Professor X

Professor **Charles Francis Xavier**, also known as **Professor X**, was a Mutant from Earth-838 with telepathic powers and member of the Illuminati. Professor X aided the other members of the Illuminati in killing Thanos on Titan. A few years later, Professor X attended a meeting of the Illuminati when Doctor Strange was bought before them having been detained after travelling the Multiverse. When Scarlet Witch attacked their headquarters, Professor X gave Strange some parting advice before confronting Maximoff. Xavier attempted to defeat her telepathically, but Maximoff tore the head off his astral body instead, killing him.

### Member of the Illuminati

#### Joining Illuminati

Charles Xavier was a Mutant telepath whose status and power soon made him be approached by Stephen Strange to join the Illuminati, a group of powerful individuals that would make the difficult decisions no one else could.

In 2018, Xavier and the Illuminati banded together to stop the ferocious crusade of the genocidal Thanos. Seeing no other way to defeat Thanos, Stephen Strange turned to the Darkhold, against the better judgement of Xavier and the rest of the team. Thanos was ultimately defeated and slain on the planet Titan, with Xavier present alongside the rest of the Illuminati.

However, Strange's actions had caused an Incursion, eradicating two whole universes entirely. Realizing the atrocities he had committed, Strange had surrendered himself to death, and knelt before Xavier and the rest of the team. Xavier told him he would miss him dearly, before Black Bolt stepped forwards and told him he was sorry. The power of his voice vaporized Strange, as Xavier shut his eyes in sorrow.

Xavier and his teammates later returned to Earth, where all people expressed their gratitude for their victory against the Mad Titan. However, to prevent humanity from losing faith in their heroes, Xavier and the rest of the Illuminati claimed that Strange sacrificed himself to stop Thanos, leading the people of the Earth to remember Strange as the greatest hero of his age. Xavier and the Illuminati later offered Karl Mordo to join the Illuminati's ranks to fill Strange's vacant place.

#### Meeting an Alternate Doctor Strange

After an alternate universe's Doctor Strange and his colleague America Chavez were captured and apprehended by Mordo for transversing the multiverse, they were brought forth to the Illuminati to have their fates decided. The alternate universe Strange was introduced to the Illuminati before being told the truth of what happened to their Doctor Strange, referred to as Earth-838 Strange, and the actions he had committed. Xavier's associates explained that because of their Strange causing an Incursion, they believed all versions of Doctor Strange to be just as capable of evil and destruction, despite Earth-616 Strange's plead that it was the Scarlet Witch who posed a real threat.

True to Strange's word, moments later the headquarters would be attacked by Earth-838's Scarlet Witch, under the influence of Scarlet Witch's dreamwalking. Mordo and Xavier decided to stay behind to keep watch over Strange while the rest of the Illuminati confronted her. Strange once again pled his innocence, to which Xavier believed him, much to Mordo's surprise. He chose to have faith that this Doctor Strange was better than their universe's counterpart and offered him parting words, as well as revealed the location of the Book of Vishanti, before going to confront Wanda himself.

#### Killed by Scarlet Witch

Once Scarlet Witch had made quick work of the other Illuminati members, Xavier confronted her personally, ordering her to stop just as she was about to capture America Chavez. He then used his telepathic powers to enter her mind, succeeding in doing so. Within Maximoff's mind, he wandered through a blank landscape, dotted with rubble attributed to her past. Xavier soon came upon the Wanda Maximoff who was having her body dreamwalked in, trapped under rubble.

Xavier informed his universe's Wanda about what had happened to her and attempted to pull her out in order to free her from Maximoff's control, however a blood red mist approached them both. Xavier realized what was about to happen, but didn't move despite his Maximoff being pulled into the darkness. The Scarlet Witch then burst from the mist and ripped off the upper half of Xavier's head. In the real world, Xavier felt his neck being snapped and slumped over, dead in his chair.

Despite his failure at stopping the Scarlet Witch, Xavier's death wasn't in vain, as his attack on Scarlet Witch stalled her enough to allow Christine Palmer to free America and escape with Doctor Strange. Ultimately, Xavier was proven right on his belief that just because someone stumbles and loses their way doesn't mean they are lost forever when Strange was able to make Scarlet Witch to realize her wrongdoings and destroy the Darkhold, saving the Multiverse and proving himself as a good Doctor Strange like Xavier asked him to show.
