Don't worry; I'm currently (albeit slowly) working on a rebooted respect thread; if you have any suggestions for feats, please let me know in case I don't have them.
After taking full responsibility for X-Force's actions and the deaths of every X-Man since the start of the Messiah Complex and ordering X-Force's disbanding, Scott was forgiven, by most, and Steve Rogers stated that after saving all of the human and mutant lives in the dome, it was time for the X-Men to step into the light. Scott was awarded a medal from the President and 5 new mutant births were detected by Cerebra.
After Jubilee was infected by Vampires and receiving info from Blade that Dracula's son Xarus has been declared Lord of all the Vampires and planned to turn all mutants, Scott ordered the resurrection of Dracula. After Anole became sick, Cyclops ordered a quarantine of Utopia, sealing everyone that was there on the island and blocking everyone that was off, before learning that Lobe was behind it.
Cyclops later discovered about a group of superpowered teenagers calling themselves the "New X-Men." After these duplicates were defeated in battle against the Collective Man, Cyclops ordered that the "New X-Men" were brought to Utopia for interrogation. Later, Cyclops had a video conference with Lobe, who revealed his plan. Lobe had created a drug that could grant mutant powers to anyone who ingested it, the "New X-Men" were some of his test subjects. He also planned to sell the drug to anyone who could afford it. This would grant mutant powers to anyone, effectively rendering mutants irrelevant. Lobe wanted Cyclops to sell him the commercial rights for the mutant genome in exchange for the cure, but Cyclops refused.
Later, Cyclops interrogated "Angel", Lobe's counterpart for Angel. After obtaining Lobe's location from her, Cyclops berated her for thinking that being an X-Man is a joke. Cyclops sent Lobe's location to Angel and his team, who went to attack Lobe just as he presented the drug to a large group of investors. Lobe and the investors ingested the drug, obtaining mutant powers and overwhelming Angel's team. Cyclops decided to break quarantine to help them.
Cyclops and a rescue team helped Angel's team fight the investors. During the battle, Cyclops brandished a flamethrower to compensate for his lack of powers. However, Lobe set the mutant plague to its maximum power. The X-Men, including Cyclops, was infected by the virus. However, the virus also affected Lobe and his investors. Cyclops forced Lobe to deactivate the virus, saying that the "New X-Men" were also infected by the virus when they were brought to Utopia.
With everyone cured, the investors pulled out from Lobe's plan. Cyclops and Angel decided to sue Lobe, saying that if he gave them everything he had to hurt anyone, he could go to a normal prison.
Cyclops talked with the "New X-Men", who apologized to him for trying to take over the X-Men's lives. Cyclops accepted their apologies, but suddenly realized that Penny Newsom was absent. Later, Cyclops would tell Storm to destroy all the remaining mutant drugs.
* Prelude to X-men: Schism... this is what Charles and Erik have to say about Scott:
"I was wrong. Not about me. About you. You've done what I could never do: You've united mutantkind and provided us a safe haven and a common purpose. You made it happen. Except it's suddenly not so safe. We've only just come into being, yet it may all be gone by this time tomorrow. Unless you make your first big decision as our leader a good one."
- Charles
"I won't thank you for what you've done, or for what you're about to do, Scott Summers. My thanks are not enough. Instead, let me thank you on behalf of my father, Jakob Eisenhardt of Nurnberg. A good Jew and a true hero of Germany."
- Erik
* nice going there, pal... i just think you're in the wrong thread...
* here's Scott's quote in Prelude to X-men: Schism...
"... that's why I am a leader. The blind leading the blind, maybe... but a leader nonetheless. A leader because I'm prepared to take the fall, and because I'm prepared to make the hard decisions. Such as the one you made, Mom, that day you pushed Alex and I out into the sky with a single parachute between us. Because a leader knows, it's not so hard to die for your people. It's hard to order your people to die for you. And leading with certainty into an uncertain future doesn't require sight. It requires vision. It requires holding on. And no matter what happens, never letting go..."
