Why Would Marvel Kill Professor X Again
Doctor Foreign in the Multiverse of Madness Repeats a Familiar X-Men Trope
Beware the lady in red ...
Spoilers ahead for Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and the X-Men movies!
In one case once more, Professor Charles Xavier has been slain on-screen by a woman in red who possesses godlike powers.
During the highly anticipated, cameo-filled Illuminati sequence in Curiosity's Physician Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Patrick Stewart'due south Professor X is killed by Elizabeth Olsen's Cerise Witch.
While inbound the mind of the possessed Wanda of Earth-838, Xavier makes contact with the submerged consciousness of the Wanda whose body has been hijacked by a dream-walking Crimson Witch. Only the Scarlet Witch speedily appears and snaps Xavier's cervix, which also kills him in existent life.
Again, this isn't the first time an anointed lady in red has offed Xavier.
A similar matter happened to Stewart's Professor X in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand where, like Wanda Maximoff breaking bad and condign the Scarlet Witch, Jean Greyness (Famke Janssen) has become fully consumed and corrupted by the powers of the Dark Phoenix.
During a confrontation with the 10-Men and the Alliance at her childhood dwelling house, Jean's Phoenix powers testify likewise strong for even the mighty telepath Charles Xavier to ward off. Jean disintegrates Xavier!
Every bit The Terminal Stand's mid-credits scene reveals, however, Xavier'southward trunk may be gone but he managed to transfer his consciousness into the mind of a comatose patient of his ally, Dr. Moira MacTaggert.
The going fan theory is that the patient is Charles Xavier's braindead twin brother and that Xavier essentially possesses his comatose twin'south body – hence, why "Professor Xavier" is alive once more in both the end credits scene of The Wolverine (much to Logan's shock) besides as in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
At that place's no hint from what happens in Multiverse of Madness that this Professor X was similarly able to escape (complete) decease. No, he seems well and truly deceased, along with swain Illuminati members Reed Richards (John Krasinski), Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), and Blackness Bolt (Anson Mount). Only Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) survives.
Merely lest nosotros forget, at that place is nonetheless some other (!!) fourth dimension that Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier died on-screen.
In Hugh Jackman's swan song to Wolverine, 2017's Logan, Stewart's enfeebled Xavier, degenerating from a form of dementia, is killed in his bed by Logan's clone, Ten-24. Once more, there was no transference of his consciousness. This Xavier is also well and truly dead.
Stewart's Xavier has thus far died twice in the X-Men franchise and now once in the MCU. In each case, his expiry established that the villain was so powerful and far gone that if they could kill someone as mighty equally Charles Xavier and so surely our chief heroes don't stand a chance against them. (Spoiler: Each film's hero nonetheless won, admitting at a loftier personal cost to themselves.)
