Marvel Comics Hot Pick Spotlight – X-Men Blue Origins #1

X-Men Blue Origins #1 – New release date 11/29/23

Origin (as we know it now) and First Appearance:
Nightcrawler, also known as Kurt Wagner, made his debut in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). Created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum, Nightcrawler is a member of the X-Men, a team of mutant superheroes. His unique abilities include:

Teleportation: Nightcrawler can instantly transport himself from one location to another.
Enhanced Agility and Flexibility: His acrobatic skills are unmatched.
Adhesive Hands and Feet: He can cling to surfaces.
Camouflage in Shadows: His indigo-colored velvety fur allows him to blend seamlessly into darkness.
Prehensile Tail: A handy extra limb.

In his earlier comic book appearances, Nightcrawler was depicted as a happy-go-lucky practical joker and a fan of swashbuckling tales. His love for adventure and his unique appearance set him apart. Interestingly, there was already another Marvel character with a similar name (Night-Crawler), but to avoid confusion, Nightcrawler’s name was tweaked.
Nightcrawler is a devout Catholic, and his faith becomes more pronounced in later depictions. He is the son of Mystique and Azazel. His origins are tied to a small village called Witzeldorf in Bavaria, Germany.
Nightcrawler has been a regular presence in Marvel-related comic books, video games, and animated series. He was portrayed by Alan Cumming in the film X2 (2003) and by Kodi Smit-McPhee in subsequent movies.
