Charles Xavier, one of the greatest minds on the planet, is also one of the
world's most powerful mutants. He possesses numerous psionic powers, including
the ability to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others.
Professor X founded the Xavier Institute as a place where mutants can live in
safety as they learn to refine their abilities.
A farsighted man, Professor X is gathering every mutant he can find (and
persuade) to attend his Xavier Institute, which he has founded as a place where
mutants can refine their powers in order to fully control them.
Professor X believes that mutants are essentially no different from other
people, and that once they learn to control their strange powers they will be
able to fit comfortably into society. This philosophy runs counter to that of
his former colleague Magnus (a.k.a. Magneto), who believes that Homo Superior
(mutants) are the next step in evolution. Professor X fears that Magnus'
extremism will lead to a mutant backlash, and is thus forced to thwart his
activities, as well as those of other mutant fanatics. Should Magnus succeed in
inspiring fear in humanity, then mutants will wind up being hunted, or worse...
Professor X uses his supercomputer Cerebro to scan the globe for mutants, whom
he then recruits for his school. Some of the mutants will be eager to join him.
Others will reject his offer, choosing to go their own way (for good or ill).
Outwardly, the Professor is kindhearted and warm, someone you can turn to when
you feel bad. However, he can be secretive and even manipulative -- usually
toward the end of protecting his students and mutantkind. He also has a hard
bottom line. When disobeyed, he can be hard as stone, and can turn from kindly
uncle to stern taskmaster in an instant. Outwardly, the Professor is kindhearted

biography
A man of a thousand voices -- and a growing number of faces -- actor David Kaye
was already a radio professional by the age of 16. Kaye's breakthrough came as a
radio personality on a station in London, Ontario and he followed that with a
move to Vancouver's (British Columbia, Canada) CKLG. Writing and improvising
material for CKLG soon gave him a taste for more challenging fare, so he
undertook acting studies with a number of well-respected coaches, along with
character work with Disney voice expert James Thomasan. In the past few years,
he's been supplying vocal personalities to cartoon characters on movies and
series that number over 60 in total. In theatre, Kaye landed key roles in
classic plays such as "Noises Off", "Of Mice and Men",
"Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?", and "A Streetcar Named
Desire" (he played STANLEY KOWALSKI). He has acquired numerous television
and movie credits as well as co-hosting the "Metro Cafe" magazine
program, and providing the Don Pardo-like voice of CanWest Global's game-show
"Love Handles". Currently, he is being recognized for his growing
skills with lead and co-starring roles in Tom Arnold's new feature
"Carpool", and "Prisoner Of Zenda Inc". (starring William
Shatner). Kaye performed the lead role in "The Love Charm", a
half-hour independent film which won the Best Short Film Award at this year's
inaugural Leo Awards and saw him nominated as Best Actor. Recently, the actor
co-starred in the CBS TV movie "Murder In My Mind" starring Nicolette
Sheridan. Whether starring in commercials or purely non-commercial fare, on
prime-time TV or in Saturday-morning cartoons, David Kaye brings a rare
commitment and remarkable versatility to everything he does

Comic Prof X |
Telepath. Teacher.
Visionary. The planet's most powerful mutant is also its most compassionate
leader.
In pursuit of his dream for peaceful coexistence between Homo sapiens and Homo
superior,
Professor Charles Xavier established his School for Gifted Youngsters to help a
select class of
troubled teenagers hone their strange abilities -- and protect society from
those who would use
such gifts to rule mankind. Today, as ever, he and his X-Men stand in defense of
a world on the
brink of genetic war!
Real name: Charles Xavier
Occupation: Geneticist, teacher, leader of the X-Men; former adventurer and
soldier
Group affiliation: X-Men
Base of operations: Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, Westchester County,
New York
First appearance: X-Men (Vol. 1) #1 (1963)
Height: 6'
Weight: 190 lbs.
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Bald (blond as a child)
Powers: The world's most powerful telepath, Charles Xavier possesses vast
psionic abilities. He can induce illusions, temporary mental or physical
paralysis, loss of specific memories, or total amnesia; project mind-numbing
mental bolts; and sense the presence of mutants within a small radius. Other
abilities include telekinesis and astral projection.
Weapons: Professor X designed and constructed the Cerebro system -- a room-sized
super-computer capable of detecting mutants over vast areas. Cerebro's range is
broader when operated in conjunction with the telepathic ability of Xavier or
another mutant.
History: Charles Xavier's crippled body serves as a constant reminder of his
troubled past -- fraught with pain, loss and the bitter sting of oppression. The
son of nuclear researcher Brian Xavier and his wife, Sharon, Charles experienced
the emergence of his telepathic powers while still a boy. Following her
husband's accidental death, Sharon married Brian's colleague, Dr. Kurt Marko.
