In Episode 47 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we train our sights on the X-Men’s fearless leader: Cyclops. Scott Summers is often dismissed as the "boring" X-Man, but his history reveals one of the most tragic and complex character arcs in comics. From the traumatic plane crash that broke his mind to the sinister manipulations of his childhood orphanage, we explore how a terrified boy forged himself into a weapon of mass destruction.

Join us as we trace the "Echo" of his control—from the ruby quartz visor of the Silver Age to the revolutionary "Cyclops Was Right" era that pitted him against the Avengers. Was he a hero doing what was necessary, or a villain in the making?
