Summers also married Jean Grey, and two different time-traveling children from alternate dimensions exist in their world. One is Rachel Summers, also known as Phoenix, and the other is Nathan Summers, known mainly as Cable; both are also mutants. Cyclops also discovered that his father is Corsair, a space pirate who is the leader of a band of outlaws called The Starjammers.
