History Edit
Youth Edit
When Scott was a boy growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, his father, USAF Major Christopher Summers, takes the family for a flight in their de Havilland Mosquito. It comes under attack by an alien Shi'ar spaceship. As the plane goes down in flames, Scott's parents fasten him and his younger brother Alex into a parachute and push them off the plane, hoping that they would survive. Unfortunately, the parachute catches fire and Scott strikes his head upon landing. This causes brain damage to Scott, which is supposedly responsible for his inability to control his optic blasts, as well as prolonged amnesia about his childhood. Scott spent most of his childhood in an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska and was subjected to batteries of tests and experiments by the orphanage's owner, Mr. Milbury, an alias for the geneticist Mister Sinister, who also placed mental blocks on Scott.
The X-Men Edit
Scott is found by Charles Xavier, who erases the crowd's memories. Xavier then asks Scott to join the X-Men, and he gladly accepts, as the first official member. In the X-Men's first field mission, he battles Magneto. With the X-Men, he battles the Blob. He also becomes romantically attracted to Jean Grey. With the X-Men, he then clashes with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants for the first time. He soon becomes the team's field leader, a position he will traditionally hold over the years. Cyclops has a relationship with Jean Grey during their time in the "original" X-Men. For a long time, he refuses to admit, even to himself, that he has feelings for her, afraid he would be hurt again or that his optic blasts would hurt her - or anyone else he cared about for that matter - and also because he feels he is no match for his wealthy teammate Warren Worthington III, a.k.a. Angel, who is at first also romantically interested in Jean. What Scott doesn't know is that Jean actually has a crush on him, but is too shy to make a move. Finally, on Bobby Drake's 16th birthday, they reveal their passion for each other and begin to date. When the X-Men are defeated by Krakoa, Cyclops is the only member able to escape and return to Xavier. He helps train a new group of X-Men, which includes Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine to rescue the others. When the other original X-Men (Angel, Beast, Iceman, Jean Grey, and later additions Havok (his own brother) and Polaris) decide to leave in light of the arrival of the new X-Men, Cyclops stays, feeling that he will never be able to lead a normal life because of the uncontrollable nature of his powers. At first, Scott believes that his parents died in the plane accident and is unaware that they, in fact, had been captured and sold into slavery by the Shi'ar. As an adult member of the X-Men, Cyclops meets his father, now known as Corsair, leader of the Starjammers, a group of aliens opposing what they see as the tyranny of the Shi'ar empire. Several more years pass before the two learn of each other's true identities. He later comes into contact with his grandparents, who he learns are still alive and own a shipping company in Canada. Cyclops privately questions his relationship with Jean after Jean dies trying to pilot a space shuttle through a solar flare, and then is reborn as Phoenix, feeling that this reborn Jean was not the same Jean he had loved. Yet when he thinks her dead for an extended period of time after a battle in the Savage Land, Scott is not able to mourn her, and believes this meant he didn't really love her anymore. He briefly dates Colleen Wing of the Heroes for Hire group. However, when Scott and Jean are reunited on Muir Island to fight Proteus, he rediscovers his love for her, and they share a passionate kiss on the way home. A few days before Jean dies, Scott psychically proposes, and she accepts. After her death, he quits the X-Men, unsure of what to do anymore. He signs on as crew of a fishing boat, captained by Lee Forrester. After an adventure in which Lee's father is possessed by D'Spayre, and Cyclops and the Man-Thing must fight D'Spayre, Scott and Lee find themselves shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle, where they stumble upon Magneto's new base of operations. Scott soon returns to the X-Men. He then discovers that Corsair is actually his father. Eventually, Scott marries Madelyne Pryor, a woman who bears a strong resemblance to Jean. Scott later battles Storm for undisputed leadership of the X-Men, and after being defeated he retires from the X-Men. Madelyne bears him a son, Nathan.
X-Factor and Inferno Edit
Shortly after the birth of Nathan, it is revealed that Jean is not dead. The Phoenix is revealed to be a cosmic entity who had supplanted Jean, placing her in a healing pod at the bottom of Jamaica Bay, to be eventually revived by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Cyclops leaves his wife and son and returns to Jean, although Warren moves in on the now single woman. Jean joins with Cyclops and the other original X-Men as X-Factor, who pose as mutant hunters but in reality are trying to help their genetic brethren. Meanwhile, Pryor goes on to be an assisting member of the X-Men, apparently sacrificing her life during the Fall of the Mutants with her teammates, although she was left with feelings of despair over the loss of Scott, who felt bad himself over the way he had handled the situation. No longer married, Scott moves on. During an adventure, his teammate Warren, the Angel, loses his wings. Bitter, Angel is transformed by a villain the team recently encountered, immortal mutant Apocalypse, into Death, general of his Horsemen. Iceman manages to bring Warren back, who becomes Archangel. The demons S'ym and N'astirh corrupt Madelyne's feelings of self-despair, transforming her into the Goblin Queen. Madelyne seeks revenge on Scott for leaving her. When it is revealed that she is a clone created by geneticist Mister Sinister, essentially for the purpose of becoming a brood mare, Madelyne can't take it any more and kills herself. Scott seemingly kills Sinister with an optic blast, and pursues a romance with Jean, reclaiming his son. Scott soon learns that Mister Sinister ran the orphanage in which Scott was raised, and battled Sinister over this. Shortly after the X-Tinction Agenda, Scott reencounters Apocalypse, who infects Nathan with a techno-organic virus. Although Scott saves his son with the help of his fellow teammates and through the combined strength of Nathan, Jean, and himself defeats Apocalypse, he was unable to save his son from the fatal infection. Distraught, Scott sends his son into the future where he can be cured.
Return to the X-Men Edit
After Cyclops' return as field leader, much of the Blue team is kidnapped by Omega Red and the ninjas of The Hand. After the captured teammates' rescue, Mr. Sinister sends Caliban, a former X-Factor member, to kidnap Cyclops and Jean for Stryfe, a madman and rival to Cable, both time-lost mutants. Stryfe tells the two that he is Nathan, sent to the future and abandoned. In a fight, Cable and Stryfe apparently die. Afterwards, the team battles Omega Red again, and fellow teammate and telepath Psylocke tries to lure Cyclops into an affair behind Jean's back, however, Cyclops remains with Jean. Cable returns as well and reveals to Cyclops that he is the real Nathan Christopher Summers.
Second Marriage Edit
Scott Summers and Jean Grey finally marry. During their honeymoon, they are brought into the future where they raise Cable for the first 12 years of his life during The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix miniseries. After helping Cable defeat the future version of Apocalypse, they are sent back to the past. At the request of Rachel Summers, Jean assumes the Phoenix identity. Mister Sinister, involved with the machinations of Apocalypse and Stryfe and still alive, tells Cyclops that there is another Summers brother, and leaves him wondering. As Cyclops deals with the fact that his son is now old enough to be his father, the X-Men are forced to battle their mentor when Professor Xavier is transformed into the evil Onslaught as a result of mind-wiping Magneto. Although the X-Men defeat the evil entity and free Xavier, most of Earth's heroes are lost for a time. Xavier, who is left powerless after Onslaught's defeat, is arrested for his part, leaving Scott and Jean as leaders and co-headmasters of the school. However, the pair go into retirement following Operation: Zero Tolerance, in which Cyclops is gravely injured when a bomb is placed in his chest.
Merging with Evil Edit
Scott and Jean return to the X-Men some time after at the request of Storm, when she grows concerned about the mental well-being of Professor X (who had returned sometime prior).[volume & issue needed] Their return then leads to the events of The Twelve, in which Apocalypse locates twelve mutants which can power a machine to allow him to take the body of Nate Grey, the X-Man. In order to save Nate, Cyclops willingly merges with the villain Apocalypse. He is believed dead until Jean and Cable track him down to Egypt and separate him from Apocalypse, killing Apocalypse's spirit in the process.
