The Summers family is perhaps the most prominent kin of mutant next to Charles Xavier’sX - Men . Their line has produced some of the most powerful mutant in the Marvel universe and , as such , suffer a last name of " Summers " in the Marvel comics is a quick just the ticket to the Z story classification of mutant power ( usually ) . For that to happen , though , dark and convoluted family dramas and tragedy have to happen .

For the Summers , it often come in the form of deception , treachery , and more trips to the past and future than the amount of fuzz on your oral sex ( does n’t count if you ’re bald ) . Of course , you could depend that their family tree , starting with the Summers brothers , is perplexing . There are brawny mutation leave and right , and how they ’re connected is not always exculpated . However , 10 of them tolerate out for being more powerful than some of the worshipful beings of the Marvel universe . Here they are :

SCOTT SUMMERS (CYCLOPS)

Scott ( orCyclops ) probably does n’t even deserve to be so high up on this lean ( trust us , this is high enough already ) . His mutant powers are quite simple : he shoots laser . Well , in reality the more intricate explanation is that his chromosomal mutation reserve him to draw ambient energy ( solar radiation , cosmic rays , or photons ) and channel them as a beam through open his eyes … uncontrollably , hence his peculiar visor .

He does n’t really hold a candela compared to the ilk of Professor X or Magneto . Still , it would be a offense not to let in him in this list since he ’s directly creditworthy for the most powerful mutants further down this roll . It was his liaisons with sure powerful mutant that have created what can be considered by some as " perfect mutants , " and the Phoenix Force ( a powerful cosmic entity ) goes softheaded for those .

ALEXANDER SUMMERS (HAVOK)

We regret to inform you that Scott may actually be the weakest among the three Summers brothers . His sidekick , Alex ( Havok ) is pretty much like him and has similar powers . Instead of being able to fancy the energy with his eyes , however , Alex can let that bottled - up vigor all out with his whole soundbox . This makes him potentially more dangerous than Scott .

He even call for a extra courtship sometimes to contain his mutant ability and center them . It ’s similar to Cyclops ' vizor . The difference is that Havok ’s is a caboodle more acute . Even he is resistant to Scott ’s opthalmic energy blasts . Furthermore , Alexander can also expend his take in muscularity to give himself some ensure flight capabilities .

GABRIEL SUMMERS (VULCAN)

Gabriel ( Vulcan ) had the bad luck of being yanked forth from Earth by the aliens . Technically , it was his pregnant female parent who was snatch by a extremity of the regal family of the Shi’Ar empire ( one of the biggest alien empires in the Marvel universe ) . Gabriel was extracted from the uterus and place in an incubation chamber , where he was immediately and quickly aged into an adult .

Yes , apart from being an abductee , he also had no puerility . Nevertheless , Gabriel rise up to be the most knock-down out of the Summers pal . Like them , he can also plunge any energy and channel it in a violent manner . He can even use such vigor to fly and heal himself rapidly . Too bad that did n’t keep him from dying after being swallow by a sentient island on Earth .

NATHAN SUMMERS (CABLE)

Nataniel Christopher Charles Summers or Nathan ( Cable ) is technically Scott ’s first prescribed child . queerly enough , he ’s sort of illegitimate . He was borne to Scott and a Jean Grey clone made by Mr. Sinister . Scott eventually discover out and provide the fake Jean Grey clone . Regardless , this did n’t prevent Sinister ’s plan to make Cable a genetically higher-ranking variation .

Cable ’s powers , as a result of the union between Scott and a Jean Grey template , let in telepathy , psychokinesis , time travelling , and the standard superhuman capability ( speed , forcefulness , endurance , and healing ) . Cable ’s also a skipper combatant and a all important variation in the next versions of Earth . That did n’t preclude him from being incessantly punked and ridiculed by Deadpool , though .

MADELYNE PRYOR

Remember that fake / clone Jean Grey ( Cable ’s female parent ) ? This is her real name . It was revealed once she found out that she was a mere written matter made by another fiendish variation . Madelyne was go away by Scott once he establish out that she was just a ringer and that the real Jean Grey had been resurrected . As a resultant , Madelyne went ballistic and her cloned Jean Grey baron became magnify .

