Xavier's missing hand bothered me in the past, because if a hand couldn't grow back Duncan would be scarred to hell. My headcannon is that it takes 20 years to grow the hand of a 20 year old man, or even 5 years at an accelerated healing rate and Xavier had a little silly baby hand beneath his claw.
