I wasn't an avid reader of the comics, but am a huge fan of the '90's cartoon series and even the '00's cartoon. I am familiar with a lot of the lore. The movies were a let down though. X2, First Class, and Days of Future Past were good. The rest, not so much.
That said, they centered much of the reboots around Professor X without telling much of his story or going into why he started the X Men in the first place. It would be dope if they did a reboot and made it an origin story of Professor X. It could even be titled X: The Genesis. The plot would revolve around Professor X's birth and childhood for the first act of the film. This could include Cassandra Nova, the psychic entity he encounters in the womb and defeats. Professor X is born and although he looks normal, he feels different from everyone else. His powers don't manifest until after his father dies and his mother marries his father's science partner. He becomes haunted by a psychic presence as his powers develop. Of course, the movie will not detail the abuse he suffers at the hands of his stepfather, but it definitely should show the dynamic between Professor X and his step brother Cain Marko (Juggernaut). The bullying he suffers from Cain, Cain discovering Professor X's powers should be detailed. Also his mother's alcoholism should be shown. This portion also covers the death of his mother. In addition to the death of his stepfather dying in the explosion after saving Cain and Professor X. All of these events and how he deals with them should all culminate in him becoming Professor X.
The next move shows him excelling and becoming an adult after all of the tragedies. This next part is non-canon, but what's a movie without some non-canon. Since adolescence, Professor X feels he's been shadowed with this psychic entity calling out to him from the astral plane. The entity leads him to Cairo, Egypt where he not only encounters a young Storm, who robs him, but he meets the entity controlling her, Shadow King in the form of a human named Farouk. He learns that Farouk is a mutant as he is and the two form a bond until he disagrees with Farouk's philosophies concerning mutants. The two battle on the astral plane where he also discovers Cassandra Nova. Cassandra is revealed to be the presence that has been haunting him since childhood. He feels the connection to her and discovers her to be the psyche of his still born twin sister. Professor X is in for the fight of his life as he battles both entities on the astral plane. He beats both, but is severely injured.
The last portion of this film finds Professor X recovering in a hospital. He meets Legion's mother here when helps her recover from catatonia. They fall in love. It is also here where Professor X encounters Eric Lenshurr (Magento). They become friends and debate the mutant issue. Gabrielle is kidnapped (again, this next portion is non-canon) by Cassandra Nova, who has now acquired a physical body. She now has an alien race at her disposal. Cassandra is yet again defeated, but during the onslaught Magneto and Professor X reveal their powers to each other. While Cassandra and her aliens are defeated, but not before she permanently paralyzes Professor X. Magneto attempts to kill her (knowing this will cause a rift between Magneto and Professor X and make them long enemies), Cassandra allows Magneto to nearly succeed before Professor X stops him. Magneto leaves.
Professor X recovers under the care of Amelia. Given everything he's struggled with even before being born, he vows to bring harmony among mutants and humans. To Amelia's chagrin, he starts the X Men. As the film concludes, Professor X is recruiting his first team of X Men and Mageto is forming The Brotherhood.
