It incorporates two longitudinally mounted flat lenses which can lever inward providing a constantly variable exit slot of 0 inches to .79 inches in height and a constant width of 5.7 inches. The inverted clam-shell mechanism is operated by a twin system of miniature electrical motors. As a safety factor their is a constant positive closing pressure provided by springs. The mask itself is made of high-impact plastic. There is an overriding finger-operated control mechanism on either side of the mask, and normal operation is through a flat micro-switch installed in the thumb of either glove.[/hider]

[hider=Powers][i][b]Optic Energy Blasts:[/b][/i] Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's eyes are no longer the complex organic jelly that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. Instead, they are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinium universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinium 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-blast seems to be focused by his mind's psionic field with the same autonomic function that regulated his oriinal 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 2 pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam 4 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 degree measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding this 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 degree, 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 constantly), 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. [/hider]

[i][b]History:[/b][/i] When Scott was just a little boy, his world was turned upside down. On what was meant to be a routine flight alongside her air-force parents and little sib' Alex, a bright flash heralded the snuffing out of the normal future this family thought it had in store. With the airplane's controls failing, a crying mother lashed her two children together in the only available parachute and sent them out into the stormy night. When Scott Summers woke up, it was in a hospital, weeks later, and he had gone from a blissful child to an amnesiac orphan in short order.

Heavily traumatized, the boy was unable to accept that his parents and brother were gone, that he had no memory of losing them, that he could barely remember their faces, their names. The Doctor overseeing his case, Essex, took a curious amount of interest in him, and kept watch over Scott. After a few weeks, a dream hit him. He and Alex, falling away from flames, and his eyes lit up, shooting fire and force, slowing his descent. When he came to, all he knew was fire and smoke - the same optic blasts, now rendered uncontrollable by the damage he'd suffered in his fall, had torn the upper floor of the hospital apart. Again his world and his mind fell into darkness.

When he awoke, it was a year later, and he'd gone from the west coast to the midwest, placed in a Foundling's Home in Nebraska. Here, Scott was overseen by the reclusive Dr. Millbury, who put his charges through test after test in an effort to gauge 'special development'. During his time here, he was constantly bullied by the boy with whom he shared a bunk, and was constantly getting into fights. As time wore on, she began to have headaches, and Millbury called in a specialist, who diagnosed him with a rare form of macular degeneration and prescribed the use of a specialized set of lenses constructed from a rare ruby quartz matrix.

During a group outing, a fight with one of the other orphans lead to Scotts powers triggering, a lash of red energy blasting from his eyes and knocking out the support struts on a nearby crane. As the debris cascaded down towards a crowd of terrified bystanders, he let her powers lose again, obliterating the rest of the falling crane and saving everyone. Convinced he'd attacked them all, the crowd began to froth into a mob, and Scott escaped on foot, finding escape on a freight train heading east.

On his own, Scott fell in with a group of thieves running a racket in Pennsylvania. It was here he fell under the sway of Jack "the Diamond" Winters, a local bookie, who raised the teenager from then on, instilling in him a sense of bullying street 'code' and using him as a tool of extortion and intimidation, all the while hammering compliance into him with gaslighting and emotional abuse. Eventualy, Jack made a misstep, and was encroached upon by the FBI. Caught red-handed in a sting, Jack and Scott were separated, and Scott was brought in by the FBI, but instead of incarceration, he was visited by a very interesting person; the geneticist Charles Xavier.

Xavier took Scott and set about teaching him that he had more value than he attributed to himself - something he is to this day working on - and teaching him about the coming storm that faced all of humanity. He saw the isolated instances of violence like the one he'd experienced and knew they'd only increase as people like the two of them became increasingly common and visible. Though it took some finishing, he eventually won over his confidence and got him to listen to his way of thinking. He followed Xavier around as this new father figure began to assemble other youth in revolt and training them, both mentally and physically, to protect humanity. "The time will come," he would say, "when those with extraordinary power and without responsibility will use their gifts for the worst possible ends. We must combat this, and show the world that people like us will always be more a force for good than ever for evil."

After the incident in China, the Professor named Scott the field leader of the X-Men, citing his performance and demeanor. He had a crisis of faith, briefly following, in which he considered leaving all together, unsure of his ability to lead such an endeavor, but was ultimately reassured by his friends and squadmates, and decided to stay on. 

Unfortnunately, the X-men would be forced to disband. Being virtual prisoners in S.H.I.E.L.D's Index was the last thing Proffesor Xavier wished for his students, so he had them go off the grid as soon as possible. Leaving Westechester behind, Scott traveled to Anchorage in Alaska, where he reunited with his only living relatives, his grandparents. Philip and Deborah Summers owned North Star Airways, a shipping company in which Scott begun working a part-time job as a bush pilot while completing his schooling. In the intervening years, Cyclops has watched and studied every happening, from Ultrons rise to the Inhuman Breakout and the Superhuman Civil War...but all of them from the sidelines. Yet he still awaits, preparing both his mind and body for the day that the Proffesor finally makes the call...[/hider]
