    Origin

    Charles Xavier was born into a wealthy family and was the son of a nuclear researcher named Brian Xavier. His powers come into light when he read the mind of a man who could have saved his father from a terrible accident. That man ended up marrying Charles' mother, Sharon Xavier.

    Creation

    Professor Xavier was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, first appearing in X-Men #1 in 1963. His character was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his physical inspiration was actor Yul Brynner.

    Character Evolution

    Charles Xavier had a vision of a world where humans and mutant could live together and benefit from each other's strengths. Xavier tried to achieve this by promoting the peaceful affirmation of mutant rights, facilitating the co-existence of mutants and humans, protecting mutants from humans, protecting humans from the evil mutants such as Magneto. His school for higher learning helped him reach out to young mutants and help mold them into responsible mutants who only used their powers for the benefits of all mankind. His relationship with the member of his school and its staff is later strained by his need to manipulate them to serve his purposes.

    He is often seen as an advocate for mutant rights and sought after for his thoughts on various mutant issues that exist in comics outside of the X-Men. Early on in the series, the X-Men almost never act without the permission or leadership if Xavier.

    Charles is seen to have a dark side in certain stories in the comic. This is seen during the Onslaught story line. Onslaught is created when Charles allows himself to succumbs to this darker side. He lets himself go too far against his enemy, Magneto and erases his mind.

    Later, Xavier shows that his manipulative and has many secrets that are kept from his team. His "Xavier Protocol" files are found by the X-Men, revealing his plans to kill any one of the X-Men, including himself, should there ever be a need to. Xavier also continues to experiment and test the Danger Room, even after he discovers that it has become sentient.

During that time, he receives a letter from her explaining that she has found another man. He later discovers that it was the abusive Joseph McTaggert.

    Deeply depressed when Moira broke off their engagement, Xavier began traveling around the world after leaving the army. In Cairo, he meets a young girl named Ororo Munroe (later known as Storm), who is a pickpocket, and the Shadow King, a powerful mutant who is posing as Egyptian crime lord Amahl Farouk.

While being stored in the new Cerebra mutant location devise, Xavier somehow manages to walk again. This to the surprise of his students and himself.

The purpose of the X-Corp is to watch over mutant rights and help mutants in need. As a result of being outed, the school no longer hided the fact that it was a school for mutants and it opened its doors for more mutants and even human students to come in. A student named Quentin Quire and members of his gang start a riot at the Xavier Institute during an open house at the school.

After the battle in New York with Xorn-Magneto, Magneto had contacted Xavier and told him he was still alive after Cassandra Nova's assault, but had remained all this time in Genosha. Xavier is one of the few people to know that Magneto had nothing to do with the death of Jean or the assault of New York. The two resolve their differences and attempt to restore their friendship, leading a team of mutants, The Genoshan Excalibur, to rebuild and restore order to the destroyed island nation.

    Even though Xavier's body is missing, they try to find him through Cerebro but cannot detect him. In the Deadly Genesis ( X-Men: Deadly Genesis) series before Xavier had sent a team to rescue the X-Men on Krakoa, he had sent another team from Moira and one of the students was Vulcan who was a brother of Cyclops. It was traumatizing for Cyclops knowing that he had a new found brother only to be killed after a brief meeting. In order to save Cyclops's life, Xavier wiped his memory of Vulcan and then assembled a new team, without the knowledge of Moira's team revealed to anyone else. The Collective revives Vulcan and the youth attacks the X-Men causing Xavier to come out of hiding. His legs have been restored after the House of M events and he was no longer a mutant. Vulcan forces Xavier to tell what he had done to Cyclops.

    Cyclops is angered by this and is ostracized by him, but some of the students are more forgiving. Xavier still forms a new team to battle Vulcan and take revenge on the Shi'ar Empire. While on the way, he is kidnapped by Chancellor K'Tor, who is the Shi'ar Vice Chancellor. Charles was then transported inside the M'Kraan Crystal by Vulcan, where his mutant powers were restored. He was later saved by Darwin and both of them, together with Warpath, Nightcrawler, and Hepzibah all escaped back to earth with the help of Lilandra. They left Havok, Marvel Girl and Polaris to form the new incarnation of the Starjammers with Corsair's old crew, after he was killed by Vulcan.

They are unnoticed by the Sentinels as Xavier had placed a cloaking device on the plane. Charles and Kurt travel to where someone claimed to see Erik. They arrive at a graveyard in Germany and they find out that Erik was looking at the headstone of one of his former loyal henchmen who had died since M-Day.

