Living… in his family’s mansion, which he has converted to a mutant school, The Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. He teaches young mutants to hone their powers. Xavier believes in humankind’s capacity for kindness and compassion, believing that mutants can eventually coexist peacefully with them. Unfortunately, there is currently a political war raging over mutant rights. Professor Xavier battles bigoted humans and other mutants that believe a mutant-human war is inevitable – most notably Magneto, who will stop at nothing to dominate the world.
Profession… leader of the X-Men, a team of handpicked mutants who fight for both mutant rights.
Interests… science, academics, mutant rights. Professor X tries to instill a strong moral compass to his mutant students. As he states, “When an individual acquires great power, the use or misuse of that power is everything.”
Relationship Status… single. He spends most of his time looking after students and fighting the battle for mutant rights.
Challenge… stop renegade mutants who seek human extinction. If he can stop Magneto, he might be able to convince humans that mutants and humans can coexist in harmony. Through a series of unfortunate events, Magneto came to embody the vengeance and evil that Professor Xavier has dedicated to eradicate from mutant kind.
Personality… intelligent, compassionate, introspective and contemplative, if only because he can hear so many people’s thoughts at once. He has devoted his life to the betterment of mutants everywhere, and for that he is one of the most beloved mutant leaders.

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time.

They live among us, each possessing special superhuman abilities—sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse. Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence, they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, and often hatred. Across the planet, the debate rages: Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity, fighting for their share of the world? Either way, one fact remains: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining trait.There are two sects of mutants: One aims to coexist peacefully with a world that despises them; the other group strikes at intolerance with a relentless, often murderous force. But now there is a new insidious enemy, and no one will be safe.

The world has acquired a lethal new weapon against X-gene mutants, whose superhuman powers separate them—for better, for worse, forever—from ordinary mortals. Now, for the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their godlike abilities, though their powers may isolate and alienate them, or surrender them and become human. The mutant antibody is called a cure, but its invention may trigger a struggle that destroys every living soul on Earth. As Magneto declares all-out war against humanity and its dreaded cure, the U.S. president mobilizes the military. But it is Charles Xavier and the X-Men who truly must brace for the ultimate battle, for they alone are powerful enough to determine the outcome. Lessons of the past are useless in the coming life-and-death conflict, as new players—mutants possessing unprecedented, unearthly skills— take center stage. With so many joining forces with Magneto's evil Brotherhood, the X-Men will face their ultimate test against an enemy whose forces far outnumber their own. Now, as the world trembles, the Phoenix slowly rises. . .

Battling against prejudice and agents of intolerance, the X-MEN must establish a peaceful coexistence between mutant and mankind or they will surely perish . . .

This is a game that revels in gore, with decapitations, eviscerations, and mutilations drenching the screen in blood.
