A blog dedicated to the king of the psychics, Professor Charles Francis Xavier and his trauma package of a husband, Magneto! And their messy children! From Comics, Movies, Animations, Books, etc. HAVE FUN!
You know what I'd love to see in Avengers: Doomsday?
Even if it's just a short conversation.
A scene between Charles Xavier and Rhodey talking about their disabilities.
They're both paraplegic, but they've had very different experiences with it. Charles has lived with his disability for most of his life and has had years to adapt to it, while Rhodey became disabled later and never really had to fully adjust in the same way because Tony immediately built the leg braces for him.
I think it would be really interesting if, at some point, Rhodey's braces stopped working. Not permanently, just long enough to leave him without the technology he's relied on. And maybe, for once, he's the one who needs advice from someone who's spent decades navigating life as a wheelchair user.
I don't know. I just think there's a really compelling conversation there that Marvel will probably never give us.
Charles Xavier haters (mostly on Tiktok) annoy me SO MUCH (This isn't even me being biased, which I know I am). So many of them don't even read comics and you can tell because everything they cite as being "canon" is either a random out of context panel/page or straight up not true. None of them are doing actual analysis or commentary, they're all just repeating the same points that mostly come from really old panels or comics that aren't even considered canon. Not to mention the amount of blatant ableism with all of it (cue that one panel of Charles being pushed down the stairs that I see all over comment sections).
He's not the best character, I know that. There's so much horrible characterization and storylines and retcons that suck related to him that it's just baked into everyone's perception of the character. But that's every main X-Men character. Every comic book character really (I mean just look back at old Batman comics, they can get REALLY BAD). But Charles is one of the only characters that gets that treatment to this level.
Anyways I'm ranting.
This is such a Justified rant and I agree 100% and y’know what? I’m gonna put some examples of panel/scenes being used out of context + Are lied about.
First is this “Fight” Charles and Scott had and in the X-Men first class comic
People use this to make Charles look controlling and like he doesn’t respect Scott’s decisions and authority. This is the very next panel.
It was literally just a family-like bicker because it was a high stress situation. once Scott put his foot down charles respected it and backed down. This is the only “fight” they had in this entire run that lasted through the years 2006-2010 they found the one panel that out of context could make Charles look sorta bad and used it.
Next is “Charles faked his death for no reason” first off there was a reason, the world was under threat, as it always is. secondly, He didn’t plan to fake his death. Charles needed complete concentration to form a plan so when changeling told him he’ll spend his last months pretending to be him with his students charles agreed and let him.
He further explains this to his students who were understandably hurt
“Time to prepare an attack!” He never sent changeling to die, after all making someone literally kill themselves isn’t something he’d do. Changeling just got killed by accident as Charles and Charles couldn’t change the plan at that point. Accidentally making jean keep the secret. It’s all sad and I’m not saying he was perfect here but it wasn’t “Charles randomly decided to fake his death, kill changeling, and forced jean to keep it a secret!”
Next is a bit more broad but I want to tackle “Charles abandons his X-Men for lilandra!” First off, they are grown adults they can take care of themselves. secondly, when he does stay and try to help he’s accused of being overbearing so he can’t win that one for fans and characters themselves (Scott acts as though he’s crazy for helping when he’s back despite it being his x men. in his estate. following his dream.) and third, that is not what happens at all. The first time he left was complicated. While he was on vacation he lost his psychic rapport with his students. This caused him to stress out.
You can see lilandra thinking about the fact she needs to return to her empire soon and how she feels like she must have Charles with her. Later Charles and jean would believe every X-Men died. Because of this jean leaves and Charles falls into a deep depression refusing to eat.
“All things die, Charles.” You can tell lilandra is a bit off when it comes to sympathizing with his emotions. She loves him but her attempts at comfort come off a bit cold hearted. Charles talks to lilandra about his life and his students.
And when he’s finished she jumps in to convince him to leave earth and come with her.
“Charles, My Love, hear me, your children- your X-Men have grown and left you, or they are dead. You cannot start again. There is nothing for you here, my darling.” I’ve said it before but this is manipulation. She knows he is grieving and she knows she has limited time before she must leave. So she uses the death of his students to convince him he doesn’t have a better option. She probably believes it to be true but it’s also clear she’s using the death of his children for her benefit. She tells him they’ve died or even outgrown him that he has nothing and that he can’t make something new and the she offers her heart and soul to him. To Charles this felt like the obvious choice rather then slowly rotting in grief. After all he loves her. Note that her expression is drawn as cold. once he realized that jean needs him still even if she’s not living at his estate he comes home.
That was not lilandra slander btw I love her and I love seeing characters do bad things. It was early in the relationship so I think she was less in tune with Charles + was stressed she’d leave without the man she loves so she selfishly decided to go about it that way. Another note is that those fans that accuse charles of abandonment are extremely misogynistic. Chalking lilandra up to a booty call or “bird-pussy” it’s clear they don’t care about charles abandoning them or lilandra with the way they speak about it and her. she deserves better.💔 Other times they show panels like these to make him look bad-
-despite the fact he was dying and needed to be healed.