Marital Problems Edit
Upon Cyclops' return to the X-Men following his possession, there is a rather drastic change in his personality, as a result of being bonded with Apocalypse. This change causes a rift to develop between Jean and himself, and he claims Apocalypse made him question not only their relationship, but his life as a whole. He is instrumental in preventing the mutant Xorn's suicide and in recruiting the powerful mutant to the X-Men. Surprisingly, the two establish a close friendship, which is almost unprecedented in Cyclops' personal history; similarly, repeated missions with Wolverine result in the growth of a tentative friendship between the two veteran X-Men. When Jean begins to show signs of the Phoenix Force again, the distance between the two grows larger and Scott begins what others would dub his "celibacy kick." Jean attempts several times to confront Cyclops, but he continues to push her away claiming that Apocalypse had changed him too much on the inside. When Xavier leaves Earth while under the control of Cassandra Nova, Jean is left as Headmistress of the school. Her new responsibilities along with her growing powers, force Jean to put her attention elsewhere leaving Scott feeling ignored. Scott turns to Emma Frost, a former villainess who had reformed, been the headmistress of Generation X, and eventually joined the X-Men. Their relationship ostensibly begins as a series of psychic therapy sessions, but Emma takes advantage of this situation to get closer to Scott. Under the guise of counseling him, she instigates a telepathic affair. When Phoenix discovers the affair, Cyclops claims he and Emma shared only thoughts and thus had done nothing wrong. Meanwhile, Emma's snide and mocking jeers provoke a hurt and angry Jean to psychically confront her. She forces Emma to admit her true feelings for Scott, and also come to terms with her many failures, sins, and personal demons. Furious at both himself and Jean, Scott confronts her and demands she read his mind; Jean finally complies, only to discover that Scott and Emma never actually engaged in any physical contact, though Emma had offered it. Yet, despite the fact that the affair was not a physical one, to a telepath such as Jean (who for years shared an intimate psychic rapport with Scott) the incident is just as bad if not worse. Unable to fully confront everyone about his actions, Scott runs away from the Xavier Institute just after Emma has been shattered in her diamond form and supposedly killed. He soon finds himself at Hellfire Club which had been turned into a sleazy strip club and tries to get drunk off white wine while generally trying to escape the responsibilities, expectations, and demands he feels are unjustly placed on him by the X-Men. He then accompanies Wolverine and Fantomex to the government-created time-pocket called The World and then Asteroid M. During his time with Wolverine, Scott reveals that he feels his relationship with Jean is stagnant and that the two of them had not progressed romantically since their initial teenage romance. He also confesses that he feels that Jean is so concerned with the school and her new powers that the two no longer communicate like before and that he feels left behind due to Jean once again being connected to the Phoenix Force. When Scott finally returns to the X-Men, their new teammate Xorn (who was revealed to be Magneto, but was subsequently retconned as an imposter) attacks the X-Men. Having at last reached full Phoenix power, Jean confronts Xorn-Magneto and is killed in the process. As she is dying, Scott apologizes for hurting her, but Jean instead tells him that she understands and has never seen him more alive and urges him to live on.
Headmaster Edit
Scott, however, is devastated by Jean's death, and considers leaving the X-Men once more. It was revealed in the "Here Comes Tomorrow" storyline that, had he done so, it would have led to an apocalyptic alternate future. To prevent this, a resurrected, future-version of Jean uses her powers as the White Phoenix of the Crown and telepathically nudged Cyclops into a real relationship with Emma, reaching out to him from this alternate future. Together, the pair rebuild the Xavier Institute as co-headmasters. The new relationship between Emma and Scott leads to problems between them and the rest of the X-Men, all of whom believe that the pair are doing Jean's memory a disservice. Rachel Summers in particular feels hurt and angry by her father's lack of remorse for the psychic affair that hurt Jean before her death and Emma's part in it, and takes on the last name of Grey in place of Summers. The other X-Men eventually come to accept the relationship and both Scott and Emma manage to reconcile with Rachel in their own ways, such as introducing Rachel to Jean's other family members. Deciding that the X-Men need to play more of a role in emergency rescue and aid, and thus garner attention on mutants in a more positive light where mutant abilities are used for the good of people, Cyclops hand-picks a new team in Astonishing X-Men, which is subsequently used by Marvel as the chief representation of the X-Men. The team faces an alien named Ord of the Breakworld, who supplies Earth scientist Dr. Kavita Rao with a "cure" for mutation. The team subdue Ord, but not before learning that one of their own will be responsible for the destruction of Ord's homeworld in the coming year. Not long after, the X-Men's Danger Room becomes sentient, attacking the X-Men and seeking to ultimately kill Xavier. Calling itself "Danger," "she" reveals that Xavier knew she had been self-aware since Shi'ar technology was installed in the Danger Room years ago, but chose to ignore her, effectively inhumanely using her only to train his teams of X-Men. After her defeat on the island of Genosha, the X-Men abandoned Xavier in disgust, with Cyclops no longer welcoming Xavier's input at the School or with the team. Cyclops also tutored a squad at the institute called The Corsairs, named after Cyclops' father. The team consisted of Dryad, Quill, Specter, and the three remaining Stepford Cuckoos.
Astonishing X-Men Edit
In Astonishing X-Men #14, during an impromptu telepathic "therapy session", Emma Frost presented Cyclops with the possibility that his lack of control over his optic blasts actually stems not from physical brain damage, but from a sort of mental block that the young Scott imposed upon himself after the combined traumas of the loss of his parents, separation from his brother, and shocking manifestation of his powers; this is seen as a coping mechanism, giving Scott something to focus on and try to maintain some sort of control over at a time when events completely out of his control had effectively shattered the life he had led up to that point. Scott admits that this theory is the truth, further admitting that he had blocked making this decision out of his memory, to preserve the fallacy in his own mind and prevent others from discovering his "secret." The issue ends with Scott apparently in a catatonic state, with his eyes uncovered and displaying their natural shade of brown, with no evidence of his powers manifesting. Later he manifests, and has full control over his optical blasts.
Deadly Genesis Edit
After the events of House of M, nearly all mutants were left depowered, and Xavier was missing. A mysterious villain then attacked and easily defeated several members of the team, including Cyclops and his alternate-reality daughter, Rachel. The two were captured and taken to an undisclosed location, which Cyclops vaguely remembered visiting in the past. Eventually managing to free themselves, Cyclops and Rachel attempted to escape, only to run into their captor (revealed to be Vulcan), who informed Cyclops that he was the X-Man's younger brother. A powerless Professor Xavier confirmed this information in the final book of the miniseries. This new information has left Cyclops resentful towards his mentor and has gone so far as to demand that Xavier leave the school as it is no longer 'his'.
Civil War Edit
Cyclops, along with the other surviving original X-Men, declare neutrality on the subject of Civil War, reasoning that the X-Men sympathized too much with Captain America's side - who, like the X-Men, were persecuted for wanting to do the right thing - but believed that the mutant race had suffered too great a loss recently to take a side either way due to the recent depowerment of so many mutants. When Bishop leaves the team to join the Registration supporters and locate the escaped 198, Cyclops eventually helps the futuristic X-Man in recovering them.
World War Hulk Edit
Cyclops is listed as a target on Hulk's "Hit List" of characters. He is seen fighting the Hulk in World War Hulk: X-Men #1, he uses a full beam blast to stop the Hulk, refusing to let the Hulk take Professor Xavier regardless of his own feelings towards his mentor regarding the truth about Krakoa. While it peels off some of the Hulk's skin, he was able to walk towards Cyclops and clench his entire face, effectively containing the blast. After Hulk left when Mercury told him about the mutant race being near-extinct, Cyclops began to forgive Professor X while the wounded were being tended to.
