Professor X Fan Club Headquarters

Uncanny X-Men #6 Jul 1964
"Sub-Mariner Joins the Evil Mutants!"
Professor Xavier reads a newspaper article about the Sub-Mariner. He wonders whether or not the Sub-Mariner is a mutant.
Meanwhile Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are at their new headquarters on an island, pondering the same thing.
Magneto tries to recruit the Sub-Mariner by projecting his astral form under the ocean.

Professor Xavier does the same thing from the mansion, but hides his astral form when he senses Magneto's astral form nearby.

Magneto finds Namor's underwater kingdom, but decides not to approach the Sub-Mariner following an outburst that he witnesses.
Instead, Magneto approaches one of the other Atlanteans and makes a deal.
In exchange for delivering a message from him, Magneto claims that the Atlantean can
become the new ruler of Atlantis, if the Sub-Mariner joins the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

Back at the mansion, Professor Xavier informs his students that Magneto is attempting to recruit Namor,
and that he knows where Magneto's new base is located. The X-Men board a ship and head out to stop Magneto.
Namor is convinced into meeting with Magneto on his secret island.
He is quickly impressed by how the island is run using Magneto's powers and a giant magnet at the center of the island.

The X-Men arrive and a battle begins amongst the two groups.
Magneto destroys the X-Men's ship,

but they use an ice-craft to make it to shore.
Cyclops realizes that the giant magnet powers everything, so he tries to destroy it, but Quicksilver attacks before he can do anything.
The X-Men subdue Quicksilver, which causes the Scarlet Witch to fear for her brother's safety.
Magneto becomes angered with the Scarlet Witch and yells at her. At this point, both Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch
again question Magneto's actions, as in X-Men #5, but continue to follow him.
Xavier mentions this may be because they are being controlled subconsciously.

The Sub-Mariner realizes what type of man he has allied himself with, so he turns against Magneto and destroys the magnet's controls.
The X-Men break into the lab, so Magneto, Toad and Mastermind run away.
The Scarlet Witch demands that Quicksilver be returned to her, but the X-Men do not comply.
A short battle breaks out that is stopped by Professor Xavier, when he brings Quicksilver, under his mental control, to the Scarlet Witch.

Namor decides that he has had enough of fighting for the day, so he starts to head back to his kingdom
when he is attacked by Magneto and his giant magnet. The Sub-Mariner overcomes the beating he is taking and destroys the magnet.
The X-Men watch as the Sub-Mariner withdraws back to his kingdom, then observe Magneto and the rest of the Brotherhood retreat in his own jet plane.

MCU Fan-Casting: Charles Xavier

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Great thread. I am glad this is up. Here's to Charles coming back and folks actually doing something with him

o

My thanks to Jonathan Hickman for bringing the character back with a, to me, TERRIFIC look!

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

How Powerful is Professor X?

[coveredinbees]

Is anyone else a little wary of Xavier and his Cerebro hat? Usually, he wouldn't let Emma Frost get away with mind control without some hypocritical posturing. More importantly, is he washing?

What are his "much bolder things?"

[coveredinbees]

Does he hide under the hat because James Asmus looked so terrible bald?

[Maestroneto]

Is Xavier forcing Jean to wear the green minidress?

[coveredinbees]

Maybe, but he's not forcing her to look ridiculous while wearing it. She is an Omega Level Can't Pull That Off.

It's rare we see Charley X in a costume. I hate this one.

[Maestroneto]

Who could pull off the green minidress?

[coveredinbees]

Charles Xavier of course!! Our beautiful bald babe looks great in anything, or at least you perceive him to.

Or Magma

Uncanny X-Men #185 Sep 1984
"Public Enemy"
Government agent Henry Gyrich is having a meeting at the Pentagon where he is reporting on the mutant known as Rogue.
After explaining her powers, her previous criminal history and recent attack on SHIELD,
he tells those gathered that he has been authorized to use the neutralizer weapon invented by Forge to stop her.
When Raven Darkholm protests this move, wondering how Gyrich got a prototype when it hasn't even been tested,
she is shocked to hear that her co-worker Valerie Cooper supports this move
and no amount of protests will stop the action from being carried out.

At the X-Mansion, Storm interrupts Professor Xavier's session with Rachel Summers to inform him that Rogue has left.

The Professor leaves Rachel alone while he and Storm go downstairs to try and track Rogue using Cerebro.
Left to her own devices, Rachel decides to look around the Professor's office.
Finding a phone book that lists her father Cyclops living in Alaska, she decides to call and speak to him.

However, when she hears his voice and the voice of Madelyne Pryor in the background,
Rachel cannot bring herself to utter a single word and eventually Cyclops hangs up.

While back in Washington, Mystique returns to her room to find that Destiny is there waiting for her.
Irene warns that Rogue is in trouble, however Mystique wonders if allowing Gyrich
to neutralize her powers could be to the benefit of Rogue having a normal life.
When she asks Irene what the future has in store for Rogue, Destiny cannot see
into the immediate future as some temporal anomaly prevents her from doing so.
As Gyrich approaches where they are tracking Rogue,
Mystique contacts Forge and tells him that the government is using his prototype without testing it.
Forge is furious and flies after them in his private jet, while placing in a call to the president.

While in Caldecott Country, Mississippi, Rogue is spending time relaxing along the banks of the Mississippi River.

She is found by Storm who confronts her with the truth about the phantom memories she's been living of Carol Danvers.
When Rogue admits that she is struggling to find a way to control her powers and fears harming them,
Storm convinces her to willingly absorb some of her power.
Rogue is reluctant at first, but since Storm is willingly offering up her powers, Rogue tries it out.
The power absorption knocks Storm out, and Rogue is completely amazed by the abilities she has gained and how Storm sees the world.

After finding that mastering Storm's powers would take some work, Rogue is attacked by Gyrich and his men.
As Rogue attempts to avoid getting blasted by the neutralizer,
her weather controlling ability spirals out of control and a massive storm is created, threatening a nearby boat.
Storm, having revived, comes to Rogue’s aid to control the weather and pull the boat to calmer waters.
Gyrich takes this as an opportunity to get a clear shot on Rogue, however Storm shoves her out of the way.
Storm is struck by the weapon, causing her powers to flare out of control,
destroying the ship and knocking Rogue far away, before being neutralized.
Storm falls unconsciously to the water below where Forge, having arrived just in time to witness the event, dives in to her rescue.
He is furious at Gyrich for using his untested prototype and the fact that he hit an innocent woman.
He points out that Storm is a member of the X-Men and Gyrich's stupidity today
may have turned the X-Men from champions of humanity to their enemies.

Watching this from a mystical pool far away are the Dire Wraiths who have analyzed Forge's weapon
and find that it is similar to that which was used by ROM the Spaceknight.
In order to guarantee their victory in taking over the Earth, the Wraiths have come to the decision that Forge must die.

Rachel really, REALLY needed more Xavier time.

[Veitha]

Poor Rach That phone sequence was great writing and great art.

Poor Rach That phone sequence was great writing and great art.

Does it ever say how old she is here? When's the last time you said 'daddy?'

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

I'm guessing the comicbook character Rachel is fifteen.
