Mutant of the Week: Professor X

Name: Charles Frances Xavier
Powers and Abilities: Telepathy.  He is quite possibly the worlds strongest telepath.  He can read minds and project thoughts into other peoples minds.
First Appearance: X-Men #1 (1963)

Most everyone who has seen the X-Men films or even seen even a page of the comics knows who Professor X is.  Therefore, I do not feel the need to explain his whole story.  Instead, this week I am just giving quick bullet points and important notes.  As always, you can read his full story at the Marvel page here.

-Born to a nuclear physicist Brian Xavier and his wife Sharon.  His father passed away and Sharon remarried his partner Kurt Marko.  Charles was then bullied by his step-brother Cain.   Kurt knew and beat Cain as punishment.  Charles could feel this pain due to his emerging abilities.
-His mother and stepfather died in a house fire.
-Went to Oxford University
-Fell in love with Moira Kinross.  Entered the army to win her affection.  He was put into the same unit as his stepbrother and witnessed what he thought was his death.
-Spine shattered during battle with his old enemy Farouk.

Professor X is portrayed by Sir Patrick Stewart.
