"they can do pretty much anything when they work together"
THIS.
I understand why Marvel doesn't put them too often in the same team - they're one of the BAMFest people in the X-world and their powers, combined, would be a tremendous force.
Still, I'm surprised that there's no story (at least none I'm aware of) where Charles and Erik work together against some cosmic villain/force/entity. It's even stranger when we thought that both Xavier and Erik know that they can combine their powers (or use one power to amplify the other): Erik can strenghten Xavier's mind powers (since brainwaves are also electromagnetic) and Xavier could help Erik with gathering as much magnetic energy as possible (for example, saving Kitty wouldn't be so enormously exhausting for Erik if he had someone guiding him, anchoring him, helping him in his "trance").