Cain, Kurt's son by a previous marriage, came to live at the Xaviers'
Westchester mansion shortly thereafter. A cruel and spiteful boy, he bullied his
new stepbrother. As punishment, his father secretly beat him -- and the
untrained Charles felt his sibling's pain firsthand, because he could not yet
control his fledgling abilities or terminate his contact with Cain's mind. As he
grew older, Charles learned to control his burgeoning powers. A brilliant
student, he enrolled in the graduate-studies program at England's prestigious
Oxford University, where he met and fell in love with a young Scotswoman named
Moira Kinross. Of all their classmates, Charles and Moira were the only ones who
understood the ultimate implications of genetic mutation. Their passionate
discussions on the subject gave way to an equally passionate romantic
relationship, and the two planned to be married. Standing in their way was
Moira's former boyfriend, Joe MacTaggert, a lance corporal in the Royal Marines
-- and a bully and thug, just like Cain. In Joe's eyes, Charles was an effete,
good-for-nothing intellectual. To prove him wrong, to validate himself in terms
his rival would understand, Charles enlisted in the military after completing
his studies at Oxford.
His first day in combat, he thought he would go mad. Nothing could have prepared
him for the mental horrors he would experience as his fellow soldiers were
maimed and killed around him. Somehow, he found a way to cope -- becoming
something of a legend in the area of search and rescue. Attached to the same
unit as his stepbrother, Charles was present when Cain discovered the ages-old
ruby that transformed him into the mystically empowered Juggernaut. Crushed when
Moira broke off their engagement without explanation, Charles traveled abroad
after leaving the Army. While in Cairo, Egypt, he clashed with Amahl Farouk --
a.k.a. the Shadow King, a mutant capable of summoning forth the darkness in the
souls of others. This confrontation led to Charles' decision to devote his life
to protecting humanity from evil mutants bent on world domination and
safeguarding innocent mutants from human oppression.
Charles next traveled to Israel, where he fell in love with Gabrielle Haller, an
Israeli diplomat. Also, he befriended fellow drifter Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, the
mutant who would become his greatest enemy and rival: the genetic terrorist
known as Magneto, Master of Magnetism. Charles espoused his optimistic belief
that Homo sapiens and Homo superior could coexist, but Magnus foresaw mutants as
the new minority to be persecuted and hunted because of their differences.
Charles was unaware when he left Israel that Haller was pregnant with his son.
Only years later did he learn of his connection to the psionically powered
mutant known as Legion. Arriving in London, Charles renewed his friendship with
Moira, who had married Joe MacTaggert and was now a renowned geneticist. The two
began to discuss the idea of founding a school for mutants. En route to the
United States, Charles encountered an alien calling himself Lucifer, the advance
scout for an invasion by his race. Lucifer dropped a massive stone block on
Charles, crippling his legs. During his convalescence at a hospital in India,
Charles met and fell in love with Amelia Voght. The young nurse who renewed his
will to live. Professor X's first student was 11-year-old Jean Grey, traumatized
when she telepathically experienced the emotions of a dying friend. Charles
helped Jean recover and taught her to use her telekinetic powers. Following his
success with Jean, he embarked on his long-held plan to locate young mutants and
enroll them in his School for Gifted Youngsters. Professor X even converted his
ancestral mansion into a base where he could train them to use their powers for
humanity's benefit. Voght remained with Charles until the arrival of Scott
Summers -- a modern-day Cyclops, cursed with uncontrollable optic blasts. Voght
fled, fearing an escalating "genetic arms race" between Professor X
and Magneto. During the months that followed, Charles assembled the balance of
his original students: Warren Worthington III, the high-flying, heroic Angel;
Robert Drake, the irrepressible Iceman; Henry McCoy, the big-brained,
able-bodied Beast; and an older, more powerful Jean Grey, the telekinetic Marvel
Girl. He dubbed his students the "X-Men," because each possessed an
"extra" ability normal humans lacked. Years later, when the mutant
island Krakoa captured most of his original proteges, Professor X recruited a
new team of X-Men to rescue them. Encouraged by Moira, he took on another class
of students after the second wave of X-Men appeared to die in battle: the New
Mutants. Later, he assumed control of a private institution, the Massachusetts
Academy, and transformed it a new School for Gifted Youngsters. There, yet
another new crop of young mutants, Generation X, learned to use of their amazing
abilities.
As a young mutant, Charles Xavier dedicated his life to the attainment of
peaceful coexistence between Homo sapiens and Homo superior. He has seen this
dream nearly snuffed out on countless occasions, but his X-Men continue their
fight to make his vision a reality -- raging against hate, prejudice and the
oppression of mutantkind.
