| − | == '''Biography''' ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === '''Childhood''' ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Kurt was left with the Szardos clan as an infant - his mother, the shapeshifter Mystique, gave birth to him in the guise of a homeless young woman and vanished shortly afterwards, naming the blue infant 'Kurt Wagner' before she did. He had a mostly happy childhood growing up among the Szardos clan, and as a performer in their circus as soon as he was old enough - his physical agility and talent for acrobatics, given by his physical mutations, made him a natural. He became known as "The Amazing Nightcrawler" for his ability as an acrobat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | There were tensions outside the immediate family brought on by Margali's adoption of him, and he has always felt a little set apart by his physical differences and the fact of his adoption, but these were minor issues and he was loved by most of the clan.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === '''Living At The X-Mansion''' ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kurt was quickly accepted into the X-Men as a trainee after the incident with [[X2| Stryker]], when he chose to remain at the mansion rather than going back to the clan, and was raised to full membership sometime afterward. He has been a team member ever since, and has seemed to be happy and fulfilled in this.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, the events on [[Thermopylae| Youra]] and subsequently, especially the events of [[Bleeding]], contributed to a building pressure on Kurt, much of it self-inflicted. Another factor in this was his discovery that Mystique was his birth mother, which came about when [[Moira]] made a simple keying error in running his standard physical.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Things came to a head with [[X-Men Mission: Alcatraz]], where Kurt snapped and almost killed the terrorist he was meant to be securing after [[Rogue]] and [[Wolverine]] were badly hurt partly due to his freezing up at a critical moment. This led him to leave the mansion in search of [[Mystique]] and the answers only she could give him ([[Mommy Dearest Redux]]). When the X-Men realized where he was, a team was sent to his "rescue", only to see him help Mystique escape before returning to be taken back to the mansion.

| − | '''Other Features''': A great deal of self-inflicted scarification all over his body, in patterns. One straight scar on his face, inflicted by [[Marius Laverne]] during [[Bleeding]]. A pointed tail and blue skin. Only two digits on each hand and foot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == '''Powers''' ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kurt's primary power is teleportation - his particular method involves split-second travel through another dimension to arrive at another point in this one. The side effect of this is clouds of blue sulphurous smoke whenever he teleports.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He can also draw shadows around himself, as a way to hide or to move in stealth (where it's already dark). He rarely uses this aspect of his powers, however.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His natural agility might also count as a power, since it's a result of his physical mutations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == '''Equipment''' ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kurt's X-Men uniform has been custom designed to allow his tail to hang out and he doesn't wear the boots to enable him to use his prehensile feet for climbing.
