Charles Xavier's
What If...
![]()
For years the Watcher has brought stories of alternate realities and What If tales to the public, stories of alternative outcomes. Now I, the X-Men's Charles Xavier, bring my own What If stories to you, the reading public.
Using my mutant powers to delve deep into the minds of heroes and villains alike, I examine their deepest worries, wants, fears, desires, and fantasies.
These are stories of what the patient, say Spider-Man, thinks could have happened, or could happen.
For example, What If Peter had revealed he was Spider-Man to his Aunt May from the very beginning?
Years have passed now, and over time Peter has regretted and be glad that he hadn't revealed his true identity.
So now I, Charles Xavier, will show Peter Parker, and you the reader,
What if Peter Parker had revealed he was Spider-Man to his Aunt May?
I remind you, these are not stories from another world or dimension. These are stories created by the minds, the psyches, of these heroes or villains themselves. Is this what would have happened? I cannot say, but I can tell you that this is why Peter never revealed his true identity to his Aunt.I am working on this, the idea I was posting here was that Xavier hosting his own What If stories.
Peter reveals he is Spider-Man to his Aunt one day when he doesn't feel like lying to her about where he has been. Aunt May is so shocked and upset that she throws Peter out. She immediately calls her neighbor Emma Watson, and continues to work herself up over Peter's revelation. So riled up that she has a heart attack. Emma races over. Peter arrives just as the ambulance and the doctors are taking Aunt May out. When Peter asks what happened Emma reveals that Peter did this to her, and that he is Spider-Man. Peter runs as word spreads that he is Spider-Man and is responsible for an old woman being in the hospital. While Jameson spreads the word, Captain Stacey sends the entire NYPD after Spider-Man. While Peter is on the run Aunt May dies in the hospital. Peter's only ally during the whole thing turns out to be Flash Thompson, who hides him for a short time before Peter runs off. And the one person Peter thought he could count on, his on again off again girl friend Betty Brant, shuts the door on him forever. Peter is New York's most wanted, everyone is after him. He can't even see his Aunt to see if she is ok, or go to her funeral. Jameson even rigs it so that Spider-Man's top enemies release to capture him. In the end Peter becomes cornered, and there is no way out. Peter must fight. He battles the Sinister Six, and the NYPD.
(Because Xavier is reading their minds, perhaps he can intervien. Reveal to the patient what the reality of the situation would have been or would be. Or help them face their fears and come out stronger than ever.)(These shouldn't just be showing peoples hopes and worries. It should be an entertaining story as well.)
I have shown you a scenario created by Peter Parker's own mind, and now I must leave you. But I will return to show you the thoughts and fears of other Marvel heroes and villains such as Bulleye, Galactus, Cyclops, Hank McCoy, Magneto, Maria Hill, Susan Storm, and others.