    Their search is cut short once they find out the Morlocks plan to blow up a church. The team stops the Morlocks and returns to the mansion. Back on earth, he encountered a very angry Hulk, who was searching for the members of the Illuminati, a group that had exiled him. Although Charles was not in attendance when the decision to exile the Hulk, he said that he would agree on his exile, but would eventually bring him back to earth in search for a cure. Nevertheless, the Hulk fought and defeated every X-Man that came and defended their mentor. He only stopped when Mercury showed him the gravestones in the Institute grounds and how the mutant population had been reduced to a few hundreds. Hulk having sensed that Charles had suffered enough soon left.

    Bishop shot Xavier!!

    In the Messiah Complex, Charles detected a new mutant since M-Day that is powerful enough to overload Cerebro. He asked Cyclops to send a team to retrieve the baby but they come back empty handed. Charles criticized Scott's decisions concerning the situation they are now in, from sending a team of X-Men finding the Acolytes, to forming the X-Force to track down his own son, Cable, but Scott only wanted Charles to leave the mansion because he has become a distraction to him. Later, Professor X was contacted by Cable about losing the mutant baby to the traitorous actions of Bishop, who in turn, lost the baby to the Marauders. Charles was later accidentally shot by Bishop, who was aiming for the baby. With the Professor dead, Cyclops declared that the X-Men are to be disbanded.

    It is revealed that Professor Xavier survived the gunshot inflicted by Bishop but he is in a coma. He is kidnapped by Exodus with the help of Tempo and Omega Sentinel. Exodus tries to heal Xavier but while in the coma, Xavier fights Exodus. In the end, Exodus approaches Magneto himself, who is apparently still depowered. Magneto and Omega Sentinel are able to stir up Xavier's memories, coaxing him out of his coma, but he is slightly confused and partly amnesiac. Later, as Exodus confronts Magneto about Joanna Cargill's fate, and is about to kill him, Xavier drags him onto the Astral Plane, putting his own restored mind at stake. After a harrowing psionic battle between the two, Xavier defeats Exodus, who reveals to him that the reason he abducted and restored his mind is that he wanted Xavier to lead the Acolytes and find the mutant messiah child in order to indoctrinate her into their cause. Xavier, disgusted with Exodus' words, calls him a fool and refuses to help him.

    During the battle between him and Exodus, Emma's telepathy picks up on the fight, and she realizes that Xavier is alive and tells Cyclops. After Xavier, Magneto and Omega Sentinel depart from the Acolytes' base, he leaves them both in order to try and regain his lost memories by visiting people from his past. His first visit was the with now depowered Carter Ryking (formally known as Hazard), who is a patient at the Ryking Secure Psychiatric Facility for going insane after losing his powers, and became more mentally unstable. Carter allowed Xavier to search his memories, to help him recover some of his memories. While reading his mind, Xavier discovers that when they were young, they were test subjects for Mister Sinister (he was called Nathan Milbury when Xavier was young), which was approved by Xavier's father. It appears that Mister Sinister had been manipulating Xavier's life for quite some time.

    Xavier eventually discovers that Mister Sinister plans to use him, Juggernaut, Sebastian Shaw, and Carter Ryking as potential hosts for Sinster's mind to take over by a machine he made. Xavier begins to bleed, and suddenly gives into Sinister. However Xavier is still alive, battling Sinister to regain his mind and body. Sebastian Shaw and Gambit find the machine of Mister Sinister and destroy it. Xavier defeats Sinster and removes him from of his body. After thanking Shaw and Gambit, he leaves them to go and see Cyclops. Xavier returns to the X-Mansion , only to find it in ruins. He leaves it to meet up with Cyclops after threatening him for the visit. Xavier tells Cyclops how Sinister was manipulating Cyclops's and Jean's lives and wants Cyclops to give him permission to scan his mind for any of Sinister's influence.

    However it turns out that Cyclops had secretly invited Emma Frost to their meeting and had entered into Xavier's mind. She shows Xavier his past and the wrong decisions he has made, for example: erasing Beast's existence from the minds of everyone who knew him, not believing Rogue when she needed his help, and erasing Cyclops's memory of meeting his brother Vulcan. Knowing what he had done was wrong, he says he must move on with his life and try to deal with the consequences. Emma ends inspecting his mind and reminded him of Moira Mac Taggert's last dying words. Xavier gives his blessing to Cyclops and continues his path to regain part of his memories.

    Xavier helps Wolverine to bring his son Daken from the Hellfire Club. After helping him, Xavier meets his step-brother Juggernaut. He finds Juggernaut in a bar, in which he has damaged, and has kept the costumers and the waiter trapped inside. Xavier and Juggernaut talk about the meaning of the name Juggernaut. They also talk about the time Cain was trapped in an another dimension, how he found the crystal that gave him his powers, and when he joined the X-Men. After they finished their conversation Xavier gave Juggernaut a small box as a gift, telling him to open it after Juggernaut kills him. Juggernaut eventually kills Xavier and is shown moving on with his life, defeating the X-Men, and having everything he wants. However, it turns out that none of what happened was real. When Juggernaut opens the box, given to him by Xavier, Xavier appears to him and tells him that everything that has happened except for smashing the bar happened in Juggernaut's mind.

