As a devoted fan of the X-Men universe and its profound impact on countless viewers like myself, I must say that the quotes from these films resonate deeply with me due to their insightful messages about humanity, resilience, and the power of redemption.

2024 has been an extraordinary year for fans of the Marvel universe within the 20th Century Fox cinematic world. The joint appearance of Deadpool and Wolverine on screen marked the long-awaited entrance of iconic Fox Marvel characters such as Wesley Snipes’ Blade and Dafne Keen’s X-23 into the MCU. However, a notable figure missing from the film was Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor Charles Xavier, a character he played in previous X-Men movie series.

Luckily, Stewart had another chance to play Professor X in 2022’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” However, many comic book film enthusiasts yearn for more appearances of him in Marvel’s cinema releases. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and recall some of the most memorable lines spoken by Charles Xavier, portrayed either by Stewart or McAvoy, within the Marvel movie timeline.

10 “Mankind Is Not Evil, Just… Uninformed”

X-Men (2000)

In a natural and easy-to-read manner: Patrick Stewart’s portrayal of Professor Charles Xavier marked the beginning of his wise guidance in future X-Men films. Early on in the movie, Charles delivers one of the most thought-provoking lines not only in the X-Men series, but also among superhero film quotes. During a tour of the X-Men mansion, he shares this profound statement with the doubtful mutant, Logan.

At the outset of the film’s portrayal of the character, it is made clear that, unlike characters such as Magneto, Charles harbors a deep affection for humanity and holds faith in the potential of humans to eventually embrace mutants.

9 “The Next Time You Feel Like Showing Off… Don’t”

X2 (2003)

In the movie X2, not all of Professor Charles Xavier’s pupils behave as exemplary students might. For instance, during a scene at a museum, Pyro engages in a brawl with some youngsters at the mansion. However, Bobby, using his ice-manipulating abilities, attempts to rescue one of them, causing the entire room (excluding mutants) to suddenly freeze.

Xavier uses his mind-controlling abilities, but Charles remains unimpressed by the idea of their secrets being revealed. In response, he sharply reprimands Bobby with a biting remark. What stands out, though, is Patrick Stewart’s humorous, understated delivery of one of Xavier’s most sarcastic lines.

8 “Don’t Let It Control You”

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Worldwide theatergoers were taken aback when Patrick Stewart’s character met an unexpected end in X-Men: The Last Stand, at the hands of his student Jean Grey, surprisingly enough. As Xavier and the rest of the X-Men strive to restrain the rampaging Jean Grey, she refuses him access to her mind to free herself. In his last moments, Xavier implores Jean not to let her powers rule over her.

In the midst of Jean’s stormy powers overwhelming the house, there’s a brief pause – a dramatic instant – where Charles speaks his memorable quote. This instant, filled with emotion, might be the most extraordinary moment in the entire film. Right before he vanishes, Charles manages to flash a poignant smile at Logan, adding another epic touch to this heart-stopping scene.

7 “I Always Believed I Couldn’t Be The Only One In The World, The Only Person Who Was… Different, And Here You Are”

X-Men: First Class (2011)

In a fresh start for the movie series, X-Men: First Class delved into the beginnings of Professor X’s mutant academy and his contentious history with Magneto. A noteworthy aspect of the film is the portrayal of Xavier’s friendship with Mystique, which blossomed from their childhood encounter. Raven finds it astonishing that she has finally encountered someone who isn’t afraid of her, and as Charles reveals, he had long been searching for someone like her.

This lays the foundation for one of the most impressive segments in later X-Men movies, where the bond between Charles and Raven evolves from a familial tie to friendship, then to enmity. Simultaneously, it illustrates that Charles’ openness towards accepting all mutants originated at a very tender age.

6 “As I Told You A Long Time Ago, You Are Not The Only One With Gifts”

The Wolverine (2013)

In the 2013 movie “The Wolverine,” Patrick Stewart doesn’t appear extensively, but he pops up unexpectedly in a scene after the credits, joined by Ian McKellen as Magneto. They encounter Logan at an airport, hinting at the tension that would build up in the following year’s 2014 film “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” When Logan first sees Charles, his old mentor delivers a memorable line from their past.

In this scene, there’s an evident reference back to the original X-Men film, where Logan and Charles initially meet. Charles uses telepathy to convey these specific words to Logan, signifying that he’s in the right place at the X-Men Mansion. Moreover, it adds a satisfying touch for fans who might have been surprised just by Stewart’s return. In The Wolverine, this moment serves as a delightful nod to diehard fans.

