Patrick Stewart is most widely known for his roles as Captain
Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and its
successor films, as Professor Charles
Xavier in the X-Men
film series, and for his prolific stage roles with the Royal
Shakespeare Company. Stewart's character, Charles Xavier, is
very similar to Picard and himself, "a grand, deep-voiced,
bald English guy" aka Professor X, the leader and founder of
the X-Men.
Throughout most of his comic book history, Xavier
is paraplegic, although his body houses one of the world's
most powerful mutant minds. As a high-level telepath, Xavier
can read, control, and influence human minds. Stewart has
also since voiced that role as Xavier in 4 video games
including: X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II, and X-Men: Next
Dimension. Truly he is one of the most powerful telepaths in
the Marvel Universe.
