The son of nuclear researcher Brian Xavier and his wife Sharon, Charles Xavier's superior telepathic abilities came to light after tragedy. After his father's accidental death, his mother married Dr. Kurt Marko, a former colleague of Brian's, and both he and his son moved into the family mansion. To punish his son, Kurt beat the boy. But Charles had made a telepathic connection with the son, and unable to control his burgeoning powers, felt every blow Cain received as if he were being hit himself.
A natural genius, Charles graduated high school at the age of 16. He completed college in only two years, and went on to do his graduate work at Oxford University.
Charles headed to Israel, where he befriended a man named Erick Lensherr. Together, Charles and Erik battled terrorists and came to learn of each other's mutual mutant abilities. But that was where their paths diverged: Charles believed in peaceful man and mutant coexistence and Magneto did not. The two mutants not only parted philosophies; they eventually parted ways.
On his way back to the U.S., Charles was crippled in an accident - but a brilliant mind cannot be broken by withered limbs and Charles returned to his family's mansion in New York more resolved than ever to realize his dream of peaceful coexistence between man and mutant. He began helping fellow mutants, and opened Xavier's School for the Gifted.
In time, he altered and redesigned the mansion to accomodate all the mechanisms and methods that were needed to fulfill his dream. He also recruited skilled mutants to form the X-Men, assembled to fight for all of humanity under a veil of secrecy.
Charles was recently killed by his former student Jean Grey, after her mutant powers reached their full abilities. Jean murdered her for mentor because he had put mental blocks, to keep her safe from her uncontrollable powers.
