Cyclops

Biography:

Scott Summers was born to Christopher and Katherine Summers. Scott was the middle child; he had an older brother Alex and a younger sister Hope. All three children were separated when their parents were killed in a plane crash.

Origin:

Scott is a mutant, which means he is a carrier of the X-gene that gives mutants their abilities. Scott's ability surfaced when he was fifteen, and he started having bad headaches. One day, a powerful concussive beam of red energy shot out of Scott's eyes, destroying the orphanage bathroom. For an unknown reason, Scott lacks the ability to control his power, and must either wear special sunglasses or a visor; both gifted to him by his father figure--Professor Charles Xavier.

Found by Xavier:

Shortly after his powers emerged, Scott was visited by Professor Xavier at the orphanage. Xavier offered Scott a place at his school for mutants in Massachusetts. Scott accepted, and joined Xavier at his Institute.
