## Professor X

### Childhood: 1950 - 1963

Charles was born into wealth and privilege. His father was a doctor and his mother was a wealthy heiress with a passion for philanthropy. Charles had an older half-brother, Cain Marko, a child born from Sharon's previous marriage. Charles was a happy child in his early years until the death of his at the age of eight.

Although Charles' mother didn't remarry, she did become intimate with her first husband, Kurt Marko, once again. The rekindled romance would lead to Kurt and Cain Marko moving into the Graymalkin Estate. After the Markos moved in, Kurt Marko tried to win over the gentle, intelligent Charles, showering with gifts and praise, often to the neglect of his own son. Cain responded to this by misbehaving and eventually bullying Charles. This became an intense rivalry that only intesified when Charles' powers developed.

### Coming of Age: 1963 - 1968

Charles became aware of his telepathic powers shortly after his thirteenth birthday. He learned to control his abilities, often using his powers to humiliate his older brother and avoid the resulting beatings. This went on for just three more years, when the decidedly violent Cain decided to volunteer for the Army and shipped out to Vietnam. Almost a year later, Cain was reported as AWOL, distressing his parents.

Although Charles had a scholarship and could use his college admission to avoid the draft, he chose to follow his brother into military service two years later. He was intent on serving his country and hoped he could provide his mother with some reassuring news about Cain.

### Military Services: 1968 - 1970

The ravages of war proved to be taxing on the young telepath. So much death and hatred proved to be a toxic environment. Charles served with honor and earned some medals but came home with a sense of failure. He sensed Cain's presence at one point in Vietnam but never found him. Both Sharon and Kurt died shortly after Charles' return from war.

### Education: 1970 - 1992

At Empire State University, Charles studied genetics and education. He made use of his inheritance, taking frequent world trips during summers and holidays. Later, Charles became a professor of Genetics at the school and played a large role in securing the grant for the college to partake in the Human Genome Project as he hoped to find more like him.

In the 1980s, Charles met two people who would become significant influenced on his life: Erik Lehnsherr and Moira MacTaggert Erik and Charles quickly became friends, bonding over the lofty ambitions for the mutant race. Charles' relationship with Moira began as a mentorship and eventually evolved into love, leading to their eventual marriage.

When Charles and Erik realized that another entity was using the HGP to locate mutants, they stole documents on mutated genes. After further stalling the discovery of mutants, Charles resigned.

### Xavier's Dream: 1992 - 1995

At his family estate, Charles and Moira decided to establish a haven and school for mutants. Erik was eventually convinced to bring his children to the estate. Soon after, they were able to locate many mutant teens and enroll them in a private boarding school for 'Gifted Youngsters'.

Soon after the first classes began, Charles, Erik, and Moira, and student Hank McCoy began working on a machine to enhance Charles' telepathy in order to track down mutants across the globe.

## Analysis

* **Mutant Level:** Charles is an Alpha-Level Mutant with Alpha-Class projected potential.
* **Mutation - Telepath:** Charles is quite possibly the world's greatest telepath. He is able to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 120 miles (193 km), though much closer proximity allows for a far greater level of precision.
	+ ***Astral Projection:*** Charles can use astral travel and communicate with others astrally. In the astral realm, he could use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. However, Charles rarely does so, citing a bad past experience on the astral plane with another mutant.
	+ ***Illusions:*** Charles has the ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring. Charles can also telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different.
	+ ***Mask:*** Charles can mask his presence from being detected by others. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
	+ ***Memory Alteration:*** Charles has the ability to alter the memories and perceptions of others (whether an individual or group). This includes causing loss of particular memories or total amnesia.
	+ ***Mental Detection:*** Charles can sense the presence of another within a radius of himself. He can also filter the sensation to detect mutants.
	+ ***Mental Link:*** Charles has the ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a telepathic anchor, allowing Charles to find their mind easier over great distances.
	+ ***Mind Blast:*** Charles can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness. It is quite possible these could be fatal.
	+ ***Mind Control:*** Charles possesses the power to control the minds of others with concentration. Though Charles rarely forces his will directly on others, he does make use of this power often to allow him to stall the minds of others around him, making it appear as if time has stopped.
	+ ***Possession:*** With continued concentration, Charles can possess the mind of another and use that being's body as his own.
* **Expertise — Professor:** A natural genius, Charles is a recognized leading authority on genetics. He has written several books on the subject and often is called upon by others for consulting. He is also an expert in other life sciences, particularly mutation and psionics. He is highly talented in devising equipment for utilizing and enhancing psionic powers. Charles is also a masterful tactician, strategist, and an all-around excellent educator.
* **Background — Wealth:** Charles has been able to travel, learn other languages, afford an incredible education, and build a school to help others of his kind.
* **Secrets:** Though he is quite wealthy, Charles obviously does not have the resources to afford some of the state-of-the-art equipment incorporated into his mansion, particularly in the proposed sub-basement expansion. Most of his students and fellow faculty recognize this but Charles refuses to discuss such matters, even with me.
* **Faculty Duties:** In addition to working as Headmaster of the school, Charles also teaches courses in Literature, Ethics, Psionic Principles, and Arithmetic.
