Professor X loves Jean Grey

I read on a forum that Professor X confessed that he was in love with Jean Grey in Ultimate X-men.

In issue 3 of the original X-men series, Charles also confessed to this in an inner monologue. Did this original subplot go anywhere or was it dropped because of its creepiness?

But then in the 60s, what were the laws about it? If mutants are another species, does it apply to them?

I know this happened...I can't remember any issue numbers but yea the professor was in love with her. It came up once way back when, but I have an issue with cyclops and jean kissing on the cover on their wedding day. Inside at some point Jean is thanking the professor for acting as her dad and he has this inner monologue about how hard it is to mask his feelings.

It was also a big issue during the whole Onslaught mess. Before we knew who Onslaught was, Onslaught met with Jean in the astral plane and he showed what the professor thought of her when he first met her. I can't remember the exact issue but I'll try to find it.

actually its been a hinted at for years that the prof has always been in love with jean on some level and just never acted on it. however thats why I was freaking out when he actually said it in the ultimate universe. However I guess thats just one of the many differences along with Colossus being gay, witch is fine with me. anyway i would love to see a reality were professor x and jean Grey were the marvel couple and not Scott and Jean

I think it was dropped. I remember reading it in the ultimate series and they haven't done anything about it since.

pretty gross considering he has known and mentored her since she was a kid.

There was an issue shortly before the Scott/Jean wedding (which took place shortly after the Prof turned Magneto into an invalid) in which a portion of Magneto within Xavier's mind interrogates him in regard to why he can't be happy over the wedding. Xavier confesses that Jean reminds him of Amelia Voght, a woman who left him out of her concern that Xavier and Magneto would eventually go to blows over their respective philosophies. Xavier, much to his own guilt, actually tried to change Amelia's mind.

This, among other problems, leads to Onslaught.

No idea why people insult Xavier and use terms like Pervy to insult the guy, when he kept his feeling back because he regonized it was inappropriate since he was the leader of the X-men (plus some weird insecurity about being unable to provide love while being unable to walk, seems like Lilandra helped him get over that).

Prof X is a seriously moral guy, he has the ability to mentally subjugate people and doesn't do it. That's more than the vast majority of the Marvel Universe (or any of us) can say they've been tested with.

Not sure why falling in love with Jean Gray is some kinda moral sin, people seem to forgive Wolverine for it.
