Who is Professor X?

Professor X — Charles Xavier — is the world's most powerful telepath and founder of the X-Men, a mutant who dedicated his life to peaceful coexistence between mutants and humanity, establishing a school to train young mutants to use their abilities responsibly.

Few names carry more weight in Marvel's mutant mythology than Professor X, who made their Silver Age debut in Hit Comics #24 in 1967, brought to life by the legendary Stan Lee and Werner Roth. Over nearly six decades of publication — stretching remarkably from 1967 all the way to 2026 — this figure has proven to be one of comics' most enduring presences, with 84 catalog appearances and seven recognized key issues that any serious collector will want to track down. The pages of X-Men, Marvel Origins, and Wolverine are where Professor X most frequently holds court, sharing adventures with some of Marvel's most iconic figures: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Scott Summers, Hank McCoy, and the Beast. Published through Panini Deutschland, this catalog run is a testament to just how deeply Professor X has resonated with readers across generations and across the globe.
