[color=firebrick][b]Full Name[/b][/color][hr] 
Scott Summers

[color=firebrick][b]Powers/Abilities[/b][/color][hr] 
Scott has the ability to project a powerful beam of concussive force from his eyes. As a result of injuries caused by falling from the plane during his childhood, Scott is unable to control his optic blasts, relying on his lenses of ruby-quartz to be able to see normally. 

[color=firebrick][b]Origin and Backstory [/b][/color][hr]
Scott Summers did not have the world’s best childhood. Scott was on a flight with his parents and little brother Alex when their plane suddenly found itself erupting into flames. His father, Christopher Summers, knew they only had one parachute onboard and did what any father would do. He strapped Alex and the parachute to Scott and pushed them to safety. The landing was rough, but Scott escaped with just a concussion. However, the sight of seeing his parents plane go up in flames left an even deeper scar. Things only worsened when the boys became wards of the state and were separated when Alex was adopted, and Scott sent to an orphanage in Nebraska.
 
It was during this time that his mutant abilities manifested. After bumping into a wall, Scott's eyes began to hurt. Although he was able to see fine at first, he was unable to control it, and unaware of what he was doing, Scott opened his eyes. The blast of energy that erupted from them cut through the walls of his school, obliterating anything that fell into its path. It was a miracle that no one was hurt. That's when he came across one of the two men that would change his life forever; Charlies Xavier. Xavier Institute for Gifted Children became Scott's new home over the next few years. He excelled at his studies, and soon learnt how to control his abilities, using a lens of ruby-quartz to keep his optic blasts at bay. That was when he met Jean. Scott found himself falling in love with Jean Grey from the moment he laid eyes on her. In time the two grew close to one another, forming a relationship.
 
Things weren’t all smooth sailing though. During his time at the Institute, Scott watched first hand the hatred that the rest of the world had for his kind, and he absolutely hated it. At first, he had held strongly to the dream of a better world that Charles had described to him; a world of mutants and humans living together in peace. However, the more he watched on the news of bigotry and racism that mutants received merely for existing, the more his belief in that dream faded. These thoughts were brought forward upon the arrival of Max Eisenhardt, otherwise known as Magneto. An old friend of Charles, Magneto was a firm believer in fighting back against the enemies of Mutantkind, and while Scott may not have agreed with his methods, he couldn’t disagree with the reasons. 

Scott leaped at the chance to do his part upon the creation of X-Force. Taking the name of Cyclops, he fought for the position of the team’s leader, a position Charles’ had been steering him towards for years. Unfortunately, Magneto, the team’s supervisor, had other plans, placing his own son Pietro as the head of the group. This only made Scott more determined to do better, however, did little to solve the ongoing ideological struggle within his head.  

[color=firebrick][b]What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?:[/b][/color][hr]
In recent years in the Marvel Universe, after years of tragedy for mutantkind, Scott Summer’s found himself moving away from Xavier’s ideology of humans and mutants living in peace, becoming a revolutionary (or terrorist), akin to Magneto. I want to see what would happen if Scott found himself succumbing to these thoughts at an earlier stage in his life, and how that would affect the X-men. With both Xavier and Magneto acting as mentors to the X-men (or X-force) in season 1, I feel it would be interesting to see how’d Scott would interact in such an environment.

[color=pink]“Are you going to tell me what’s wrong Scott, or am I just going to have to read your mind?”[/color]

Jean’s words broke Scott Summers free from his thoughts, returning him to one of the mansion’s various parlour rooms. The two of them were alone sat on a cushioned bay window seat, looking out over the mansion’s grounds. It was late afternoon outside, yet due to the time of year, the sun was already beginning to set, painting the skyline into a beautiful tapestry of oranges and blues. Yet for the young mutant, this was an entirely different sight, his ruby quartz glasses soaking everything with a deep tinge of red. Such a sight would have appeared incredibly alien to most people, although in the last few years such a thing was Scott’s new life. It was normal.

