Scott Summers (Earth-21399)

Early Life
Scott Summers is the son of former Air Force pilot and Gulf War veteran Christopher "Corsair" Summers, who lived on a small ranch outside of Anchorage. The Summers family lived a normal life until one fateful day when they were flying home from a family vacation in Christopher's private jet. At some point during the return flight, their jet suffered catastrophic engine damage, and Scott was forced to jump alongside his younger brother, Alex.

Neither of their parents' bodies were recovered from the wreckage. Scott suffered a minor brain injury in the fall due to their overburdened parachute sustaining damage, while Alex was relatively unharmed.

Scott and Alex were subsequently sent off to an orphanage. During their stay, Scott started suffering severe headaches and eye strain, which made him a target for bullying by one of the other boys at the orphanage. This continued until the day Scott's mutation finally manifested and he tore the orphanage apart with his optic blasts. The administrator attempted to contact the government and have Scott taken away from Alex, though both were picked up by Charles Xavier and Henry McCoy in their Worthington & Sons aircraft before this could happen.

The Xavier Institute
Scott's mutant manifest was the catalyst for the mutant panics in the United States, since it occurred publicly. For the sake of Alex's safety, Scott agreed to stay at the Xavier Institute under the alias "Eric Redding". During his stay at the Institute, McCoy developed a pair of ruby quartz sunglasses to control Scott's optic beam powers, while Scott himself struck up a friendship with fellow student Jean Grey. Alex's mutation later manifested inside the Institute during a bit of roughhousing with Scott in the gymnasium.
