―Charles Xavier to Doctor Strange
Professor Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, was a mutant with telepathic powers and member of the Illuminati. Professor X aided the other members of the Illuminati in killing Thanos on Titan. A few years later, Professor X attended a meeting of the Illuminati when Doctor Strange was bought before them having been detained after traveling the Multiverse. When Scarlet Witch attacked the Illuminati Headquarters, he gave Strange some parting advice before confronting Scarlet Witch. Professor X attempted to defeat her telepathically, but Scarlet Witch tore his head off, killing him in the real world.
Illuminati Member Legacy
Despite his failure at stopping the Scarlet Witch, Xavier's death was not in vain, as his attack on Scarlet Witch stalled her enough to allow Christine Palmer to free America and escape with Doctor Strange. Ultimately, Xavier was proven right on his belief that just because someone stumbles and loses their way doesn't mean they are lost forever when Strange was able to make Scarlet Witch realize her wrongdoings and destroy the Darkhold, saving the Multiverse and proving himself as a good Doctor Strange like Xavier asked him to show.
―Charles Xavier
Unlike his Illuminati teammates who often come off as stoic and calculated, Xavier has shown a great capacity for empathy and care for his friends and teammates, looking visibly upset and bidding a touching farewell to his teammate Stephen Strange before he was executed by Black Bolt.
Xavier has also shown to be a highly moral individual, insisting that the Illuminati should tell an alternate Doctor Strange the truth about what really happened to their teammate. Unlike the rest of his team who did not trust this Strange, Xavier has openly put his trust into the alternate Stephen Strange to protect America Chavez, believing that he could be different than his other variants and that nobody is truly lost forever.
During their telepathic duel, Xavier has committed an astonishing act of bravery during his attempt to rescue the mind of Wanda Maximoff, whose body had been possessed by an alternate version of herself, even at the price of his own life. Unlike his other teammates who decided to go directly against Wanda Maximoff without further thought that this act would be dangerous to the 838 Scarlet Witch, Xavier had a kind personality and chose to try and restore the conscious of his native Maximoff.
Powers
―Professor X to Wanda Maximoff •Mutant Physiology: Professor X was a powerful mutant possessing incredible telepathic powers. However, Xavier's abilities were no match for Scarlet Witch. •Telepathy: Xavier could read the minds of others as well as speak to them telepathically. He could also show people his memories, as he showed Doctor Strange his memory of his Doctor Strange being killed. •Mental Manipulation: Xavier was able to enter Scarlet Witch’s mind in an attempt to defeat her by rescuing the consciousness of his universe's Scarlet Witch from the enthrallment of her Dreamwalking counterpart. •Subconscious Walking: Xavier was able to enter the subconscious of others. This was demonstrated when Xavier entered the Scarlet Witch's subconscious in an attempt to break the Dreamwalking spell. Even though Professor X has such powers to delve into others' minds, he ultimately failed to stop the Scarlet Witch as her mental powers, with the augmentation of the Darkhold, far exceeded his and eventually Xavier's head was ripped off in the subconscious world.
Abilities
―Captain Carter to Doctor Strange •Genius-Level Intellect: Xavier was chosen to be a member of the Illuminati for his formidable intellect, as the council was brought together to make difficult decisions that no one else could. Given that he was in the same position of power as Mister Fantastic, who was proclaimed to be "the smartest man alive," this speaks to Xavier's intelligence. In addition to his mind for strategy, Xavier was very wise in not judging Doctor Strange of Earth-616 for the actions of his variants. •Master Tactician: Xavier was a formidable strategist, being able to come up with a plan to defeat Thanos on Titan before he could execute his plan of universal genocide.
•Hoverchair: Due to his lower body paralysis, Xavier used a hoverchair to travel around.
•Illuminati Headquarters: Xavier often met with his fellow Illuminati members at their headquarters in New York City. At one point, Doctor Strange was brought to the Headquarters, where he would be met with hostility due to the Illuminati's original Doctor Strange turning against them in the past. Xavier, however, showed faith in Strange and ponder...

•In the comics, Professor X is the headmaster of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and the founder of the X-Men, a superhero team composed of mutants, with the school being the place where he trains mutants so they can control their powers.
•"Just because someone stumbles and loses their way doesn’t mean they are lost forever" is a quote that Professor X first uttered in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
•Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness marks the third time the character has been depicted dying in live-action, the previous two being X-Men: The Last Stand and Logan respectively.
•An orchestrated rendition of X-Men: The Animated Series' theme song by Ron Wasserman plays when Professor X is introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Likewise, Professor X's portrayal seemed heavily inspired by the 90's cartoon series, having Professor X wear a similar outfit, move about in a similar yellow hoverchair, and portraying his telepathy as sonar waves.
•Professor X in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the third live-action incarnation of the character, following an incarnation also portrayed by Patrick Stewart with James McAvoy as a younger Professor X in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series and another incarnation portrayed by Harry Lloyd in the Legion TV series. Additionally, both X-Men and Legion include alternate timeline versions of their respective incarnations of Charles Xavier usually via the plot element of time travel.
•Patrick Stewart had previously stated in 2020 that while he had been having conversations in 2019 with Kevin Feige about reprising his role as Professor X, he had no in interest in returning to the role after Logan. Stewart would later state in 2023 that Marvel Studios had approached him to potentially make an appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine if needed by them.

In X-Men: First Class, Cerebro is built by the CIA, and in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Hank tells Logan that he and Charles built the school, the labs, and all the other facilities (Cerebro is implied to be included in this) after Erik had abandoned Charles in X-Men: First Class.
