The Bloody Doors Off

I’ll go a step farther.

I say Professor Xavier is a predator.

Let’s take a deep dive:

• Lives alone on an estate in the middle of nowhere
• He’s obviously rich, but how did he get his money? Inheritance? Or, given his mutant ability, could he have simply walked into any and every bank in New York State and push the idea to give him half of what they had in their vaults?
• Started by inviting 5 teenagers to live with him
  • Did they, of free will, give consent, or did the world’s most powerful telepath plant it in their minds?
• Does the world truly “fear and hate” them? Could they have been led to believe this to ostracize them from society?
• Are the “children of the atom” truly mutants, or is that what they were brainwashed to believe they were?
• When one of them dies and comes back, is it because they briefly broke free of his mind control?
  • Are Professor X’s “deaths” really just “going out for smokes”?
• And have you noticed that he doesn’t need to use the wheelchair any more? Just walking around with a fishbowl on his head, probably amplifying his mental hold over an ever-expanding group?
• When he got tired of the quintet, Professor Xavier simply ‘relaunched’ with a new group of ‘students’. By now, the original group have adopted Stockholm Syndrome and stick around because they have nowhere else to go
• And to reach today’s audience, he’s clearly presented Wolverine as Daddy and Jean Grey as Mommy.

(Yes, this was very well thought out, and was inspired by a random thought while I was using the restroom. And it wouldn’t leave my brain until I wrote it out.

You’re welcome.)
