Charles Xavier (Earth-5679)

"This ability to travel through time revealed the truth. My fate was to become your greatest enemy. I was never going to be The Flash. So I became the reverse of everything that you were. The more people you saved, the more you were loved…the more I had to take from you."

Professor Charles Xavier was the CEO of S.T.A.R. Labs and one of the world's most renewed figures on physics until the scandal of the Big Bang Incident, caused by his company's particle accelerator in a supposed accident, which not only ruined his academic career, but also rendered him paraplegic. It was actually Charles who experimented with the accelator, seeking to find a way to revive his wife, a ideal he found when he discovered the time traveling properties of Virgil Hawkins' powers as the Flash, a result of the Big Bang. Approaching Virgil's life as a mentor figure alongside Whitney Frost and Richie Folley, Charles ultimately discovered he also gained powers similar of that of Hawkins', and using the identity of Zoom sought to return in time and space to save his wife.
