The idea of Nightcrawler bamfing across the map was perfection. But the latest leaks have thrown us a curveball\u2014one that\u2019s powerful, iconic, and not quite what fans expected. According to two Marvel Rivals leak accounts, it seems the next X-Men member joining the roster could be none other than Professor Charles Xavier himself. The founder of the X-Men, a man with unmatched telepathic abilities, and an absolute icon in the Marvel Universe\u2026 but, let\u2019s be honest, not the name we were all guessing. While Wolverine and Storm were obvious choices to launch the X-Men presence in the game, the rumored addition of Xavier feels out of left field\u2014but it\u2019s one I\u2019m fully here for. Leaks suggest Professor X will take up the Strategist role, which makes a lot of sense given his telepathic abilities and unparalleled knack for coordination. He\u2019s the ultimate team player, capable of shielding allies and incapacitating enemies with nothing but the power of his mind. His telepathic prowess allows him to read and project thoughts, manipulate perceptions, create psychic shields, and even stun enemies. He\u2019s a one-man mental fortress\u2014a perfect fit for a game where strategy is key. The only catch? Xavier\u2019s not exactly known for his healing abilities. But Marvel Rivals isn\u2019t shy about bending canon to make gameplay shine. Xavier\u2019s psychic energy bolts could easily be reimagined as a way to heal allies. After all, who better to mend the mind and body than the world\u2019s most famous telepath with an M.D. in Psychiatry and several PhDs? While I\u2019m thrilled by the possibility of seeing Charles Xavier wheeling across the map in his motorized chair, using his immense psychic powers to turn the tide of battle, I\u2019m also a little nervous. Some have suggested that Marvel Rivals might have a walking Professor X in the game for \"simplicity,\" and while Marvel has toyed with versions of Professor X temporarily regaining the use of his legs in comics like New X-Men and House of M, that shouldn\u2019t be the default for every depiction of him. Video games have a long history of skimming past authentic disability representation. There are instances of characters who are disabled and then \"fixed\" or \"cured\" during a game; their disabilities are erased for the sake of convenience or story. And yet, there\u2019s so much power in seeing a disabled hero remain disabled while saving the day. Xavier is brilliant, compassionate, and undeniably one of the strongest characters in the Marvel Universe\u2014not in spite of his disability, but alongside it. We need more characters like this in gaming. Disabled players deserve to see themselves represented in games, not just as NPCs or background figures, but as central, powerful forces. A wheelchair-bound Xavier in Marvel Rivals could set a beautiful example, reinforcing that strength and capability come in many forms. Though Xavier might not have been the fan-favorite pick for the next X-Men character (sorry, Nightcrawler fans), his iconic powers, and the opportunity for meaningful representation make him a great choice. While players like myself are still dreaming of seeing Nightcrawler teleporting through the battlefield one day, let\u2019s take a moment to appreciate what Xavier could bring to the table. Marvel Rivals might just give us the mind-blowing Strategist we didn\u2019t know we needed\u2014complete with a motorized chair, psychic shields, and an undeniable message about the power of diversity in gaming.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marvel-rivals-chronoverse-saga-season-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494305"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2850"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1494305"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1494376,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1494305\/revisions\/1494376"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1492581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1494305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1494305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1494305"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1494305"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1494305"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1494305"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1494305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
