Nightcrawler was played by the talented Alan Cumming in the second X-Men film.

How old is Kurt?
I would venture to guess in his early 30's or late 20's, however in x-Men Evolution, he's just a teenager, so it depends mostly on which universe you're most interested in.

He's coverd in dark blue fuzz. His skin is most likely blue as well. Its all just a part of his mutation

What happened to X-Men Evolution?
X-Men Evolution was cancelled, however it has started coming out on DVD and video I do believe.

In the x-men cartoon, nightcrawler was born as a demon, but in the movie he was created that way by Striker?
No, in the movie version, he was born with the blue skin, tail, etc.., but was captured and used by Styker via Stryker's mind control drug.

Contributed Trivia

Is Nightcrawler stronger than Wolverine?
In a card set I own, it lists their strength levels as pretty much the same.

Is nightcrawler more agile than spiderman?
I'd probably vote in Kurt's favor, but I may be a little biased.

Has it been proven that Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother?
In an early issue of X-Men Unlimited, it was established & detailed as true.

What are Nightcrawer's powers?
Nightcrawler has the ability to teleport, as well as superhuman agility. He can stick to walls (although not walls that are conpletely smooth), and is nearly invisible in shadows.

Can Kurt stick/cling to walls?
Yes, he can, something to do with his teleporting and the way he opens up another dimension, also allows him to stick to surfaces.

If Nightcrawler teleports when an enomy grabs onto him, can he leave the bad guy there, or do they teleport with him?
I think if the foe had ahold of Kurt, he would treleport with him. However, I could be wrong, he might be able to teleport out of an enemy's grasp.

In X2 he says he has to see where he can teleport or he will end up in a wall. How does he know this?
Its never fully explained, he may just be being cautious, or he may have teleported into a solid object (a smaller object, such as a table, or something that didn't seriously injure him) before with the same results.

I love Nightcrawler because his agility and his fascinating mutant power. But how about his strength?
He has average strength for someone who works out often & is of comparable body size.

I saw Logan did not like Kurt in X-Men 2, why?
They had just met in X2, Logan is usually distrustful of any new people.

If nightcrawler wasn 't created that way by Stryker, how come he was white for a minute before he turned blue?
Image inducer I would say. He WAS NOT made into a mutant by Stryker, he was already mutant, who was then captured by Stryker. The mind control drug was used on him, much like it was used on Magneto, and Lady Deathsrtike. This particular story line is a part of the MOVIE, not a part of the COMIC.

Who is Nightcrawler's wife?
Kurt has no wife in the main X-Men series, however in the The End mini-series, he is married to a woman named Kymri, whom he rescued from slavers.

Why did they pick Alan Cumming to play Nightcrawler?
I don't know, you'd have to ask the X2 casting agent. He did an excellent job though.

I Love Kurt. Period. But, Why does he have 3 fingures? Is he an inbreed....;3
Its just a part of his mutation.

Why, in the comics, is Kurt fuzzy, but, in the movie, he's smooth, and is a religious nut, with all those cuts and burns on him?
Most likely the fine fuzz of his comic skin would have been too difficult to duplicate in the movie, so they just slapped some blue goop on Alan, and called it good. About religion - in the comics, Kurt is also very religious, and was a priest for a time, and remains very religious to this day.

I've read that Kurt had a sort of sex with Beast (it was quoted from a comic so this is true), is Nightcrawler gay?
That was a prank. Beast wanted to get back at the woman who scorned him after his secondary mutation into a more cat-like creature. So he began saying he was gay, & she took it to the tabloids. Beast & Kurt are not gay. However, would it really mater if he were?

Is Kurt still a priest? And if not, why did he stop?
No, he is no longer a priest because the "order" didn't think it would be good to have a priest that looks like a demon counted as one of them >( (contributed answer)

Does Nightcrawler play any sports?
None that I know of, however the X-Men do enjoy engaging in team sports once in a while.

Does it hurt when Kurt teleports?
Not that I know of, it happens so fast, I don't think it has a chance to cause him any pain.

Does Nightcrawler like his powers?
He seems happy enough with them. I'm guessing sometimes he wishes he could look more "human" though.

Is Alan Cummings going to be Nightcrawler in X3?
As far as I know he will be.

Will there be a Nightcrawler movie?
As of now, that I know of, thee are no plans in the works. That's not to say there never will be one however.

I like this set-up tons better than the last ones, it has gotten better with each set-up. This one is very cool.
Thank you :)

Is it true that Nightcrawler has two penises?
Considering I have deleted this question like three times, but it just keeps coming back...No, no he does not.

Where can I buy older comics?
eBay is probably your best best, however most older X-Men stories are collected in TPB's that are much cheaper than searching for individual issues. There are also many may great online comic book shops you could search in.

Does Nightcrawler get along with Gambit?
Yes, as far as I know they get along alright.

This a killer pic of Kurt where did you get it?
Its the cover to an issue, I don't remember which on though, heh, or even what series exactly.

What is with the whole Stryker thing? What did he do to 'Crawler? What issue of what series? Please & Thank YOU!
I have answered this question several times already! Read the past entries. This NEVER HAPPENED IN THE COMICS. Ok? It was part of the movie only. Nightcrawler is a mutant, was born a mutant. Stryker captured mutants to experiment on, He captured Kurt. The little liquid Stryker drops into the back of Lady D. & Magneto, was also used on KURT to get him to attack the president. Kurt escaped.. End of story.

Oh, OK. Sorry, I did read the past ones, but I thought those were saying that it was a comic thing. Sorry, Thanx again!
You're welcome. Hope I didn't come off as a big meanie!

I was reading an Ultimate X-men comic with Wolvie flashbacks and there was mention of (plus a pic) of Stryker.
Ok, this is the last Stryker question I'll be answering ^-^ The ultimate universe is a seperate universe from the regular Marvel line. In this universe, the Weapon X program that created Wolverine is big time business. It has captured and experimented on hundreds, perhaps thousands of mutants. In this universe, Kurt is one of these captured mutants. In this universe, Stryker is involved with the Weapon X project.

Does Kurt have any children?
In an alternate dimension he has Nocture. (See previous Q's for mor ebaout Nocture)

Could you help me find a link to the X3 site?
This is a pretty good site to try.

What are some titles of any Nightcrawler book/comics?
There is a Nightcrawler mini-series out now. The TPB is also on its way, if it hasn't already hit the stands. "The Devil Inside" I think is what its called.

In what issue does Nightcrawler accidentally kill his brother?
I would say it happens around Uncanny X-Men 93, I'm not sure if you actually see it happening, or if you're just told about it after the fact.

I've heard that nightcrawler was possesed by a demon and went under a different name, is this true? and what was the name?
In X-Men: Black Sun #4, a demon thing - the N'Garai - possessed Nightcrawler. I'm not very familiar with that story line however.

In rersponse to a previous question, It only hurts if Kurt is teleporting with a object that is too heavy. That isn't portrayed in the movie though. :)
^-^ Thanks ^-^

Hey, just out of wierd curiousity... Why was the original spelling of Bampf changed to Bamf?
hmmm, I'm not sure on that one, easier to letter and ink maybe?

What does TFL stand for?
The Fanlistings is what that stands for. This site is listed there.

I was wondering if you think since Cummings dosen't like all the make-up he has to wear, if you think they are going to introduce Stark's image inducer?
I don't know on that one, it would make a really cool scene in the movie. However, people really like the blue Kurt, so I doubt they'd use the image inducer very much, if at all.

Thanks for having alot of good answers!
No problem :)

Why is there no fanfiction here?`
Mostly because I don't write fanfiction, and this is not a fanfiction site.

Is there a comic series were kurt is with spiderman?
I don't know of any comics where its just Nightcrawler & Spiderman, however, Spiderman has been spotted in the pages of X-Men several times and vice versa.

