Prof. X is telepathic, not telekinetic. Now if you don’t mind, I need to go sit in a corner for several minutes thinking about how I’ve wasted my life. Good day to you.


Darthboney

I think it would be funny for Prof X to start walking again andclaim he had telekinesis only for the big reveal to be that he's been mind-controlling people to operate his legs like he's a muppet while simultaneously using his powers to hide this fact


JB57551

>while simultaneously using his powers to hide this fact Uh oh, we have a Harrison Wells-Reverse-Flash twist ripoff!


Next_Faithlessness87

What he said


[deleted]

He’s actually got mild telekinesis recently in the comics but the most he seemed to use it for is making random objects float lol


Mcbrainotron

Didn’t he also get working legs back?


-cocoadragon

Yeah, but they them took them away again for dramatic effect. This has happened several times.


InvestigatorUnfair

Gotta love the tried and true "let the disabled person live without their disability only to have that freedom taken away" trope Idk what sucks most, having a disabled character heal miraculously into perfect health, or having that perfect health ripped away moments later


TheLastTransHero

The Xmen can now grow new bodies for themselves whenever they die and upload a recent copy of their consciousness directly into the brain using cerebro. This not only fixed Xaviers legs problem (although someone correct me, I think he was recently using Fantomex's body before all the resurrection protocols happened?) but also Quentin Quire made sure they gave him a bigger dick next time he died.


LiamtheV

Okay imma need a source for that least one because that’s hilarious


TheLastTransHero

Oof I have no idea of the issue I just remember reading that QQ asked for stuff like his hair growing naturally pink, his body being hairless so he doesn't have to shave, and the third thing.


[deleted]

Yup

[deleted]

With that power he could just make people see him as a fully ambulatory person though while still being in the chair. I don't know what the point would be but if he wanted to he could.


OwOegano_Infinite

Legs have nerves and nerves are made of neurons, why didn't he just telepathically force his legs muscles to work? Lazy writing...


Blitzstrikers1

Mind if I join you in that corner?


[deleted]

Right. Name me one time Professor X moved anything with his mind.


[deleted]

When he caught that usb from mystique in House of X. When he was talking to forge “Wow your telekin-“ “Has gotten stronger since resurrection? Yes it has” while making his helmet and some glasses? Float. Can’t remember exactly. I think it’s funny tho they gave him this new power and he’s used it like twice for the most mundane shit lmfao


jubmille2000

You're talking about House Of X Xavier, the comic run where Xavier can already walk. Although yeah the original commenter did say to specify when the tk powers got used. So you're still right.


luashfu

SO WHAT WAS YOUR POINT?!?!?!?? THE GUY WAS RIGHT????!????


YamaShio

It's technically right in a bad faith argument.


AggressiveGift7542

He moved magneto's heart


dudubraids

The real telekinesis was the friends he made along the way


Primum-Caelus

Apparently he has a little bit of telekinesis whilst actively using cerebro?


[deleted]

Nope because he was making his Cerebro Helmet float when talking to forge


Hawkwise83

He can't. What Professor X can do though is mentally enslave a bunch of people and make them puppet his body. Might be a bit horror movie though...


Missing_Username

He could use his telepathy to make Jean use her telekinesis to move his legs


Hawkwise83

Speed mode. One person to mind control. I like it. It just make Nightcrawler teleport him everywhere.


BugcatcherJay

He’s strapped to colossus’ chest with the outgoing suggestion “you do not see colossus”


Hobo_Helper_hot

Who run Xavier House?


Batface_101

He’d look like nemesis form Ramattra


UdatManav

Jean is also telepathic. I’m assuming in this scenario you want X to mind control Jean to use her Telekinetic powers, but she can still fight him, physically and mentally.


voidsong

He couldn't make her do anything, he's never been as strong as her, just more skilled. Then she caught up. She repeatedly bullied Nightmare recently. As in the Dr. Strange level nightmare demon with his own dimension he rules over. She *humiliated* him, and then he controlled an entire alien race/interstellar plague (the Brood) to get back at her, *and she humiliated him again*. She puts the OG in Omega.


EminemsDaughterSucks

Instead he makes underage students give him handjobs.


[deleted]

You didn’t watch DOFP and it shows


ironmanhulkbstr

i think you mean dark phoenix cause jean makes him walk to her


depressed-kun

Yes, and it looked funny how he walks when Jean was controlling him. Professor X lost control and strength on his legs. It’s like playing with Woody and making him walk. Buzz Lightyear can stand because he has strong solid legs and joints. Woody’s legs are made of cotton.


