Such were all the deaths of Charles Xavier in the cinema: they were brutal and sad

Questions have been circulating among Marvel fans about how powerful Professor X would be at MCU, given his upcoming appearance in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.

There is no doubt that seeing Patrick Stewart again in “Doctor Strange 2” in his wheelchair, and displaying his psychic powers moved everyone.

However, there was more than one frustration with how easily he was defeated by the Scarlet Witch. But this is not the first time that the professor has fallen into battle: we bring you all the times that Charles Xavier died in the cinema.

“X-Men 3: The Final Battle”: Killed by Jean Gray

The first time Charles X Xavier was seen dying on screen was in 2006 at the height of the original “X-Men” trilogy. In it, Jean Gray gets a boost of power and discovers that the professor was manipulating her mind to hide some secrets from her past, which she explodes against him.

Karolos confronts her at the house where she grew up, as a battle between mutants is raging outside. He tries to calm her down with his forces, but his efforts are in vain.

Jean lifts him up in the air as the halo of his power prevents neither Magneto nor Wolverine from being able to help him. After Professor X tells her “Do not let him control you”, referring to his great power, Jean decides to make him explode in a thousand pieces.

The film, in general, was not well received by the audience, not only because of the fatal death of Charles Xavier, but because Magneto loses his powers, Wolverine kills Jean and Cyclops also dies.

However, it is implied that this is not the final death of the Professor, as in the scene after the credits it seems that his consciousness has been transferred to another body.

“Logan”: the tragic fate of Charles

After his resurrection and other appearances in the “X-Men” movies, Patrick Stewart reappeared as Charles Xavier in the 2017 movie “Logan”.

However, the teacher who appears in the movie Wolverine is far from the figure we were used to seeing.

This is an old man, Charles, in an ordinary wheelchair and he goes crazy. It is explained that the teacher’s brain is classified as a weapon of mass destruction after it caused an accident that killed many people, including his students.

For this reason, Logan has hidden him under the influence of drugs. However, they are forced to go on a journey when Wolverine discovers that there are still mutants in the world.

In the middle of the trip they make a stop in a cabin, eat, rest and talk for a while. Charles says it’s the best day he’s had in years, even though he doesn’t deserve it and goes to bed. However, he was later stabbed in the chest by a persecuted Wolverine clone.

‘Doctor Strange 2’: the professor dies at the hands of Scarlet Witch

The MCU multiverse has given the pattern of belief that practically anything can happen, since there are innumerable universes in which any probability is reasonable.

This was seen in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, where Charles Xavier returned to the big screen as part of a select group of superheroes from another universe, the Illuminati.

In an attempt by Wanda Maximoff to steal power from America Chavez, Scarlet Witch takes over this powerful team. However, it kills each of them.

The Professor is the last enemy to be defeated and Charles uses his psychic powers to enter Wanda’s mind. There she sees that her alter ego, Scarlet Witch, has trapped her in the ruins of her head.

As he is about to save her, the Red Witch cuts his throat. And in this way he dies again under the hands of a strong redhead.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

But what is a fact is that a great character with the powers of a Professor deserves a more dignified death than those who have been shown all these years in the cinema.
