** At the end of ''Film/XMen1'', Magneto asks him what happens when someone finds out about his mutant school, and Xavier replies that he has a great deal of pity for anyone who comes to the school looking for trouble. He was probably referring to ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes himself]]'', since in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' Stryker's forces only attacked when they knew that Xavier wasn't there, having incapacitated him ''[[DangerouslyGenreSavvy first]]''. Xavier also claims that if he wanted to, he could make Wolverine spend the rest of his life believing he was a "[[BrainwashedAndCrazy six-year-old girl with pigtails]]", simply for ignoring his rules about ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor smoking]]'' in the mansion! He was joking that time, but imagine the carnage Xavier could cause if he ever got downright ''[[GoodIsNotNice furious]]''?! [[note]]Look up Onslaught.[[/note]]

** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Apocalypse sees himself as a god, whereas Professor X serves as a MessianicArchetype of the movie series. They are both mentors to their respective teams, and they reach out to mutants who feel lost, confused and alone. They promote radically different ideologies: Apocalypse believes that the Earth should only belong to the strongest and the weak should be wiped out, while Charles thinks that it can be shared by everyone equally and peacefully. Their position on the [[http://s15.postimg.org/9vr8qydbv/Defend_Destroy.jpg "Defend" and "Destroy" posters]] mark them as foils.

** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is the leader of the heroic team that eventually defeats the BigBad. He brought them together, trained them and inspired them to be valiant when faced with great peril.



* DoesNotLikeGuns: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he is very uncomfortable while aiming a gun at Erik's forehead during a training exercise. He refuses to pull the trigger despite Erik's insistence.



* HurtingHero: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self has completely fallen apart at the seams, haunted by the hardships he had suffered during the Cuban Missile Crisis and losing most of his students and staff to the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar.



** He retains his thick, wavy mane for part of ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' instead of being bald for its entirety. {{Justified}} in this case because Xavier didn't display any signs of male-pattern baldness in ''Days of Future Past'', so the hair loss which occurs later on is not natural.

Moreover, Charles is pushing 50 in 1983, yet the actor was not given any ageing make-up, and there is very little grey in his hair. He should appear at least 30 years older than Jean Grey and Scott Summers, but Creator/JamesMcAvoy's youthful features make him look like he's only about 15 years their senior.

This is further accentuated in ''The Rogue Cut'' when Raven removes Hank's eyewear in order to see his face more clearly, and she kisses him shortly afterwards.



* DemotedToExtra: He appears in the beginning of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' to be rescued by Mystique and never shows up afterwards. Still, at least he survived unlike the rest of the ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' cast, with everyone who didn't appear in the earlier/canonically later films being unceremoniously killed off between films. But of course, he had to survive because in the film continuity he's probably Cyclops's father rather than his younger brother.