Messiah Complex Edit
Cyclops leads a team to Alaska to find the new mutant detected by Cerebra. When the team arrives, they find nearly every child in the town killed, dead Marauders and Purifiers, and the baby gone. He sends a team consisting of Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Angel, and Colossus to find former Acolytes for information on the Marauders. He argues with Xavier, who complains about not telling him about his team. Scott tells Xavier it's not his X-Men anymore and that he can do what he wants. Scott also calls in X-Factor to help with the situation, asks Rictor to infiltrate the Purifiers, and asks Madrox and Layla Miller to go see Forge. Upon discovering that Cable has kidnapped the new born mutant, Cyclops orders the reforming of X-Force with Wolverine leading the team. Their first mission is to hunt down Cable and retrieve the baby. Cyclops later breaks all ties with Professor X and asks him to leave the mansion, as Xavier continues to question Cyclops' judgement. Later on, Cyclops is seen with his own team and X-Factor, to help out Wolverine against the Reavers and to capture the baby from Cable. Cable eludes the X-Men. After finding the Marauders' hideout on Muir Island, Cyclops dispatches X-Force and Bishop to go there and retrieve the baby. During the final battle, Cyclops sends the New X-Men against the Marauders, believing that Sinister's forces will be caught off guard by unfamiliar opponents. The students prove to be effective. Cyclops then confronts Cable demanding the baby. Cable, with a gun pointed at his father, begs Cyclops to let him escape into the future with the baby, however Cable gives the child to Cyclops, after Xavier points out that the future of all mutantkind is at stake and Cyclops, as leader of the X-Men, speaks for mutantkind. Cyclops holds the baby and, realizing that the child deserves the chance to make its own destiny, gives her back to Cable. Cable teleports to the future just as Bishop fires a round at the child. The shot misses her and hits Xavier in the head. Cyclops strikes Bishop with an optic blast, and Cyclops declares the X-Men disbanded.
Manifest Destiny and controversy Edit
During the interim period, Cyclops goes on a vacation with Emma to the Savage Land after refusing Tony Stark's request to have the X-Men as part of the Fifty State Initiative. There, they are contacted by Warren asking them for assistance in San Francisco. Scott and Emma are successful in rescuing not only Warren and the other X-Men, but also in rescuing San Francisco as a whole. As a result, the Mayor of the city offers to help the X-Men reestablish themselves in the city. After building a new headquarters, Cyclops sends word to all the world's mutants that San Francisco, which has welcomed the X-Men with open-arms, is now a safe haven for mutant-kind and that all are welcomed to join them. The X-Men's presence is widely approved of by San Francisco, including the police, who now hire the team to aid them in cases that might be out of their area. Cyclops dispatches Wolverine to track down Mystique and revives X-Force as a clandestine black-ops team whose mission is to take down threats to the X-Men that they cannot deal with while under the public eye. Cyclops places Wolverine in charge of the team and adamantly keeps X-Force's existence secret from the other X-Men, including Emma Frost (manifested as a psychic "black box" in his mind that Emma is unable to open), also demanding that X-Force remain unknown to the public. However, Cyclops utilizes other X-Men for parts of the groups mission, including Beast and the Stepford Cuckoos. The team is sometimes less careful, leaving blood-stained clothing around, piquing Emma's suspicions. The controversy of Cyclops' decisions as leader of the X-Men is further highlighted during the Skrull invasion of San Francisco when he readily utilizes biological warfare against the Skrulls by knowingly infecting them with an adapted version of the Mutant Legacy Virus created by Beast without first determining if there was also a cure. In another controversial decision, Cyclops sends X-Force to track down the Leper Queen who is infecting mutants with a strain of the Legacy Virus to use their uncontrolled powers in attacks against humanity in order to stir up anti-mutant hysteria. While on the mission, Beast locates Cable in the future and Cyclops orders X-Force to abandon the current mission and prepare for transport to the future to assist Cable and the baby. Despite knowing that the Leper Queen has kidnapped and intends to kill Hellion, Surge, and Boom Boom, and despite the protests from both X-Force and Beast that a few more minutes is all that is needed to kill her and save the students, Cyclops activates the time machine. Though Domino is only moments away from killing the Leper Queen, the team is transported to the future and the Leper Queen shoots Boom Boom in the head, while Hellion and Surge are injected and sent to the United Nations building for another attack.
Mutant/Anti-muting rioting and the Sisterhood of Mutants Edit
Footage of Cooperstown, Alaska from X-Men: Messiah Complex is eventually released to the media by Simon Trask, designed to deceive the public into believing that the destruction was caused by the newborn mutant messiah rather than the Purifiers. The footage, coupled with Trask's newly formed "Humanity Now! Coalition" pushing anti-mutant legislation, dubbed "Proposition X," aiming to control mutant reproduction, causes an increase in mutant hate crimes, causing Scott to open the X-Men's base to anyone seeking refuge. During this time, his growing secrecy concerning X-Force and Emma's suspicions that he is keeping something from her which begins creating a rift between himself and Emma. Taking advice from Storm that Scott's actions are always in the best interest of mutant-kind, Emma secretly agrees to participate in Norman Osborn's Cabal in her own attempt to insure the protection of the mutant population. Scott encounters his dead ex-wife, Madelyne Pryor, again when she inexplicably returns as a psychic ghost, calling herself the Red Queen and with a newly assembled all-female team of mutants calling themselves the Sisterhood. Her team attacks the X-Men and Madelyne steals a lock of Jean's hair in Wolverine's possession, with the goal of using it to locate and inhabit Jean's body, allowing her to be reborn. Scott employs Domino to exhume Jean's grave and swap her body with another. Unaware of the switch and spurning Scott's attempt to reach out to her, Madelyne attempts to possess the body, but seemingly disintegrates into nothingness as no other body than Jean Grey's can house an entity of Madelyne's level of power.
Utopia Edit
After the battle with Madelyne and the Sisterhood, Beast confronts Scott and Emma, stating that he is aware of both of their clandestine actions and that they will discuss them at length together or their secrets will tear the X-Men apart. In the limited crossover tie-in, Dark X-Men/Dark Avengers: Utopia, the growing unrest among the mutant population and calculated instigation from Trask and Humanity Now! leads to violent rioting from mutants against the anti-mutant coalition in San Francisco. Though supported by the mayor, Cyclops is largely viewed as the leader of the remaining mutant population by the media and he takes the brunt of negative media and public opinion, implicated as endorsing and sending the X-Men to lead the rioting. Trask capitalizes on the hysteria, portraying Humanity Now! as victims of oppression in order to push Proposition X. Norman Osborn utilizes the Dark Avengers to stop the riots and arrest Cyclops and his team of X-Men, calling in Emma to lead a new team of Dark X-Men. Emma agrees to lead the team, which will answer to Osborn, as the Black Queen. Marvel writer Matt Fraction indicated that Emma's alliance with Osborn will place Scott and Emma at odds with one another, providing "a profound schism". Cyclops travels to Osborn's base on Alcatraz Island to speak with him. Osborn tells Cyclops that they can end the riots and hysteria here right now but Cyclops interrupts him and orders him to surrender. A shocked Osborn asks what he means and Cyclops replies that Osborn needs to get the riots under control and then withdraw H.A.M.M.E.R. and the Dark Avengers and leave San Francisco to him and the X-Men. When Osborn refuses Cyclops leaves telling Osborn that he tried. After Cyclops leaves, Osborn tells Victoria Hand that when the time comes Osborn is going to kill Cyclops personally. As Emma's Dark X-Men slowly get the city under control, Cyclops continues to form his plans to deal with the situation. Scott assigns his X-Men (such as Mirage, Domino, Mindee Cuckoo, and Psylocke) different tasks, as well as having another team observe Emma's team, as they deal with a group of bio-sentinels attacking San Francisco. When asked how they're expected to take out both the Dark X-Men and Dark Avengers, Scott retorts "Who said you're the squad that's supposed to stop the Avengers?". Scott's plan finally comes together as he has Magik teleport X-Force into H.A.M.M.E.R's Alcatraz Island, where they take on the Dark X-Men and Avengers, while Magik teleports all the captured mutants to safety. X-Force is aided by Emma and Namor, who are revealed to be double-agents against Osborn. Immediately after, Scott has the X-Club resurrect Asteroid M which crashed into the Pacific Coast a few years prior. Cyclops then orders Magik and Pixie to teleport every X-Man and allied mutant to what he now calls 'Utopia'. During a press conference, Cyclops informs the world that they have left the United States and that they reject Norman Osborn and his methods.
