Professor Charles Francis Xavier (also known as Professor X) is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published byMarvel Comics. He is known as the leader and founder of the X-Men. Throughout most of his comic book history, Xavier is paraplegic, although his body houses one of the world's most powerful mutant minds. As a high-level telepath, Xavier can read, control, and influence human minds. Ascientific genius, he is also a leading authority on genetics, mutation, and psionic powers. Xavier resents the violent methods of Magneto, and argues for a pacifist path towards civil rights.
Sir Patrick Stewart has portrayed Professor X throughout all the X-Men films, except for X-Men: First Class in which James McAvoy portrays a younger version. Both actors are set to star as Xavier in the upcoming sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past. Stewart also voiced the character in theX-Men Legends games and in the video game X2: Wolverine's Revenge. The character has often been compared with Martin Luther King, Jr.during the civil rights struggle.[1][2]
Xavier has appeared in all six live-action X-Men feature films to date: X-Men, X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class and The Wolverine. He is played by Patrick Stewart in the first four and sixth films and by James McAvoy in First Class. It is implied that Xavier is one of the most powerful mutants in the world. A character with the same name appeared in the Superhero Movie (2008), helping Rick and showing him through his superhero-gifted school.