In xmen evolution is kurt funny or what?
I'm not sure if this is a question or a statement. :p But yes, he's known to joke around in Evolution

Do you know if the watch thingy Kurt wears on his wrist, which hides his true appearance has a special name?
Hmm, I'm not sure if it has an official name or not. It was created by Stark Industries (as in Iron Man Tony Stark), and is often just called an image inducer.

Is Nightcrawler a demon?
No, he's a mutant. Recent story lines suggest that his father was a demon though.

Is nightcrawler's tail connected to his rear?

Do Nightcrawler's eyes change into another particular color?
Not that I am aware of.

Is it possible for someone to look like Nightcrawler?
If you had an image inducer, sure, or if you were born a mutant. Or, lots & lots of make-up.

Does Nightcrawler get along with his daughter Nocture?
In the Exiles issues featuring her story, he seemed to love her very much, and they did get along. She wanted very much to impress him, and he considered her reckless.

Is Nightcrawler's favorite color blue?
I'm not sure, hopefully he likes the color blue.

Does Nightcrawler like the dark?
He's not afraid of the dark, he is quite in tune with the supernatural, and finds nothing to fear in the dark.

How does Nightcrawler feel about being Rogue's half brother?
Actually they are not related, Mystique is only Rogue's "foster" mother, while Kurt was not raised by Mystique, so Rogue & Nigthcrawler never really got to know one another growing up.

In the movie do Kurt and Scott hate each other because it looked like it, but Im not sure?
No, they didn't really even get to know each other in the movie. They never really had a lot of screen time together.

He never was in the Brotherhood. He was not raised by Mystique, he was raised by a foster mother who was a member of a traveling circus.

Is Nightcrawler proud to be an X-Man?
Yes, he is very proud of his status as an X-Man

Do you think Nightcrawler will get to show off his awesome fencing skills in a movie?
That would make a cool scene. I hope they include something about it.

Who do you consider makes a good couple with Kurt?
Rachel Summers seems like a good match. However, at the moment she thinks she's a lizard, so.....

How does Nightcrawler feel about knowing that Mystique is his mother?
You know, I'm not really sure, lemme look into that.

Do Nightcrawler and Spiderman get along?
So far as I know. They don't have a lot of "hang out" time. I'm sure there is some friendly rivalry.

TRIVIA: In Uncanny X-Men #137 in the Dark Pheonix saga, Kurt says in teasing: Eat your heart out Spider-Man, any walls you can climb I can climb twice as good. (or something like that.) I found that humerous and thought I should share it.
CrawlerLuver

Who does Nightcrawler consider the worst mutant in the XMen or Brotherhood?
I bet he'd vote Mystique.....

Fencing is a sword fighting art, Kurt is a master at it.

Is nightcrawler a charmer like gambit?

What was Kurt's reaction when encountering with the xmen?
The very first time Kurt met Xavier was when Charles saved him from an angry mob for killing his adopted brother. Kurt was very happy to meet them lol.

Nightcrawler doesn't have any adopted parents. He did have a sort of foster mother who took him in after Mystique ditched him, but she's always known he was a mutant.

No, he's a mutant. His mutation gives him pointy ears, which is why Logan calls him "elf" alot of the time.

Er, no. I (the creator of the site) live in Missouri. This is just a fan site I handle in my spare time.

No problem, glad you enjoy it.

Can Nightcrawler see where he's going when he's in mid-port? I know he has to before he 'ports anyway can he?
I don't think he can, I think it happens so fast, he doesnt't have a chance to see anything. I know it tales him a second to get his bearings after a teleportation.

Since you are from Missouri, do you sound like Rouge?
Um, no. Rogue is a bit farther south. Northern Missouri - now with indoor plumbing! ^-^

Did 'Crawler and Storm ever go on a date?
I'm fairly sure they did, although I couldn't tell you what issue it happened in.

Yes, it has now been confirmed for certain that she is, in fact, his mother.

Is Nightcrawler the most popular xmen?
He seems to rank right up there, but I'm betting the most popular honor falls to Wolverine.

Name me three things spiderman and nightcrawler have in common.
Wall clinging ability, superior agility, and a habit of cracking jokes.

It's nice to know you're an xmen fan I look forward to meeting you, but you probably have a girlfriend already! You're cool!
Heh, well, I can honestly say I don't have a girlfriend, but I do have a husband and two kids. Yup....I'm female. ;)

Well, that depends mostly on the fans.

This, and my other websites, are just a fun hobby that I have in my spare time. It has taken over a year and a half for this site to become what it is now.

What does TPB stand for?
Trade Paper Back, is a collection of several comics into one handy volume.

Who does Nightcrawler most like of all the x-men girls?
I think he likes Storm best, followed closely by Rachel. He's awfully fond of Psylocke too, though I don't think in a romantic way.

Yes, like I said, its been discussed in previous questions. :)

Nope, afraid not.

Do you think it would be cool to see nightcrawler fight gambit in the next movie since they say gambit here is going to play a villian?

He likes to fence.

In an alternate universe he has a daughter - Nocturne. In the series out now - X-Men the End, he is married and has a son, maybe more than one child....I'd have to look it up.

I think Storm, they have a romantic history together (sort of)

Do you love or like the X-men?
Yes, I like the X-Men very much.

Like nightcrawler does Mystique have this problem with the way she looks?
I'm thinking not, she can always change the way she looks. However, movie Mystique seemed to be proud of her appearance, telling Kurt that she "should have to" when he asked why she didn't disguise herself all the time.

Nightcrawler is a mutant.

What does Nightcrawler like about Storm?
She's strong, a good person. smart, sweet....

The story line found in Uncanny X-Men 428 to 434

Do you think they will establish in x-3 that mystique is nightcrawlers mother
I doubt that will come into play in the movies at all.

Rogue and Gambit seem to be the most popular x-men . How come your not a fan of them?
I am a fan of both of them, however, there is a rule at the Fanlistings that in order to be a recognized and listed Fanlisting, there can be only one site per subject. thus, someone else owns the listing for Gambit and Rogue.

Why is nightcrawler not all god like in x-men evolution?
Evolution is an animated re-working of pre-established characters. Much like regular Marvel and Ultimate Marvel have the same characters in name, but aspects of their characters are different.

Is nightcrawler going to play a major role in Xmen3?
I don't have any info on that yet, but I'm guessing he'll be there.

Is nightcrawler a depressing mutant?
No, like I've said before, he's very cheerful and light hearted. He has a very positive attitude for the most part.

What channel does x-men: evolution come on?
It first appeared on Kids WB, but then was cancelled, then moved to Cartoon Network for a while. Its coming out, or perhaps is out, on DVD now.

What is 'fencing'?
It is a sword fighting art, the weapons used in fencing are thin, very bending, swords called epees.

If Kurt had a daughter, who is the mother? I've been looking around and nobody knows.
The Scarlet Witch (wacky huh?)

How come in x:men evolution kurt is always out there and being sort of like a comedian, but in the movie he is really shy and isn't that funny?
The cartoon and the movie are two versions of the same character, much the way comic Kurt is different from movie or cartoon Kurt.

In X2, Stryker obviosly hates mutants. But, if he hated them, why did he send Kurt to kill the President for mutant freedom? Did Kurt overpower the drug and attacked the President so Stryker wouldn't kill him, but also did try for mutant freedom or what?
In the movie, Stryker says 'mutants serve their purpose'. You'll notice that Stryker also hangs out with Lady Deathstrike - a mutant - because she 'serves a purpose'. Kurt WAS under the control of the drug when he attacked the president. Kurt is not the sort to go around stabbing elected officals

Why did they cancel (if they really did) X-Men: Evolution? I only got to see one episode! :(
I don't know, you'd have to ask the programming director at WB

Does Storm like Kurt? And does Kurt like Mystique? 'Cause in the movie after he talked to her he looked like he did, even though she's his mother and everything...
Movie Kurt may not be Mystique's son. Movie Kurt, though the same character, is a different version. So, in the movie universe, Mystique may not be his mother at all. And yes, Storm likes Kurt.