Powers and Abilities Edit
Powers Edit
Optic Blast: Cyclops possesses the mutant ability to project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyclops's eyes are no longer the complex organic jelly that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it. Instead, they are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinian universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinian universe is filled with particles that resemble photons, yet they interact with this universe's particles by transferring kinetic energy in the form of gravitons (the particle of gravitation). These particles generate great, directional concussive force when they interact with the objects of this universe.
Cyclops's mind has a particular psionic field that is attuned to the forces that maintain the apertures that have taken the place of his eyes. Because his mind's psionic field envelops his body, it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body. Thus, his body is protected from the effects of the particles, and even the thin membrane of his eyelids is sufficient to block the emission of energy. The synthetic ruby quartz crystal used to fashion the lenses of Cyclops's eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected.
The width of Cyclops's eye-blast seems to be focused by his mind's psionic field with the same autonomic function that regulated his original eyes' ability to focus. As Cyclops focuses, the size of the aperture changes and thus act as a valve to control the flow of particles and beam's relative power. The height of Cyclops's eye-blast is controlled by his visor's adjustable slit. His narrowest beam, about the diameter of a pencil at a distance of 4 feet has a force of about 2 pounds per square inch. His broadest beam, about 90 feet across at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of about 10 pounds per square inch. His most powerful eye-blast is a beam 4 feet across which, at a distance of 50 feet, has a force of 500 pounds per square inch. The maximum angular measurement of Cyclops's eye-blast is equivalent to a wide-angle 35mm camera lens field of view (90 degrees measured diagonally, or the angle subtended by holding a magazine's pages spread open, upright at 9.5 inches from your eyes). The minimum angular measurement is equivalent to the angle that the thickness of a pencil would subtend at 4 feet (3.5 degrees, about a quarter of an inch viewed at 4 feet). The beam's effective range is about 2,000 feet, at which point a 1-inch beam has spread out to 10 feet square, and then has a pressure of .38 pounds per square inch. Cyclops's maximum force is sufficient to tip over a filled 5,000 gallon tank at a distance of 20 feet, or puncture a 1-inch carbon-steel plate at a distance of 2 feet.
The extra dimensional supply of energy for Cyclops's eye-blast is practically infinite. Thus, so long as Cyclops's psionic field is active (which is constant), there is the potential to emit energy. The only limit to the eye-blast is the mental fatigue of focusing constantly. After about 15 minute of constant usage, the psionic field subsides and allows only a slight leakage of energy to pass through the aperture. Cyclops's metabolism will recover sufficiently for him to continue in about an additional 15 minutes.
The maximum force of Cyclops' optic blasts are unknown, but a commonly given description is that he can "punch holes through mountains", and he has been shown to rupture a half-inch thick carbon steel plate. During a particular battle, Scott says that he hit Cain Marko (a.k.a. the Juggernaut) with enough power to split a small planet in half, though he may have been indulging in hyperbole. In the Age of Apocalypse dimension, his beams can cut through adamantium a previously indestructible metal. In the mainstream continuity of the Marvel Universe, it has also been implied that Cyclops only utilizes a fraction of the energies at his disposal. During the Civil War: X-Men story arc, Cyclops is controlled by another mutant to use his powers at their full magnitude. When directed at the energy-absorbing mutant Bishop, Cyclops was able to overload Bishop's powers in a matter of seconds. When Iron-man measured Cyclops's power whilst he was powering bishop, he found the energy output was well over 2 gigawatts, larger than a large nuclear reactor. It is also stated that Cyclops does not use his powers at such a level due to the preoccupation he has regarding his control (or lack thereof) of his abilities.
Cyclops is seen fighting The Hulk in World War Hulk: X-Men #1 and in issue #2, where he uses a beam blast to stop the Hulk, refusing to let the Hulk take Professor Xavier. While it peels off some of the Hulk's skin, he was able to walk towards Cyclops and clench his entire face, effectively containing the blast.
Spatial Awareness: Cyclops seems to possess an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen surfaces in the course of one blast, and still hit his intended target accurately. It is his sense of superhumanly enhanced spatial awareness that allows him to perform these feats as well.
Energy Resistance: Cyclops is resistant to the effects of his own powers. This is linked to him being capable of withstanding his brother's ability with no ill effects. This is a result of their close genetics, a quirk of mutant genetics that is common among siblings.
Abilities Edit
Expert Pilot: Cyclops is an expert pilot of fixed-wing aircraft, a skill he appears to have inherited from his father. It has also been implied that his trigonometric sense improves his abilities in the air.
Master Strategist and Tactician: Cyclops has spent most of his superhero career as the leader of either the X-Men or X-Factor and has developed exceptional leadership skills. It is notable that regardless of their general attitude towards him, all of the X-Men tend to obey his orders in battle - because they know that he's usually right.
Master Martial Artist: Cyclops also has extensive training in martial arts and unarmed combat, holding black belts in judo and aikido. His level of skill is sufficient to defeat six normal men with his eyes closed and he has in the past held his own against such dangerous enemies as Wolverine and Ghost Rider.
Strength level Edit
Normal human male who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Weaknesses Edit
Cyclops is not immune to Vulcan's powers. Though he is partially resistant to it
Paraphernalia Edit
Equipment Edit
Cyclops' Visor: The mask Scott wears to prevent random discharge is lined with powdered ruby quartz crystal. It incorporates two longitudinally mounted flat lenses which can lever inward providing a constantly variable exit slot of 0 inches to .79 inches in height and a constant width of 5.7 inches. The inverted clamshell mechanism is operated by a twin system of miniature electrical motors. As a safety factor their is a constant positive closing pressure provided by springs. The mask itself is made of high-impact plastic. There is an overriding finger-operated control mechanism on either side of the mask, and normal operation is through a flat micro-switch installed in the thumb of either glove. A separate pair of lenses were also designed for Scott to use while sleeping.
Transportation: X-Men Blackbird, formerly X-Men Stratojet, Sentinel Air Transport and X-Factor Plane Weapons: When Scott used the disguise of Erik the Red, he was able to project his optic blasts through its gloves
- He appears in the films X-Men, X-Men 2: X-Men United, X-Men 3: The Last Stand as one of the main characters.
- Cyclops also appears in X-Men Origins: Wolverine with a minor role.
Notes Edit
- Due to brain injury, Cyclops is unable to shut off his optic blasts at will and must therefore wear a visor or glasses with ruby quartz lenses that block the beams.
- Mister Sinister claimed that Scott's eyes and brain became too reliant on ruby quartz rather than his injury.
- Emma Frost has recently said the psychological trauma of losing his parents and being separated from his brother are primarily responsible for his inability to control his powers.
