This thread is so weird. The thing most people are latching on to as being unrealistic is Professor X being wildly successful at 24, not Professor X BEING A MUTANT PSYCHIC who can manipulate people into doing anything he wants. Like someone said upthread, he's successful because he's a mutant. It's very, very, VERY rare for a normal human 24-year-old to do all of that, but someone who ISN'T a normal human and can manipulate people at will? Yeah, he'd probably have half a country eating out of his palm by that age.

"Realistic" is relative the rest of the world in the story.

I think OP means in general, not just specifically Professor X. I've also read AU XMFC fic where Charles is non-powered, but still that young and successful.

Generalization aside, Xavier is one of the few mutants who wouldn't misuse his powers to manipulate his way through school and into jobs. He'd do all the real hard work of getting those positions all himself, not through manipulation.

Add to that the fact that his family was filthy rich before he was born.

Seriously, with as many cards in his game, he would have to be a considerable moron to not be somewhat more successful than common people...
