10 Worst Parents In Marvel History

10. Professor X

It’s weird to consider Professor X a bad parent, given he tends to do a generally decent job at parenting every other superhero within a five-mile radius.

However, in the case of his own kid – Legion – he’s basically the opposite, largely because he wasn't aware he even had a child until a mission left him reading Legion's mind, and realising the somewhat awkward truth.

As it is, the two have a relationship that is generally frosty at best, with Xavier caught between caring for his son and recognising the threat he poses, and Legion being against the whole 'training kids to fight and possibly die' thing his dad has going on.

While Xavier clearly wants to help his son, he's only ever tried to get him help once, which doesn't balance out all the times he's made his son's condition even worse by having him use his powers.
