Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is the former leader and founder of the X-Men.
Throughout most of his history, Xavier is paraplegic, although his body houses one of the world's most powerful mutant minds. A high-level telepath, Xavier can read, control and influence human minds. A scientific genius with a superhuman ability to absorb information, he is also a leading authority on genetics, mutation and psionic powers.
Xavier’s mission is to promote the peaceful affirmation of mutant rights, to mediate the co-existence of mutants and humans and to protect society from antagonistic mutants, including his old friend, the militant Magneto. To achieve this aim, he founded Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters (later named the Xavier Institute) to teach mutants to explore and control their powers. Its first group of students were the original X-Men. Xavier's students consider him a visionary and often refer to their mission as "Xavier's dream". However, he also has a manipulative streak which has resulted in several significant fallings-out with allies and students.
He also often acts as a public advocate for mutant rights and is the authority most of the superhero community turns to for advice on mutants. However, his status as a mutant himself and leader of the X-Men has only recently become public.
Currently in exile, Xavier is assisting with the reconstruction in Genosha