- Scott frequently listens to the radio
Trivia Edit
- Scott was very close to his mother in law Elaine Grey who acted as a motherly figure toward him. The two countinued to be close even after the death of his wife Jean Grey. Scott was severly upset when Elaine was slain by Black Cloak, a random victim of the extermination of the Grey Genome.

About the Sun Devils: There is always pressure on ASU when it comes to postseason expectations, but for the first time in school history, the Sun Devils have an added bulls eye on their backs.
ASU is the top national seed in the tournament for the first time since the NCAA started naming national seeds in 1999. While being the top seed is a great accomplishment, it hasn't bred many results. Only one top national seed has won the national championship, which was Miami in 1999.
The odds are stacked against them, but why should this ballclub stop defying odds now? They have done it all season long. It seems like such a long time ago that long-time head coach Pat Murphy resigned and players were left in limbo for weeks without a coach.
The players came together during those times and they have rallied around head coach Tim Esmay, who officially shed his interim label on Tuesday accepting the full-time position at his alma mater.
The pitching staff was faced with more to overcome when All-American Josh Spence was sidelined by an injury that didn't let him throw one single pitch all season. Junior Seth Blair stepped up in his stead and established himself as a true ace, finishing a perfect 11-0.
The rotation is rounded out by Merrill Kelly and Jake Borup, who have had solid first seasons contributing. Neither is experienced in postseason play, however.
ASU's bullpen is a strong point and could be the difference this season. Brady Rodgers and Mitchell Lambson can eat up innings, while Jake Barrett and Jordan Swagerty are as good as it gets at the back end.
ASU is stacked again on the offensive end, leading the Pac-10 in almost all of the major offensive categories. While they don't hit massive amounts of home runs like they used to, the Sun Devils will manufacture runs by stealing bases and hitting doubles and triples. There really is no weak spot in the lineup; it will actually be interesting to see who Esmay decides to play during the regional because he has so many options.
#2 San Diego Toreros
Record: 36-20, 19-2 West Coast Conference (Champions)
Top Hitters:
James Meador (injured) OF .391 7 HR 62 RBI
Chris Engell 3B .421 1 HR 33 RBI
Mike Ferraro OF .341 2 HR 25 RBI
Starting Pitchers:
Kyle Blair RHP 8-4 2.99 ERA
Sammy Solis LHP 9-2 3.00 ERA
AJ Griffin RHP 7-3 4.71 ERA
Top Relievers:
Matt Thomson RHP 1-2 2.63 ERA 7 saves
Matt Hauser RHP 4-2 3.51 ERA 8 saves
Chris Jensen RHP 2-0 3.15 ERA
About the Toreros:
Starting pitching is the name of the game for USD, as the Toreros boast two frontline starters in Kyle Blair and Sammy Solis. Revenge will also be on their minds, as USD has lost to ASU and Hawaii already this season.
Those games were during the mid-week and the NCAA Tournament will be a whole different ballgame. After dropping two games at Packard Stadium in April, USD won 17 of 19 and closed out its season with a 22-6 record.
Blair and Solis will give USD a very good chance of surprising some people in Tempe.
Blair is a big right hander that features a fastball in the low 90s and an above average curveball and changeup. His command is good and if he gets things rolling, he can shut down any team in the country.
Solis is an Arizona native that also has three good pitches. The lefty sits in the lower 90s and has a different arm angle that can be deceptive to hitters. The dark horse on the mound for USD is AJ Griffin. He is a former All-American reliever who has been up and down as a starter.
The USD starters are good and the bullpen is solid, so it will be up to the offense to win them games in the tournament. The Toreros won't hit a lot of home runs, but they still put up over six runs per game.
James Meador is the best offensive player in the WCC but suffered an injury during Tuesday's practice and has reportedly been ruled out for the regional.
USD is ready to finally make some noise in the tournament and has the talent to do so. Coach Rich Hill's group shouldn't be taken lightly, they have the tools and the confidence to shock ASU.
#3 Hawaii Rainbows
Record: 33-26, 12-12 Western Athletic Conference (4th Place, Tournament Champions)
Top Hitters:
Kolten Wong 2B .365 7 HR 40 RBI
Greg Garcia SS .351 3 HR 35 RBI
Jeffery Van Doornum DH .342 12 HR 35 RBI
Top Pitchers:
Josh Slaats RHP 5-3 3.22 ERA
Sam Spangler LHP 5-6 4.42 ERA
Matt Sisto RHP 5-5 5.57 ERA
Top Relievers:
Lenny Linsky RHP 3-0 1.59 ERA 12 saves
Jesse Moore RHP 1-1 4.42 ERA 4 saves
Zach Gallagher RHP 3-4 4.98 ERA 1 save
About the Rainbows: Hawaii is making Arizona its second home. The Rainbows just finished off a surprising run to the WAC tournament title in Mesa this past week and will just stay in the Valley to start postseason play.
The Rainbows got hot at just the right time, because without their run to through the WAC tournament, Hawaii wouldn't be in the NCAA Tournament.
They don't hit for a high average, nor do they have a good team ERA. They don't steal bases and they don't hit a lot of home runs. So how are they in the tournament?
The answer to that is simple. Baseball is a funny game, stats can often be tossed right out the window, what matters is how you are playing in the moment and at this moment the Rainbows are hot.
To make some noise in the regional, they will have to rely on the arm of Josh Slaats. Winning Friday's opener against USD will be critical for Hawaii, because they don't have the pitching to climb out of the loser's bracket.
The top and middle of Hawaii's offense can do some damage, but the lower part of the lineup struggles.
The task facing Hawaii is great. ASU and USD are stronger and deeper on the mound and at the plate. The Rainbows will have to play their best baseball of the season to come out of the regional.
#4 UW-Milwaukee Panthers
Record: 33-24, 17-8 Horizon League (2nd Place, Tournament Champions)
Top Hitters:
Ben Long 1B .351 8 HR 55 RBI
Dan Buchholz 3B .333 9 HR 47 RBI
Cole Kraft SS .353 5 HR 35 RBI
Top Pitchers:
Chad Pierce RHP 7-4 3.70 ERA
Jayme Sukowaty RHP 4-1 3.91 ERA
Jeff Gordon RHP 5-0 4.79 ERA
Top Reliever:
Greg Blohowiak RHP 2-0 1.73 ERA 2 saves
Cameron Amsrud RHP 2-5 3.15 ERA 9 saves
Kyle Schmidt RHP 4-3 5.49 ERA
About the Panthers:
UWM will be making its fourth NCAA Tournament appearance and it's first since 2002. They aren't unfamiliar to Tempe, however.
ASU and UWM squared off to open up the 2009 season. The Sun Devils outscored the Panthers 53-9 in that four game series.
UWM is playing its best baseball of the season down the stretch, mostly because of the resurgence of its pitching staff. In five Horizon League tournament games, UWM's pitchers had a 2.66 ERA, led by ace Chad Pierce's 1.80 ERA.
Pierce is a Wisconsin native who started his college career at Arkansas, but transferred back home and is having an outstanding first season as a Panther. He threw 150 pitches in a complete game victory in the opener of the conference tournament this past Thursday and came back to pitch six innings and get the win on Sunday in the championship game.
Pierce will more than likely get the task of facing ASU on Friday and will have to work similar heroics if an upset is in order. The Panthers need solid outings from Pierce and starters Jayme Sukowaty and Jeff Gordon if they are going to compete. UWM's bullpen does not have the depth to keep them in games.
On the offensive side, UWM lost leading hitter Tim Patzman a few weeks back to a broken wrist that will end his collegiate career. Patzman had a three-run home run in the '09 series in Tempe.
Without its leading hitter, UWM will need Ben Long and Dan Buchholz to carry the weight offensively. The Panthers can hit and feature a lot of athletic, gap-to-gap hitters.
Overall Regional Outlook:
The target is on their chest, everyone is gunning for the Sun Devils.
