scott summers has natural superpowers because he is a mutant. his mutant power is to be able to shoot powerful red beams out of his eyes. his beams can knock down large objects, but do not produce heat like a laser. scott needs special glasses or a visor to control his beams because of a head injury. with his visor, scott can change the size and power of his beams, from very wide and strong to very focused. scott is also able to do complicated math in his head to know the angles he needs to bounce his beams just right. outside of his mutant powers, scott is a very good tactical leader and is good with children.
