Marvel Comics Universe and Astonishing X-Men #12 Spoilers follows.

A Year Long Storyline Climaxes, But Is Professor Charles Xavier Dead Or Alive?

Through this year long arc it appeared that Professor Charles Xavier has returned to the land of the living, by having his mind take over the body of Fantomex who sacrificed himself for Professor X. This new character with Fantomex’s body and Charles Xavier’s mind was simply the man called X. Last issue, the Shadow King crawled out of X’s mind seemingly killing both body and mind of X. However, X is more powerful than we though and literally pulls himself back together. Professor Charles Xavier remains alive as X!

He fells the Shadow King and…

…shows Psylocke how to save the world by tapping into the power of all Earth’s psychics; X shows her how.

The Shadow King is defeated…

…and the Earth is saved.

As “gifts” to his X-Men, X bestows upon each a blessing of sorts and then makes them forget that Professor X is back except for…

…Psylocke who will remember and keep him honest.

X has a new path to follow and…

…and a new creative team and X-Men roster debuts next month.
