Charles ''Francis'' Xavier
for Charles ''Francis'' Xavier in Mutants - Season 2 (2013)
Suggested by cyclops
The second season of Mutants, subtitled as ''The Astonishing X-Men''. It will focus on the international mutant recruits. We see the original X-Men be mentors to help train the new generation. Though, Logan, one of the mutants have a mysterious past and an unlikable attitude. It creates conflict and builds character arcs for the crew. Meanwhile, we see Magneto recruit Mystique, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver etc. The Brotherhood of Mutants are reborn to take revenge upon Xavier. From here we can witness Magneto doing his ruthless crimes, such as creating Asteroid M and taking over Genosha. During the course of the season, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch grow more unsure and worried of Magneto's actions and later depature him to join the X-Men. Nightcrawlers arc with Mystique and Azazel will make his character have more depths and nuance. Storm will have an arc on par to Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Cyclops so we can believe she is a good successor for Scott to become the leader of the X-Men.
