Being one of the original members of Professor X's dream team, he has had to shoulder the responsibility as their leader during some of the most traumatic events in their history. Through the likes of Onslaught, Age of Apocalypse, and Civil War, the one-eyed wonder has been the cornerstone of the squad, holding them together and, inevitably, leading them to victory most of the time.
