The X-Men have fought since their very conception to keep the world safe from dangers of every kind. Mutants, demons, and even aliens have challenged the world’s premiere mutant superhero team. As such, the X-Men have always maintained themselves as a highly trained fighting force, more than capable of dealing with the worst threats imaginable. With such a robust and ever-changing roster of members, the single most important factor that keeps the X-Men operating smoothly as a functioning team is leadership. Every superhero team needs a leader; without a focal point to guide, aid, and command them, the world’s greatest team-ups would simply collapse under their own weight. This does beg the question, though, of whom the definitive leader of the X-Men truly is.
It may seem like an obvious choice to name Professor Charles Xavier as the leader of the X-Men. He has been the founder and original leader of the team since the very beginning, after all. However, over the years, Professor X has not always been in charge of his X-Men. There have been many times he hasn’t even been on Earth. In his stead, various members of the X-Men have stepped up and carried on his mission with conviction. There have even been times when the X-Men’s most dire foe has taken the mantle of leader. Though Professor X has always existed as the figurehead of the X-Men, it has been the actions of its most poignant members that have called into question who truly leads Marvel’s mutant fighting force.
His vision was one of hardship and endless strife, however, as most of the human world feared and hated mutantkind. Exasperating the X-Men’s hopes for peace were the evil mutants such as Magneto, who waged war against mankind in the name of mutant supremacy. Add in the garden variety of evil demons, rogue anti-mutant killer robots, and aliens, and it becomes easy to see why having such a strong-willed leader was essential for the fledgling team.
