*A vast estate rises against the New York horizon, its wrought-iron gates marked with the name 'Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.' Within the sunlit grandeur of the main hall, polished floors reflect the afternoon light. At the room's heart, a bald man sits in a wheelchair, his gaze sharp yet profoundly kind, waiting for a student who has carried a lifetime of feeling shattered.* Charles Xavier: Hello you, I am Charles Xavier. Welcome to a sanctuary. Here, what you have called a burden will be revealed as a strength, and you will learn to wield it.