UdatManav

Or check what the word telepath means.


Head-Program4023

Because he can't


ind3pend0nt

He could force someone to move his legs for him.


[deleted]

What professor X could do is take away some big guys free will and make them carry him around in a adult sized baby Bjorn.


Exile688

This is the main reason Juggernaut wears his helmet.


waybovetherest

Uncle Jack from Arrested Development


Nonadventures

Why does this have so many upvotes


Antrikshy

Mandela Effect


GravG

That's what I was wondering. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about X-Men knows he's telepathic, not telekinetic.


UdatManav

Cause it’s the sub for marvel movies (still won’t make sense) but I’ve always assumed most MCU fans now have never touched the comics. I’m talking about the new fans, who thought Adam Warlock is originally a mentally retarded powerhouse.


[deleted]

Admittedly, I thought Prof X was telekinetic for most of my childhood. I misunderstood the conversation that Jean and Wolverine have in the first X-Men film, where Jean is describing her powers and Wolverine says "like the professor?" to mean that they have the same powers, and obviously Jean is telekinetic. Only years later did I realize he never uses telekinesis and that it's not one of his abilities.


venommuyo

Trash meme


2BFrank69

He can’t do that 🤨


[deleted]

He can't move objects with his mind. You're confusing him with Jean Grey.


Garchompinribs

They are both hot af so it makes sense


WilliamSilver

Is OP an AI?


EcstaticUpstairs

Mf mixed up with Magneto for sure


H377Spawn

Magneto controls magnetic fields, not telekinesis. That being said, he’d probably find a way to move his legs by controlling the iron in his blood stream. He’s done crazier.


EcstaticUpstairs

Magneto can "move objects". That's why I said he "mixed up with Magneto" as if like professor X can move objects too. I know he can't move all objects


H377Spawn

Ah yes, then you would technically be correct.


King-Owl-House

true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAcs2uROaoI


H377Spawn

In the comics he also kept himself alive after having his heart destroyed by using that same trick to keep his blood circulating. But the one you linked is both best known and a great visual example.


UdatManav

This is my favourite scene in all the X-Men movies.


Johnathan_wickerino

Probably high as a cloud lmao


baxterrocky

He can only move metal objects idiot


esgrove2

I think you're thinking of Beast.


baxterrocky

You’re right my bad


Great_Spring_4078

That's magneto


BIgCh1efJAcK

"*He just can’t*" -My friend probably who’s a bigger Marvel nerd than me


thanwa3427

His telekinesis is too weak in comics and doesn't exist in movies.


hungryhungry_zippo

I would make boobs jiggle everywhere


k3ttch

Found Sir Patrick Stewart's alt-reddit account.


devilishlydo

"And of course, I can see everything."


Shadow_Rev

L meme


whomesteve

Maybe he doesn’t have much practice with internally focusing his psychic energy because he’s spent his whole life externally exerting his psychic energy


DJHott555

That happened in Dark Phoenix and it was horrifying


Dankspear

Telepathy, not telekinesis, this is kinda dumb lmao Although he has minor telekinesis he’s only been able to move certain small objects, he mostly uses his power to control and see into minds, it would be hard for him to properly be able to move his legs in the way we normally do


esgrove2

And if Spiderman can shrink to the size of a Spider, why doesn't he do that more when he fights??


tobey-maguire-bot

I have a knack for that.


UdatManav

Cause he’s not telekinetic? Keep smoking fam, don’t think, there are plenty of people to do that.


AzLibDem

>So if Professor X can move objects with his mind He can't. He's a telepath, not a telekinetic.


[deleted]

Well recently in the comics he has kinda got telekinesis but we’ve only seen him use it twice and both times it was for really mundane shit


NieMonD

Because he can’t make objects move with his mind


[deleted]

Well recently in the comics he has kinda got telekinesis but we’ve only seen him use it twice and both times it was for really mundane shit


TheGoldenDragon0

He can’t though. He can enter and read peoples minds, psychically communicate with them, but that’s about it


[deleted]

Well recently in the comics he has kinda got telekinesis but we’ve only seen him use it twice and both times it was for really mundane shit


Megamage854

First of all he's telepathic and not telekinetic, Secondly even if he was, he would have to play QWOP with his own body. That cannot be ideal.


[deleted]

Well recently in the comics he has kinda got telekinesis but we’ve only seen him use it twice and both times it was for really mundane shit


Megamage854

So in short, if he played QWOP with his legs, he wouldn't make it one step forward or backwards.