Does it get on your nerves when people pronounce Kurts last name with a W instead of pronouncing it "Vaughner"? Because it definently gets on mine!
Nope, never really bothered me, of course I don't have too many 'out loud' conversations about Kurt. No fellow comic book geeks in my immediate area.

So Nightcrawler likes to fence? That's awesome...do you know what weapon he fences? And in what comic does it say that?
Well, fencing is done with a sword, references are made to his fencing skills through out the comic history.

Has nightcrawler had a relationship with the scarlet witch?
In normal Marvel reality, no, he hasn't, however in the dimension Nocturne is from he did.

Who is Blink? I've never heard of the gal.
Blink is a dimensional traveling mutant. Check out the Exiles series for more into on her.

Did Nightcrawler actualy kill his adopted brother or was he only suspected?
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.

How many relationships has Nightcrawler had?
I can't tell you an exact number. Sorry.

When will the X-3 movie be released (either in the movies or out and available)?
Some time in 2006 is all I know so far. I have no exact date.

TRIVIA: X3 will be released on May 6th, 2006 so far that is the set date. :) -CrawlerLuver
I found a preview poster that shows the release date as May 26th, 2006, also gives the website - http://www.xmen3themovie.com/, however there's nothing here yet, so I'm not sure if its a legit poster.

TRIVIA: On X2, Nightcrawler doesn't have his tail from the time they get to Alkiline Lake to the very end of the moivie.
-CrawlerLuver

When did you first updated this website?
This website came into being in February 2004, it is updated in one way or another almost daily

Do you like Nightcrawler in the Comic Books or the movie better?
I like the comic Nightcrawler better, but that's mostly just because I've seen more of him, and he's a more developed character for me.

How do you teleport?
You be born with genetics which cause you to have mutant powers. ;)

Have you met Stan Lee?
No, but that would be extremely cool. I hope I will someday.

Since Alan won't be playing Nightcrawler in X3, will anyone else?
I very much hope not. I hate it when movies change actors from one movie to the next...

How do you feel about knowing that Alan Cumming is not comming back as nightcrawler for x-men 3?
Its very diappointing. I was really looking forward to seeing Kurt in X3, and furthering the interation he had going with Storm. Kurt & Logan have always been close in the comics, so that would have been interesting as well. I'm becoming more and more worried about the state of this movie, the more things I hear, loosing two directors, cutting out major characters. Hollywood better not screw this movie up!

Cutting out major charcters huh? tell me about it sugah I know gambit is not a major x-men, but come on he should be one in x3.
He could still be, hell they've barely settled on a director, let alone major characters. Eventually he will show up in the franchise I'm sure.

Um, HI?????????? What do you mean Alan is NOT? going to play in X3?? He's already signed on and has a contract????
Um, no, he doesn't. This is official news, it was recently released on Alan's website.

Oh, well I do not visit his so called site. Thank you, what a bummer.
No problem.

Do you have free walpapers for cell phones of Nightcrawler?
Nope, I don't even have a cell phone.

Why is he german?
He was created that way. ;)

Why is he so faithful?
It adds depth to the character. What irony that this man who looks so much like a demon, should be so faithful to the Christian God. Through his whole life he has been told what a devil he is, simply because of the way he does look - and yet he remains more true to his faith than most. Kurt illustrates the point that things are not always what they seem to be.

Is he a virgin?
Er, I seriously doubt it.

Why isn't Alan Cumming going to play as Nightcrawler? Was he offered a different part for another movie or something?
I do not know. All I'v eheard is that Fox did not renew his option to appear in the film.

Has nightcrawler met the fantastic four?
Yes, he has, check out the X$ mini-sereis that just came out recently. The X-Men and the Fantastic Four battle the Brood together.

how long was he at alkali lake?
In the movie? - not very long, long enough to have his mind controled. In Ultimate X-Men? - quite a while I think, years possibly.

Referring to the wallpapers, I meant for the fans, sorry I confused you. Um, Do You?
Yes, I knew what you meant, thanks, I was saying that no, I do not have wallpapers for cell phones. I do not make them. & really feel no desire to, as I personally do not have a cell phone to put them on.

After Excalibur was formed, what comic issue did Kurt and Logan first reunite?
I'm not sur eof the exact number, I'm going to guess it was somewhere around Excalibur #125, Uncanny X-Men #360 & X-Men (2nd series) #80. These are the issues in which Excalibue disbands, and Kurt returns to Xavier's

What were the race of -nightcrawlers- called? They could teleport and had Kurt's appearance as well as eye beams. I only saw them in one comic.
Ah, this was most likely during the 'Here Comes Tomorrow’ story line, in which 'Beast' (who is not really Beast, but an evil possessed version of him, is mass-cloning Nightcrawler, and equipping the clones with the powers of other X-Men to attack mankind. They were simply called 'Crawlers'

Why is the fact that stan lee appears as a cameo in the following: Spiderman, hulk, daredevil,fantastic four, and not in x-men movies?
He appeared in the first X-Men movie, he was the hot dog vendor on the beach, in the scene where Sen Kelly walks onto the beach after being turned into a mutant.

Ok, in the first X Men movie (I'm really sorry to ask this), Kurt was sent by Stryker to kill the President, right? Okay, so his knife said
The president was considering signing into effect the Mutant Registration Act, which would require everyone with mutant powers add their name and information to a list held by the government. By outfitting Kurt with the note on the dagger, Stryker was framing mutant-kind for the attack, making the Act seem like an even better idea.

Whar are the names of some of the other teleporters besides Kurt?
Nocturne, there were also several shown in the awful 'Draco' storyline, but most of them weren't given names.

Do you live in Canada?
Where I live has already been addressed in this Q&A

Do you ever get tired of stupid questions?
Yes

What and how is nightcrawler doing these days?
Kurt has his own series, as well as appearing in several other X-Men comics. He recently went to the Savage Land, and hung out with some lizard people. He's spent some time with Psylocke after her return (they are quite good friends). He's appeared in the House of M event also, as a guard on a team trying to track down a wayward Logan (he's always going wayward, isn't he?)

Has Kurt kissed Kitty?
Not that I know of. In the comics they have not been romantically involved. As for the Evo cartoon, I don't think things ever got that far.

Who does Kurt hate?
Its not really in his nature to hate anyone, I can't think of anybody off the top of my head whom he hates.

What is 'Crawler's own series called, I don't see it in the Q&A's.?
Its just called "Nightcrawler'

I don't get why Nightcrawler's tail gets shorter comic by comic.
I guess I hadn't noticed.

how did you became rich?
Nightcrawler is not rich? Or, if, instead, you were talking to me personally, I'm not rich either. Far from.

I heard that irene is mystique's former lover. Is nightcrawler's mother a lesbian?
Well, as a shapeshifter, Mystique can be both male and female, so... Besides, I'm sure if Mystique finds you interesting enough to start a relationship with, she's not going to let a little thing like what plumbing you have get in the way of it.

Did rogue ever had a device that allowed her to touch anything in x-men over the years?
Not that I know of, however, she did loose her powers for a while, and was able to touch

In what comic did Kurt meet his dad? And how many siblings does he have I know Rogue is 1 of em?
Rogue is not related to Nightcrawler by blood. Mystique just kind of took Rogue under her wing at one point, (a sort of foster mother for her). Anyway, the Kurt/Azrael storyline takes place in Uncanny X-Men #432, and its revealed that Azrael went hopping around the globe and knocked up all sorts of women, so Nighty had quite a few siblings. I think only one or two survived the storyline though.

Has nightcrawler ever lost his powers? How did he feel?
Not to my knowledge he hasn't. While parts of him, I'm sure, would be glad to get rid of his powers and be normal-guy, Kurt would miss his mutant powers

Do you believe in Kurt's christian God? Are you a christian?
I deleted this question for a reason last time it was asked. I choose not to answer it, please do not ask again.

