Debut Era
1960s
The world's most powerful telepath and founder of the X-Men. Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants is the philosophical foundation of the entire franchise — but the man himself is far more complicated than his dream. He has lied, manipulated, erased memories, and made terrible compromises in service of his vision. The tension between Xavier's ideals and his methods is the engine that drives the X-Men.
