Must See Episodes[]

Personality[]

Kurt's fun-loving nature can sometimes get him into trouble. For example, while playing around with a machine he discovered in an abandoned lab, he was caught in the "Middleverse" created by a student named Forge, who was himself trapped in this pocket dimension. Kurt's power came in handy here, as his teleportation allowed him to ghost back into the real world and alert the team, who eventually rescued both boys. Another time, Kurt (and Kitty) piggybacked on the X-Jet when Wolverine took it to Canada and ended up in the middle of a big fight between him and Sabretooth, and against the head of the Weapon X project.

Physical appearance[]

Nightcrawler's physical mutation includes blue colored fur covering his body, two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, yellowish-white eyes, pointed ears, fang-like canine teeth, and a prehensile tail. These features give him a demonic appearance.

While wearing his image-inducer, Kurt's appearance changes to that of a light-skinned unmutated human version of his actual appearance. He has blue-ish black hair with dark eyes.

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Mutant Physiology: Kurt's mutant physiology grants him advanced agility, reflexes, balance, the ability to cling to solid surfaces and a prehensile tail he can use to grasp and handle objects. His tail is strong enough to support his own weight when he stands on it.
    • Teleportation: His mutation also grants him the primary power to teleport through inter-dimensional phase-shifting, vanishing from our dimension into another for a fraction of a second, then reappearing instantaneously within our dimension in any predetermined space within a limited, two-mile range. When Kurt teleports, he leaves behind black smoke and a smell of brimstone, which is the atmosphere originating from the alternate dimension he phases into. Kurt can teleport himself as well as other people and objects. He has teleported as many as 3 people and a moving car. The only other limitation of his teleporting ability is that he has to be able to see or know where he is going, otherwise he risks reappearing inside a solid surface. Kurt seems to possess a limited spatial awareness that helps him avoid reappearing within solid constructs as long as he knows where he's going.

Notes[]

  • Production Art - Kurt Wagner
  • Concept Art for Kurt
  • Kurt has a two mile limit of teleporting.
  • The holographic watch that helps Kurt look human is original to this universe.[1] Although the image-inducer exists in the original comic book continuity, it is not worn as a watch.
    • The extent of Kurt's holographic image-inducer varies. Sometimes it is presented as completely changing his appearance, clothing and all, with his X-Men uniform being worn at all times while casual clothing is projected onto his human disguise. Other times, the image-inducer only changes his bare appearance and not his clothes.
    • Due to the true nature of his hands, Kurt's fingers when in disguise are visibly joined two at a time on each end whenever in focus.
  • Scott mouths 'Fuzzy Elf' after Kitty says it to Kurt when they are on the X-Jet. [2]

  • Kurt uses his teleportation to set the table when everyone rushes for breakfast in Dark Horizon I. [12]
  • Kurt's worse nightmare is that he gets teleported to unknown and dangerous dimensions. [13].
  • Charles Xavier saw The Future where Kurt is still a member of X-Men. [14]
