Scott Summers

Storyline
Scott Summers was the oldest son of Major Christopher Summers, a pilot in the US Air Force and his wife Katherine. One day, Scott and his younger brother Alex were flying home in their father’s private plane when a scout ship from the Shi’ar Empire shot the plane. Their pregnant mother pushed both of them out the door with the only parachute. The plane crashed but unknowingly to the boys their parents had been teleported to the shi’ar ship before it exploded. Scott suffered a severe head injury while landing that damaged the part of his brain that would have given him control over his optic blasts. Both boys were hospitalized. After their recovery, several months later, they were placed in an orphanage , The State Home for Foundlings. They stayed there for several years without anyone ever adopting them, until as a teenager, Scott’s powers erupted. Unable to control them, Scott demolished a crane which crashed without harming anyone. Unfortunatly a mob gathered thinking this boy was trying to kill them. Trying to protect his brother, Alex’s powers manifested for the first time.Scott and Alex fled, terrified but were soon found by doctor Charles Xavier, whom had found them thanks to his newly-built Cerebro. Furthermore Xavier gave Scott ruby-quarts glasses that contained his power.

On the Shi’ar ship however, Christopher tried to escape to help his wife but she was killed in retaliation. The Shi’ar removed the unborn child from the woman’s dead body and placed him in an incubation chamber which accelerated his growth, aging him to a teenager. Sent to earth to become a slave, he escaped and was found by Moira MacTaggert. He had no memory of who he was or where he came from. He claimed his name was Gabriel and chose the codename Kid Vulcan from a roman mythology book. When he was brought to Xavier in the hopes of recovering his memory, Charles recognised the mental imprint as being related to Scott and Alex. The boys knew their mother had been pregnant, but the boy that stood in front of them was older than them, they were confused but couldn’t deny the family resemblance. Soon after, a Shi’ar strike force was dispatched to bring back the runaway slave. Reading their minds, Jean learned of the processus of accelerated-growth and the death of their mother.
