The new and improved Cyclops, a bit more durable with his Secondary Mutation (http://marvel.wikia.com/Secondary_Mutation) and much stronger optic blasts. It only makes sense that over time, Scott would get a bit more potent and given the number of bizarre extraterrestrial and extradimensional energies he's been exposed to, to say nothing of the radiation, it's perfectly sensible. As it stands now, his optic blasts are powerful enough to make the Hulk sit down and say ouch, and the energy field gives him the ability to take a superhuman blow at the expense of cutting off his optic blasts while he uses it. A nice power-up, all in all.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Cyclops</span></div><br/><strong>Celeb Visual:</strong>James Marsden<br/>(http://i.imgur.com/eYy2gKz.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Costume:</strong><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/Os5Nw7c.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Scott Summers is an imposing figure, at 6'3" tall with a fit, muscular body, brown hair and eyes and his trademark ruby-quartz visor or sunglasses. The expression on his handsome face is nearly always one of total seriousness.<br/><br/><strong>Player Name:</strong>Eternaldarkness<br/><strong>Superhero/villain:</strong>Superhero<br/><strong>Real Name:</strong>Scott Summers<br/><strong>Age:</strong>Mid-30's<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Base of Operations:</strong>Hulkland<br/><strong>Powers:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Optic Blast</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's powers were originally believed to be ambient energies (such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays) absorbed and metabolized by his body into concussive blasts that are released from his eyes. However, the energy supply of his optic blasts are later revealed to originate from a non-Einsteinian universe that opens up whenever he uses his optic blasts. Cyclops's eyes not only are organs that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The width of Cyclops's eye-blasts seems to be focused by his mind's psionic field with the same autonomic function that regulated his original 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 two pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of fifty feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam four 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 degrees measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding a 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 degrees, 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.<br/><br/>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 constant), 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.<br/><br/>The maximum force of Cyclops' optic blasts are unknown, but a commonly given description is that he can "punch holes through mountains", and he has been shown to rupture a half-inch thick carbon steel plate. During a particular battle, Scott says that he hit Cain Marko (a.k.a. the Juggernaut) with enough power to split a small planet in half, though he may have been indulging in hyperbole. In the Age of Apocalypse dimension, his beams can cut through Adamantium, a previously indestructible metal. In the mainstream continuity of the Marvel Universe, it has also been implied that Cyclops only utilizes a fraction of the energies at his disposal. During the Civil War: X-Men story arc, Cyclops is controlled by another mutant to use his powers at their full magnitude. When directed at the energy-absorbing mutant Bishop, Cyclops was able to overload Bishop's powers in a matter of seconds. When Iron Man measured Cyclops's power while he was powering Bishop, he found the energy output was well over 2 gigawatts, larger than a large nuclear reactor.<br/><br/>Cyclops once fought The Hulk, using a beam blast to stop him, refusing to let the Hulk take Professor Xavier. While it peels off some of the Hulk's skin, he was able to walk towards Cyclops and clench his entire face, effectively containing the blast. His powers have grown since then, and in his second, more recent battle against the Hulk (Bruce banner) as well as several other Hulks, he was able to easily dispatch the lesser hulks with a single optic blast and halt banners forward movement entirely, and nearly stripped Banner down to a skeleton.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spatial Awareness</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cyclops possesses an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen surfaces in the course of one blast, and still hit his intended target accurately. It is his sense of superhumanly enhanced spatial awareness that allows him to perform these feats as well.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Energy Resistance</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cyclops is resistant to the effects of his own powers. This is linked to him being capable of withstanding his brother's ability with no ill effects. This is a result of their close genetics, a quirk of mutant genetics that is common among siblings.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Energy Field</div><div class="spoiler_body">As a result of exposure to numerous energetic forces over his lifetime, including the phoenix force, Cyclops' has undergone a secondary mutation that causes his body to constantly emit low levels of force in waves, which increases his resistance to all forms of injury greatly and causes him to glow the same bright red color as his optic blasts. He can focus on this power, channeling the extradimensional energy that normally fuels his optic blasts into it to further enhance his physical durability such that he can withstand blows up to and including a punch from an enraged hulk before his energy supply is depleted, though he cannot also utilize his optic blasts while empowering his protective shield in this way.</div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Abilities</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Expert Pilot:</strong> Cyclops is an expert pilot of fixed-wing aircraft, a skill he appears to have inherited from his father. It has also been implied that his trigonometric sense improves his abilities in the air.<br/><br/><strong>Master Strategist and Tactician:</strong> Cyclops has spent most of his superhero career as the leader of either the X-Men or X-Factor and has developed exceptional leadership skills. It is notable that regardless of their general attitude towards him, all of the X-Men tend to obey his orders in battle - because they know that he is usually right.<br/><br/><strong>Expert Martial Artist:</strong> Cyclops also has extensive training in martial arts and unarmed combat, holding black belts in judo and aikido. His level of skill is sufficient to defeat six normal men with his eyes closed, and he has in the past held his own against dangerous enemies such as Wolverine and Ghost Rider.<br/><br/><strong>Telepathic Resistance:</strong> Years of being in intimate situations with telepaths have allowed Cyclops to hone his mind to the point where he can resist telepathic intrusion and withhold certain information from high level telepaths.<br/><br/><strong>Strength level</strong><br/>Cyclops possesses the strength of a normal human male who engages in intensive regular exercise and hence is able to press lift at least his own body-weight.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br/>Genetic Flaw: Cyclops is not immune to Vulcan's powers like he is to Havok's.</div></div><br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>With the death of Professor Xavier, Cyclops became the leader of the X-Men in his mentors place, and for the last few years he has traveled across the six territories fighting a guerilla war against the villains, refusing to stand by and accept their rule. His views have changed since the event, and he no longer considers mutant rights to be the most important thing, realizing that with the villains in charge noone is truly free or has any rights. Cyclops is completely unwelcome in the mutant forbidden quarter, as the remaining X-Men consider him a threat to their safety. With Storm long-since retreated to Wakanda, cyclops is now the oldest Still-living original X-Man, and his skill and power are legendary as is his rivalry with Wolverine.<br/><br/><strong>Activity:</strong>Since the Event, Cyclops has been leading a small group of still-free superhumans against the villainous rulers of north america, raiding internment camps and attacking key strategic targets. Cyclops has a bounty on his head, and is wanted dead or alive - preferrably dead- in all six territories.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Cyclops' Visor</div><div class="spoiler_body">Once worn to prevent random power discharge but now used to more precisely shape his optic beams, scotts visor is lined with powdered ruby quartz crystal. 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.</div></div><br/>Cyclops also has ruby quartz sunglasses for times when he needs to be more low-key.<br/><br/>Kevlar Body Armor. In lieu of his x-suit, cyclops wears standard military-issue kevlar body armor designed to reduce harm from ballistic and energy weapons. The armor is a chest -covering piece with impact and energy-resistant hard plastic trauma plates and gloves that contain the micro-switches which he can use to control his visor and knuckles reinforced with the same hard plastics as his body armor to enhance his striking power.
