** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': In a PowerOfFriendship example, the combination of Charles' sensitivity and intelligence is able to "thaw" Erik's cold heart, making him the first (and possibly the only) person Erik has loved since the death of the latter's family during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

* EightiesHair: He can pull off the mullet look much better than a lot of the male celebrities of the era in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.



** Downplayed in the scene where his 1973 self interacts with Peter Maximoff before the former departs for Paris. Creator/BryanSinger observes in his commentary that "This is Xavier's father play." It's Singer's way of explaining that Charles instinctually behaves in a paternal manner when he's around a young mutant, especially one who doesn't have much of a direction in his life (in Quicksilver's case, he's a juvenile delinquent who grew up without a father). Peter's smile at the end indicates that he appreciates the sentiment.

It sets up a nice contrast with his portrayal in the previous films, where he remains idealistic, but is a lot more cautious about it now that he's had personal experience.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', the rule-abiding, NiceGuy Iceman juxtaposes the rebellious, {{Jerkass}} Pyro. At the museum's food court, John is being rude to a young man who asks to borrow his lighter, and Bobby tells his friend to knock it off, plainly disapproving of John's annoying behaviour. When the police order the mutants to get on the ground, Drake immediately obeys, but Allerdyce attacks the officers with giant fire balls.

Bryan Singer has confirmed that Havok will appear in X-Men: Apocalypse.


* {{Fiction500}}: He comes from OldMoney, and his inherited fortune must be ''ludicrously'' vast because he has the financial means to operate and maintain his SuperheroSchool, which appears to house hundreds of students (can you imagine how high the food bill alone must be?). Moreover, he can fund the necessary research and development for high-tech vehicles, equipment and facilities that his SuperTeam requires. And the guy still has cash to spare because he enjoys some of the trappings of his upper-class upbringing, such as his [[SharpDressedMan expensive suits]], plus he owns [[Film/XMen1 several horses]] (naturally they're cared for in a well-stocked stable), and has a large [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast personal plane]] which is beautifully furnished. In other words, money is no issue for him ''whatsoever''.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: The once effervescent and idealistic Xavier we saw in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' has crumbled into a heap of melancholia and cynicism in between 1963 and 1973. His telepathy, which he had been at ease with since he was 12 years old, has suddenly become a heavy burden that he avoids using at all cost. Charles' social drinking has deteriorated into alcoholism, and he gives up on other activities that he used to enjoy, such as teaching, scientific research and womanizing, in favour of a self-imposed exile from everything that exists beyond his mansion. Xavier has more or less reduced himself into a ManChild who is completely dependent on Hank, when in the other movies, various mutants depend on the paternal telepath for emotional support. Even the way he dresses has changed dramatically; the impeccable suits that define Professor X's style have been replaced by a gaudy paisley shirt paired with a brown leather jacket, or if he's feeling especially lazy, just an undershirt with jeans. Charles has also neglected his grooming, which makes him look like a confused hippie or a hobo instead of a well-adjusted, upper-class academic.

* {{Trekkie}}: It's hinted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' that he is a fan of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' (an episode is playing on one of his [=TVs=]), which is fitting considering that he's {{Adorkable}} and a HollywoodNerd. He describes Peter's mutation as "fascinating," which is a reference to Spock. Creator/BryanSinger's favourite fandom is ''Franchise/StarTrek'', so it's natural that he would want to bestow that quality on the character (who, coincidentally, can be called Dr. [=McCoy=]).
