12 Stupidest Decisions Made By Characters In X-Men Movies
7. Professor X Takes Medicine That Basically Turns Him Into Lieutenant Dan - Days Of Future Past
When Wolverine travels back to 1973, hes greeted at the X-Mansion by a drugged-up Charles Xavier. The climate of Vietnam has transformed Xavier. Instead of the inspirational Professor X, hes now merged into a listless, British version of Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump. But with a less impressive beard. The serum which he shoots up at every opportunity isnt your typical upper or downer. Created by Hank McCoy, it allows him the freedom to walk, but its also an ability suppressant. And with his powers stunted, hes unable to do anything of value. It also seems that his telepathy is his only redeeming feature, because he also turns into a massive alcoholic and a bit of a d*ck. Combine the two and he renders himself pointless in the grand scheme of things. If he had to engage an enemy in that state, itd be a bit like going into battle with rubber bullets. Yes, he doesn't care, but if you take medicine to appear normal, and it turns you into a grumpy recluse, what the hell is the point?
