Prof. X is a manipulative jackass sometimes but overall he is a decent guy who tries to do good. If he was not decent at his core he wouldn't have formed the X-Men and fought Magneto for so long.
lets side step the fact that he killed his twin sister before he was even born OR the fact that he tricked the world into thinking he was a genius by using the entire human race as a library and picked whatever he wanted to fake that he knew out of someone's brain in an instant.....
Even though he knew, had personally met and recruited a network of spies and adults.....
he instead personally got a group of 15 year olds,
trained them and sent them out to fight a bunch of grown ass killers.....
then named them after himself.
Sounds like his pride wouldn't let him be outdid.
Even though he had Moira McTaggart and Amelia Voight on his paralyzed nuts, Lusts after 14 year old Jean Grey, prolly aint try nothing cause he knew he couldn't get it up and said fukk it.
Tricks these kids into thinking he had lost his powers and pushed them away on some "
you're better off without me" shyt... just to see what they would do, but it was really to gauge their gullibility so
He could convince a villain that he "conveniently" knew to impersonate him while never using telepathy (Charles "conveniently" knows lots of villains) or telekinesis.... poor dude dies two issues later.
Charles' reaction:
But EVEN THIS was just Charles dikking around while he "prepared for an alien invasion". I mean... this is still Marvel Comics. Do you
really think Charles was humanity's last hope against some invading aliens, but needed to train in seclusion?
Think about that. Dude was prolly off on vacation somewhere away from those bratty ass kids and his anguish over his forbidden love for 14 year old readheads.
Did I mention that Jean Grey was the only person he told he wasn't dead..... just because he couldn't bear the thought of hurting his Lolita's feelings?
Have I mentioned I'm only up to issue 42 right now?
Charles Xavier is NOT a decent human being.
He's a haughty scumbag who's power makes him feel smug and superior to everyone else and is driven by the need to feel superior (everyone else is wrong)... but tries to convince himself he's a good person by training other folks to do good things in his name.
Literally.
