The first of Charles Xavier's X-Men, Scott Summers is known as much for his serious personality as he is his powerful optic blasts. Rescued by Xavier and hand picked to lead the team's first incarnation of heroes, the mutant known as Cyclops is the epitome of selflessness, proving time and again that good leaders lead through example. While he may not be as interesting as his more colorful counterparts, his skills as a tactician are equal to none. Recent events have arguably seen Cyclops fall from grace, but the fact remains that every decision he makes, good or bad, is made for the betterment of mutantkind.

There’s no questioning Thor’s place amongst the elite pantheon of Marvel heroes. The son of Odin and heir to Asgard, Thor has long been a champion of the downtrodden, whether he’s smashing frost giants on Jotunheim or battling alongside the Avengers on Midgard. Possessor of the mighty Mjolnir, a magic hammer of devastating power, Thor’s remarkable strength is outshone only by his unwavering belief in humanity. The first into battle and the last to leave, this founding Avenger will let nothing get in his way when it comes to protecting the innocent. And if something does get in his way, well, that's what the hammer is for is for punching.
