The beams have the appearance of red light (i.e., electromagnetic radiation in a red wavelength); however, they do not give off heat and instead deliver concussive force without recoil. The beams are tremendously powerful and can be used to rupture steel plates and pulverize rock.  He is able to control the width, height and intensity of the beam allowing to gain either a wider target range, or focus the beam to tightly enough to punch a hole through a coin.  He has great control and accuracy of this and is even able to reflect it off certain objects and surfaces with a very high degree of success.  His spacial awareness is excellent, assisting in this aspect of his fighting, but also in hand to hand as well as flying, and battlefield command.  All fields which Scott excels at and is scene as one the most talented (or dangerous on depending on your point of view) leaders in the world.<br/><br/><strong>Training and Equipment:</strong>     <br/>Having been trained by the X-men Scott is in peak physical condition and is a rather large threat even without his powers.  A situation he has had to face a few times before and still come out successful.  He is able to survive in harsh conditions, knowing how to keep alive and save despite external factors.  He has use of all X-men equipment prior to the attack on earth, and now has use of all equipment and technology at the back up base.  Nothing near as great as the Black Bird (which was destroyed), but enough to keep alive in these tough times.  Though not the exact fight he prepared for near his entire life, he has be ready for <em>a</em> fight.<br/><br/><strong>Background and History:</strong> <br/>Scott was one of the original X-men and was trained by Professor X to live and survive in a world that both feared and hated him.  Scott is a natural leader and took command of the group early, showing his skills very early on in training to gain such rank.  He kept it throughout the adventures of the X-men had retained it to this day in some form or another.  For despite all the events that have taken place over the years he has remained a influential force in nearly all mutant politics and major events.  Some see him as the perfect leader for the mutant population, others see him as threat that must be gotten rid of as soon as possible.  Despite your actual opinion, one must always note that Scott Summer is a force to reckoned with.<br/></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://images2.fanpop.com/images/quiz/202000/202297_1241226902076_160.jpg?v=1241226988)</div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: andale mono;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/><strong>Faults and Weaknesses:</strong><br/>Pride is Scott's biggest weakness.  When he thinks an action right, there is nothing in the world that can stop him or change he his mind.  He has more than once come in conflict with very close friends over matters and has been entirely unwilling to back down or comprimse despite all possible negotiation.  Besides that rather large character flaw, Scott is also not perfect, and has made mistakes before that have cost his friends lives.  A lot of these memories haunt him, and it is one of his earliest memories (or rather a series of childhood events) that make he can not open his eyes without his optical blast coming forth.  This a psychosomatic issue, not a physical one, and until Scott comes to terms with all the tragic events in his life, he will never be in full control of his power.  Do to his pride, odds are he will never truly confront his demons. <br/>     <br/><strong>Current Relations and Activity:</strong><br/>Scott was outside the school when the attack took place, he in the surrounding woods on a simple morning run.  Though away from the main explosion, Scott was caught under a series of tree's.  Stuck there he had to blast his way out  using his powers, this resulted in further damage to his left arm which had been crushed in the first assault.  It is more than likely completely broken and will require rather skilled hands to put back in proper place.<br/><br/>He is staggering through the woods now, he having gone back to the school and found it destroyed, his plan get to one of the X-men secure locations.  There is one just outside New York and that is where he is headed.</span></span></div>
