There you have it. Xavier was ashamed of mutants? Wolverine had to threaten him to start the X-Men? How does Wolverine even know how Xavier's powers work?
Yes, Xavier originally denied he was a mutant in public, but that was so he could use his reputation as an esteemed scholar and well-to-do member of society to help mutants in secret. But his dream was always to help Mutantkind live alongside humanity in peace. He's the Martin Luther King Jr. to Magneto's Malcolm X. He would be proud of being a mutant, not a hater.
It's all a grand scheme to make Wolverine more important than he ever needed to be.
Oh and yes, they made up a redheaded psychic to help Wolverine out for this story. Originality my buttocks.

OH. Just saw this quote too, while finding facts:
Lowe continued, "One of the coolest thing this series does is it gives a palpable reason for why mutants are hated and feared, why the world has such a strong reaction to their appearance as opposed to other superheroes."
WHAT?! "...it gives a palpable reason for why mutants are hated and feared..." EXCUSE ME?! We really need to spell that out in black and white, give them a "9-11 Ground Zero" event? Mutants are humans with powers. Humans are always suspicious of other humans with weapons or secrets, so sure powers would be a threat too. The first movie illustrated this just fine, can we trust a child who can walk through walls? What if a criminal had Xavier's powers? Or just some sick jerk with fire-blasting powers? Sure, I often side with mutants, but there's obvious reasons to fear them. Or the whole appearance thing, for mutants like Nightcrawler or Mystique, which can be obvious metaphors for prejudices based on skin color which humans have been doing since the dawn of time. Without specific events to provoke them. I don't need some specific event to make it obvious why humans should fear mutants in the Marvel world.
So. Dumb.
