So many people dismiss him, but I feel he is an important part of the overall X-Men team and mythos.<br /><br />I agree with you that Marvel has seemed to purposely try and darken Xavier.<br /><br />Scott Lobdell said that Prof X had a crush on Marvel Girl when she was a child. :/<br /><br />Grant Morrison said that Prof X killed his evil twin sister in the womb before they were even born.<br /><br />Grant Morrison also wrote the whole mess where Prof X announced on television that he was a mutant - in effect making everyone around him a target and also himself to be a liar for years to the world. Technically I think that it was said that Cassandra Nova was the one that actually did the announcing, but I have hoped for years that Prof X would mind wipe the world so they didn't remember this.<br /><br />Joss Whedon wrote the story that said that Xavier knowingly left a sentience life form trapped inside the technology of the danger room.<br /><br />Ed Brubaker wrote Deadly Genesis, establishing that Xavier mind wiped the original X-Men about the existence of Moria's team, convinced Moria's team they were seasoned X-Men, and he lied about the true nature of Krakoa.<br /><br />Whew! Poor Professor X has had a hard time of it for the last several years.<br /><br />I choose to think of him as he is portrayed in this fantastic image - a guiding father figure who not only wants what's best for his students and mutantkind, but the entire world as well.Dazzler Fanhttp://www.gijoereview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587780658254126152.post-59997992781659130032011-09-26T14:50:28.305-05:002011-09-26T14:50:28.305-05:00Wow.

I get that he might manipulate characters, but for me it started going down hill with deadly genesis and his hiding Vulcan from everyone. Since then he seems to be the scapegoat for every bad thing that has happened internally with the X-teams. <br /><br />I had really hoped that when Scott finally took over the team and became a head master, it would have been with Xavier handing him the keys to go live with Lilandra or something like that. But a more peaceful transition. Wishful thinking I guess.<br /><br />Lee-Erin.....I dont know what the deal with the blanket is. I just wanted to draw a pattern. I agree though if he wasnt wearing pants, then he should definitely have a blanket, patterned or not... just my opinion.Robert Atkins Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328339581827719050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587780658254126152.post-84067620162016603722011-09-26T02:46:38.985-05:002011-09-26T02:46:38.985-05:00Why is it that when a person in a wheelchair has a...Why is it that when a person in a wheelchair has a blanket (hmmm what is with the blanket he is wearing pants afterall)it is always plaid pattern. <br />Awsome as always<br />Lee-ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587780658254126152.post-9023673538634904972011-09-26T02:42:15.082-05:002011-09-26T02:42:15.082-05:00Yes, quite.

I don't mind it when writers poke holes in Xavier's methodology, but the business of having him enslave a sentient for his own ends and having him use several teams of young mutants as cannon fodder came across as writers breaking toys without any plan for putting them back together again. At best, it leaves a mess for others to sweep up, at worst leaves a character almost unusable.<br /><br />But anyway, that art is lovely. There is a sense of paternal pride in Xavier's expression and a sense of serenity overall. Very nice.Suzenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041954083341395158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587780658254126152.post-81982011922742532382011-09-26T02:10:12.186-05:002011-09-26T02:10:12.186-05:00WHY do I draw wheelchairs in my free time? somethi...WHY do I draw wheelchairs in my free time? something is wrong with me.Robert Atkins Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328339581827719050noreply@blogger.com
