** Whilst clearly NightmareFuel, the Professor's BlackEyesOfEvil when this happens can be seen as awesome due to how beautifully awestruck he looks once Apocalypse decides to take over. [[http://turntherightcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/X-Men-Apocalypse-Teaser-Screenshot-Professor-Charles-Xavier-James-McAvoy-Black-Eyes.jpg Darkness has never looked so attractive before.]] For some fans, [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide Dark!Charles]] is the male mutant equivalent of the terrifying-yet-elegant Elf matriach Galadriel from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'' when she is tempted by the evil power of the One Ring. Xavier at his most corrupt would have the FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon, and because he wields ThePowerOfLove, [[AGodAmI the following quote]] would describe him perfectly.
--->'''Dark Galadriel:''' Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!

** It's not just that he moves fast, he thinks fast too. Hanging up curtains and drapes to act as improvised safety nets for the people he's throwing out of the building, throwing others so that they land in a pool, prioritizing effectively so that he can rescue as many as possible... The whole scene spells out that it's more than just speed. He is one of the most absurdly powerful characters in the franchise.
** Special mention must be given to the times when he even moonwalks into one room, hitches a ride on the debris of the exploding floor to catch a student in mid-air, and then later grabs two students, punts a table through a window, and then runs faster than the speed at which the table is falling to hitch a ride on it.
** Notably the explosion is continuing even as Peter keeps saving people, and it seems to gradually be getting faster, illustrating that Peter ''is'' starting to slow down. Yet despite this, and his own dicking-around, Peter saves '''''every single person in the building''''' aside from the guy at the dead center of the explosion - because he's just that good.