Has nightcrawler ever had or have a pet with him before?
Does Wolverine count? heh...but no, I don't think he's ever had a pet before (well, if so, its never been made into a big deal in the series before)

Can you imagine kurt without his tail?
No, that would be really wierd

Who created Nightcrawler?
Dave Cockrum & co-creator Len Wein.

Hey, the submissions thing, What about a pic of me dressed up as 'Crawler for Shriner's Circus?
Hey, that would be awesome! Send it along!

When was nightcraler created as a character?
Kurt BAMF'ed onto the scene in Giant-Size X-Men #1, May 1975 (This was the second question answered in this Q&A, please check before asking)

Why is your skin blue?
It a part of his mutantion, he is covered with blue fuzz (this question was already answered also)

What is BAMF?
The sound Kurt makes when he teleports (again - previously answered)

I might be a local fellow comic book geek. What is your area?
Northern Missouri, and that is as specific as I will be ;)

Do you think Cumming is a die hard nighty fan like you and me?
I don't know. I've never read anything about his feelings toward Nightcrawler

When is nightcrawler's bithday?
I'm not really sure. I don't know if the X-Men are ever given actual birth dates or not....hmmm...

Is the dude who plays night crlawer a christian?
I have no idea.

You get some pretty weird questions huh?
Yes, yes I do...

Do you think Nightcrawler cocky?
Not really, Kurt has confidence in himself (most of the time) now Gambit on the other hand - that is cocky ;P

Being that he has a tail and is faithful to Christianity, is Nightcrawler some form of a gargoyle?
Nope, he's some form of mutant.

Where can I buy old comic books of NightCrawler? I'd like to have the complete collection. Thanks for existing.
I would try ebay first, if not there, you could try several of the excellent online comic shops - just google buy nightcrawler comics. I'm sure several of the good 'uns will pop up.

How old were you when you first started to be a fan of the x-men?
I was like 11 or 12 I think. Way back when....(I'm 27 now....so I've been a fan for a while)

She can 'possess' another person for about 12 hours at a time, fire hex bolts, and open small dimensional portals.

This 'site Rocks!
^-^ Thank you

I'm not sure if her is right now. I think so. 555-BAMF (no, its not his real number... dial at your own risk!)

Where does he live
In the X-Mansion

does nightcrawler have a sex?
Yes, he's male.

where was nightcrawler born
Somewhere in Germany, Bavaria, without looking it up exactly....someplace around there

How many women have nightcrawler slept with?
Not a clue, I don't think Marvel keeps a running total on this sort of thing.

Does nightcrawler like being in the dark?
It doesn't seem to bother him. Part of his power is the ability to blend into the shadows enough to not be seen easily - so the dark is his friend

How useful is that tail?
Very useful, its prehensile, like a monkey's tail. Meaning he can use it to hold things, grab the remote if its just out of arm's reach, hang from a tree branch, etc ^-^

What woulld nightcrawler look for in a girl?
someone who could first and foremost, look past his appearance into what was on the inside.

Who are nightcrawler's real allies ?
Wolverine, Psylocke, Rachel Grey, Storm...I would say those would be his closest friends and allies in the X-Men

Why is gambit soooooo cocky and not nightcrawler ? I mean kurt seems to be cocky sometimes just like remy!
Its a different sort of cocky though.

How different is gambit from nightcrawler?
Umm, its pretty obvious right?

In the animated version, from where did he get the thing that make him look normal?
Xavier gave it to him I think.

What do you mean a different sort of cocky though?
Well, Gambit has that smooth 'I'm cool as hell and I know it' attitude, Kurt has more of a silly cockiness.....more of an endearing attitude. He knows he's silly and funny, but he also knows he's a cutey. Not so serious about it. See what I'm getting at?

When Kurty(<33) became a Preist/Minister did he still work with the X-Men? I don't have many comics to look this stuff up in. ~Gnaws on Kurt~
Yes, I think so

Who is your love?
He's had several girlfriends through his history

Has Nightcrawler ever lost control of his powers?
No, not that I am aware of.

Who is the worst x-men to lose control of their powers?
Dark Phoenix, that was a bad deal there...

Kurt looks scary each time he goes in the dark why?
Its part of his charm, he's a sweet guy, but he looks scary. It gives his character more depth.

None that I know of.....er...you mean for Kurt right? I can' think of any

has kurt a girlfriend?
Not at the moment that I know of.

Has rogue ever killed nightcrawler?
Not that I know of.

What time is it in missiouri when its 8:00 P.M. in florida?
7:00 PM :) just one time zone away

Name three things that iceman and nightcrawler have in common?
Well, let's see, I guess since Bobby got stuck in his icy form they now are both visibly mutants, and there's no hiding it without outside help (image inducer. telepathic shileding etc), they both tend to crack jokes often *Icman's a little more sarcastic than Kurt though), aaaand hmmm, they've both had their hearts broken on several occasions.

Has nightcrawler met yugioh?
umm, I don't think he has. That might be interesting though.

WARNING! Mutant a board. Nightcrawler is highly contagious! Just/Kidding!
But he IS contagious - how could you not love Nightcrawler?

Does he have any hidden abillities?
nothing that I know of that hasn't already been mentioned,

How do you feel about x-men 3?
I'm holding onto hope that it will be just as good as the previous two (which I really enjoyed). Keep chanting - it will rock, it will rock....

Where can I get 1 of your Nightcrawer comics and is he frends with spiderman and since am on do you think Nightcrawer should be on the game marvel nemisis
Any number of online shops and local shops I'm sure carry the Nightcrawler solo series, I don't think he and Spiderman are friends, they have met, but not friends. & sure, he should be in the game. :)

NIghtcrawler and scarlet witch were a couple?
In an alternate dimension, yes. (But not in the regular X-Men dimension)

Have you gotten any pics from fans to post? If so, where can I find them?
Nope, nothing so far :( If I ever do recieve anything, I'll post it under 'Fan Fun' to your left.

Spiderman and nightcrawler not friends huh? Do you hate spiderman?
Er, no, I'm very fond of Spiderman.

What does Bamf mean?
It is the sound that Kurt makes when he teleports (if you'd read through the other questions, I've answered this before)

I have been out of the loop for a while. Who are Kurt's parents?
Mystique is his mother and Azrael is his father

Have you ever cosplay before in your lifetime?
Nope, never have (unless you count the occasional Halloween)

Were you ever nightcrawler in halloween?
No, I never have been.

I love the line he delivers when they fix Colossus head. Kurt goes out in the rain to face the Acolytes. Do you remember the line? How it goes?
Nope, can't say I do. What issue?

Is nightcrawler considered a super hero?
Yes, but it also depends on your personal point of view

Why does Nightcrawler have a solo series?
Because he's cool like that.

Got it! Excalibur V1 #71: Nightcrawler goes outside: 'That darn paper boy, it is nearly six and still no paper *GASP* Acolytes! Whatever is a defenseless, fuzzy elf like moi to do?'
Cool quote, you should submit it to the quote's section here :)

Does nightcrawler have blue skin or fur?
Very fine fur.

isn't Nightcrawlers girlfriend named Megan? If so, what is her power if she has one?
No Megan is the wife of Captian Britian (aka Brian Braddock - Psylocke's twin brother) she is an elemental megamorph (I think that's the term for it). She's been seen recently in the pages of Uncanny X-Men. I know Brian doesn't like Kurt too well, sooo, there may be some jealous feelings.

Why is kurt so nice?
Just part of his nature, he knows what it feels like to have everyone around you judge and hate and fear you

Could you please suggest any issues of any comic books series for a new Nightcrawler fan?
Uncanny X-Men #428 and so on, the whole 'Demon' story-line, back-issues of Excalibur, and of course his solo series.

Has or Had Nightcrawler a romantic realtionship with Shadowcat or are they just friends?
I want to say that, no, they have never been romantic, just good friends, but I could be mistaken.

