I think it was when the House of X storyline started a few months ago, and he does act a lot like a villain in the series. I think the series is more of a "What if Professor X allied with Magneto and was bad" type of story.

And he will act like one before another Xavier appears, they fight, it will look like this one will win but he is defeated in the end.

That design reminds me of the Ultimate universe Reed Richards, when he became the Super villain The Maker.

I have no idea if there are multiples in the 616 universe but yea, technically there are many Xaviers. and many of every other character, due to the multiverse.

How does all this work, anyway? I don't really understand western comic continuity.

For one thing, why is it that in the west they just kept using the same characters forever and rebooting them? Where did that practice begin?

How do fans that know both the old stories and the new ones feel about this practice?

I think Xavier is still currently in Fantomex's body which he got after returning from the dead (killed by Cyclops during AvX).

Generally the way it works is comics maintain one ongoing continuity but occasionally have major "events" that cause continuity to reset or otherwise change. Sometimes that means old stories never happened, and sometimes it means they technically happened but they don't get retold. Some characters with specific background may be de-aged or otherwise moved forward in time, while others maintain a "sliding time scale" where the specific date doesn't really matter. Stories that aren't connected to continuity are either "elseworlds" which are designed to be stand alone stories, or from alternative universes that may or may not one day connect to the main universe.

Early comics didn't worry about continuity... they just told stories. Real continuity didn't really become a thing until the 60s / 70s and the while it may not have been the first "reboot", a lot of what defines a comic reboot goes back to "Crisis on Infinite Earths" which was the mid 80s.

Comic fans are generally split on reboots. It lets writers tell interesting stories without being chained to 70 years of history, but it also means consequences rarely "stick."

I immediately suspect that person of being Cassandra Nova in disguise. Doubly so because they're hiring their face. And it wouldn't be the first time Cassie put on Charles face and started fucking everything up.

I guess what I'm asking is, how many times can Batman or Professor X grow and change as a character based on their backstory and original conditions?

My favorite comic book/manga is Steel Ball Run. I love the setting and style and characters, but part of that is that the arcs of Johnny Joestar and Funny Valentine are complete. There's nothing more to tell about Johnny without invalidating his previous development.
