When Scott was a boy growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, 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, in hopes 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. Parts of his memory return when he is unexpectedly attacked by D’Spayre while on a leave of absence after Jean Grey’s death. [2]
