History- Charles discovered his telepathic powers whilst very young, finding himself inside the mind of his foster brother. Later Charles went off to fight in the second world war, leaving behind his fiancé Moira McTaggart, who married another. After the war, whilst in Germany he met and fell in love with a Jewish refugee Gabby Haller who unknown to him later gave birth to his son, later to become the mutant Legion. During this time Charles met and became close friends with a man named Magnus Lensher also a mutant. The two had differing opinions on whether mutants and humans could live in peaceful co- existence and Magnus went on to bring about his vision of the world as the mutant menace Magneto. Charles travelled to Cairo where he was attacked by the mutant Amahl El Farouk, it was this incident that led Charles to realise the potential danger to humanity of evil mutants and began plans to bring together a team of young mutants, his X- Men, to defend humanity from their own kind.
