Scott Summers Brought to the school as an angry product of the foster care system after the death of his parents in a plane crash, Scott was groomed as leader of the fledgling X-Men team and as joint-headmaster (with Ororo Munroe) of the school. His world was shattered with the apparent death of long-time love Jean Grey and over the next few years he gradually pieced things back together, discovering his younger brother Alex and his grandparents were alive and developing an on-again, off-again relationship with British telepath Betsy Braddock. Jean's return changed everything and eventually the two married. In October 2006 he lost an eye, the unexpected side-effect being that he finally gained control of his optic blasts and no longer needed the trademark ruby quartz visor.
