Powers
Telepathy
Xavier is able to read minds and project his own thoughts into the minds of others within a radius of 250 miles (on Earth). With extreme effort he can greatly extend that radius. When synced with Cerebro, he can connect to every mind on a planet.
Telepathic Illusions
Charles has the ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.
Telepathic Cloak
He can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities could at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well.
Mind Link: He has the ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual.
Telepathic Camouflage
Charles is capable of masking his and/or other peoples' presence from those around him. He can telepathically disguise himself, making his appearance to those around him quite different (changing the appearance of clothing, as well as more involved disguising).
Mind Blast
He has the ability to place large amounts of information in another's mind.
Mind Control
Xavier possesses the power to control the minds of others upon mere concentration. This power could allow him to completely shut down several people's minds, making it appear as if time has stopped.
Mind Possession
Xavier can possess the mind of another and use that being's body as his own.
Mind Alteration
He has the ability to alter the minds of others by force of will.
Mental Amnesia
Charles can cause loss of particular memories or total amnesia in another person or a group of people, including his own.
Mental Shield
He has the ability to erect a psychic barrier for protection of himself and of other minds, so that he could prevent the free access to the conscious and subconscious mind of anyone.
Mental Detection
He can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of himself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
Telepathic Learning
He is also able to telepathically teach information to other individuals.
Astral Projection
Charles can use astral travel and communicate with others astrally through his own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others. In the astral realm, he could use his powers to create "ectoplasmic" objects. He could not engage in long range astral projection on the earthly plane.
