Biography of Charles Xavier
Charles is a U.S. citizen born in a very wealthy family. After the death of his parents, who died when he was still a child, the father of his half-brother became the guardian of the future professor X. In his new family, he was an outcast, his stepfather and half-brother hated and despised Charles for his superpowers. From early childhood, Xavier tries to explain and understand his origin, where his gift came from and why this world needs it.
Filmography
In films, as in comics, he is forced to move in a wheelchair. The idea of the franchise was to show Charles Xavier as the most powerful mutant. The third film, People X: The Last Battle, shows how Gina Gray kills Charles. But in the after the demonstration of the credits it was shown that the hero managed to transfer his mind to a twin brother, especially since the brain of the latter did not function from birth. Here is the answer to the question: "How did Professor Xavier survive?" In the next episode, Charles appears only at the very end of the timing, in this part it is shown that he can do without a wheelchair.
The first time in first class
In the next episode, entitled "People X: First Grade," Charles is introduced as a young teacher who has gathered his first mutant students. In this part, the creators explain to the viewer why Professor Xavier is alive and reveal the secret, which is why he is confined to a wheelchair - at the very end of the film, a bullet fired from a pistol crushed his spine and becomes disabled. But because of this ending, a lot of controversy arose, because in the previous parts of the franchise it was possible to see how Xavier moves with the help of his legs, and the events of these films occur after those that are shown in “First Class”. As it becomes clear, the creators intentionally invest in the center of the prequel the story of a rather complicated relationship between Professor X and Magneto. The director at the stage of casting made the only right decision. The idea of Jewish revenge and shocking two heroes managed to brighten up the absence of the protagonist of previous episodes of Hugh Jackman. In this picture, Xavier turns into a real playboy and a spoiled child of fate, his colorful personality sometimes overshadows the rest of the team of mutants and even the intrigue with the attempt to unleash a world war. However, the plan of the main antagonist Sebastian Shaw, who seriously intended to destroy human civilization, remains the main plot-forming line.
In old age and youth
In the film "Wolverine: Immortal" Charles Xavier does not take part, but appears after the credits of the tape and tells Wolverine that he must save all the mutants from death. In the blockbuster People X: Days of Future Past, Professor Xavier (actor Patrick Stewart) is introduced to the audience in old age and youth. Based on the events of this film, old Charles sends Wolverine to the past, so that he would not allow the authorities to develop guards that will destroy all mutants. In this part, a young supermutant can walk because of the medicine that he injects himself, but during the action of the drug the hero loses his extraordinary abilities. In the movie People X: Apocalypse, Xavier, Professor X, will be young, and his task will be to assemble a strong team that can stop the first mutant Apocalypse. A monster is a powerful creature with unlimited powers. The battle with him will not be easy. In Wolverine 3 from the X-Men series, Professor Xavier will be represented in his advanced years. He will help destroy the sworn enemy of Logan.
Alternative version of "People X"
In an alternative version, Professor Xavier fights with his former friend and current enemy Magneto. In Ultimatum, Magneto stabs Charles with a spear, and after that the hero remains paralyzed. After these events, he finds himself in the future, where his spine is completely healed. The events of the Ultimatum are closely intertwined with the Agents of the Shield universe. In Ultimatum, Xavier will come to grips with the Apocalypse, but he will lose this battle. As a result, Charles dies at the hands of an old friend Magneto, who will break his neck. The character will be buried with all the deceased mutants.
