Anonymous asked: As an adult Xavier never showed himself to pursue deadly means to stop a threat, even in his rivalry with Magneto; so why did he do it to a baby, his sister no less, before she had committed any malicious deeds? The second matter is that of Xavier’s psychic powers: in most all cases of mutant powers, especially non-physical abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis, these abilities do not emerge until adolescence; how did Professor X have them as a baby,
1) Um…he was a baby as well. And she tried to kill him in the womb.
2) Most cases aren’t all cases.
In answer to the second question, it was stated in an early issue of X-Men that Xavier’s powers developed early due to his father being exposed to high levels of radiation before fathering him.
