When Professor X begins to serve in Stephen ’s flight from The Illuminati headquarters , Mordo strongly disagree with him , but Professor X response '' Just because someone bumble , lose their way , it does n’t intend they ’re lost forever . '' This rail line works in reference to both Earth-616 Strange , as well as the Scarlet Witch . This is anMCU reference taken fromX - man : Days of Future Past ; erstwhile Charles says it to his younger ego about human intolerance for sport , and then younger Charles echo it to Hank when Hank refer that Raven ’s path may be a fix point in meter and she ca n’t be changed . This theme of hope penetrate multiple variation of Charles , even when this line of thinking can lead to his death , as is seen inMultiverse of Madness , which makes his eccentric ’s fates even more tragic .
It seems that Charles , in every existence , is characterized by his unyielding hopefulness , even though it has now head to his demise double . He enters the heave mind of the Scarlet Witch and attempts to coax Wanda out with guardianship and savvy , even though he has pace into a very dangerous and marred mind . He carried this hope with him , urgently want to assist Wanda , but it led toProfessor X ’s death . The parallel between Scarlet Witch and Dark Phoenix inX - Men : The Last Standmean that his death in that film , too , is made bad . Charles knew how powerful Dark Phoenix was and risked his life trying to aid her anyway , because he firmly believed that she '' was n’t lose forever and a day . '' He lost his life story in that instance , with his last words to Jean being Book of encouragement , '' Do n’t allow it control you . '' In the end , Jean come to and begged Wolverine to obliterate her so she could end the distress she was induce . Similarly , at the destruction ofMultiverse of Madness , Scarlet Witch ’s deathwas a effect of her sacrificing herself when she destroys the Darkholds that reside in every universe . In both spot , despite their tragic ending , Charles ' hopefulness has been right-hand ; both Jean and Wanda discover their way back .
The graphic symbol ’s permeable promise makes his death almost inevitable , as it seems that Charles will carry this hope through infinite universes even if it defeat him . His death at the hands of Dark Phoenix was tragic enough , but know that repeats of the same spot can happen across the multiverse makes it even more heartbreaking . Professor X ’s destruction inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , though tragical , only reinforce the character ’s unwavering respectable trust , which is prove right inDoctor Strange 2 ’s ending .