Character and dealing with adversity is so important in postseason baseball, not many teams have dealt with more than ASU has this season.
However, I feel that this won't be a cakewalk into the Super Regional. While Hawaii and UWM shouldn't present many challenges to ASU, USD is a hungry and postseason experienced team that has enough talent to shock the Sun Devils.
If I'm ASU, I am hoping that Hawaii's ace can pull off the upset of USD on Friday. If that happens and ASU gets past UWM, the Sun Devils will be in good shape. If the Toreros win and face ASU, Sammy Solis or Kyle Blair could cause some problems.
Don't be surprised if Esmay will hold Seth Blair off until the second game of the regional, ASU can get by UWM with either Kelly or Borup on the mound. Freshman Brady Rodgers might even get the call as a starter this weekend.
While ASU had no problems taking two games from USD this season already, this is a whole different animal. I have said all along that the Toreros were a scary team and I didn't want to see them in the Tempe Regional.
That being said, I still think ASU should and will win the regional. Just be ready for a bit of a fight.

Here's a sneak preview of a bare-chested Tim Tebow swaggering through his first TV commercial for sponsor Jockey.
The spot with the former Florida Heisman Trophy winner turned Denver Broncos quarterback for staycool underwear and T-shirts is slated to break April 4, according to Jockey.
It shows a cool and collected Tebow strutting down a sweltering city street while the people around him mop the sweat from their faces and loosen their ties. One overheated young lady fans herself and appears to give Tebow the eye as he strolls by.
"Quarterback Tim Tebow's T-shirt is cooler than yours!" says the voiceover.
Now, if only Tebow can convince new Broncos boss John Elway he deserves to start, his endorsement career will really take off on Madison Avenue. But hey, it's a start.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Bing has decided to give Google a run for its money in the local space with the introduction of the Bing Business Portal.
The new portal (to replace the Local Listing Centre) will allow business owners to reach out to their customers more effectively. They can not only create and control their online listings but also create offers & deals and promote them to Bing users on desktop & mobile for free.
The portal promises to provide detailed information about a business with better matches between a customers search and Bing's listing – ultimately resulting in potentially more traffic to any local business.
If you're already a Bing Local Listing Centre user, you will be automatically shifted to the Bing Business Portal.
Here is how Bing's Andy Chu explains the new features of the portal:
Claim Your Listings
To help you control the information that shows up about your business in a Bing local search result, just quickly and easily claim your business listing on Bing. All you need to do is use the link on your local listing page or visit www.bing.com/businessportal. You can either claim your listing by phone or PIN (sent through postal mail).
Enhance and Manage Your Listings
Once you've confirmed your identity as the owner of the business listing, you can add more details such as: photos, a logo, parking availability, languages spoken, holiday hours, payment types accepted, and select categories for your business to appear in. You can even add links to your Website, Facebook page, and Twitter URL.
Create Deals and Offers
Consumers love a good deal, and promotions are a great way to help boost sales. With Bing Business Portal you can easily create a discount coupon, promotion or rebate. Using the Deal Editor, you can specify an offer category, a type (dollar amount, dollars off, percentage off, etc.), add information describing the offer (photos, expiration, disclaimer, etc.), and then promote the offer on Bing search results, your business listing page and Facebook page – all for free.
There are more details on the Bing Business Portal here.
So what do you think – does this announcement make Bing more of a local player or will Google continue to take this title?

By Justin Young, Rivals.com
After divorcing itself from Kelvin Sampson, Indiana University is left with one question on the basketball recruiting front: What now?
A number of programs have dealt with similar situations. Some thrived. Some struggled. Some are still trying to find their way. It remains to be seen into which category Indiana will fall.
There is a provision in the Letter of Intent for 2008 Indiana signees Devin Ebanks and Terrell Holloway that would allow the two to opt out of their pledge to the Hoosiers in the event of Sampson being fired and/or the team being put on a postseason ban.
According to a source close to Ebanks, the five-star prospect and his mother have yet to hear from Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan. The source close to Ebanks said there are two to four schools that Ebanks will consider.
"He will not re-open his recruitment, just explore those (two to four) schools," the source said.
Ebanks also considered Texas, Rutgers and Miami prior to signing with Indiana.
Holloway recently told Inside Indiana and Peegs.com that he was "in a wait-and-see mind-set right now…I'm still signed with the Hoosiers, but I want to see how everything plays out before I make my final decision."
Indiana is in a state of flux right now regarding recruiting. Class of 2009 prospect Derek Elston has remained steadfast in his pledge to the Hoosiers. Indianapolis big man Stephan Van Treese says he is waiting to see who Indiana hires before further contemplating his interest with the Big Ten program.
Other top level prospects have developed strong relationships with the current staff and Sampson. Nolan Dennis, John Wall, Lance Stephenson, Jon Hood and Leslie McDonald, just to name a few, were on the recruiting board under Sampson's direction.
Time, along with the announcement on who the new coach will be, will tell the story as to the interest level for each individual prospect.
The Future
According to a handful of coaches that have taken a job at a school that is coming off a scandal of sorts, it takes a year to at least lay the foundation for a new attitude.
Translation for in Indiana? Keep an eye on the class of 2010 for recruiting.
The current class of sophomores are strong from an IU perspective. Fort Wayne native DeShaun Thomas— a 2010 on-again, off-again commitment to Ohio State — is one of the top players in his class nationally. He has been to Bloomington on an unofficial visit this season.
Other in-state prospects include Dominique Ferguson of Lawrence North in Indianapolis, Danville Community center Travis Carroll and Ray McCallum, the son of the current IU assistant coach of the same name.
The Hoosiers have laid some groundwork with the likes of Chad Jackson of Kentucky, Pe'Shon Howard from Ohio, Tobias Harris from New York, Lavonte Dority from Illinois, Allen Payne and Adreian Payne of Ohio, and others.
The regional talent pool is strong. That has helped other programs rebuild quickly – just look at fellow Big Ten school Ohio State.
The Precedent
Jim O'Brien was fired from Ohio State because he admitted giving a recruit $6,000 five years prior to his ousting. The program needed a shot in the arm and someone that could help the Buckeyes re-establish their prestige. O'Brien helped lead OSU to the national championship game in 1999.
Thad Matta, who shined at Butler and Xavier before taking over the Big Ten school, went right to work on the recruiting front for Ohio State as soon as he was hired in July 2004.
His efforts resulted in major signees. Matta landed the second best class nationally in 2006, highlighted by Greg Oden, Mike Conley and Dequan Cook. The Buckeyes made it to the NCAA title game a year later.
The Buckeyes have shined on the recruiting front since 2006, landing the No. 7 class in 2007. The Buckeyes signed the sixth best class nationally in 2008. Matta has the makings of a No. 1 class for 2010 already.
Another school that has its program on the mend is Baylor. The Bears suffered one of the worst tragedies in college basketball history when Patrick Dennehy was murder by teammate Carlton Dotson. Head coach Dave Bliss reportedly told his players to lie to investigators during the murder investigation. Along the way, numerous violations were discovered.
Bliss was obviously fired, and the rebuilding process began. Rehabbing the Baylor program would take time, and Scott Drew and his staff knew that. After a number of quality recruiting classes, Baylor is now on the bubble to make the NCAA tournament this season.
Post-scandal success has been more difficult to find for some programs. Missouri hasn't been the same since Quin Snyder and the Tigers parted ways.
Missouri began to fall apart in early January 2003 when guard Ricky Clemons was arrested for allegedly assaulting his former girlfriend. During his time in jail, Clemons said other players received money from assistant coaches. The damage had been done.
The program lost three scholarships over two years and couldn't go on the road to recruit for a year. Some suggest that the scandal may have cost the program a legitimate shot at in-state star Tyler Hansbrough -- who signed with North Carolina — and Brandon Rush, who ended up signing with Kansas.
