Professor Charles Xavier (X-Men)
Professor X is paraplegic. This means that he can not move from his waist down. His disability is portrayed in the X-Men films very accurately as through out he is confined to his wheelchair. His character is represented well and treated very fairly as he is seen as the idol for all the young mutants in his school and receives no discrimination.
Professor X is an example of the super cripple stereotype as he is in X-Men considered to be one of the wolrd's most powerful telepaths. Also the stereotype of an atmosphere creator fits as when he appears in the film the audience knows something important is about to go down.
