Professor X
MutantB tier
Introduction
Professor X is a character in Marvel Contest of Champions. Professor X's role is Mutant.
On the combined Marvel Contest of Champions tier list Professor X is B tier, 112th of the 295 characters ranked, from where 5 community tier lists put Professor X.
What Professor X does
Builds Channeling Charges after his Special 1 and 2 and while charging a Heavy, and those charges power Mind Control: the opponent can't gain Power or use specials, while his own specials turn Unblockable and cost up to 70% less.
How he ends a Channel matters, since cancelling it with an attack or a Block grants a 40% Prowess for 36 seconds. Getting hit by a Basic Attack triggers Falter, making the opponent Miss everything for 2 seconds.
Profile
Professor X carries the title "X".
Background
Bio
Professor X believed in peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans, but this all changed when Moira MacTaggert revealed to him the inevitable demise of mutantkind, unless Professor X could change his ways.
Under the new moniker “X”, he gave up his old dreams.
No more would mutants endure the afflictions and prejudice of humankind.
Under the formidable rule of X, the mutant nation of Krakoa was founded.
And those who defy the nation must enter the Mindscape and face Professor X in a duel of mental strength.