Mike Anderson took over the Missouri program after a successful run at UAB. In his short time at Missouri, the Tigers have struggled — particularly with off-the-court issues. The team's leading scorer, Stefhon Hannah, was kicked off the team for his role in an altercation outside a nightclub.
Georgia is in a similar situation to Missouri. Jim Harrick and son, Jim, Jr., were accused of paying a $300 phone bill for ex-player Tony Cole. Harrick, Jr. later became infamous for an exam he gave to students – many of whom were basketball players — in a Physical Education course.
Dennis Felton was hired to rebuild the program and the image of the basketball team. Prior to this season, the Bulldogs had improved each year under Felton's direction. This season, Felton has dismissed the team's top two scorers -- Mike Mercer and Takais Brown. Center Rashad Singleton quit the team at the semester break and Billy Humphrey was suspended in mid-season for three games.
Georgia is .500 on the season, and may be close to starting the long climb back up the SEC standings. The Bulldogs cracked the national team recruiting rankings this season, checking in at No. 30 after signing Howard Thompkins, Dustin Ware and Drazen Zlovaric.
The Solution?
Indiana shouldn't have any problems landing players that can help restore the Hoosiers as a full-time national power. Mike Davis reeled in Alabama native D.J. White from SEC country. Sampson snagged Eric Gordon away from Illinois.
For whomever is next in line, landing a marquee player is essential. That way of thinking has proved to be successful at other schools that have tried to right the ship in a hurry.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a daughter who was born with a tumor which was remove at birth she needs regular check ups for blood work and all to make sure levels are OK and tumor isn't returning . I have asked him several times for his address he refuses to give me it and he recently moved and still wont tell me his address . . I know where he works ( illegally ) he doesn't have a ssn and he has used 2 other people names . I have committed adultery about 2 - 3 months before we actually split . I have had people tell me since he works and I don't he could get our child and since i committed adultery he could get her as well . I have also been told he couldn't get her due to his status that there wouldn't be as high of a chance of him getting her because he could flee with her
You need to sit down with a lawyer ASAP. There is no prohibition on an illegal alien receiving custody or visitation in Georgia, but a judge may certainly consider the implications of that status, as well as other factors in custody. Adultery does not normally determine custody unless it had an effect on the child.
But let me stress that your post here on the internet is public and he can read it and so can his lawyer, and it was very unwise to admit to adultery in a public posting. At this point, you need to stay quiet online, and see a lawyer ASAP to protect your rights and represent you properly.

Six 105mm light guns were wheeled out on to Queen's Parade Recreation Ground, off Queen's Avenue, and fired once every minute from midday.
Some 30 soldiers from F Battery, 7 (Para) Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery, were involved in the tribute, watched by about 200 spectators.
The event was one of 11 simultaneous Army salutes held across the United Kingdom and Gibraltar.
Maj Richard Wallwork, of 7 (Para) RHA, said: "It was a very sombre occasion. Certainly among the soldiers there was a feeling that it was a very important occasion and we were privileged to be involved in it.
"The Royal Family is very special to the military, and the Queen Mother, as head of the household, has always had a special place in our hearts."
Aldershot MP Gerald Howarth was one of the guests. He described the salute as "very moving".
Elsewhere in Rushmoor, flags were lowered at Army barracks across the military town and also at the council offices in Farnborough following the Queen Mother's death on Saturday at the age of 101.
They will remain at half mast until her funeral on Tuesday.
Books of condolence have also been opened across the borough.
They can be signed at the council offices and the Kingsmead and Princes Mead shopping centres in Farnborough, and at the Princes Hall, Princes Gardens, Visitor Information Centre and Wellington Shopping Centre in Aldershot.
The books will later be collated and forwarded to Buckingham Palace.
Mr Howarth, who was in the House of Commons on Wednesday for the recall of parliament, earlier paid his tribute to the Queen Mother.
He said: "Unquestionably she was the most remarkable woman of our times, enormously admired, respected and, indeed, loved.
"She was a woman who gave a lifetime of devoted service to our country.
"She was an inspiration during the dark days and years of the Second World War and went on to forge a bond between the Crown and the people."
The Mayor of Rushmoor, Cllr Charles Choudhary, will write to the Queen on behalf of the borough, passing on the sympathy of local people.
Seven members of the Welsh Guards, stationed in Aldershot, will be taking part in the funeral procession on Tuesday. The Queen Mother was the guards' colonel-in-chief.
Members of 101 Logistic Brigade from Aldershot will act as drivers in London on the day, rehearsals for which are being held at the Guards' Depot at Pirbright.
The late Queen Mother is pictured with Irish Guards at Pirbright on St Patrick's Day.

The dispersion of the Jews began early; though, early and late, their attachment to Judea has always been the same. Like the Highlanders of Switzerland and Scotland, they seem to have combined a tendency to foreign settlements with the most passionate love of their native "land. The first scattering of the Jews was compulsory, and began with the Assyrian exile, when, about the time of the building of Rome, natives of Galilee and Samaria were carried away by the Eastern monarchs; and this was followed by the Babylonian exile, when the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were removed at different epochs, - when Daniel was brought to Babylon, and Ezekiel to the river Chebar. That this earliest dispersion was not without influential results may be inferred from these facts; - that, about the time of the battles of Salamis and Marathon, a Jew was the minister, another Jew the cupbearer, and a Jewess the consort, of a Persian monarch. That they enjoyed many privileges in this foreign country, and that their condition was not always oppressive, may be gathered from this, - that when Cyrus gave them permission to return, the majority remained in their new home, in preference to their native land. Thus that great Jewish colony began in Babylonia, the existence of which may be traced in Apostolic times, (See 1Peter 5:13) and which retained its influence long after in the Talmudical schools. These Hebrew settlements may be followed through various parts of the continental East, to the borders of the Caspian, and even to China. We however are more concerned with the coasts and islands of Western Asia. Jews had settled in Syria and Phoenicia before the time of Alexander the Great. But in treating of this subject, the great stress is to be laid on the policy of Seleucus, who. in founding Antioch, raised them to the same political position with the other citizens. One of his successors on the throne, Antiochus the Great, established two thousand Jewish families in Lydia and Phrygia. Prom hence they would spread into Pamphylia and Galatia, and along the western coasts from Ephesus to Troas. And the ordinary channels of communication, in conjunction with that tendency to trade which already began to characterize this wonderful people, would easily bring them to the islands, such as Cyprus and Rhodes.
Their oldest settlement in Africa was that which took place after the murder of the Babylonian governor of Judea, and which is connected with the name of the prophet Jeremiah. (See 2Kings 25:22-26, Jeremiah 43, 44) But, as in the case of Antioch, our chief attention is called to the great metropolis of the period of the Greek kings. The Jewish quarter of Alexandria is well known in history; and the colony of Hellenistic Jews in Lower Egypt is of greater importance than that of their Aramaic brethren in Babylonia. Alexander himself brought Jews and Samaritans to his famous city; the first Ptolemy brought many more; and many betook themselves hither of their free will, that they might escape from the incessant troubles which disturbed the peace of their fatherland. Nor was their influence confined to Egypt, but they became known on one side in Ethiopia, the country of Queen Candace, (Acts 8:27) and spread on the other in great numbers to the "parts of Libya about Cyrene."
