Born to Christopher and Katherine Anne, Scott Summers is the older brother of Alexander. During a flight back from Anchorage after a family vacation, the family witnessed a Shi’ar Imperial freighter materialize above their family's plane. The Shi’ar wanted no witnesses, so the plane was set on fire. With only one parachute left, Kate Summers strapped Scott into it and tied Alex to him. She and Chris said their final goodbyes to their children and pushed them out the plane door. The parents were teleported from the plane a moment before it exploded and were transported to the Shi’ar craft where they were kept as Earth specimen. The explosion of the plane set the Summers brothers' parachute on fire. During the fall, Scott used his optic blasts for the first time to slow their descent and shielded Alex from their landing with his body. Though surviving, Scott hit his head in the crash. This injury caused a slight amount of brain damage, affecting the portion of his brain that controlled his latent optic blasts. Alex and Scott were brought to an orphanage in Omaha, Nebraska, secretly run by Mr. Sinister, who had registered Scott manifesting his mutant power.(...)
As found hyah.
(Oh, and as for his mum in particular, I'm not entirely sure, but a post-Claremont Uncanny issue by Lobdell featured a flashback of sorts to Corsair witnessing the Shi'ar murdering his wife, so I'm guessing she was a slave who, errm, did a no-no? Not particularly significant, I suppose. %Unlike the rest%. Hah!) |
