History

Charles Xavier was born into a wealthy family in Westchester, N.Y. The family occupied the sprawling Xavier Mansion. At some point in his early life, Charles's father died and his mother remarried Kurt Marko. As a result of this marriage, Charles gained a stepbrother in Cain Marko, later to be known as Juggernaut. Unknown to Charles or his mother, his stepfather had only married his mother for her vast wealth not out of love. His stepfather favored Charles over Cain and sent Cain to military school to keep him out of the way. He was also abusive to Cain. This was something Charles felt with his fledging powers and that he could not fully understand. This caused a rift between Charles and Cain that has never been healed. Indeed, later in life when he gained the powers of the Juggernaut he tried on numerous occassions to kill his stepbrother. When he entered his college years, Charles would study the sciences and medicine, acquiring at least one doctoral degree if not more. Additionally, while in college he would have a glimpse of the adventures to come when he was visited by timetraveling alternate versions of Storm and Wolverine as well as Bishop. After he finished college, Charles ethier enlisted or was drafted into the U.S. Army and served a tour of duty in Europe. Details of his military service have never been made clear. However, it is known that during these adventures that he met and fell in love with Moira McTaggart to whom he proposed marriage. In the end, she refused his proposal but the two would remain close friends and confidents in the years to come. As Dr. McTaggart herself, would describe her relationship with Charles "he has given everything for his work, for his students; his X-Men as for friends I am the only one he has." After his service in the military was completed, it is known that he travelled the world extensively as a solo adventurer for several years. During his adventures, he met Magneto for the first time when they both worked in the treatment ward of a small hospital in the small Eastern Europian country where Magneto was from treating those that they could with their powers. The two men became friends and disclosed to each other the nature of their powers. These events would seem to suggest that Charles has extensive medical training and practical experience to safely diaognose and treat someone successfully; he may even be a fully trained medical doctor although this has never been disclosed. Matters came to a head for Charles and Magneto when small pockets of rebel soldiers tried to retake the country even after the war ended. They used their powers, to defend their patients. Beyond that, Magneto advocated the use of violence as a tool for mutants to gain acceptance whereas Charles wanted to work towards peaceful coexistance between humans and mutants
