WARNING: The following article contains major spoilers for House of X#1 by Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Larraz, Marte Gracia, VC's Clayton Cowles and Tom Muller, on sale now.

Charles Xavier has always had a dream of humans and mutants living together in harmony. That's why he brought together Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel and Beast as the X-Men. Of course, there have been obstacles along the way to achieving peace between Homo Sapiens and Homo Superiors, including Charles' own death at the hands of Cyclops in 2012's Avengers vs. X-Men.

Professor X made a startling return in the fourth volume of Astonishing X-Men after being held a prisoner of the Shadow King in the astral plane. However, the Charles Xavier who returned was different than the one who perished during the superhero conflict. In order for Charles to escape the astral plane, someone else had to take his place. Fantomex ultimately decided to sacrifice himself, allowing Charles' consciousness to enter Fantomex's body. Now calling himself "X," Charles has kept a relatively low profile, except for a brief reunion with his first class of X-Men.

That came to an end with the launch of House of X by Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz. Not only is Charles Xavier officially back in the spotlight, but he's brought friends and enemies with him. The debut issue of Hickman's dueling X-Men miniseries -- the other title, Powers of X, debuts this week -- dedicates its first page to an Xavier quote: "Humans of the planet Earth. While you slept, the world changed." As we quickly find out, it's a whole new world for mutants, and we have Charles Xavier to thank for that.

Instead of making the mansion the X-Men's base of operations, Charles Xavier has turned the mutant island Krakoa into a new nation-state. The X-Men are also able to travel through Krakoa via habitats and gateways. Not only that, but Charles lets the world know his master plan by sending out a telepathic message: three new designer drugs created from the flowers of Krakoa, but only for countries that recognize the nation-state.

This is one of the first times a mutant leader has brought something to the table that humans actually need. Human Drug L is a Krakoan flower that extends the life of a human for five years; the flower for Human Drug I produces an adaptive, universal antibiotic; and Human Drug M's flower produces a drug that cures diseases of the mind.

Although he maintains a relatively low profile in House of X, Charles has seemingly changed his tune when it comes to a harmonious relationship between mutants and humans. Gone is the thought of both species living together, with the X-Men founder preferring isolation. We typically see Magneto display that belief in examples ranging from his space station Asteroid M to the nation of Genosha. Now, Charles has Magneto following him, probably because the two former best friends are finally seeing eye-to-eye.

The big question coming out of Charles' plan is, can he really be trusted? His resurrection in Astonishing X-Men already left his loyalties on shaky ground, and when you add in his behavior in House of X #1, there is no way you can come away confident that everything is as it appears to be. The Krakoan drugs may cure all of humanity's ailments, but what are the long-term ramifications? And who helped Charles create the drugs? He is one of the most powerful telepaths in the Marvel Universe, but that doesn't make him a chemist.

We should start to get some answers in Powers of X #1, as the story jumps ahead 100 years to reveal how successful Xavier's master plan really is.