5 “It’s Not Their Pain You’re Afraid Of. It’s Yours, Charles”

X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014)

X-Men: Days of Future Past is widely regarded by many as one of the top superhero movies due to its unique blending of two Fox series into a single timeline. The opportunity to watch James McAvoy’s Charles Xavier converse with Patrick Stewart’s version is indeed delightful, particularly when an exchange of wisdom occurs between them, like the insightful quote that Xavier shares with his younger self.

At this juncture, the young Charles is grappling with a spiritual dilemma, and his elder counterpart senses his apprehension towards his own abilities, fearing they’re too powerful for him to aid others. However, his older self encourages him to conquer his personal torment, so he can instill hope in all the other mutants.

4 “Those With The Greatest Power Protect Those Without”

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

In terms of reactions towards the film X-Men: Apocalypse, there’s a wide range of opinions. However, one undeniable highlight is the memorable quote from James McAvoy as Charles Xavier during its climactic scene. Despite Apocalypse’s scheme to let mutants dominate the world, his plans are thwarted when Charles guides him to the astral plane. In response to Apocalypse’s assertion that those with the most power should rule, Charles counters by stating that it is their duty to aid those in need instead.

This line, although a bit cheesy, effectively captures the essence of Charles Xavier’s character and explains why he established the X-Men. As a character, he is distinguished by his commitment to using his abilities for the greater good, whereas many others are too consumed by greed and power to be genuinely selfless.

3 “This Was, Without A Doubt, The Most Perfect Night I’ve Had In A Very Long Time”

Logan (2017)

As I sat down to play the final chapter of the X-Men saga, I knew this was supposed to be Logan, the swansong for Sir Patrick Stewart as the iconic Professor X. True enough, it seemed like a grim tale for our aged and embittered leader, Charles Xavier, who’s grown increasingly disillusioned with humanity’s treatment of mutants. Yet, what most didn’t realize was that this wasn’t just bitterness, but rather self-reproach weighing heavily on the shoulders of the man responsible for the tragic loss of countless mutant lives during the underreported Westchester incident.

Following a pleasant afternoon with what appeared to be a typical rural American family, Charles confides in Logan that he appreciates the day, but doesn’t feel he deserves it. However, a shocking revelation unfolds – this isn’t his old friend he’s conversing with; it’s X-24, a relentless clone of Wolverine. Tragically, Xavier meets his end in a heartbreaking manner, perhaps mistakenly believing that Logan was responsible. However, let’s hope that even an elderly Professor X possesses enough psychic prowess to discern the difference.

2 “You Are Not Broken”

Dark Phoenix (2019)

As a gamer, I found myself immersed in the cinematic universe of X-Men once again with the release of Dark Phoenix. Unlike other adaptations, this time Fox opted for a younger cast to bring the infamous comic book tale to life. Much like my fellow mutants at Professor Charles’ academy, I was drawn into the storyline as he began mentoring a young Jean Grey. However, when she resisted the notion that she required ‘fixing,’ Professor X simply stated that she didn’t need it.

Contrary to what Charles initially anticipated, Jean Grey turns out to be much more complex than he thought at this stage. Unlike their encounter in X-Men: The Last Stand, where Charles didn’t survive a clash with Jean Grey, in this instance, he does manage to endure the fight. However, tragically, Jean transforms into a flying phoenix in an act of self-sacrifice following the confrontation. In memory of her and fulfilling his pledge to aid her, Charles eventually renames his school as the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters.

1 “Just Because Someone Stumbles And Loses Their Way, Doesn’t Mean They’re Lost Forever”

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness (2022)

It came as quite a shock to many that Patrick Stewart wasn’t finished portraying Professor X. However, he has returned to this role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. In this film, he is seen as part of the Illuminati, a powerful council from multiple universes. This group takes it upon themselves to apprehend Doctor Strange, suspecting him to be more of a threat to their Earth than the Scarlet Witch.

In a different phrasing, the scenario suggests that the Illuminati are greatly mistaken about their assumption, yet Charles is aware and eventually sets free Strange prior to disclosing a familiar phrase. This well-known quote harks back to the movie “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” where it was spoken in the scene where Professor X offers guidance to his younger self, a dialogue reminiscent of the X-Men film series.