In 97 it was the same he needed to be healed.
He did decide to stay in 97 but he gave his reasoning. He was afraid if he came back scott and jean wouldn’t be able to truly live their lives together. I also personally believe that he wanted Erik to have the chance at redemption and he knew if he came Erik would leave he’d become the professor again thus squandering Erik’s chance at peace. He of course also wanted a bit of peace himself and there’s nothing wrong with that. He’s had a hard life. What makes me mad is that people treat him as though he’s awful or worse, at fault for Genosha. Charles couldn’t have stopped that even if he was there and blaming someone in the minority group for their own genocide is a terrible look on the fandom. There is much more like the entire belief that Charles doesn’t help them at all despite him literally almost dying helping them multiple + helping via cerebro and through his astral form. Or saying gabby was his patient when she wasn’t, he was helping a friend that called and only used his telepathy once (the relationship was still wrong because he helped her + knew her entire life but it wasn’t doctor/patient or non consensual) I haven’t even mentioned danger but I’ll end it here for now! I’m tired of the odd double standards and especially the ableism. Thanks for the ask again! It gave me a chance to clear up some lies ❣️
I know Charles has restraint and probably wouldn't do this because he believes everyone should have free
BUT it would be funny to see times he's used his telepathy for stupid and childish reasons in his high-school years.
Like erasing an embarrassing moment from everyone's mind.
Or i would like to think Charles doesn't like/is uncomfortable with praise so when a teacher starts to say something he immediately makes them forget whatever he's done that was good
Or making a bully do something funny idk
Or he could've froze everyone and pulled a prank lol
I was reading the novelization of "the X-Men 1" a while ago, which has extra scenes from the movie. In one of Charles' conversations with Logan, Charles tells him that the reason he's so careful about his telepathy is because when he was in school, a teacher gave him a low grade just because he didn't like him. Charles gets very angry about this. Well, imagine a teenage boy failing a class because his teacher was mean. It's natural to get angry.
But Charles, who at that time had no control or even much knowledge of his power, just looked at the teacher with anger and thought for a moment in his heart, "I wish he would die." And the teacher almost Immediately had a stroke, and Charles, realizing it, panics and tried to stop it. The teacher survived, but this incident had a terrible effect on Charles' psyche and his relationship with his telepathy.
I need more of this! Charles was never allowed to be a child and think stupid things because it was a possibly he could literally kill people. That’s not only traumatizing and incredibly interesting to read but explains so much about Charles beliefs and repressed personality.
+You see why he’s so uptight and even projects responsibilities far beyond a child’s understandings (like his students) because he knows he knows what can happen if somebody with amazing powers especially a telepath doesn’t watch out constantly. And I think while yes mutants all hold this sense of responsibility and possibly even guilt for being the way they are telepaths may know it more then anybody.

A really crazy headcanon I have is what if Marc Spector wasn't just the fist of Khonshu?
Thanks to the Black Panther comics, we know that the Egyptian gods, or Eenead, have the ability to have children with humans, and that the ruling family of Wakanda and the Black Panthers are all descendants of Bast, the panther goddess.
So what if... Mark Spector is also a demigod?What if he is actually the blood son of Khonshu?
Khonshu himself was strangely insistent on this.
Now I know that Khonshu considers all his avatars his children, but his relationship with Mark seems oddly closer to me. Mark has always made him extremely angry, has defied him many times, even imprisoned him once, but Khonshu still hasn't given up on Mark.
He's strangely obsessed with this one knight, which I think could indicate something more than just manipulation or taking advantege of.
Marc Spector himself is also shown to be more powerful and capable than a normal avatar of Khonshu. Even though he doesn't have the gift of chons.
This is my headcanon. I think it opens up a lot of avenues for future drama and interesting stories.
I just want to imagine Mark's reaction when he finds out. I think it would be great. 🤣🤣🤣
Watched Apocalypse again today and I can't get over the way Charles screams "Get out!" when Jean is holding him... The invasion of Apocalypse in his mind (and almost his body as well) had to be genuinely so breaking and traumatic :/
thor ragnarok is literally 18x funnier when u realize the grandmaster knows what’s going on the entire time. he is telepathic and can read minds so he legit just let shit go down just for fun bc he’s such a drama hoe
thor and loki, thousands of years old, think of themselves as gods: lmao check this out i’m going to totally fool this guy
the grandmaster, a literal immortal whose immortality is entirely dependent on not getting bored: oh my….i have been fooled…..i hope none of you overthrow my leadership on the way out…….
#apparently the Collector and Grandmaster are fuelled on their own will to live#so as long as they have a stupid purpose they’re good#the collector set himself an impossible task so he could keep busy#and the grandmaster creates drama via fidefortitude