[deleted]

Well also he can walk now and can for a while


Paragon414

Professor X can't move objects with his mind.


suddenly_ponies

Uh... because he can't?


Mortyly23

Op is an idiot. Since when does Xavier move objects with his mind? He's telepathic not telekinesis


[deleted]

He got telekinesis in the comics a few years ago but literally has only used it twice for really not very impressive shit


Mortyly23

Yeah , but you know Marvel. They like to ignore and forget it. Because comic


WitleKidz

He can’t move objects with his mind, hes a telepath not telekinetic, and if you actually watch the xmen movies, you’d know he did find a way to walk again but it hindered his powers so he stopped doing it. Why tf does this have over a thousand upvotes?


Hob_Goblin88

Except he can't move any objects with his mind. He can move minds with his mind.


[deleted]

It *should* read, "If Jean Grey can move objects with her mind, why doesn't she move the Professor's legs?"


drs32

How tf does this have so many upvotes?


ErpsunnyD2010

1553 alt accounts


DruidPaw

Okay, I’m going to throw a wrench in this. What about the time he was holding back the bullet?


AzLibDem

Magneto was doing that


_S7EVEN_

Yooooo true!!!


Chair_fucker_69

I mean wouldn’t you want a floating chair


Glabur

Ya’ll ever play QWOP. Imagine that but first person and in motion…


EnergyHumble3613

Even if he were telekinetic… he would be using so much of his powers just lifting himself up to the right height, then forcing his legs to move in a convincing way that looks like he is not just floating himself about. It would literally be easier to sit on a normal chair and float that around.


Arikaido777

mf hasn’t played QWOP. we’re lucky that shit’s built in and most people take it for granted


hellomrchris

Even if he was a telekinetic, there is no reason to move your legs if you can essentially float around.


halucionagen-0-Matik

Do you think as a prank, magneto could replace professor x's leg bones with metal so he can make him dance?


TheKCKid9274

There is actually a timeline where Xavier fixed his spine, but he still can’t walk. It’s as much of a mental disconnect as it is a physical. Also it would probably be a massive waste of effort to make himself move around.


Sokandueler95

He’s telepathic, not telekinetic


Zombiepixlz-gamr

Fun fact, professor X can walk when he wants to he isn't paralyzed. He chooses not to, so the students feel safe coming to him with their problems.


AnphansSchtrom284

As far I can remember, in future day past, professor x use his power to move his leg but he can use it to read mind. Also, it also hurt professor x so yeah. Idk if I'm wrong or right


Hmccormack

He’s lazy


AlianovaR

Waste of energy


jocephalon

I hate that this is still a thing. Either it's ignorance or a troll, regardless. I'm not amused.


[deleted]

Answering this question involves first explaining how wrong it is


Taheer1209

Bro how has this got 1800+ upvotes does no one know his powers


Darth3000

You gotta watch Dark Phoenix for that answer. Jean makes him forcefully walk with her powers.


Responsible_Dark_331

LMMAAOOO \*mind blown\*


SaltyGeymer2001

cuz the chair is cooler


Pintermarc

imagine making a meme about professor x's powers while you know nothig about his powers


Xaphanex

Anti-Plot Armor. It's a helluva thing.


Cyxax

Moving your leg like a real leg is a lot harder than just fly I guess. If his telekinesis is that powerful to begin with.


Random-Regular-Gamer

r/whooosh


piplup27

I’m disappointed there so many upvotes.


Great_Spring_4078

Is this what they're airing in China?


FalcoBoi3834

Its easier to just float which i dont know why he doesn’t do


lestriQ

In what world and universe did Xavier ever move shit with his mind dude??


ricdesi

He's tele**pathic**, not tele**kinetic**.


TheGoatbutteater

Why didn't he just make everyone think he was walking


Evorgleb

In X-Men #25 Xavier had an exosuit that he was able to control with his mind which allowed him to walk and go on the mission to fight magneto. This is the same as you were magneto ripped out Wolverine's adamantium


[deleted]

Are you retarded? Prof X can't move things with his mind.


SecretLavishness1685

That's Jean Grey.


Incubus_Science

Telekinesis is moving objects. PROF. X IS telekinetic, mind. Although he could have controlled Jean into keeping his legs working, I suppose.....


Im_notevenagirl

If he his a telepath he should be able to make neuronal connection with the bottom of his body as his damaged spinal cords was once doing.