Does Nightcrawler have a middle name?
None that I know of, although he might.

Why do people like Nightcrawler?
He's just a loveable guy.

How many times does Nightcrawler pray a day?
Whenever he gets the urge I guess, there's no set number of times.

Well, Is Nightcrawlers' girlfriends' name Amanda! (I acidentally put Megan last time!)
Yes, he had a grilfriend - Amanda Sefton, was originally one of Kurt's adoptive mother's children growng up. who has become the new Magik, ruler of Limboes.

Is nightcrawler dark type?
No, he's quite silly and happy most of the time acually, upbeat, sense of humor, etc.

Has Nightcrawler ever been on an evil team?
Not to my knowledge (discounting any 'What Ifs' or possible parrallel universes etc. (because you just never know about those)

If he got a part of him cut off could he still teleport that part?
No, I don't think he would.

Do you personally like Xmen Evolution ? I don't.
I never had a chnace to watch much Evolution, but what I saw I liked.

Do you know how exactly nightcrawler died ?
Nightcrawler is still alive, to my knowledge he's never died?

Do you think that they will kill Nightcrawler in future issues?
I very much hope not.

Aren't Nightcrawlers eyes plain yellow? If they are, then why weren't they that way in X-men 2?
Storm's eyes are supposed to be plain white, but they weren't. Plain colored contacts make it hard for the actors to see properly. PLus additional costs, etc. Just chalk it up to a difference in the two versions of Kurt

Does Nightcrawler have two toes or three? Because in the movie it looked like he had three.
He's supposed to have 2 toes.

Do you think Nightcrawler will mutate even more?
Hopefully not, he's fine just the way he is.

Why does Nightcrawler have fur?
So he doesn't freeze his little blue tail off in the winter...

Who is Nightcrawler's sister
He doesn't have a sister. He has the girl who was his 'foster mother's' daughter, and Rogue, who was Mystique's (YES...read closely now...MYSTIQUE IS HIS MOTHER) 'foster daughter'. But they are not blood relation. OK - NOT BLOOD RELATION.

Why did you make this site?
I enjoy creating websites, and I really enjoy Kurt as a character.

Who decided to make Nightcrawler a character?
Creator Dave Cockrum & co-creator Len Wein.

What color is nightcrawler's blood? blue?
Red

Who made Nightcrawlers outfit?
I'm sure his creator also created the outfit.

Why did you get rid of the chat room?
Because it was being serverly abused, and I was sick of visiting it and seeing (and deleting) the nasty things written in it.

Will you ever put another chat room up?
Not looking likely

how far teleport
Two to three miles apparently.

(He can teleport two or three miles) Do you know which comics nightcrawler are in?
What, like every appearance ever? I could work on it, but it might take some time to compile. Beyond that, he has his own series, and he's in nearly every X-Men title.

What year did nightcrawler first appear in the comics? I mean, there are so many different Marvel (non-Marvel) series & stories, it's crazy. There are like thousands of alternate stories.
1975, check the second question in the Q&A for more info

Did you have a good Thanksgiving? Does Nightcrawler celerbrate Thanksgiving?
I'm sure he does. I'm sure there have been at least a couple holiday issues of the X-Men...anyone know any specifics?

What would you do it they never put Nightcrawler back in the movies?
ummm..be happy?

Will Nightcrawler ever come back in the movies?
That I have no idea on, I'd like to see him in future films, but.....

What language (script, glyph...whatever) is covering his face in the movie (X2) and have you seen any pictures and meanings of his particular marks?
This has been discussed in several previous questions.

What date is revealed in Nightcrawler 12?
Kurt's birthday is sometime on November

What is Nightcrawler's favorite place?
Probably anywhere with close friends, would be my guess.

What is Nightcrawler's middle name?
I'm not sure I've ever heard it mentioned. If anyone knows, please speak up :)

Tj Wagner is Nightcrawlers daughter, who is her mother?
The Scarlet Witch, this whole thing is discussed in several questions a while back.

Why don't you guys have anything about the original 80's 4 part Nightcrawler comic book
Because I am only one 'guy' and I haven't gotten around to including everything EVER about Nigthcrawler on the site yet. Maybe someday though...

Does Nightcrawler have a special bond with Nocturne?
Seems to. They've sort of adopted one another, he was her father in her dimension after all, and he seems quite fond of her, very protective, proud....

Why is it that the older comics, Nightcrawler actually sticks to walls, and lately is only decribed as
I guess they didn't want him sharing abilities with Spiderman? 'Character development', writers forgetting the specifics of powers....any number of things.

Does the current nightcrawler series end at 12??
Yes, unfortunatly. The powers that be at Marvel decided to cut the series off at issue 12.

How long is his tail?
Its about 3 1/2 feet in length.

Did spiderman ever have a fight with nightcrawler ?
Not that I know of.

Has Nightcrawler ever had a crush on Jean Grey?
Not to my knowledge

Who will be playing Nightcrawler
Alan Cumming played him in X2, however he won't be appearing at all in X3.

What issue does Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch hook up?
It happened in an alternate dimension - we don't see it, just read about it after the fact.

What issue do they have or find out about Nocturne?
Try the Exiles. EXILES.

Where can I find Nightcrawler series?
Comic Book shops, ebay, online comic book shops, i'm sure Marvel will have TPBs soon, if not already.

Does BAMF! sound a little like a lightsaber powering on? That squeak kind of?
The X2 movie captured pretty well what I always imagined the BAMF sounded like. the lightsaber is too...metalic sounding.

Do you hate scarlet witch and nightcrawler as a couple?
No, its just a little ... odd, is all. It actually makes a bit of sense (well maybe not since she flipped out and all, but y'know)

What do you mean the scarlet witch flipped out?
You should check out the House of M series that came out last summer/fall for the answer to that..

How the heck did the Scarlet Witch and Nightcrawler hook up? Why?
According to the Marvel Directory - 'T.J. Wagner is the daughter of two of her world's most successful heroes. Nightcrawler of the X-Men and the Scarlet Witch of the Avengers. Raised primarily in the X-Men Mansion, her mother continued to serve with the Avengers because her parents were unable to effectively go on missions together without compromising their team's safety.' This all took place in an alternate dimension, as i've mentioned several times.

Has Nightcrawler ever been married?
Not at the current time - however, like the other question, in X-Men the End, he is married and does have a son.

Does he have any more kids with other people or mover with the Scarlet Witch?
None that i know of. However, in another time-line (could be X-Men the End, I can't recall for certain) he is married and does have a son.

Has he ever gotten arrested?
I'm not sure. He probably has hanging out with Wolverine so much and all.

Why did you change the page or site name?
I just thought it was time BAMF! had its very own domain....so I got one.

Do you ever miss the way it looked before?
No, I get bored, that's why I change it.

To answer a previous question, Nightcrawler has lost his powers before, but not his good looks(lol). He said he could live without teleporting and wall climbing and such, but without his spatial awareness, he just
...

Have you ever done something drastic involving comics or superheroes, particularly Nightcrawler?
I make a buttload of elaborate websites about them - does that count?

When is Nightcrawlers birthday?
Sometime in November, but beyond that I really can't give you an exact date.

Who is your favorite superhero, not including Nightcrawler?
That's a tough one, i'd have to go with Psylocke. She rocks.

There is no comic 'series' with nightcrawler and spiderman, but check out marvel team-up 89 and amazing spiderman 161 and 162
Thanks :)

Has Nightcrawler ever had an argument with any of the X-Men before?
Yes, but none have really been to the death I hate you forever kind of arguments (that I know of or can remember anyway)

what are his tattoos?
The film version of Nightcrawler has the tatoos. They are angelic sysmbols, he carved into his skin - one for every sin. (Previous answer)

What is your favorite thing about our fuzzy blue elf?
He's got strong character - he's noble, caring, and funny. He faces every day with a good outlook (something I wish I could do more easily).

