Is Professor X good?
Professor X stops Miss and Evade cold, acts as a strong Controller, and gives a nice boost to Mutant teams, which puts him at A. Dexterity is basically automatic on him since every dodge earns a Precision Buff, and Stupefy stretches out the Stun from his Parry so he can hold a longer Heavy Charge and rack up more Channeling Charges.
Low health, Tech champions, and Power Control are what hold him back, and Block Proficiency is worth grabbing since he doesn't have much of a health pool to work with.
Strengths
- Shuts down Miss and Evade entirely
- Strong Controller in a fight
- Boosts Mutant teammates
Weaknesses
- Low health pool
- Struggles against Tech champions
- Power Control disrupts his kit
Profile

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.
