Biography

Origin

Charles Francis Xavier

Within his mothers womb, he actually had a twin sister named Cassandra Nova where he tried to kill her. (New X-Men v1 #121) After his birth, he had no memory of her and was unaware of her existence as she actually survived the encounter and used cells from her brother to fashion herself a body. (New X-Men v1 #122)

Around 20 years ago, he broke up with Moira MacTaggert which was when he received a call from his friend Daniel Shomron and went to meet him in the Israeli seaport city of Haifa. Once there, Shomron showed that he fielded a hospital for survivors of the Holocaust that was staffed professional and volunteers, one of whom was a man named Magnus. Xavier was called by Daniel to help a young Jewish woman by the name of Gabrielle Haller who was left in a catatonic state by the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis. Using his powers, Charles was able to break the barrier she had formed in her mind and allowing her to be conscious. Xavier stayed in Israel during this time where he helped in Gabrielle's recovery with the two spending time with Magnus as well. He came to learn that Magnus was a fellow Mutant with the power of magnetism who believed that Homo Superior needed to be more aggressive to secure its future with Charles disagreeing with this stance though the two formed a friendship despite their opposing views. Whilst with Gabrielle, Charles came to fall in love with her with the two entering into a romantic relationship during her recovery. At this point, the site was attacked by agents of Hydra with Gabrielle captured by Baron Strucker who intended to take a hidden gold reserve made by the Nazi's to build a Fourth Reich. Both Xavier and Magnus attacked the Hydra forces where they freed Gabrielle whilst taking away the gold leaving Strucker trapped in a cave-in. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #161)

After the battle with Lucifer, he was airlifted to India where the doctors diagnosed that he would never be able to walk again. Charles during this time fell into a depression as he wanted to stop existing due to his new condition. It was during this time he met Amelia Voght who was an American nurse in the hospital. She looked after him during his physiotherapy with the two becoming close as she came to care for him with the two eventually having a romantic relationship. He began to stay with her in a two-bedroom apartment located in Bombay where over the course of three months they remained a couple. Xavier began also looking into developing a machine that could be used to identify Mutants. Amelia found out the plans for Cerebro and was angry as she was secretly a Mutant with her believing that Xavier was using her as a test subject to find more Homo Superior. Feeling betrayed, she lashed out at him which was when he used his telepathy thus revealing that he himself as a Mutant. The pair stayed as a couple when they returned to the states when Xavier went back to his late fathers estate in order to continue his life work. Charles began to attend classes at Columbia and by night he returned to Amelia where together they compiled a list along with profiles of Mutants that would accept an offer to being trained in the use of their powers. Despite her assistance, she did not approve of his work with Jean Grey outside his role as child therapist. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #309)

When Scott Summers stayed in his home, Charles found that Amelia had packed her things with her ready to leave. This was because she opposed the concept of the X-Men as she felt that this would see someone else similarly form their own team of Mutants thus creating a genetic arms race. Though she found Charles goals noble, she believed that they were misguided and only drew attention to Mutants thus increasing their persecution. Amelia had intended to convince Xavier that his endeavour was foolhardy but when she could not she decided to leave thus ending their relationship. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #309)
