a superhero who is the field leader of theX-Men in the Marvel Comics Universe. A mutant, Cyclops produces a powerful beam with great destructive power from his eyes referred to as an "optic blast". In uniform, he wears a unique ruby quartz battle visor with a lens which runs from eye-to-eye giving him a one-eyed appearance, hence the codename "Cyclops."
Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, he first appeared in The X-Men #1September 1963. Originally dubbed Slim Summers, by X-Men #3 his name was changed to Scott and Slim was referred as a nickname. Scott is the first X-Man recruited by Charles Xavier and as one of the original five X-Men, Cyclops has had a large presence in X-Men-related comics since their inception.
Cyclops is typical of the archetypal hero in American popular culture as opposed to the tough anti-authority anti-heroes that emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War.[1] Cyclops nature is that of the authority figure who follows a strict rules based code of chivalry like the Geneva Conventions or Bushido.
