Alter Ego 101 with Professor Scott Summers

Professor Summers is here to teach the X-Men how to stay in alter-ego form for most of the game and take advantage of all the alter-ego support luxuries accessible to mutants.

Cerebro and the 3 psionics in the deck make it fairly easy to access any ally within the deck. 3 copies of X-Men Instruction allow Professor Summers to tuck defeated/discarded allies back into the deck to recur with Cerebro on future turns. Holding class in the X-Mansion is his preference as it enhances the effectiveness of his teaching and allows him to heal up priority students. Med Lab also ensures any ill students are recurred back to the classroom on a more consistent basis.

With 6 allies that have "enters play" effects in the deck, Professor Summers loves to see his allies leave and re-enter the classroom. He wants to keep least one Psionic in play to leverage Cerebro effectively; Phoenix is probably the best pick for that given that Professor X leaves play at the end of the round to teach another class and Professor Summers likes seeing Psylocke return after exhausting her counters.

Given the alter-ego nature of the class, Professor Summers has found some time for Meditation really helps his students get the most out of their coursework.

Professor Summers is a distinguished academic and his Honorary X-Men title reflects that while allowing him to tap into further support normally available only on his hero form, including Utopia, The X-Jet, and Team-Building Exercise

Between Psylocke, Professor X, and Dazzler, Professor Summers is content to stay in alter-ego form with consistent application of confusion statuses to the villain.

Professor Summers is welcome to take a sabbatical to throw down some extra damage in hero form, but he really loves being in the classroom and sharing his free tactic upgrades that he can pull in alter-ego form each turn!
