X-Men Prologue

In Southern California - 1986 at the Rhapsody in Blue school prom where everything was blue with high school kids dancing and eating at the tables. Among them was Scott Summers and his date Selina Ki. Scott had bumped into a wall and his eyes had begun to hurt. He was able to see fine at first, though unable to control it, and unaware of what he was doing, Scott had opened his eyes and the blast had destroyed everything in his line of sight. Scott left the prom and was later found by Professor Charles Xavier.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Scott appears first in a language class. His head is down, and he is messing with his glasses. When the teacher tells him to sit up and take of the glasses, he says he has a headache. The teacher then says he can wear them after school in detention. In detention, he is seen writing on the board when Sabretooth taps on the window. He runs but he is caught. William Stryker came and took him. He spent days entrapped at Stryker’s mutant prison base along with Emma and other young mutants. His power, along with theirs, was used to power Stryker’s deadly Weapon XIaka “Deadpool." Scott escaped the compound along with Emma and was greeted by Charles Xavier. Scott met Jean Grey and they started having a romantic relationship. Scott was taught for years by Xavier to control his powers, Cyclops became the field leader of the X-Men and a teacher at his school.

X-Men

Scott and Storm rescued Logan and Rogue from a fire in Logan's caravan and from Sabretooth who had been sent by Magneto, and brought them back to Xavier's school. After properly meeting Logan, the pair had many minor arguments, usually due Logan's attraction to Jean Grey.

Nevertheless Scott effectively led the X-Men to stop Magneto's attempt to turn world leaders into mutants using a device on the Statue of Liberty. He got trapped by Toad but got out with his Optic Blast. He also saved Phoenix from Toad by shooting the slime off her face. He took down Sabretooth and Magneto.

X2: X-Men United

During a school excursion to the museum of natural history shortly after the incident at the Statue of Liberty, Jean told Scott that she felt that something terrible was about to occur. Scott assured Jean that he would not let anything happen to her.

Later, Summers accompanied Charles Xavier to Erik Lehnsherr's plastic prison. While waiting for Xavier, Lady Deathstrike and the security guards attacked Cyclops. After defeating the guards, Scott went to free the Professor but Lady Deathstrike approached Scott and knocked him out and took the unconscious Scott and Professor X to Colonel William Stryker's facility at Alkali Lake.

After Stryker brainwashes him, he has Scott wait for the X-Men. He found Magneto, Mystique and Phoenix and he fired his optic blasts but Jean sensed it, pushed Erik and Raven out of the way and told them to go. Jean fought against Scott while attempting to break Stryker's brainwashing and during the struggle, Scott' blasts caused the lake's dam to collapse. After successfully breaking through Stryker's brainwashing, Scott and Jean escaped from Stryker's facility and entered the X-Jet but the dam had already begun giving way. Jean got out of the jet and seemingly sacrificed her life to stop the water hitting the X-Jet.

X-Men: The Last Stand

After spending months mourning Jean's death and trying to cope with his grief, Scott returned to Alkali Lake because he kept hearing the voice of Jean. There he encountered the resurrected Phoenix, who came out of the lake and tells Scott to take his glasses off, but with Scott knowing of his powers she takes them off by saying that she can control it and they kiss. However, Jean loses control. He was believed to be dead by the X-Men and Jean who would only know but was too confused and memory wiped to know. His grave is later seen alongside Phoenix's and Professor X's who did not really die but were believed to be dead.
