Sharon Xavier was an American woman. Sharon was the wife of nuclear physicist Brian Xavier and mother of Charles Xavier, the future Professor X, founder of the X-Men. Brian was killed in an atomic-bomb test at Alamogordo, New Mexico when Xavier was a boy.[note 1] Afterwards, the vulnerable Sharon grew close to Brian's colleague Kurt Marko, and the two got married months after Brian's death. Kurt's cruel, troubled son Cain also moved in. It soon became clear that Kurt had only married into the family to claim the wealth that Brian had earned, and the heartbroken Sharon soon passed away.[1]

Notes

  1. These details strongly suggest the Trinity nuclear test in 1945.
