It's weird--for Trek, I shifted series to TOS, but I didn't have an inherit change in my favorite character, though I definitely like Jim more now. Considering my fic leanings (its' not like you can't guess those) and my faint dislike of Xavier, I went in leaning Erik and came out so pro-Charles it's kind of insane. And pro-Erik, obviously, but Charles enchants me. He uses his power and he's not afraid of it and he doesn't hobble himself in the use. New. World. Order.
And yes, this Charles is scarier. Professor Xavier was the X-Men leader but not team leader and I always assumed I was reading it due to his wheelchair, but it's the personality difference; this Charles doesn't need to walk to be their leader in ideology and in combat.
