The most powerful mutant telepath on Earth, Professor X traveled the world researching the effects of genetic mutation. Realizing that mutants--people born with extra power and abilities beyond those of ordinary humans--were increasing in number, he founded the School for Gifted Youngsters to train young mutants to use their powers for the good of both human and mutantkind. Through the years, Professor X has held true to his idealistic dream, working toward a future in which all people can live together in peace.
