Charles Xavier had a vision of a world where humans and mutant could live together and benefit from each other's strengths. Xavier tried to achieve this by promoting the peaceful affirmation of mutant rights, facilitating the co-existence of mutants and humans, protecting mutants from humans, protecting humans from the evil mutants such as Magneto. His school for higher learning helped him reach out to young mutants and help mold them into responsible mutants who only used their powers for the benefits of all mankind. His relationship with the member of his school and its staff is later strained by his need to manipulate them to serve his purposes.
He is often seen as an advocate for mutant rights and sought after for his thoughts on various mutant issues that exist in comics outside of the X-Men. Early on in the series, the X-Men almost never act without the permission or leadership if Xavier.
Charles is seen to have a dark side in certain stories in the comic. This is seen during the Onslaught story line. Onslaught is created when Charles allows himself to succumbs to this darker side. He lets himself go too far against his enemy, Magneto and erases his mind.
Later, Xavier shows that his manipulative and has many secrets that are kept from his team. His "Xavier Protocol" files are found by the X-Men, revealing his plans to kill any one of the X-Men, including himself, should there ever be a need to. Xavier also continues to experiment and test the Danger Room, even after he discovers that it has become sentient.Charles was a gifted child who entered college when he was 16. He earned a bachelor's degree in biology within 2 years and did post-graduate studies in Oxford, earning a degree in biophysics and genetics. At graduate school, he met a woman named Moira Kinross ( Moira MacTaggert) and the two fall in love but he is soon drafted to fight in the Korean War. During that time, he receives a letter from her explaining that she has found another man. He later discovers that it was the abusive Joseph McTaggert.
Deeply depressed when Moira broke off their engagement, Xavier began traveling around the world after leaving the army. In Cairo, he meets a young girl named Ororo Munroe (later known as Storm), who is a pickpocket, and the Shadow King, a powerful mutant who is posing as Egyptian crime lord Amahl Farouk. Xavier defeats the Shadow King, barely escaping with his life. This encounter leads to Xavier's decision to devote his life to protecting humanity from evil mutants and safeguarding innocent mutants from human oppression.In Israel, Professor X meets Erik Magnus Lehnsherr who worked at the clinic for traumatized victims from the Holocaust. A fellow mutant, he would become Xavier's best friend and eventually his greatest enemy known as Magneto. They reveal their powers when Baron Strucker and his agents kidnap Gabrielle Haller who was a woman that Xavier saved, cured, and fell in love with. Strucker believed she knew where a mass of gold was hidden. Magneto attempted to kill Strucker but Xavier stopped him. From there on, they both realized they have different attitudes towards mutant and human relations. Xavier and Gabrielle depart, neither of them knowing that she is pregnant with a child who would go on to become Legion.
Later in the Himalayas, Charles discovers that Lucifer is planing for an invasion. During battle, the alien attacks Xavier by dropping a large boulder on Xavier's legs, crushing them. Sage, another telepathic mutant, hears his cries for help and saves him, beginning a deep friendship between the two.Despite the accident Charles continued his studies, earning several degrees and eventually returns to the United States. It was here that Xavier started his School for Gifted Youngsters, a secret school for mutants which teaches them to harness and master their skills. His first students, including Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman and Angel, became the X-Men, a protective force for the school and eventually other world affairs (key amongst them is battling against Xavier's old friend Magneto, who believes the only way mutants will survive is by destroying the humans). Xavier would communicate with his students via his telepathic powers and provide them with advice or instructions when needed. He also used a device called Cerebro which amplifies his powers and seeks out mutants in need or ones with the potential to become his students.
The X-Men are kidnapped by Krakoa, and Xavier assembles a new team. They are successful in their mission, though the original X-Men feel unwelcome. All of them leave the school, except for Cyclops. Xavier then falls in love with Princess Lilandra and works for her for a while. When Xavier returns, Jean Grey becomes the Dark Phoenix and destroys a populated planet. Xavier battles with her mentally, though he would have lost if it wasn't for Grey helping him fight by keeping her own personality alive. She later commits suicide to prevent any more harm being don
