19 Facts About Cerebro

Cerebro is a fictional device appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Originally, Cerebro was a device similar to a computer that was built into a desk in Xavier's office.

The resulting entity, a self-aware form of Cerebro, created two minions, Cerebrites Alpha and Beta, through which it would act without exposing itself.

Cerebro's goal was to put human beings in stasis so that mutants could inherit the Earth, and to this end it hunted down a group of synthetic children called the Mannites who possessed vast psychic powers.

Later when a mutant nation was created on the Living Island Krakoa, Xavier reveals that when he approached Forge and asked him to expand the abilities of Cerebro, Forge was able to create a version of Cerebro that not only was capable of merely detecting mutant minds but creating a copy of each mutants' mind.