The subject of the proselytes is sufficiently important to demand a separate notice. Under this term we include at present all who were attracted in various degrees of intensity towards Judaism, - from those who by circumcision had obtained full access to all the privileges of the temple-worship, to those who only professed a general respect for the Mosaic religion, and attended as hearers in the synagogues. Many proselytes were attached to the Jewish communities wherever they were dispersed. Even in their own country and its vicinity, the number, both in early and later times, was not inconsiderable. The Queen of Sheba, in the Old Testament; Candace, Queen of Ethiopia, in the New; and King Izates, with his mother Helena, mentioned by Josephus, are only royal representatives of a large class. During the time of the Maccabees, some alien tribes were forcibly incorporated with the Jews. This was the case with the Ituraeans, and probably with the Moabites, and, above all, with the Edomites, with whose name that of the Herodian family is historically connected.
How far Judaism extended among the vague collection of tribes called Arabians, we can only conjecture from the curious history of the Homerites, and from the actions of such chieftains as Aretas (2Corinthians 11:32). But as we travel towards the West and North, into countries better known, we find no lack of evidence of the moral effect of the synagogues, with their worship of JEHOVAH, and their prophecies of the Messiah. "Nicolas of Antioch" (Acts 6:5) is only one of that "vast multitude of Greeks" who, according to Josephus, were attracted in that city to the Jewish doctrine and ritual. In Damascus, we are even told by the same authority that the great majority of the women were proselytes; a fact which receives a remarkable illustration from what happened to Paul at Iconium (Acts 3:50). But all further details may be postponed till we follow Paul himself into the synagogues, where he so often addressed a mingled audience of "Jews of the dispersion" and "devout" strangers.

BABYLON, Iraq (AP) The United States relinquished control of a southern province that includes Sunni areas once known as the "triangle of death," handing security responsibility to the Iraqi government on Thursday. In the capital, where insurgent attacks continue nearly daily, a car bomber targeted a government minister's convoy, killing at least 13 people.
Babil is the 12th of 18 Iraqi provinces to be placed under Iraqi control and a sign of the improving security. U.S. forces will remain in the area to assist the Iraqis when needed.
At a transfer ceremony held near the ruins of the ancient city of Babylon, Lt. Gen. Lloyd Austin, the No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq, said security gains have been remarkable — with the number of attacks falling about 80% from an average of 20 per week a year ago.
But he cautioned that "while the enemies of Iraq are down, they are not necessarily defeated."
With Babil's handover to the Iraqi government, the only province left under U.S. control in southern Iraq is Wasit, a rural desert region that borders Iran and has been a conduit for the smuggling of Iranian-backed Shiite militants and weapons into Iraq.
Wasit will be transferred to Iraqi authorities on Oct. 29, said Maj. Gen. Michael Oates, U.S. commander south of Baghdad.
Other provinces that remain to be handed over are north of the capital, where violence has been slower to decline after insurgents fled security crackdowns in Baghdad and surrounding areas.
Salim al-Musilmawi, Babil's provincial governor, credited tribal leaders and Sunnis who turned against al-Qaeda in Iraq in a U.S.-funded revolt with the downturn in violence.
"Today's security handover is the fruit of the victory over al-Qaeda," he said at the ceremony, which included a brass band, marching army squadrons and a simulated riot response by an armored police unit.
In Baghdad, the attacker rammed the car into the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry convoy as it passed through the central Bab al-Sharji area, a ministry spokesman said.
The Shiite minister, Mahmoud Mohammed al-Radhi, escaped unharmed but three of his guards were killed, spokesman Abdullah al-Lami told al-Arabiya TV station.
"It is the latest in a series of criminal acts that are targeting development process in Iraq," al-Lami said.
At least 10 civilians were killed in addition to the guards, and 21 people were wounded, according to police and hospital officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
Smoke and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. Drivers at a nearby intersection sought shelter behind their cars until Iraqi security forces ordered them to evacuate the area.
AP Television News video showed a burned SUV and the charred hulk of the apparent car bomb surrounded by Iraqi security forces. The windows of a nearby camera store were shattered, with torn pictures left among the glass.
The attack highlights the continued security challenges in the capital and other parts of Iraq amid a national debate over the future role of foreign troops in the country.
Iraq's Cabinet decided earlier this week to ask the United States for changes in a draft agreement that would keep the U.S. military here for three more years, as Shiite lawmakers warned the deal stood little chance of approval as it stands.
The government faced pressure from both sides on Thursday.
Britain called for the speedy completion of deals with it and the United States, whose U.N. mandates — and legal basis — for a military presence in Iraq expire on Dec. 31. Iran, however, urged Iraqis to reject the deal.
Iraqis "are able to provide security in Iraq and block the influence of foreigners," said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He made the remarks in a meeting with the leader of Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region, according to his official website.
Oates said Tehran was "meddling in Iraq's politics" and warned that Iran may use proxy groups to affect upcoming provincial elections that the U.S. believes are essential for national reconciliation. The vote is slated to be held by Jan. 31.
"We will see an increase in tension that probably will result in some violence," Oates said in Babylon, warning that Iran-backed militants may intimidate voters or even assassinate candidates.
"It's going to be tough enough to make the transition in this election," he added. "Iran just makes it tougher."

When calories are cut the unit defends itself by reduction the outgo of zest to coping next to the weakened uptake. Even for a truncated period, this weakening of metabolism causes smaller quantity muscle-use, which causes muscle-lossability.

4. What Can The Weightwatcher Do Roughly speaking This?
Assuming adequate willpower, the weightwatcher could cut calories even more in an undertake to maintain the pilot motion. Fortunately, the much equiprobable upshot is thatability the weightwatcher gets too starved and breaks the fare because it's well-nigh unworkable to weaken calories indefinitely suchlike this.
5. Break The Fare Is Good
Naturally, this isn't so hot for the weight loss reference point. The prototypical use for this is well well-known and the ordinal smaller quantity so.

Usually, this means thatability you shortly start on yet other 'sensational' fare.
6. Your Diet Has Enlarged Your Capableness To Outlet FAT

The use is thatability contractile organ Nathan Birnbaum calories. So, a weakening of contractor decreases the biological process charge per unit and the unit is even smaller quantity adept of warm fat than once. As a outcome of the loss of contractor and the weakened metabolism, the unit has turn even well again at storing fat!
In some other words, you malnourished to get fatter.

The crucial sound out is: how can this be done? My work out is thatability you already know the statement. That's right, workout. The with the sole purpose union thatability plant to variety you weightwatcher and fitter and superficial well again is to weaken your work unit sign a weeny and widen your workout production a lot.
Now this is uneatable for various. Let's obverse it, there's to all appearances no end to the magnitude of money, pills, potions, gadgets and effort thatability whichever those will go through with to ward off workout. That's their woe. Why variety it yours?
9. Why Exert Works
Exercise plant in two vivid way. The prototypical is thatability it uses calories, raises the organic process charge per unit and burns off fat. The ordinal is that, if through with correctly, workout tones and builds contractor or else of reduction it. And because contractile organ increases metabolism, this in whirl Nathan Birnbaum calories, even once not workout.
And you can bury the view thatability you want to gibbosity weights or whirl into a muscle-monsterability to do it. You don't. What you do want is to work out a modest weakening of calories and an augmentation in the trait of your uptake and uptake. Shepherd this next to a big widen in workout.
10. TWO Definite Don'ts
1. Don't kid yourself thatability fasting will store you occurrence. It's an vision.
2. Don't kid yourself thatability you should fare prototypical up to that time feat substantially stirring. Get active now and wand at it.
11. Hey, Fitting Looking!
Fat doesn't unanimously evaluation as utmost on the look scales as it does on the deliberation scales. A unyielding learned unit is well again and looks well again. It's too far well again for private trust.
In some other words, you watch well again and touch well again because you are better. So, get active.
12. But What If You Don't Approaching Exercise?
That's unquestionably bad word.
The worthy word is thatability though feat much suitableness and smaller quantity blubber can be tough, it's not well-nigh as rubbery as feat fatter and fatter. So, variety up your worry.
