Dying, he asks Magneto to look after the X-Men. Lilandra who has a psychic connection with Xavier feels something happen to him. There, she takes Xavier with her back to her empire so their technology can heal him. Magneto takes over, but some of the X-Men are unwilling to cooperate with him, seeing as he was a former enemy. The original X-Men form their team, X-Factor. During the Inferno storyline the school is destroyed and leaves with the new mutants who feel he has gone back to his old days as a terrorist.

X-Cutioner’s Song
While holding a mutant rights speech, Xavier is nearly assassinated by Stryfe
in the guise of Cable, being infected with a fatal techno-organic virus. For reasons of his own, the villain Apocalypse saves him. As a temporary side-effect he gains full use of his legs and devotes his precious time to the youngest recruit on his team, Jubilee.Generation X
With all his students now highly trained adults, Professor Xavier renames his school the Xavier Institute For Higher Learning. Also, he assumes control of a private institution, the Massachusetts Academy, making it a new School for Gifted Youngsters. Another group of young mutants is trained here, Generation X, with Banshee and Emma Frost as headmaster and headmistress, respectively.
Onslaught
Magneto War
The Twelve
Apocalypse kidnaps the fabled "Twelve," special mutants whose combined energies would grant him omnipotence. After Apocalypse's defeat with the help of Skrull mutants, Xavier goes with the young Skrulls, known as Cadre K, to train them and free them from their oppressors, and eventually returns to aid in Legacy Virus research.
Moira's Death
Mystique and the Brotherhood start a deadly assault on Muir Isle by releasing an altered form of the Legacy Virus, all in retaliation against the election campaign of Robert Kelly. Mystique blows up Moira MacTaggert's laboratory complex, fatally wounding her. Charles goes to the astral plane to meet with her and retrieve information on the cure to the Legacy Virus, but after gathering the information does not want to leave her alone. If not for Jean pulling him back, the professor would have died with his first love, who states she has no regrets.
Dream's End
As the Legacy Virus is cured, many infected Genoshan mutants recover overnight, providing Magneto, current ruler of Genosha, with an army to start the third World War. Magneto demands Earth's governments to accept him as their leader, and abducts and crucifies Xavier in Magda Square for all to see. Though a loyal member of Magneto's Acolytes, Amelia Voght can't stand to see her former lover punished in such a manner and sets him free. Jean Grey and rather untrained newcomers, as most of the team are elsewhere, distract Magneto and Wolverine guts him. Xavier is too late to intervene.
When the X-Men receive a distress call from a Scottish island, they are surprised to find Juggernaut with nowhere to go, as the island was destroyed by his further-mutated partner in crime, Black Tom Cassidy, who died. Xavier reaches out to his stepbrother and offers him a place in his mansion, with Cain reluctantly accepting. The Juggernaut redeems himself over the next few weeks and joins the X-Men. Xavier finds out that Cain's father preferred him to his own flesh and blood and that they both thought they deserved the abuse they incurred by Kurt; Cain believed this because his father loved someone else's child more than him, and Charles felt guilty about getting in the way. That it is why neither of them stopped Kurt Marko with their powers.
X-Corporation
Now publicly known as a mutant, Xavier makes speeches to the public about mutant tolerance. He also founds the X-Corporation with offices all over the world. The purpose of the X-Corp is to watch over mutant rights and help mutants in need. As a result of being outed, the school no longer hides the fact that it is a school for mutants and it opens its doors for more mutant and even human students to come in.
Riot At Xavier’s
A student named Quentin Quire and members of his gang start a riot at the Xavier Institute during an open house at the school. As a result, Quire and two other students are killed.

However, her brother Quicksilver believes they are planning to kill her and convinces her that she can right her wrongs. There, she creates an alternate reality where mutants are the majority where Magneto is the ruler. Xavier is believed to be dead on Genosha years ago. A mutant named Layla Miller restores some of X-Men's and Avengers' memories and they head to Genosha to discover that Magneto has erected a memorial for Xavier where his grave is. Cloak goes through the grave to find that a body isn't even there. Scarlet Witch then alters the reality once again where she causes most mutants to be on the verge of being extinct and losing their powers. The powers are collected into a massive energy ball called The Collective (who was recently Xorn).
Deadly Genesis
In the Deadly Genesis (X-Men: Deadly Genesis) series that before Xavier sent a team to rescue the X-Men on Krakoa he had sent another team from Moira and one of the students was Vulcan who was a brother of Cyclops. It was traumatizing for Cyclops knowing that he had a new found brother to be kill after their brief meeting in order to save Cyclops's life, so Xavier wiped his memory of Vulcan and then assembled a new team, without the knowledge of Moira's team revealed to anyone else. The Collective revives Vulcan and the youth attacks the X-Men causing Xavier to come out of hiding. His legs had been restored after the House of M events and he was no longer a mutant. Vulcan forces Xavier to tell what he had done to Cyclops. Cyclops is angered by this and is ostracized by him, but some of the students are more forgiving. Xavier still forms a new team to battle Vulcan and take revenge on the Shi'ar Empire. While on the way, he is kidnapped by Chancellor K'Tor, who is the Shi'ar Vice Chancellor. Charles was then transported inside the M'Kraan Crystal by Vulcan, where his mutant powers were restored. He was later saved by Darwin. both of them, together with Warpath, Nightcrawler, and Hepzibah all escaped back to earth, with the help of Lilandra, leaving Havok, Marvel Girl and Polaris to form the new incarnation of the Starjammers with his father's old crew, after Corsair was killed by Vulcan.

Magneto and Omega Sentinel are able to stir out Xavier's memories, coaxing him out of his coma, but slightly confused and partly amnesiac. Later, as Exodus confronts Magneto about Joanna Cargill's fate, and he is about to kill him, Xavier drags him on the Astral Plane, putting his own restored mind at stake. After a harrowing psionic battle between the two, Xavier defeats Exodus, who reveals to him that the reason he abducted and restored his mind is that he wanted Xavier to lead the Acolytes and find the mutant messiah child in order to indoctrinate her into their cause. Xavier, disgusted with Exodus' words, calls him a fool and refuses to help him. During the battle between him and Exodus, Emma's telepathy picks up on the fight, she realizes that Xavier is alive and tells Cyclops.

Xavier is seen to struggle with his dark side and seems to have been with him since his creation in the womb where he kills his sister Cassandra Nova. He also struggles with Onslaught, a part of his evil alter ego. As Xavier believes in peace at all costs without the means of violence, Onslaught brings out the worst in Xavier.