Initially , as a Jean Grey clone , Madelyne only had telepathic and telekinetic powers . After being manipulate into becoming the Red / Goblin Queen and as a result of being heartbroken by Scott , her powers develop even more . She developed the ability to warp reality , enhance her own intensity level , teleportation , and siphon the psionic energy of other mutants . Of course , being modeled after Jean Grey , her volatile power are already a given .

RACHEL SUMMERS (PRESTIGE)

Every phallus of the Summers family before this point has been on Earth 616 ( a.k.a . the official Earth of the Marvel population ) . However , some alternative world Summers are but too sinewy to appease out of sight in their own pocket of reality . Hence , we introduce you with Rachel Summers ( Prestige ) . She ’s the logical girl of Scott and the real Jean Grey in a realness where the Sentinels have taken over America ( Days of Future Pastcomic books ) .

As a result , Rachel is pretty much a Jean Grey Jr. ( she even inherited her haircloth ) . She inherited her mother ’s divine telepathic and telekinetic abilities . If you ’re not cognizant already , the Phoenix Force ( one of the most muscular cosmic entities in the Marvel universe ) regularly choose Jean Grey as a boniface . Rachel , being like to her female parent , is also a Phoenix Force boniface . That mean she can on a regular basis pink into its power .

FRANKLIN RICHARDS

As some of you might have hazard already , Franklin is the mutant son of Fantastic Four ’s Reed Richards and Sue Storm . Hence , apart from his mutant capability of molecular handling , telepathy , and literally being able to make a sack universe , he ’s also passing smart . He ’s even said to be on the same floor as the Celestials .

On the official Earth , he never really became a extremity of the Summers family . On the same alternate realness where Rachel Summers was bear , however , Franklin actually married her and   the two even had   kids together . Basically , they were the X - Men ’s ideal index couple , both of whom could change the whole macrocosm on their whim . It ’s too bad they only exist on an alternative solid ground .

HOPE SUMMERS

While Earth 616 never really got something as stable and bright as the Franklin - Rachel mutant tandem bicycle , it still had Hope Summers . Hope is the adopted girl of Cable , making her Scott ’s adopted grandchild . Nevertheless , she ’s demonstrate to be a fitting penis of the Summers category tree diagram ; she ’s somewhat of a messiah child . Hope was actually bear after Scarlet Witch decimate the mutant universe of Earth . Her female parent was a homo and her father was nameless .

As for why everyone ’s after the mutant messiah , Hope ? She can essentially mimic and control other mutant superpowers , enhance go forth mutant great power in other individuals , has psychokinesis and telepathy , and she ’s virtually undetectable through psychic mean value . Hope was responsible for redeem the basically endangered mutant race on Earth 616 .

JONATHAN RICHARDS (HYPERSTORM)

That minor Franklin and Rachel had ? He ’s named Jonathan ( Hyperstorm ) and he ’s simply too much to palm for Earth 616 . gratefully , he does n’t exist there ; he ’s confined in the alternate reality of Franklin and Rachel . The dude is fundamentally a   mutant version of DC ’s all-powerful Superman ( but immorality ) . Jonathan was so powerful , he admit over his own post - revelatory world as Hyperstorm and localize it straight . Hyperstorm ’s power include being able to misrepresent world , invisibility , telepathy , telekinesis , and extreme healing .

He did n’t lay off at his human race : he also inhibit other planets , galaxies , and nearly conquered most of the universe . He position out to capture other timelines as well since he was disgruntled with just his own reality . Hyperstorm was only " overcome " through Galactus , who consumed and take up him into a dimensional void in the universe .

JEAN GREY

Well , what do you know ? The most powerful phallus of the Summers kinsperson was n’t even a Summers . Not ab initio , at least . Jean Grey ’s powerfulness as an Z level mutant is undeniable . Her regular ego with the most powerful psychokinesis and telepathy among mutants is already formidable . How she became the most sinewy sport ever is through the Phoenix Force .

Jean was the original and truthful host of the Phoenix Force . Once she bonded with the cosmic entity , she was able to trip through space and time . The Phoenix Force also essentially made her immortal , as she was able to resurrect herself with it . Jean has even shoot down the the like of Galactus singlehandedly with the Phoenix Force . Scott , or even the whole Summers home tree , really lucked out on her .
