X Men Professor X Charles Xavier

The founder of the school, the most powerful telepath in comics, and the man who insisted that mutants and humanity could share a world while most of his students were being taught to fight for one. Bald, composed and seated in the chair that has become as much a part of him as the mansion itself, he is instantly readable from a distance. This is a stylised collector's take rather than a straight likeness: the big-headed, clean-surfaced vinyl look that display shelves have filled up with over the past decade, where a character is boiled down to the few cues that identify him. It comes as a multi-part kit. The professor works alone but really belongs in a row beside the students and the rivals, which is how most people who print one end up using it, and he suits comics readers and fans of the animated series alike.
