AGE: 19 years old.
BACKGROUND: Wiki entry -
Here, Time-Displaced era.
PERSONALITY: Strengths:Even before hitting puberty Scott had been bullied, experimented on, brainwashed, guilt-tripped, and abused on almost a daily basis. All things considered, it’s a miracle that he didn't become a straight-up serial killer. In fact, there’s a noticeable contrast between all the abusive people he’s met in his life and the strict moral code he developed over the years. Usually, he’s collected and polite, showing a calm demeanor under pressure and being able to focus in dire circumstances. At this age, unlike his adult self, he’s still highly idealistic, truly believing that mutants and human can coexist if they try hard enough.
He's not scared of heading headfirst into battle if that's what the situation requires, no matter the risk of getting killed in the process. He will do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about, and if Jean's safety is involved he's pretty much ready to throw down with the whole Galaxy -- as Gladiator quickly discovered when he kidnapped her and Scott sweep the floor with him. He is slow to anger but when people get him to that point, the results aren't pretty. Beware of the nice one, and all that.
He's fought aliens, time travelers, demons, vampires, Atlanteans, homicidal A.Is from the future, Inhumans, and even the Avengers. Scott takes it all in stride because life is just that weird sometimes but if there's a way to resolve a conflict without violence, he will take that route any day. He's generally easy-going, socially awkward, and shy. He does have a sense of humor, more often than not being comically serious and leaning on the sarcastic or dry side. He was able to spend time in space with his father after discovering that Christopher wasn't dead. That, and later his involvement with the Champions has helped Scott grow as a person away from the stress of being the leader of the X-men, relax a little bit and be more outspoken about his problems.
He has an analytical mind and thinks quickly on his feet. In battle he becomes the level-headed type, always thinking about the best strategy to circumvent whatever obstacles they encounter and is very determined to save and protect everyone, as well as give 'villains' a second or third chance. If he is a good leader and tactician, that's in part because Scott is so concerned about all the possible outcomes of a troublesome situation that he makes dozens of back up plans and can improvises really quickly on the spot. He doesn’t bear grudges or expect to have his affection reciprocated, which leads to him being surprised when someone actually shows any affection back. He got used to people judging and hating him, either for things he’s done or that he is supposed to do in the future, and he just shrugs it off and keeps going. He’s not arrogant and cares little for showing a masculine ego, however, when pushed too hard or someone he cares about is in danger he gets more authoritative and threatening.
Flaws:Scott's parental influences had mostly reinforced, either voluntary or by accident, his sense of inferiority and self-doubt. Sinister’s manipulations over the years messed with his defining traits of personality, sowing the seeds of self-doubt and self-hatred as well as almost cutting him from any social abilities. Jack Winters with his physical and mental abuse made Scott's view of himself worse and crushed the little self-worth he had left albeit not enough that Scott would agree to everything the man wanted him to do. His refusal to kill and the need to do the right thing was something not even Winters could change. Xavier, while he gave him a safe place to live and develop his powers, harmed Scott just as much. Seeing in Scott the perfect person to help him accomplish his dream of a better future for mutankind, inadvertently (and on occasions, purposely) made Scott the equivalent of a child soldier, adding more pressure and tapping at his self-doubt.
He has been trained in military tactics since age 14 and sent on missions considered paramilitary, often for things he didn’t feel he was ready for due to his lack of control over his own powers. Scott has a tendency to blame himself for everything that went wrong, and that doesn't change much over the years. He feels that has to be the perfect leader, the one with the responsible head over his shoulder, the one always thinking ahead. As a result, his social skills aren’t exactly the best, not even when he’s around his closest friends.
He considers himself a freak and doubts himself more than he lets on. After being tricked by future Beast into time-traveling to the future, he also has to deal with the fallout from his older counterpart and the fall of the X-men, which added more insecurities to the pile. Scott is sometimes withdrawn, not always reading people’s emotions properly or others time reading them all too well and acting on reflex without thinking first. Such as the time he met Laura Kinney and ended giving her a hug because ‘she looked like she needed one’.
Scott’s inability to control his own powers made turned him into a control freak over everything else around him, and thus his personality is strongly connected to his mutant abilities. He lives in constant fear of hurting or killing someone by accident, something that turned him into a deeply repressed person that shies away from others to keep them safe.
POWERS/ABILITIES:Energy blasts: Scott emits blasts of
red energy out of his eyes. The range and force of said blasts changes accordingly to Scott’s own energy levels or how much he opens his eyes/visor. They’re a massive concussive force and can ricochet through different surfaces to hit one or more targets in one single shot.
Because of Scott’s brain injury, he has no control over the beams and his eyes constantly emanate the energy. The blast can be only hold back with his eyelids or with the use of ruby quartz lenses mounted in a visor and/or glasses. He tries to be very, very careful with them as he is terrified of hurting someone fatally.
Space awareness: Scott shows an enhanced sense of trigonometry and space awareness, it’s not clear if this is a superpower per se or a natural talent. He’s able to observe the objects around him and determine the trajectory his optics blast will take while being reflected, using that as his advantage during fights.
Scott was trained in different kinds of hand to hand combat since puberty, including Judo and Aikido. That said, in the end, he is only human and doesn't have enhanced strength or super healing.