Did Nightcrawler love any one of the X-Men?
He has had relationships with Storm, Magik, Evo Kurt was intereste din Kitty Pryde, and he's shared a kiss with Rachel (Summers) Grey. He's quite the little stud monkey around the X-Mansion.

Why is his named translated in Dutch to Harlekijn? Which means Harlequin.
harlequin means trickster(maybe because of his powers and appearance)
Contributed Answer

can he fly
No, Nightcrawler cannot fly.

how strong is he
The Marvel Encyclopedia lists his strength as average for a man his age and size, etc - able to lift own body weight.

you my mother is deaf,and on her CC [closed Caption] kurt said "One for every Saint" Check it out! ^_^
(talking about movie Kurt's tattoos)

What happened to TJ Wagner?
She's moved over the new Excalibur series.

How does his teleportation really work?
Well, he sort of opens up a dimensional tear into another realm, slips through, and reappears in another spot. This all happens so fast, not even he can really tell he's gone into another dimension. However the lingering scent of brimestone is the giveaway - it also passes from the other plane when Kurt does.

Why is he blue
His body is covered in a blue fuzzy fur, very light fur, making him appear blue. However movie Nightcrawler just had blue skin.

Does Nightcrawler do any drawing, music, drama,etc.?
He has a flair for the dramatic. He enjoys a Danger Room simulation where he is a prirate. He once kissed Rachel Grey during one such Danger Room session.

Did Nightcrawler lose an eye? Because in one comic he has a patch over his right eye.
I believe the Nightcrawler that is Nocturne's father in her own dimension has only one eye, I don't remember if it was ever explained how he lost it though.

do you think Nightcrawler and shadowcat will get togeter
I doubt they will, but you nenver know. Evolution was probably the series they had the best chance together in, however, it is no more.

Do you think they'll come out with a comic telling us how Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch hooked up?
It'd sure be an interesting story wouldn't it? I think it would be neat of Marvel to publish some alternate universe stories, maybe one issue a month focusing on different characters in alternate dimensions, timelines, earth, etc.

Does Kurt have finger on the heels of his feet?
He does not, however, some images show him with an unusually long heel, which can make it sort of look like an extra toe.

Does Kurtty Exist
Ummm....do you mean Kurt & Kitty? Like some odd Bennifer reference? :p No, at this time, Kurt and Kitty are not an item in any series I know of.

why is his codename nightcrawler & not anything eals
I'd say because he 'crawls' through the shadows, and is sort of scary looking.

I used to read the original XMEN back in the 70's at one point I remember seeing Kurt as a white guy with the same features of his blue self - can anyone explain this?
He had an image inducer for a while, it altered his appearance when he wanted to leave the mansion and such.

Why is Nightcrawler sometimes a religous type guy when at other times he is funny?
Its just two sides of his personality, it depends on who is writing him I suppose, whichever angle of Nightcrawler they feel works better for the story. Or the situation he is put into - some situations will cause his jokester side to emerge, while some will cause him to call on his religion.

Where did Nightcrawler learn to fence?
Dave Cockrum (the creator of Nightcrawler) had this to say: I took a fencing class in adult education while I was doing the X-Men and it spread over into Nightcrawler and he became a swashbuckler and master swordsman.

When interviewed, the producer of X-Men 2 stated that Nightcrawler has two "things" between his legs. Is that true?
No he does not have two penises. That was Chuck Austen being interviewed on the X2 DVD, and it was a joke, and I wish to god the man hadn't opened his mouth because now I get about 5 questions a month relating to Nightcrawler's imaginary second penis.

Why don't I see Nightcrawler in the X3 trailer?
Because Nightcrawler is not in X3

what is a bamf?
I've answered this before. BAMF is the sound Kurt's teleportation makes.

what exactly is it that nightcrawler leaves behind when he teleports? smoke? water? a combo of the two?
I've answered this before. He passes into another dimension for a split second when teleporting, it is the atmosphere of that dimension following him back into this one that creates the sulphur smell and the smoke.

Does anybody know if any reason has been given as to why Nightcrawler is not in the new XMEN movie?
No reason was given, Alan's contract just wasn't renewed for the third film.

where would i find a BAMF sound file?
The movie X2 has some excelent examples of what a 'BAMF' sounds like, as for a sound file, I wasn't able to locate any :( sorry. If I stumble across one, I'll post it here though.

Do you know if someone else will be playing Nightcrawler in X3, or are they just gonna take him out completely?
No, there will be no Nightcrawler in X3 at all.

Why are women so attracted to Kurt?
Because he's sweet, funny, and charming, without being an arrogant horse's ass.

Does Kurtty exist
What is Kurtty exactly? A Kurt/Kitty pairing?

Are there going to be more Nightcrawler comic books?
The stand alone Nightcrawler series ended with number 12, as far as I know, there is not another planned in the near future. However, Nightcrawler has had a couple mini's published over the years, I'll see what I can dig up on them.

who is nightcrawler's arch enemy?
He's never really had one specific archenemy, maybe his mother Mystique (who seems much more interested in Rogue than her own flesh & blood son IMO), or his foster brother...but he died quite some time ago. Then the usual gallery of villians for the X-Men....

Did Kurt ever have a relationship with Kitty?
Not a romantic one, no, they have always been strictly friends. She's a lot like his kid-sister.

Has Kurt married anyone before or at the least proposed?
The Nightcrawler of future Marvel universes is shown as married with several children, as well as some alternate universe versions of Kurt. But, I know of no current Kurts as being married, and none of these marriages have been shown in the comics. I also couldn't find any mention of Nightcrawler proposing to anyone.

Why do most bios of Kurt say that he he two toes, but never mention the third toe-like projection on his heel? It gives him more of a cloven-hoof, demonish appearance and aids in his acrobatics.
Bios might just consider it too much like a heel to focus on it much, or they might not realize they've left it out. Its a good point though.

In the x-men evolution tv show, young kurt had long strait hair, instead of his short, semi-curly hair. Why did the artists on the show decide to make him this way?
Attempting to appeal to a different generation of X-fan most likely, they also made Rgoue a goth, and Jean a snotty prep, so...just changing the X-Men up a little hoping to pull in new fans.

how did Nocturne come to be?
Check out the search results

Who is Kurt's real father?
Check out the search results

Has Kurt ever broken someones heart to the point that they became one of his enemies?
Not that I am aware of.

Does Kurt only have the power to teleport or does he have more?
Search result says...

I just noticed an old question that asked if Nightcrawler was ever in a Spiderman. You only mentioned Spiderman guesting in X-Men but there was a Spiderman mini-series where he, Nightcrawler and Punisher have a smackdown.
No kidding? That would sure be interesting to see. Who won? Or was it one of those, 'fight for a bit, then band together to defeat a common evil' type stories?

Why does Nightcrawler have a tail?
Its just part of his mutation. It also is a prehensile tail, which means he can control it (like monkeys do) and use it like another hand or foot, very useful.

Who is his love?
I guess that depends. He has fallen for Storm, Amanda Sefton, Cerise, the Scarlet Witch (in another dimension of course), Rachel Grey (shared a kiss)....

Has anyone tried to cut off his tail?
Not that I know of. I couldn't find any reference to it anyway.

Has Nightcrawler ever tried to kill someone?
He did kill his adopted brother I'm afraid. He wasn't trying to of course, it was self-defense. But out of anger? & on purpose? I don't think so.

What is Kurt's favorite color?
Blue? Gold?

Can Kurt teleport to other dimension?
He does every time he ports (if only for a split second) but as far as - on purpose and staying there, I don't think so. However, I may be totally off on this.

Has Nightcrawler ever broken someone's heart?
Most everyone has broken at least one someone's heart...in the latest series, a nurse - Christine Palmer was interested in Kurt, but his feelings for Storm kept them apart.

this was a question that was asked awhile ago : This a killer pic of Kurt where did you get it? i have that set of books. It is from the set called Nightcrawler from book 6 i belive
Thanks :) (the layout image has changed since this question was asked though)

Does Nightcrawler know how to play card games?
Probably? I'm sure they must play cards sometimes at the X-Mansion to while away the hours between Magneto attacks, Civil Wars, and alien invasions.

