Charles Xavier

Mutant: Telepath

"When an individual acquires great power, the use or misuse of that power is everything. Will it be for the greater good? Or will it be used for personal or for destructive ends? Now, this is a question we must all ask ourselves. Why? Because we are mutants. For psychics, this presents a particular problem. When is it acceptable to use our power, and when do we cross that invisible line... that turns us into tyrants over our fellow man?" ―Professor X[src] Professor X (born Charles Francis Xavier) is a mutant, the leader and founder of the X-Men and the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. He is one of the most powerful telepaths in the world (rivaled only by Jean Grey). His dream of a peaceful coexistence between mutants and humanity has long been the driving force for the X-Men. An immensely powerful telepath and scientific genius, Professor X was mainly known as the heart and soul of the X-Men, having first formed the team of mutants back in 1962. Telepathy: As one of the most powerful telepaths in the world, Xavier had a wide array of telepathic powers. An example would be when Charles scans a person's brain and finds any information he needs, including memories. He used this power to help Logan unlock his memories. Cloaking: Rather than allowing light waves to pass through him, Charles could make himself invisible by a trick of the Mind. He used this to hide himself, Magneto, and all the assault troops while en route to the dacha of the Russian general without being detected while in the back of the caravan. Mental Detection: Charles was able to sense where nearby mutants are. He demonstrated this when he sensed that Rogue had left the mansion and was at the train station. This ability is enhanced when he uses Cerebro. He was also able to find out that Jean Grey had left the X-mansion.[2] Mind Control: Charles was able to manipulate the minds of others to get them to do what he wants them to do. He does not like using this ability to make people do what he want
