact put on his experiments. When seeking Sinister for advice, Scott would find that he has been denied access to Sinister's lab. He would return with his brother and the Bedlam Brothers and use the twins powers to get access to the lab, which they would find deserted. They would soon learn that Sinister was destroying all his labs and had abandoned Apocalypse's side[7].
By this point, Scott had secretly began freeing prisoners from the Slave Pens. This would include Nate Grey, whom Scott had no idea was created from his DNA[8]. Utilizing a scrambler device to conceal his identity from security scanners, Scott would be forced to leave Polaris behind during a break out. With Lorna being tortured to learn the truth, Scott would worry that the Dark Beast would succeed in extracting the information. Stopping him from physical extraction, Scott would sneak into the Beast's lab and break Lorna free. Scott would knock out EMF members Northstar and Aurora before turning her over to Valerie Cooper who helped refugees from Apocalypse's world escape. Scott would be unaware that he was being witnessed by his brother who was looking for just such situation to oust his brother from his position as head of the EMF[9].
When Jean Grey would be captured by Havok and turned over to the Dark Beast, he would call his brother on his loyalty to Apocalypse. When Scott would refuse to execute her, Havok, Amazon and Cannonball would knock Scott out and he too would be given to the Dark Beast for experimentation. He and Jean would escape when Jean would use her telekinetic powers to remove his visor to blast Dark Beast. The two would free themselves and set out to free those trapped in the Slave Pens[3].
The two would encounter Nate Grey, who had returned to fulfill his destiny to destroy Apocalypse[10]. They would begin to free the slaves, and stop the EMF from killing any. They would clash with the Guthrie's and Bedlam Brothers. The Bedlam Brothers would sympathize with Cyclops and turn on the Guthrie's and help Scott and Jean escape. They would clash with Havok, and defeat him in battle, leaving him for dead[11].
Leading the slaves outside of Apocalypse's domain and to freedom, Scott and Jean would be unaware that Havok survived and was secretly following them. When Jean would detect the nuclear bombs launched by the Human High Council launched she would attempt to hold them at bay with her telekinetic powers. Jean would be slain by Havok who would also blast his brother as well[12]. While the bombs would ultimately be stopped, and Havok would be slain by Weapon X, Cyclops apparently survived. According to the records of Magneto, Cyclops was incarcerated for his crimes during the reign of Apocalypse[13].
New Apocalypse
After Weapon X volunteered to become the new Apocalypse to spare the world from the Judgement of the Celestials, he started resurrecting deceased mutants using energies from a Celestial Life Seed. Cyclops was one of the first to be resurrected and began working for Weapon X. He soon came into conflict with the Human Resistance.

Powers
Summers is able to absorb ambient energy from his environment such as sunlight and electricity and store it within his cells, metabolizing the energy in order to open a dimensional aperture through his eyes to unleash an exotic form of energy as heatless blasts of concussive force. These blasts were powerful enough to destroy even adamantium, taking off the hand of Weapon X. It is uncertain whether he still has this potential after losing an eye.Strength level