I know that Nightcrawler is not in X3, but I've heard that X-men the Official Video Game for the movie explains his absence, but do you know the story line and what causes Nightcrawler to not be in the movie?
I've checked around, and the only thing I could find explaining it is that he just wasn't interested in being a hero

what religion is he
Christian - Catholic to be exact

how did kurt live in a church without food
Er, I'm sure he left the church once in a while to find food.

what the heck is nightcrawler supposed to do?
He's a teleporter. ? I guess you need to be more specific, what's he supposed to do about what?

Has Nightcrawler ever met someone like him?
Yes, in the Draco storyline, he finds out he has many brothers and sisters, all sired by his 'father' Azazel...

Did he and storm ever actually have a relationship?
I'm not exactly sure, he had romantic feelings for her, and she seemed to return them. They had a 'date' of sorts, with fancy dress and dancing, but I'm not sure if their romance ever got much past this point. Soon after. Wolverine began flirting with Storm as well, and it seemed the Kurt/Ororo pairing was pushed to the side.

Does Nightcrawler have a drivers license?
I have no idea. ;) sorry.

What kind of clothes does Nightcrawler wear?
Aside from his uniform, his fashion sense isn't too different from other people's.

Do you know if there will be an X-Men 4? And if there is, will Nightcrawler be in it?
I have heard that The Last Stand will be the final X-Movie, but there are Magneto and Wolverine spin-offs both in the works.

Which version of Kurt do you like best? Comic, Evolution or Movie
I like the comic book Kurt the best, he's the first Nightcrawler I knew, I've grown up reading X-Men, so...yup comic book Kurt all the way.

Is Nightcrawlers hair blue or black?
Very dark dark blue, almost black.

Has Nightcrawler ever did something to make someone mad?
Sure, lots of stuff.

Has Nightcrawler ever been a different color?
No, not that I am aware of.

Does Kurt have a cell phone?
Who doesn't? (Besides me I mean...)

Has a small kid ever pulled Nightcrawler's tail?
Um, I'm guessing yes, what with all his time in the circus, but I do not recall any specifics.

What was the name of the circus that Nightcrawler was at?
I don't know if the circus is ever given an official name, in the movie, he says he was in the Munich circus.

Has Kurt ever kissed Storm or Kitty?
No, I don't think he ever has. He has, however, kissed Rachel Grey during a Danger Room session.

Has Kurt ever had a relationship with Jean or Rogue?
Not a romantic one, no. He has been always been friends with Jean, and a sort of foster brother to Rogue (as Mystique acted as Rogue's foster mother)

Has there ever been any reason given, why Mystique left Kurt after his birth?
Mystique's true mutant form was revealed during Kurt's birth, people found out, thus she and the child were chased by a mob (complete with torches no less), and she tossed the infant Kurt over a waterfall to escape.

why no night crawler in X3?
The movie studio did not renew his contract. That is about all I can tell you, no real reason beyond that was given.

What is the specific reason from the Official Movie game that Nightcrawler was not in The Last Stand?
please refer to this answer

How many girls has Kurt had a relationship with? (If it gets past the ten thousands, you can just say alot.)
Several - Amanda Sefton, Cerise, Storm (had a date), Rachel (shared a kiss), Christine Palmer (turned her down), Scarlet Witch (alternate universe), Kymri (shown to be the future wife and mother of Kurt's children).

have you seen the cover for the new X-men coming out in august? http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0605/16/ultimatexmenannual2.htm yummy!
Yup, sure have, and for those who haven't:

Issue Preview - Smoochy

was kurt ever gay?
No, so far as I know, he is not.

why did you only mention kurts latest seris of comics? what about the original??
Hmmm, maybe its because this site is always a work in progress, I'm ever expanding, adding new things, and so on. I'd like to think that I will eventually get over 30 years worth of Nightcrawler crammed onto this site, but y'know, I'm just one chick.

Great site! Need help with writing info on the the alternate realities?
Yes, that would be awesome, I'll email you, or feel free to email, thanks for the offer!

Is it true that Mystique is Kurt's mother?
Comic Book Kurt - yes, she is his mother, movie Kurt, no, she's not.

I heard that bamfs were little smurf like creatures that looked like Kurt... is that true?
BAMF is the sound Kurt makes when he teleports.

Is it true Kurt and Rouge were involved?
No, they never have been romatically involved. (Rogue is sort of Kurt's foster sister anyway, so, um, eww...)

Has Nightcrawler ever had a friendly rival like Wolvie and Scott kind of do?
Well, I don't know if I'd consider Cyclops & Wolverine to be 'friendly' rivals or not, but anyhoo, no, I don't think he has. Kurt relates to people in a diiferent way than Scoot or Logan, about as close as you could come to something like that would be a couple danger room sessions with Angel, those were friendly games that pitted them as rivals.

What does Kurt say in X2 in German, inside the warehouse?
Beautiful Blue Soul of the BAMF! Forums found this answer:
Gehen Sie raus! = Get out!
Ich bin der Bote des Teufels. = I am the messenger of the Devil.
Ich bin die Ausgeburt des Bösen. = I am born out of Evil.

is it true Kurt once tried to become a priest?
He did try, he even thought he was indeed a priest, however, it all turned out to be a plot by the Church of Humanity to take over the world...(please note that the issue in which this plot twist happened was penned by one Chuck Austen)

Why do so few people find Kurt attractive?
I've found that quite a few of the members leave comments about Kurt's cuteness on their join form...so, quite a few people do find him attractive - eye of the beholder I suppose.

How long is Kurt's tail?
About three feet I do believe.

does anyone has romantic fielings for Kurt?
Please direct any and all questions of this nature to this forum thread

can anyone please tell me why theres are wolverine, spiderman and the hulk games but no nightcrawler games, just as a playable character in a few games, when will anyone make a spiderman 2 style free roam nightcrawler game
I have no idea, I don't have any insider info on the gaming world. Would be pretty cool though.

Hello I was just wondering if Nightcrawler is married to anybody?
Not currently, no, but he is married in the X-Men the End series (one of those possible future story-lines), and has several children.

How can I get oneof the pictures for a myspace background?
All images at BAMF! are hotlink protected. Therefore you will need to save the image to your hard-drive, get a Photobucket (or similar) account, upload it there, and link to it as you would any other background.

what comic did kurt turn human and complain about not having a tail? do you have pictures?
It appears Kurt did lose his powers in Uncanny X-Men #379/380, I will look in to posting some pictures, and give you more details soon.

Do you have the issue number of the Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975) comic where Nightcralwer first appears?
Um, that is the issue number - its issue #1 of Giant Sized X-Men.

why does Kurt lose his powers ?
The High Evolutionary has decided that mutants are just too dangerous, and so must be eliminated by the use of an energy field that has the ability to neutralize the x-factor genome that makes them mutants.

Where can you find NightCrawler comics
Search Google, search eBay, check out local comic shops, check out online comic shops....any of these should turn up something.

Does Kurt Like Pickles?
I have no idea, I don't think this has been addressed by the comics, movie, or animated series.

In X-men Evolution Kurt seems to like Kitty, does Kitty like him back?
I didn't really follow Evo very much to be honest, but I'm pretty sure the show just hinted around at a possible relationship between them, but nothing ever came about from it.

what are all of nightcralers nicknames?
Elf, Fuzzy Elf, Crawler, umm....help me out here: contribute a nickname

Is Nightcrawler going to have an ongoing comic book series?
Not anytime soon.

How tall is Kurt?
Comic book Kurt is around 5'9. Check out the Bio Pages for more vital Nightcrawler stats.

