Reminder that Xavier tried to recruit toad, rogue, blob, boom-boom, and avalanche, although only Rogue came around, the rest of them were scared off because of mystique or autistic spaghetti dropping, and Boom-boom stayed on the fence.
Inversely, one of the big things the morlocks hate the x-men for in the comics is that Xavier clearly only recruits weaponizable powers or mutants who can pass for human, and the rest of them get abandoned.
