Marvel Comics/Professor X

**Professor X** (Charles Francis Xavier) is a mutant and a specialist in mutant biology and sociology as well as the founder of the X-Men. With immense support from Dr. Moira MacTaggert, his life has become dedicated to fulfilling his dream of mutants and humans coexisting peacefully.

## Powers and Abilities

Professor X is an Alpha-level mutant who is said to have the most powerful brain in existence and to be the world's greatest telepath.

**Telepathy:** Professor X is able to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 250 miles while on Earth. With extreme effort, he can greatly extend that radius. When synched with Cerebro or Cerebra, he can connect to every mind on a planet. After he was thrown into the M'kraan Crystal, it not only restored his mutation and making his telepathy more powerful than it previously had been.

* **Illusion Casting:** He has the ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring. With his illusions, he can mask his presence from those around him as well as the presence of others. He can also telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different, including changing his clothing.
* **Telepathic Cloaking:** He can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can, at times, go undetected or be counteracte by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psionic abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
* **Psychic Link:** Professor X has the ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
* **Mind Control:** He possesses the power to control the minds of others upon mere concentration. This power can allow him to completely shut down several peoples' minds, making it appear as if time as stopped.
* **Psychic Possession:** Professor X can possess the mind of another and use that being's body as his own.
* **Personality Manipulation:** He has the ability to alter the minds and personalities of others by force of will.
* **Memory Erasure:** Professor X can cause loss of particular memories or total amnesia in another person or group of people, including his own.
* **Psychic Constructs:** His mental talents are such that he can give his psionic power enough physical substance to affect the material world through his telepathy. He used this function of his abilities to knock out a Sentinel and push it a great distance away from himself with the power of his thoughts made real alone.
* **Psychic Shields:** He has the ability to erect a psychic barrier for protection of himself and of other minds to prevent the free access to his conscious and subconscious mind.
* **Psychic Blasts:** Professor X can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause pain, unconsciousness, or even death.
* **Psychic Detection:** He can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small, but as yet undefined, radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
* **Mind Transferal:** Professor X can transfer both his mind and powers into host bodies if his own physical body were to be somehow killed.
* **Enhanced Thought Processing:** Professor X has the ability to quickly process and store information through mental transference.
* **Astral Projection:** Professor X can use astral travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. He cannot engage in long-range astral projection while on the earthly plane.
	+ **Astral Manipulation:** In the astral realm, he can use his powers to create objects made of astral energy.
* **Telepathic Translation:** As a result of his telepathic abilities, he is able to communicate with any individuals regardless of language barriers.
* **Information Transferal:** He is able to telepathically teach information to other individuals. For example, when Magik first came to live at the X-Mansion, he telepathically taught all of the active X-Men Russian so that they could communicate with her. He later taught the team Japanese prior to their leaving for Tokyo. Additionally, he was able to impart months of training into the minds of four young mutants over the span of a few hours to ensure they were better able to use their powers and work together as a team.

**Telekinesis:** Professor X has shown low-level psychokinetic abilities that are potent enough for him to disrupt high-end technological equipment with enough effort on his part. Though seemingly no longer existent, these powers are apparently part of his genome as his sister has the same ability, and she is essentially a clone of ProfessorX. While inhabiting a younger body and empowered by a Cerebro-like helmet, Professor X has demonstrated these abilities again to beckon a flash drive from Mystique into his hand with a gesture. He has seemingly awakened his full genetic potential, as he used a telekinetic ability to trap Nimrod in place and break him down to separate out the individual components.
