"I love tortured heroes - and he was tortured because he couldn't control his power."
- Stan Lee, comic book writer and creator of Cyclops

Cyclops, also known as Scott Summers or Slim, first appeared in the X-Men comic books in 1963. He is a human mutant able to emit energy beams called optic blasts from his eyes. He wears special goggles that allow him to control these beams.

Scott became an orphan when aliens attacked an airplane and his parents were killed. They placed him and his brother in the only parachute, saving their lives.

When his powers began to manifest, endangering people when he inadvertently destroyed a construction crane, he fled the orphanage. He was the first of the X-Men recruited by Professor Charles Xavier.
