When we first meet Charles Xavier this time around, he’s in the middle of class, reading a passage from T. H. White’s “The Once and Future King” – a book that should be memorable for any fan of the films. Not only is Magneto seen reading it in The second of Bryan Singer’s mutant blockbusters, but it’s mentioned in another lesson by Xavier in the same movie. For those unfamiliar, the title hails from the (alleged) headstone marking the grave of King Arthur. In the comics, it’s claimed to be Xavier’s favorite books, although he has always viewed himself as Merlin, not Arthur (he trains and mentors the heroes). We can’t help but think that Magneto would see his own quest for power reflected in the Star of the piece.
