The rest of the world knows him as the venerable philanthropist and x-geneticist Dr. Charles Xavier, but to many mutants in his orbit he is simply The Professor. | ||

{{Tab}}Born into wealth and privilege, Charles Xavier focused his scientific studies on the mystery of the powerful telepathic abilities he manifested as a child. In 1973, he proposed the idea of an unknown genetic factor that triggers remarkable leaps in evolution, though his thesis on the subject garnered very little attention at the time. The trajectory of his life was forever altered when in 1975 he met and befriended another mutant, Erik Lensherr. | {{Tab}}Born into wealth and privilege, Charles Xavier focused his scientific studies on the mystery of the powerful telepathic abilities he manifested as a child.

They called their nation "Utopia", and for the few short years it existed, it was an almost self-sufficient, largely egalitarian, and wholly communistic society. When the United States sent a naval taskforce to subdue what they called a rogue state, Utopia tried to evacuate but still lost dozens of lives when the ships brought the full force of their bombardment to bear. In the chaos of their last stand, Charles was badly wounded and rendered paraplegic. | ||
{{Tab}}Charles, Erik, and a handful of Utopians returned to Westchester and gradually built their community back up and fostered the beginnings of the mutant rights movement. As the historic but anonymous Subjects X and Y, they helped Moira isolate and sequence the X-gene and later founded Genetic Equality and the Mutant Liberation Front. Despite their love and respect for one another, Charles and Erik came to disagree on the best way to secure a safe and free future for their people. After Erik departed Xavier Mansion (with a few members of their little family), Charles founded Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a middle and high school dedicated to helping mutant children who need shelter, education, or assistance learning to control their powers. | {{Tab}}Charles, Erik, and a handful of Utopians returned to Westchester and gradually built their community back up and fostered the beginnings of the mutant rights movement.
