One of the Most Powerful Mutants in the Marvel Universe

The first time Charles Xavier switched on the machine that finds mutants, it showed him a signal bigger than anything he would ever see again. It belonged to a young man called Matthew Malloy. Xavier did not recruit him or warn him. He went into Matthew's head and took the knowledge out of it — and then did it again, and again, for years, so the man would grow up ordinary and never find out. It worked, until Xavier died and the blocks came down. 0:00 The secret Xavier kept 0:44 Who Matthew Malloy was 1:24 The sister who wouldn't leave 1:57 A state is evacuated 3:07 The X-Men find out 3:49 The crater 4:27 I am your brother 4:52 Magneto's offer 5:50 It all comes apart 6:21 Going back 7:18 The cost 7:57 Nothing happened at all Comic: Uncanny X-Men #23 and #26-31 — written by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Chris Bachalo and Kris Anka.
