10 Times Professor X Outsmarted Everyone

Back when Xavier was younger and slightly more lawless, we were provided with a glorious storyline that saw the young psychic using his powers in order to cheat at school.

Showing just how immoral Professor X could have been his whole life, Charles would get top grades (by reading his teacher's mind), be a pro athlete (by telepathically learning the other team's tactics) and an all-around great guy (by totally misusing his powers). It's an especially interesting tactic, as this method of outsmarting people is one that Xavier now largely avoids due to his moral concerns about invading other people's minds.

For his youth, however, the man had no such qualms, and happily read minds left, right and center in order to outdo those around him. While it should feel questionable, seeing Xavier endlessly succeed while being displeased about it is legitimately hilarious, in a way that only a young bald man scowling at his huge trophy collection can be.
