Backstory

"Charles Francis Xavier was born into a wealthy family in New York to nuclear researcher Dr. Brian Xavier and his wife, Sharon. After his father’s untimely death, Sharon remarried Kurt Marko, a man Charles never trusted. His new stepbrother, Cain Marko (who would later become Juggernaut), was abusive and cruel, fueling much of Charles’s early sense of justice and empathy for those who suffered. Charles discovered his telepathic abilities at a young age, an overwhelming experience that forced him to grapple with the thoughts and emotions of others. Despite the challenges of controlling his powers, he excelled academically, eventually attending Oxford University, where he met Erik Lensherr (Magneto). The two became close friends, bonding over their shared experiences as mutants but quickly diverged in their beliefs. While Charles advocated for peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants, Erik believed mutants should dominate humans to ensure their survival. During his travels around the world, Charles’s sense of responsibility toward mutants grew. He encountered countless mutants struggling to control their powers, rejected by society and often forced to hide who they were. These experiences solidified his determination to create a sanctuary for mutants, where they could learn to control their abilities in safety. This dream culminated in the founding of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, a school where young mutants could train and live without fear. Charles also developed Cerebro, a powerful device that enhanced his telepathic abilities, allowing him to locate mutants across the globe. He formed the X-Men, a team dedicated to protecting both humans and mutants from threats, while also advocating for mutant rights."
