One day, Cain claims that there is candy in the locker room hidden by their dad. Xavier believes him only to get locked inside the door by Cain. Scared of darkness, Xavier suddenly feels anger at Cain and began focusing on making Cain lie on the floor in pain. Cain Marko suddenly felt great pain, and feels the need to lie down and cry. Xavier starts thinking that Cain will open the door, which Cain suddenly feels the strong urge to do. Xavier then shouts at Cain that he hopes he throws himself out of the stairs, which Cain does. Hearing the sharp sound of pain from his son, Kurt ran and saw Charles looking at him with glowing eyes, horrifying Kurt. Kurt then orders Xavier to stop or he will beat him up.

Xavier then links his toughts with his mother. He also learns all the abuse Cain had to go through and begins to feel pity on him. His mother died of a brokenheart and Cain learning of this just makes Cain's bullying even worse. Xavier had enough of this and makes them feel immense amount of pain, which he inteded to knock them both unconscious, but instead kills Kurt and mentally hurts Cain. Xavier then intends to run away with his girlfriend from Oxford, Moira Kinross. Moira refuses his offer and deeply hurt by this, Xavier ran away, alone.

Farouk and Xavier battles for control over Ororo's mind which ened with the Shadow King losing. Xavier aknowledges that Ororo is a mutant but did not reveal her nature so that she would not be shocked.

Xavier then went to Haifa, Israel to meet with the head of a clinic for traumatized Holocaust victim, Gabrielle Haller. He also became friends with a volunteer by the name of Magnus. The two found common ground regarding their mutual interests in genetic mutation. Xavier kept his powers a secret, unaware that Magnus is also a mutant. Xavier and Gabrielle Haller also became close. Gabrielle and Xavier eventually slept together and their relationship blossomed into love. Charles and Magnus went to a bar where they fought with the locals after they teased a homeless patient. Magnus and Charles then start talking at the aftermath of the fight, with Xavier learning that Magnus is also a Holocaust survivor. Magnus then expresses disdain for the humans, claiming that they are lower than mutants and need to destroy them before they destroy humankind. Magnus then reveals that he is a mutant, with Xavier revealing that he too, is a mutant. Xavier disagreed, claiming that humans and mutants can coexist together. They were interrupted by a scream, whom Charles recognize as Gabriella. They saw Hydra troops capturing her and taking her to a remote place in Kenya. There, the leader of the troop is revealed to be the high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D member named Alexander Pierce. Pierce orders the troops to get answers out of her about the whereabouts of a missing Nazi gold stash. Xavier then reveals that he is a mind-reader and locates Gabriella in Kenya. Magnus reveals that he can control metals and uses his power to take control of a jet. Gabriella is then approached by a scientist named Abraham Cornelius. Cornelius then threatens to use her as a test subject for his new death drug and pulls out a syringe from his pocket containing some grey liquid. Xavier asks Magnus how long the trip will take, angering Magnus. Magnus then speeds up the jet and after 3. 38 hours, they arrived in the secret base and attacks the Hydra soldiers. By now, Gabriella has been injected with the drug and is feeling limp. Magnus then realizes that he is right. Humans are trying to kill inoccent mutants unless something is done. Magnus then uses his powers to lift steel pipes which he uses to stab the soldiers. He then uses a helicopter to decapitate Cornelius, ignoring Xavier's plea to not have blood on his hands. Xavier then uses his telephatic powers to control Magnus and make him throw the helicopter into the sky. However, the roof starts crumbling and fell, crushing Xavier's feet. Magnus then realizes what happened at escapes, saying that he will attack New York tommorow as a statement.

Xavier could not find Haller anywhere and returned to America. Thinking clarly as to his next move, Charles found files he archived containing the names of young mutants he has met.
