X-Factor (1986) #24

Cyclops, born Scott Summers, is the field leader of the X-Men and Professor Xavier's most devoted student. His mutant eyes emit powerful optic blasts that he cannot control without a ruby quartz visor, making discipline and restraint the defining qualities of his life. Cyclops has evolved from the clean-cut soldier of Xavier's dream into a more complex, morally compromised figure — a general willing to make the hard choices to ensure mutant survival.
