HISTORY: Kurt Wagner was born with certain unusual physical characteristics, but his power of self-teleportation did not emerge until puberty. Margali Szardos, a sorceress and gypsy queen, found Wagner an hour after his birth, in a small roadside shelter in the Bavarian Alps. She found his father, Eric Wagner, dead of a heart attack on the road outside. Margali is said to have found Wagner's mother lying next to the baby and dying, but this assertion has been called into question, and not even Kurt Wagner knows the truth. Margali took the baby to the small Bavarian circus where she worked as a fortuneteller as a "cover" for her activities as a sorceress. Wagner was never legally adopted by anyone, but was raised by all the members of the circus, who had no prejudices against "freaks." Margali acted as Wagner's unofficial foster mother.

Wagner grew up happily in the circus, and his two closest friends were Margali's natural children Stefan and Jimaine. Long before his teleportation power emerged, Wagner had tremendous natural agility, and by his adolescence he had become the circus's star acrobat and aerial artist. Circus audiences assumed that he was a normal-looking human being wearing a demon-like costume.

Years later, the Texas millionaire Arnos Jardine, who ran a large circus based in Florida, heard of the circus Wagner worked for and bought it. Jardine intended to move its best acts into his American circus. However, he demanded that Wagner be placed in the circus's freak show. Appalled, Wagner quit and made his way towards Winzeldorf, Germany, where Stefan was. He discovered that Stefan had gone mad and had brutally slain several children. Two nights after leaving the circus, Wagner found Stefan and fought him, hoping to stop his rampage. In the course of the struggle, Wagner unintentionally broke Stefan's neck. Then the villagers of Winzeldorf, who assumed him to be a demon who was responsible for the child killings, discovered Wagner. They were about to kill him when they were all psionically paralyzed by Professor Charles Xavier, who had come to recruit Wagner into the X-Men. Wagner agreed to join the group, but before they left for America, he and Xavier went to the Bavarian circus so that Wagner could explain to Margali about Stefan's death. However, Margali was not there. She held Wagner responsible for murdering Stefan, but years later, she learned the truth and she and Wagner were reconciled. Wagner was also happily reunited with Jimaine, who now lives in the United States under the name of Amanda Sefton. Known as Nightcrawler, Wagner became a member of the X-Men.

Nightcrawler remained with the X-Men for years. Eventually, however, he became a founding member of the British-based team Excalibur and is now the team's leader.

Wagner has recently been told that his mother is the mutant known as Mystique. To save her own life, she claims she had to toss the newborn child into a waterfall, yet Mystique may have wanted to mislead Wagner and may not actually be his birth mother. Wagner now believes that his mother is Mystique and when and if new information comes to light it is not known how Wagner will react to the news, or to Mystique.

Currently, Kurt is a member and second in command of the X-Men's away team. He is now awhere that his father is the devil.

1) Kurt’s first costume is the outfit he wore as a trapeze artist in the circus. Probably, it was replaced with a similar outfit made of unstable molecules after he joined the X-Men. [Giant Size X-Men #1] Nightcrawler wore this suit for years and several times returned to this look.

2) While he was a guest of Cloud Nine, Kurt’s costume was damaged. One of the Warpies, by the name of Silkworm, designed a new one for him. It was very close to the original one but also had some new elements. [Excalibur #63]

-) Apparently, Kurt was more comfortable with his classic look, which is why he returned to it only a short time later. [Excalibur #70]

3) A few weeks later, Kurt decided for a much more abrupt change. He grew a goatie, had a new haircut and his new outfit went along with his love for swashbuckling and pirate movies. [Excalibur #96, 98]

-) When Excalibur disbanded and Nightcrawler returned to the X-Men, he again wore the classic outfit from the days while he was a mainstay of the team. [Uncanny X-Men #360]

4) In the following months, Nightcrawler decided to become a priest in training and help out the X-Men only in emergency situations. In his absence, the mutants had adopted some sort of team look. Each costume had a big X across the chest area and Nightcrawler’s had shoulder pads similar to Colossus’. Otherwise, the suits were still individual and came in different colors. [X-Men (2nd series) #104-105] Kurt’s uniform had two versions in different color schemes. The one presented her has a red X on a blue bodysuit. The other version was dark red with a white X on it.

5) When Kurt fully rejoined, the X-Men no longer were wearing bright costumes, but using some leather outfits that almost look like street clothes. The members had a vast supply of different shirts, coats and jackets from which to pick. [Uncanny X-Men #395]

6) Recently, some of the team members returned to more individual looks, Nightcrawler being one of them. Though the design still goes along with the practical leather clothes theme, it now includes some silver and red elements. [Uncanny X-Men #415]

whilst an Xmen fanboy, and seeing the need for other such "lossers"( ) to group, I'm alos a vet of the original TB, dating back to page 612 (the "silver age"). So I can understand this thread, but itshould be renamed (by a mod) to "Cerebra" (quite fitting)

 

[the a1ant]

ur....I will barely ever post here, as I rarely visit the comics forums, but hey! Good idea :-p The comics are great, but where I'm currently living, they don't carry a wide selection of comic books.

I shall return here when I go back to sunny California for X-Mas and Summer (when I buy all my comics).

 

[Dwarf lord]

will you be joining us Jugsy?

 

[Dwarf lord]

welcome to the TB, ant

 

[the a1ant]

I thought TB = Talk Back?

 

[X-Chick]

What's up everyone?

I am probably not going to post here often, because like ant, I don't frequent the comic forums.

But sure, I will join.

Nope it's just that we are the firm believers in X-Men and that they will always come out on top.
