Charles Xavier

## Biography

* **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.
