History
Christopher Summers was an Air Force test pilot. He and his wife Kate lived in Alaska for much of their sons' early lives, but Christopher's career forced a move south when Alex was eight and Scott was fifteen. Their plane ran into difficulties and although the boys were saved when they were pushed out of the plane, sharing the only parachute, their parents both died in the crash.
Alex and Scott went through a number of years thinking that they had lost all of their family in the crash, including each other, until they reconnected when Alex came to the attention of Charles Xavier, who sent Scott to pick him up and bring him to the school. Charles also located Scott and Alex's grandparents, after some searching. Phillip and Deborah Summers run a small private air charter company in Anchorage, Alaska, and had spent the intervening years believing that their son, his wife, and their grandchildren had all died in the crash.
Scott and Alex quickly became very close with their grandparents. Phillip and Scott shared a deep love of flying, and Alex was happy to just bask in his grandmother's love. They spent Christmas there in 2004 and 2005, at which point Scott and Jean gave in to the fact that they would never successfully plan a 'big' wedding and eloped.
Phillip and Deborah quickly learned that their grandsons were trouble magnets of a very special sort. They came down to Seattle to visit Scott in the hospital after he lost his eye doing riot-control work, and looked after him when he fled to Alaska after Jean left him. They also traveled to Westchester to spend time with Alex after he was kidnapped by Daniel Lyman, who forced Scott to trade himself for his brother. In December 2006, Scott invited them to Westchester for the holiday, planning to introduce them to Jean's family, something long overdue.
