10 Pivotal X-Men Moments The Movies Ignored
8. Charles Xavier's Bad Side
Professor Charles Xavier has an ideology that is ultimately good: coexistence between man and mutant. It is a broad idea that led him to creating a school to house and train mutants to control their powers... and also be a defensive force against mutants who hate humans, humans who hate mutants, aliens, giant monsters, and basically anything that needs to get punched.
This has led to many different moments where Xavier gets the much needed talking down that he has needed for decades. The most famous now would be when Cyclops had another emotional breakdown about how he was a child soldier, and unlike everyone else of the team, the entire weight of mutantkind was placed on his shoulder.
He made Cyclops not into a philosophical or political leader who could take the reigns, but instead a military leader who knew how to defeat the enemy and make the tough decisions.
Kitty Pryde put it best: Charles Xavier is a jerk!
