May I please ask if you think it more accurate to describe Professor X as a Philanthropist rather than an Activist? (I was looking over some of your thoughts on good old Charles Francis and his X-Men when this question struck me, most particularly your opinion that these Children of the Atom tend to engage in a fairly rarified form of political discourse).

Yeah, that sounds fair. Maybe a cross between a philanthropist and an academic, since Xavier focuses on debate and private education.

I will say that the new mini-series X-Men Grand Design does a somewhat better job of giving the early X-Men a political context.
