Stan Lee probably only went with calling him ex-avier because some Americans wouldn't understand - "Duh! Why does his name begin with an ex but it's pronounced as if it was a zee? That's stoopid!" But it is "zavier", usually.

Oh, and by the way: **** off yourself. Don't you have burgers to flip?
I'm confused. Do you actually think "Xavier" isn't pronounced with an "e" at the beginning?

Find a cliff and masturbate on the edge.
