9 Outrageous Ways Famous Movie Characters Came Back From The Dead
9. Professor X Survives Being Disintegrated X-Men: Day Of Future Past
Sir Patrick Stewart, the man who single-handedly made baldness cool, recently returned as Professor Xavier in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Which is confusing for a couple of reasons. He Was Dead...: In X-Men: The Last Stand Professor X tries, and profoundly fails, to keep Jean Greys raising mutant powers under control. She winds up disintegrating him completely, leaving the rest of the X-Men without his guidance and wisdom for once. ...But He Got Better: Stewart returns to play Xavier in the post-apocalyptic future of Days Of Future Past. Quite how hes still alive the film never explains. In The Last Stand it was hinted that his psyche survived his body's destruction, and that he could take over the consciousness of a brain-dead body. But that still doesnt explain how his new body is shaped like Patrick Stewart. According to the writers of The Last Stand (though the movie itself doesnt reveal this), apparently Xavier had a comatose twin brother, and he simply transferred his mind to this handy back-up shell. As good an explanation as any, but it would have been nice if Days Of Future Past had taken a moment to explain this.
