I went on to finish watching the you-tube video we saw in class on the epic history of the X-men, and the part that caught my attention was the idea that Professor X often lied or withheld information from the team in order to further a cause which he felt was important. For example there is a point where he sends a newer, younger team to save the x-men after they were captured by an unknown being on a island. They die in the process and the professor recruits a more mature powerful team on the same mission. After they are rescued the professor does not inform the team of their actions and the young-lings seem to have perished in vain. Another example was when the professor manipulates the training system for the x-men, when it was actually a robotic mutant that was trapped and powered the system. But the mutant finally breaks free and the professor is exposed to the x-men. Professor X explains that he took certain risks to further a bigger cause. The professor resembles Magneto in this situation because I feel that he too, does unrighteous things to obtain an objective. As long as he personally believes that his goal is the best resolution then he is right. The two may be similar in this sense.
