Origin

Ever since Christopher Summers was a boy, he loved the adventures of the swashbuckling heroes of old novels and movies. Even as a major in the United States Air Force, he chose the call sign "Corsair" in homage to them. Chosen for the space program, he hoped he would soon travel into space. He got his wish,but not in the way he would have wanted. Following a visit to his parents in Anchorage, Alaska, Major Summers was flying his wife, Katherine Summers, and his sons, Scott (Cyclops) and Alex (Havok), down the Pacific coast in his private plane when they were attacked by a Shi'ar starship. Scott and Alex parachuted to safety, but Major Summers and his wife were teleported aboard the starship and taken back to the Shi'ar thrownworld. The Major was imprisoned but escaped only to find Emperor D'Ken attempting to force himself on Katherine. D'Ken murdered Katherine before Summers' eyes and then sentenced him to the mines of the planet Alsibar.

PRISON BREAKOUT

Slowly, Christopher Summers' spirit was broken, until he encountered a female, catlike alien who was being beaten by guards. Outraged, Summers attacked the guards, and two more prisoners,Ch'od and Raza, came to his assistance. Together, they stole a spaceship and escaped. Summers took the name Corsair and called his new band of outlaws the Starjammers. They became pirates,revenging themselves on the Sh'ar by attacking thier spacecraft. The Starjammers helped the X-Men to stop the Shi'ar Emporer D'Ken's attempt to destroy the universe with the M'Kraan Crystal. In grantituide, Lilandra unofficially put an end to the feud between the Empire and the Starjammers. After she was overthrown by Deathbird, Lilandra found refuge with the team until she regained the Shi'ar throne.
