One day in the past events of the Logan tangent universe, Professor Charles Xavier had an incident.
According to news reports after Professor Xavier’s episode in Oklahoma City, the Westchester Incident left 600 people injured, meaning that this event was probably a wide spanning occurrence.
An episode that caused his mutant powers to become unstable, which in turn releases a huge, sustained wave of psionic energy.
This energy, as we see in Logan, suspends everyone and everything in an immediate radius of the Professor, causing the inability to move or even breathe, as well as what looks like an intense headache.