    Charles tells him he entered his mind while he was sleeping. Xavier now understands Juggernaut better, and knows the path he chose to walk, but warns him not to stray onto his. Xavier's next path is to find Rogue. Xavier recruits Gambit to join him to go to Australia to find Rogue, who is staying at the X-Men's old headquarters. When they arrive, they find themselves trapped in Danger's holographic projection, in which it projects only Rogue's past life moments and her moments with the X-Men. After encountering some events in Rouge's life, Charles and Gambit encounter a Shi'ar salvage crew who were responsible for damaging Danger, which is why she created this holographic projections.

Xavier reveals to her that when she said her first words "Where am I?" he went and checked with her Shi'ar makers. They assured him that it could not happen. However, he felt her awareness, and her emotions. He explained that he wanted to release her, it's just that there were billions of lines of machine codes, he didn't know which line to erase without lobotomizing her. And even if he had succeeded, he feared that she might kill his X-Men, knowing everything about her. So he let her suffer while he watched. Xavier ends her suffering by fixing her, in which everything returns to normal. The Shi'ar crew shoot at Xavier, as they intend to take both Xavier and Danger to their emperor, Vulcan, who has put a bounty on Xavier.

In an interrogation with Captain America, Cyclops claims that Xavier was responsible for whatever good was inside him and that his death was a tragic and personal loss to him but that it was worth it for the re-emergence of mutants, a claim that infuriates Rogers. He says that Charles Xavier was one of the finest men he knew, that his death had no redeeming factors and that he pitied Summers if he thought so. Later, Alex Summers paid his brother a visit and coldly tells Scott that he was selfish during the Phoenix affair and that he abandoned Xavier and his teachings before killing him.

    Professor X is one of the most powerful telepathic mutants in the world. He is an Omega Class Telepath, equaling Emma Frost's abilities. He is able to read minds and communicate telepathically on a high level nearly anywhere around the world or even on a galactic level. With his telepathic power Professor X can manipulate, erase and create memories, control the actions of people and can mentally harm someone even to the degree of causing death. His gift allows him to opens channels of communication and plant suggestive thoughts even if a person is extremely far away. He is considered a very intelligent man, being able to learn things quickly by accessing someone's brain and learning from it. He can also give his teachings to other people by telepathy, and they can learn as quickly as him as well. This includes learning alien languages too. Xavier can also make it seem like he can alter time to a degree when Xavier trains a new group of mutants telepathically which seems as if they've only been learning for months when in reality it was in hours. In truth, this ability was just him using his telepathy to alter their perceptions of time. He also has the ability to project his astral form and control the astral plane.

    X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014)

    Both incarnations of Professor Xavier
    Both incarnations of Professor Xavier

    Both Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy reprise their roles in the crossover film, playing the younger and modern versions of Xavier, respectively. In the movie, the future version of Xavier is shown as one of the world's last surviving mutants following the rise of the Sentinels. With Magneto by his side, Xavier devises a plan to have Kitty Pryde use her secondary mutation to send Wolverine back in time to 1973, so that he can convince the younger Xavier to stop Mystique from assassinating Bolivar Trask, the man who proposed the Sentinel project. It is reasoned that if Trask is never killed, he will never become a global martyr for the cause of mutant extermination, and thus the Sentinels will never be created in the first place.

    Back in 1973, the younger Charles Xavier is shown to have become a drunken, disheveled wreck in the years since First Class. It is revealed that most of his teachers and older students had been drafted during the Vietnam War, and that Banshee had been killed some time after the formation of the X-Men. Due to these events, Charles had shut down the school, disbanded the X-Men, and begun taking a "cure" that allows him to walk again at the cost of his telepathy. After some convincing from the future version of Wolverine, Charles agrees to help stop Mystique.

    Near the end of the film, Charles agrees to stop taking the cure and accepts his disability, allowing for his powers to return. After a time-traveling conversation with his future self, he regains his courage to fight on and ultimately is able to convince Mystique to spare Trask, stating that he had spent his life controlling her actions, but that now she is free to choose her own path and do the right thing. The young Charles is last seen with a renewed sense of optimism, hoping that he can rebuild the X-Men and work towards the dream of peaceful cohabitation between humans and mutants.

    When Wolverine returns to the future, he finds that history has indeed been restored, and that the dead mutants (including Jean Grey and Cyclops) have now returned to life. In the final moments of the film, the older Charles smiles as he welcomes Logan back to the present, and tells his old friend that they have much to discuss.