Jean was perched opposite him in the bay window, legs crossed, a large book resting in her lap. The two often sat like this; Jean with a book in her hands, and Scott binging through episodes of House of Cards or other like-minded shows. Not talking to one another, just enjoying each other’s company in silence, save for the sound of the tv in the background. However now she was looking directly at him.

Following her gaze, he moved his eyes down to the cushion he was clutching in his hands. Absentmindedly he had been picking one of its tassels to pieces, with a pile of thread forming all over his legs.

[color=firebrick]“That obvious, huh?”[/color] She giggled as Scott moved quickly to brush his legs clean. 

[color=pink]“I mean, either that or I missed a memo from the Professor about him wanting to redecorate.”[/color] Making her voice softer, she rested her hand reassuringly onto his arm. [color=pink]“Is it Pietro again?”[/color]

Scott shifted uncomfortably as she said their teammate’s name. It was a touchy subject for him. Scott had been arguing with the professor for months, trying to convince him to let them head out into the field to do some good. Magneto’s arrival seemed to finally change Charles’ mind, yet instead of Scott being at the helm of the newly formed squad, it had been Quicksilver. And it was very clear that the two did not see eye to eye on a great many things. 

[color=firebrick]“I just… I just still don’t get why he’s in charge. The guy’s basically a budget Flash.”[/color]

[color=pink]“You do have to admit that the guy does know how to lead a team.“[/color]

[color=firebrick]“Only because his dad is basically G.I. Joe with magnet powers. His nursey was probably Magneto’s old briefing room.”[/color]

The two erupted into laughter, both unable to cope with the image forming into their minds However this was soon short-lived as the sound of the television caught both of their attention. Images of a protect, interluded with shots of rioting individuals flashed across the screen, the anchor man’s voice echoing over them.

“A peaceful protect led by the mutant community has once against erupted into riots in downtown Manhattan this afternoon, once again prompting discussions about what many refer to as, The Mutant Problem. Senator Kelley gave the following statement.”

From his seat, Scott’s laughter died out, with anger washing over his face. 

[color=firebrick]“I’m not watching this.”[/color] Scott declared as he arched forward, preparing to rise from his spot. Instantly Jean pulled him back down, stopping him.

[color=pink]“Let me.”[/color]

With a flick of her hand, the television’s remoted lifted from its place on the coffee table in the centre of the room and glided towards them. Grabbing it out of the air, she pressed the relevant button, putting the room back into silence. The two looked at one another, the reassuring smile upon Jean’s face calming Scott down. The two stared at each other for several seconds, before Scott finally broke.

[color=firebrick]“That is without a doubt, the most impressive thing you have ever done!”[/color] Scott jested, as he moved forward wrapping his arms around his girlfriend.

[color=pink]“Oh, shut up you.”[/color] She laughed as Scott came in for an embrace, pulling him down to her, the rest of her words becoming lost against his mouth.

[color=silver]“Come on Summers, at least give her a chance to breathe.”[/color]

The two of them broke apart instantly, throwing each other to separate ends of the bay window, both of their faces now as red as Scott’s glasses. The look on Pietro Maximoff’s face as he stood there before them was that of a kid on Christmas morning. 

[color=firebrick]“What do you want Pietro?”[/color] Scott demanded as he adjusted his shades, moving his body so his posture was more physically imposing than of someone who had just been caught out unexpectantly. Pietro didn’t seem to care and just continued to smirk.

[color=silver]“We’ve got a mission. Father and the Professor want us all suited up in the briefing room in five.”[/color] Before either Scott or Jean could issue a response, the white-haired teenager vanished into a silver blur, the whooshing of air echoing. 

[color=firebrick]“What an absolute…”[/color] Scott began to curse as the two jumped to their feet, only for Pietro to appear before them once more, this time in his costume. 

[color=silver]“By the way, if we’re talking budget superheroes, pretty sure that Superman was shooting lasers out of his eyes first!”[/color] Giving Jean a wink, and a short salute to Scott, the speedster disappeared once more.

[color=firebrick]“They’re optic blasts, for gods sake!”[/color]
