== Charactah Account ==
Professor Charles Xavier is the creator of the X-Men and founder of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. His dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humanity has long been the driving force for the X-Men. An immensely powerful telepath and scientific genius, Xavier was among the world's greatest masterminds. Killed at the hands of a Phoenix crazed Cyclops, Xavier's memory and dream still remains and motivates his X-Men to keep fighting for a world that fears and hates them.
Charles Xavier had a vision of a world where humans and mutant could live together and benefit from each other's strengths. Xavier tried to achieve this by promoting the peaceful affirmation of mutant rights, facilitating the co-existence of mutants and humans, protecting mutants from humans, protecting humans from the evil mutants such as Magneto. His school for higher learning helped him reach out to young mutants and help mold them into responsible mutants who only used their powers for the benefits of all mankind. His relationship with the member of his school and its staff is later strained by his need to manipulate them to serve his purposes.
Charles Xavier is often seen as an advocate for mutant rights and sought after for his thoughts on various mutant issues that exist in comics outside of the X-Men. Early on in the series, the X-Men almost never act without the permission or leadership if Xavier.

== Trivia ==
* In the early comics he could give this impression, with his habit of keeping secrets and insisting others do the same painting him as a far more morally-ambiguous figure than Lee and Kirby intended him to be. Later writers made this an actual character trait of his, and one that he is called out on and has to atone for.
* In X-Men #3, Xavier infamously admits that Jean is “the one I love! But I can never tell her! I have no right! Not while I’m the leader of the X-Men, and confined to this wheelchair”. Stan Lee must have realized right away how controversial this plotline would have been, because he never referenced it again, but neither readers nor writers ever forgot, to the point of it being revisited three decades later during the Onslaught story.
* "To me, my X-Men!" The phrase debuted in the final page of X-Men #1 (September, 1963) and would be reused for decades.
* According to an interview with Stan Lee, the visual appearance of Xavier was originally based on Yul Brynner. In more recent years, he's been based on Patrick Stewart.
* When written by lazy writers (or Stan Lee) he had a bad habit of being used this way. If he's appearing as a floating disembodied head, it's usually to deliver an exposition dump.
