History: Charles Xavier was the son of wealthy nuclear researcher Brian Xavier and his wife Sharon. After Brian Xavier's death in an accident, Sharon married his colleague Dr. Kurt Marko, whose son by a previous marriage, Cain, bullied the young Charles. Kurt favored the gentle, smart Charles to his own son.
Charles' telepathic powers began emerging when he was still a boy, and as he grew older he learned to control them. With his powers he had discovered that Kurt cared only about his mother's money. Kurt quickly grew neglectful of Sharon, driving her to alcoholism, and abused both Sharon and Cain. Charles once used his telepathic powers to read Cain's mind and explore the extent of his psychological damage, which only led to Cain becoming more aggressive toward him and Charles feeling Cain's pain firsthand. Sharon died soon after, and a fight erupted between Cain and Charles that caused some of Kurt's lab equipment to explode. Mortally wounded, Kurt dragged the two children out before dying.
Years after, Xavier attended England's Oxford University, where he met and fell in love with a young Scotswoman named Moira Kinross. The two then planned on marriage, but those plans halted when Xavier was drafted to the Korean War. There Xavier and his stepbrother Cain served in the same unit. Xavier witnessed how Marko found the mystical ruby in the temple of Cyttorak that transformed him into the superhuman Juggernaut.
War, not only left him in depression, but also the fact that Moira broke up with him for her ex-boyfriend. So, in a bit of soul searching, Xavier when to Cairo, Egypt
Coming to Israel, he met none other than Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, who helped him treat traumatized Holocaust victims. Magnus and he held lengthy debates hypothesizing what would happen if humanity was faced with a new super-powered race of humans. While Xavier was optimistic, Magnus' experiences in the Holocaust led him to believe that humanity would ultimately oppress the new race of humans as they had done with other minorities. The two friends revealed their powers to each other when they fought Nazi Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and his HYDRA agents. Magnus would've killed him if not for Xavier stopping him. With that, the two split.
However, before that happened, he and Xavier built a machine known as Cerebro, as they plan on finding mutants; of course they had different reasons.
But once again, Xavier met up with Magnus, now known as Magneto, and the HYDRA agents when they tried to capture Scott Summers. Baron dropped huge ton of debris on Xavier's legs, crippling him for good. However, Scott used his powers to destroy to debris, and helped Xavier away, while Magneto dealt with the HYDRA, this time killing the leader.
In a hospital in New York, Amelia Voght, a young American nurse, made cheering him up her pet project and helped him recover wherein the two fell in love. But she then left him as Scott Summers moved into the X-Mansion, believing the best solution to the "mutant problem" being for mutants to lay low. Charles tried to force her to stay with his mental powers, but immediately ashamed by this, let her go.
But despite that, Xavier continued his work to create a school for mutants to hide and learn to control their powers, while creating his personal task force, the X-Men, to protect mutants around the world.
Because no one else can!
