Add Us On Jump links follow Like Thread 2 Log in Many of the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe projects have been hit or miss with fans of the legendary franchise. Some projects like Loki have recaptured the excitement of the earlier MCU, while others like Ant-Men and the Wasp: Quantumania left fans feeling disconnected and upset with the beloved universe. Yet, the return of the mutants to Marvel Studios has offered some renewed hope and fans are eager to see Professor X and his X-Men join the fight alongside the Avengers and other heroes. And while there are popular X-Men like Wolverine, Jean Grey, Storm, and Scott Summers, the MCU can finally give proper recognition to a nearly forgotten member of the Summers family. Scott Summers a.k.a Cyclops is likely one of the most popular X-Men and has been featured as a central character in a vast multitude of X-Men comics. Scott was one of Professor X's first students and he has fought against Magneto and the injustices of humanity for a long time, yet his brother Alex Summers, has been almost as long but he is continually underrated or pushed to the side in favor of his brother. Alex Summers is a powerful mutant who has been mistreated in the comics and has failed to receive proper recognition on screen either. The MCU can finally give Alex Summer his due and allow him to thrive alongside his brother. Who is Alex Summers a.k.a Havok? Split image of Angel and Havok's Related X-Factor: Angel And Havok's From The Ashes Team, Explained Havok and Angel have assembled a new team of government-sponsored heroes to give mutantkind a PR facelift in Mark Russell and Bob Quinn's X-Factor. By David Harth May 15, 2024 Alex Summers a.k.a Havok first appeared in X-Men #54 in March 1969. Havok was created by Arnold Drake and Don Heck. Havok is most commonly associated with Madelyne Pryor, who he has an on-and-off relationship with. While Scott Summers has always been the golden child of the Summers family, Alex Summers is arguably just as important. After Alex and Scott were both left in an orphanage, Alex was adopted while Scott was left behind. Alex's powers let him absorb energy and turn it into powerful plasma blasts that leap from his body in circle patterns. If Alex doesn't control the plasma in one direction, the energy can go in all directions, causing untold damage. When Alex's powers first manifested he incinerated a boy who kidnapped his friend. Alex's powers were so strong that even Mister Sinister expected that Alex had even more potential than Scott. While Scott had a lot of control over his powers, Alex lacked control until he had a suit made for him that allowed him to finally keep his incredible powers under control. During this time, Alex discovered that his brother was now Cyclops and he went on to join the X-Men himself. Yet, after some time with the X-Men, Alex and Polaris quit the team's active membership but trouble continued to follow Alex. Alex continued his work in the sciences working with people like Moira McTaggert, but then his trouble began when he developed a relationship with Madelyne Pryor, Scott's wife. Scott had abandoned Madelyene for Jean Grey and Alex had developed a strong relationship with her. Madelyne and Alex's relationship has been a constant stream of trouble for the young mutant. When Madelyne became the Goblin Queen, she used Havok to help her carry out her plans. After Madelyne's death, Havok worked with Wolverine to help wherever he could and even prevented a nuclear disaster by absorbing energy and directing it to space. Havok went on to lead X-Factor, a government-sponsored mutant team. He fought many cosmic threats and became an outstanding hero. ✕ Remove Ads The biggest thing that tarnished Alex Summer's reputation was the events of AXIS. When the Red Skull stole Charles Xavier's brain, the Avengers and X-Men joined together and Alex Summers was chosen to lead the Unity Squad. Yet, a magical spell was cast that was intended to invert the Red Skull's brain, making his bad actions good and his good actions bad. This spell affected multiple heroes and villains including Alex, making him evil. While many heroes were saved from this spell, Alex was left evil for a long time. Alex continues to be manipulated by Emma Frost after Scott's actions during a war with the Inhumans. While Alex was a powerful hero in his original comics, modern comics have made him a constant pawn and pushed him to the side in favor of his brother. How the MCU Can Give Alex Summers What He Deserves Alex Summers a.k.a Havok in his X-Factor costume X-men mutants Onslaught, Mystique, and Colossus Related X-Men ’97: 10 Mutants Fans Want to See in Season 2 X-Men '97 features dozens of beloved characters, but there are still plenty of mutants fans want to see make their debut in Season 2. 1 By Kennedy Michael King May 30, 2024 ✕ Remove Ads Havok was featured in Fox's X-Men universe but was killed off before he could make a huge impact. The MCU can show the extent of Havok's powers, the influence he had when he led X-Factor, and make him stand out from his brother. The Fox universe tried to bring Alex Summers to the forefront, but even it killed Alex as soon as Scott appeared. In Age of Apocalypse, Alex welcomes Scott to Xaviers Academy and then is almost immediately killed by Apocalypse and his followers. There is no better representation of how Alex Summers is treated when compared with his brother than this. The MCU is likely going to be exploring a lot of different mutant teams beyond just the traditional X-Men and X-Factor is one of the perfect teams to start with. X-Factor worked with the government as their mutant task force, a concept that has already been explored in Captain America: Civil War. It would make sense that as a new superpower emerges into the world, the government would want to forge a close bond and even some control over it since they failed to do that with the Avengers. This would perfectly lead to the introduction of Alex Summers. If the X-Men have Scott Summers then having Alex lead X-Factor, like in the comics, would help to create a natural bond between the two groups.

The MCU would be wise to avoid retrading too much of the ground that X-Men '97 so the MCU could focus on Alex's relationship with Magneto's daughter Polaris as opposed to his relationship with Madelyne. Focusing on this relationship can also make Alex and more important figure when balancing relationships between the X-Men and Magneto. The MCU could also explore the consequences of Alex turning evil, and possibly even telling the story in a way that improves it over the original comic storyline. Scott Summers has been the focus of countless pieces of entertainment over the years. From taking the forefront in the comics to always being the center of live-action and animated stories. As the MCU looks to do a different take on mutants, Alex Summers is the perfect character to shift focus too. He keeps fans connected to the original X-Men while also offering a chance for redemption for a character that is often forgotten about and pushed aside.
