Professor X

"You're afraid, I remember."

- Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past

Professor Charles Xavier, or just Xavier for short, is the founder of the X-Men and a dedicated champion of mutant/human co-existence - forming the X-Men as a means to protect the world against evil and criminal mutants as well as anti-mutant humans that sought to destroy or enslave each other.

Professor Xavier's ultimate goal is a world were all people are equal regardless of their origin and although paralysed from the waist down he is a hero - without him the X-Men would never of existed and without his guidance many of the heroes we grew to love would of turned to darkness in their hours of need.

Powers and Abilities
Telepathy:Able to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 250 miles (on Earth). With extreme effort he can greatly extend that radius. When synched with Cerebro or Cerebra, he can connect to every mind on a planet. After he was thrown into the M'Kraan Crystal, it not only restored his mutation, but made his telepathy more powerful than it has been previously, thereby making him the world's most powerful telepath once again.
 * Illusions:Charles can create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
 * Telepathic Cloak:Charles can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
 * Mind Link:Charles can develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
 * Telepathic Camouflage:Charles can mask himself, and other peoples' presence from those around him. Can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).
 * Mind Blast:Charles can place place large amounts of information in another person's mind.
 * Mind Control:Charles can control the minds of others upon mere concentration. This power can allow him to completely shut down several people's minds, making it appear as if time has stopped.

In the astral realm, he can use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. He cannot engage in long range astral projection on the earthly plane.

 * Master Tactician & Strategist:Xavier is also quite the masterful tactician and strategist, effectively evaluating situations and devising swift responses; he has, on numerous occasions, even fashioned long-term operations as complex as those of adversaries such as Sinister, Magneto, and Apocalypse.

Military Training:Charles served in the United States Military, secretly employing his abilities to specialize in search and rescue missions.

Expert Fighter:In his travels in the East, he became a proficient hand-to-hand combatant and gained knowledge of pressure points.
