I guess I can't agree with your opinion. I wish we had more pampered aristocratics like Charles. Maybe it's just my Jewishness or my relative unfamiliarity with the X-men franchise coming through I can recognize all the characters, but I wouldn't call myself a fan , but I didn't read Charles as the hero at all.

You see, Tom isn't really a guy who enjoys talking up his accomplishments. WTH is Xavier taking the pain, staying locked into Shaw's mind for and how is it that he is Shaw's mind during the entire duration of the quarter's course? Warships fired missiles at Erik, two sovereign nations tried to kill him and the people with him without trying and convicting them of a capital offense- he's in a war.
