With the X-Men disturbed at Scott's more violent policies — including attacking police officers and various officials for illegally detaining mutants after their powers manifested — but unwilling to actively confront him for fear of triggering a mutant civil war, a chance comment by Iceman inspires Beast to pursue a new solution; he travels back in time to recruit the Scott Summers from the early days of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to convince the present Scott that what he was doing was wrong.<ref name="All-New X-Men #1">''All-New X-Men'' #1</ref> It is also speculated that those who either possessed or had strong interactions with the Phoenix Force have had their abilities altered in varying ways. This leaves the present day Cyclops with little to no control over his powers.<ref name="All-New X-Men #3">''All-New X-Men'' #3</ref>

It is also revealed that the "Mutant Revolution" and Cyclops in particular have gained popular support among the general public, despite continued distrust and animosity from the Avengers and X-Men.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 2 #1</ref>

Later it was revealed that the reason for this alteration was not from the exposure to the Phoenix Force but because they had been infected by [[Dark Beast (Marvel Comics)|Dark Beast]] with nano-sentinels. Once they removed the nano-sentinels from their bodies, they regained total control over their powers.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' vol. 3 #22</ref>
