Who is Professor X?
Xavier is the most morally complicated mentor in mainstream comics, and modern writers have increasingly refused to let him off. He runs a school for vulnerable children, which is admirable; he is also the most powerful telepath alive, routinely edits memories without consent, has repeatedly concealed enormous things from the people who trust him, and sends teenagers into combat. The books have grown steadily less comfortable with all of that, and the better recent runs treat his methods as a genuine problem rather than a quirk. He is also comics' most prominent disabled lead — a wheelchair user for sixty years, and the fact that the character's authority never depends on walking is more significant than it is usually given credit for.

What Professor X looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: The X-Men circular X emblem; a wheelchair; Cerebro's helmet
The circled X is one of the best team emblems in comics — a geometric mark that works in one colour at any size and belongs to the whole franchise rather than to him, which makes it the most commercially useful graphic in the X-Men line.
The circled X is a geometric team emblem — one colour, any size, belongs to the whole franchise rather than to him, which makes it the most useful graphic in the X-Men line. Teen and adult.
