#charles xavier has asthma

[uniquecellest]

Hear me out: Charles did sports in high school in the comics so imagine that man being able to be a pro athlete. Olympic level and such but he has really bad asthma too. Sometimes it comes hours after training/competition and others it just randomly happens. And it confuses people how this pro-Olympic athlete has severe asthma and no one knows what triggers it at all

As some of you might know, one of the badges you can win during the Marvel Disability Celebration is the We Love Canon Badge. In order to do so, your creation must contain a canonically disabled character which you then represent in your work.

So to spark some inspiration, here is a list of Marvel characters (along with a little background and their disability).

James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War-Machine: Paraplegia. He suffered a spinal injury in Captain America: Civil War leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. He uses leg braces to walk.

Charles Xavier/Professor X: Paraplegia. Professor X is a wheelchair user. He appears as such in both the X-Men comics and movies. Depending on the universe, his legs are either crushed?? or he has a spinal cord injury from a stray bullet during X-Men: First Class.

Matt Murdock/Daredevil: Visual impairment. Matt Murdock is blind - an injury he suffered by radioactive materials when he was a child. He deals with depression in the comics. He appears in various adaptations of the comics such as f.e. the Netflix show ‘Daredevil’.

James “Bucky” Barnes/The Winter Soldier: Amputee. He is portrayed as such in some of the comics, animated series, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has a prosthetic arm. In TFATWS he is in therapy.

Mercedes “Misty” Knight: Amputee. An explosion left her without a limb. Similar to the Winter Soldier, Misty has a bionic arm.

Steve Rogers/Captain America: Before Steve Rogers got the super soldier serum, he had various disabilities which differ according to various sources. Including rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, asthma, bone deformity/scoliosis, anaemia, heart trouble, colour blindness, partial deafness, having a limp due to polio.

Clint Barton/Hawkeye: Hearing impairment. In the comics (at least a portion of them), Clint is deaf. He uses hearing aid and sign language. Depending on the run, he lost his hearing because of a sonic arrow or had his eardrums destroyed.

Jubilation “Jubilee” Lee: In Wolverine #62 it was revealed that she has dyscalculia.

Eddie McDonough/Hornet: Eddie has Cerebral Palsy.

Maya Lopez/Echo: Hearing impairment.

Wade Wilson/Deadpool: Chronic pain. Terminally ill with cancer, he underwent an experimental treatment which caused physical deformities and chronic pain.

Dr. Steven Strange: After a car accident he’s left with permanent nerve damage in both of his arms.

Thor: Visual impairment. During the events of the movie Thor: Ragnarok he lost his right eye. In comics he’s implied to walk with a cane and have a prosthetic arm.

Nebula: She has all kinds of physical mutilations caused by her adoptive father - Thanos, as well as body parts replaced by mechanical ones.

Nick Fury: Visual impairment. He was scratched by Goose and lost sight in one eye. He wears an eye patch.

Jessica Jones: PTSD, depression, and alcoholism.

Peggy Carter: In Captain America: The Winter Soldier she is presented with Alzheimer’s disease.

Tony Stark/Iron-Man: He has a heart condition developed through the events of the first Iron Man movie. In comics he also deals with alcoholism.

Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic: Autism.

Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel: In the MCU Carol has memory loss throughout the Captain Marvel movie. In the comics she as well as Tony deals with alcoholism.

Marc Spector/Moon Knight: Dissociative identity disorder.

Ava Starr/Ghost: Chronic pain. Due to a quantum accident she suffered at a young age, the molecules in her body appear to be unstable, putting her through a constant battle with chronic pain.

Odin: Visual impairment. He has one eye.

While it is likely that several characters have mental illnesses, such as PTSD, based on symptoms they are shown to have, we couldn’t always find an official canon diagnosis of such and decided to exclude it from our list. If any of the information is incorrect or we are missing a character, please let us know!

I've come to appreciate how much of Marvel's hero roster is made of characters with chronic illnesses or disabilities. Hawkeye is partially deaf Silhouette is paraplegic Daredevil is visually impaired The Winter Soldier is an amputee Doctor Strange has limited mobility in his hands Iron Man has heart problems Captain America has asthma Charles Xavier is paraplegic Thor was originally written as needing a mobility aid Echo (from Daredevil comics) is deaf Deadpool has cancer Cyclops is visually impaired Jubilee has discalculia Misty Knight is an amputee Nick Fury is visually impaired Stick (who I'm not sure counts as a hero) is visually impaired That's not even a full list. I've always been invested in seeing comics and books that represent everyone, and seeing how many popular heroes represent the disabled community makes me happy.