On 6-6-06, someone asked about bamfs being little smurf things. Well, in one or two plotlines, there actually are these. See Stan Lee Presnts: Nightcrawler Vol 1 Num 1
Yes, I was mistaken, a BAMF actually is a little smurf-y type Kurt looking thing. Little short guy, cute button nose....

why cant i teleport like nightcrawler?
Were you born with mutated DNA? No? There's your answer. ;)

I've noticed how Nightcrawler was one of the main characters in the Giant Size X-men series, however he's always been either a supporting role or a cameo in the cartoons and such. Why does Nightcrawler get so little time on air/in the movies when he has such a big history in marvel and has so many fans?
I couldn't tell you. :( You'd have to ask this one directly to the head honchos at Marvel.

If they didn`t put him in the 3 movie is he in the game?
Yes, the game explains his absence from X3, but, no, I do NOT know the reason the game gives.

This is kinda powers related, do you think Kurt has blue skin under the fur, 'cause if he just had blue fur I think he would have shaved, saving him years of persecution. What do you think?
I'm think his skin is blue too.

who is kurts real mom in the movie and the game?
This little tid-bit 'o info is not mentioned in the movie, and probably not in the game either.

What year was kurt born in?
The character was created in 1975, no exact year of birth is given.

Who`s kurts girlfriend or who does he like in the movie?
The movie doesn't have time to develop a strong relationship with pretty much anyone, but he seems fond of Storm, as for the comic books, he currently has no girlfriend.
On a side note - I'm trying to direct all 'girlfriend' type questions to the forums, where they can be discussed in depth without rehashing previous Q&A's

Is Nightcrawler german?
Yes, he was born in the Bavarian Alps.

was he ever teamed up with his father, Azazel
He's teamed up AGAINST his father, Kurt was not much impressed with dear 'ol dad.

In the new X-men game, Kurt's 'port dimension is uncovered, it is a kind of purgatory(place where souls were purified for heaven) controlled by a devil-like demon. it is inhabited by smaller demons with all of Kurt's abilities and most of his features. I think they're bamfs. Thought you'd like to know.(also, the game ROCKS OUT LOUD!!!!) Purgatory is in Catholic religion

Why did night crawler stop being a xman in the movie?
You could use the search page I added and find my 17,000 previous answers to this very exact question. In fact, I'm pretty sure, this question is answered on this very page full of questions. Happy hunting.

I've heard a lot of rumors saying that Kurt purrs like a catwhen he's happy, is that true?
I've heard that too, but I don't know if its ever been confirmed or talked about in any of the series. Of course, even if it has been talked about, it very well could have just been some friendly teasing from Logan...

In the comic book was mystiqu and azazel his real parents?
Apparently.

in the comic book why did mystiqu drop nightcrawler off a cliff when the villagers were chasing them?
It made it easier to save her own ass. Mystique is like that.

How did he survive the fall off the cliff?
According to Uncanny X-Men #428, Azazel, his father, saves him.

who long has nightcrawler been an xman?
Years and years - real, exact time has no place in comic books.

in the comic book how did he get his name?
He was known as Nightcrawler in the circus act he was in growing up. Its just always been his code name.

How Far Can Nightcrawler teleport
Two to three miles, less if he's teleporting a lot of people at once.

While Nighty has glowing yellow eyes, does he have pupils, or can he see everything all the time? Sometimes he is drawn with pupils to show that he is looking directly at something. I don't like it when artists do that but it raises a valid question...
He is supposed to have no visible pupils (notice it does not say he has no pupils, just none that you can see through the glow).

How can Kurt stick to walls?
I'm not completely sure, I know he cannot stick to walls that are completely smooth, so it might have something to do with the shape or texture of his fingers. Or it might just be a bonus of his teleporting ability.

Nightcrawler and Spiderman did fight before, the punisher was in it also, there was no conclusion to the fight and Nightcrawler was poorly written, not using any of his teleportation powers

Nightcrawler has been listed as a NON PLAYABLE CHARACTER in Marvel Ultimate Alliance. There is a very good trailer of him however

when is the next issue coming out
Contributed Answer - To answer the next issue question: The Nightcrawler series of 2004 was limited to 12 issues so there probably not be any more coming out, unless they start up a different series.

why was x-men evolution cancelled? T_T
My guess would be ratings, and the lack of. Stations cancel perfectly good shows for all sorts of reasons...so who exactly knows.

how to teleport
Contributed Answer - well, he passes through an alternate dimension by triggering a chemical inbalance mentally

How good of friends are Kurt and Logan and when did they meet?
Contributed Answer: They meet in Giant X-Men #1. They are like best friends, which is weird cuz they are so different

where does nightcrawler bamf to
Contributed Answer: He 'ports into another dimension. Some say hell, others say Limbo. All we know is that the atmosphere is full of stinky purple smoke.

When did Kurt learn English?
Contributed Answer - As far as I know, he has always been bilingual; German primary and English secondary

In what X-men comic did it say that Mystique was Nightcrawlers mother?
It is hinted at throughout Nightcrawler's comic book history, but I think the issue it is set in stone in is sometime during the god-awful Draco story-line (Uncanny X-Men 428-434).

Why are spiderman and nightcrawler consider enemies?
They're not, not really, its more of a friendly rivalry really.

You used to have millions of questions, what happened to all of them? I haven't blogged in forever.
All of the previous questions are still listed here. All that has changed is the way they are displayed.

Where can i find the jacket you wear in x-men 2
if you want the sarcastic smartass answer - I wasn't in X-Men 2

who is Kurt dating
Kurt is not dating anyone right now in any of his numerous incarnations (comics, movie, etc.) However, Ultimate Nightcrawler recently kidnapped Dazzler because he is in love with her, she left the team as a result.

I've never read the comics and I was wondering if Amanda ever liked Kurt back or if she even knew he loved her?
Yes, they in fact dated for a while, and continued to have an on-again, off-again relationship. She is also known as Jimaine Szardos (real name), Daytripper (first code name), or Magik (second code name and also the second Magik).
She currently rules Magik's Limbo, and was seen recently in (I think it was) the Nightcrawler 12 issue mini-series. So she does continue to be a part of Kurt's life.

Is nightcrawler going to be in any of the X-men movies? (X--men 4)
To my knowledge there will not be an X-Men 4 (in there near future anyway). There is a Wolverine stand-alone movie, as well as a Magneto prequel film, in the works. But no X4.

I read the answer for one of the questions and I'm curious to know what happened with Nightcrawler and Dazzler and that whole event?
As of Ultimate X-Men #75, Dazzler has left the team over the events of Ultimate X-Men Annual #2, and Nightcrawler has been locked in a Professor Xavier induced sleep. Charles was trying to help Kurt sort out his troubled mind, but Nightcrawler would have none of it, and kept chasing Xavier out. Horrible images of Kurt being used as an assassin by the Weapon X program were whirling around his mind. So, it'll be interesting to see what comes of this recent turn of events.

Was Nightcrawler about to be a hero for DC?
Yup, Dave created him originally for DC's Legionaires, Dc took a pass on Kurt, so Dave went to Marvel with him, and thus we have the lovable blue mutant - Nightcrawler

why did they pick alan cumming to play nightcrawler?
that is a question you would have to ask the X-film casting director. I suppose they figured he could best play the part - I think he did a pretty good job.

were did nightcrawler get his powers?
It appears that he was born with them, which is odd since most mutants develop their powers during puberty.

Does Emma Frost like Nightcrawler?
As far as I can tell, she seems to. She helped him after he was attacked in his stand-alone series and his mind was a little out of whack. And she's always shown him kindness, so as much as Emma can really like anyone - I would say she does like Nightcrawler.

How come the movie version of Nightcrawler doesnt wear the special suit the cartoon/comic book versions do?
Think of the movie Nightcrawler as a Nightcrawler from an alternate universe - some things are going to be the same, some will be different. The film choose to leave this out - probably because he was not yet an X-Man, and so wouldn't have had his uniform yet.

Yo dude, I dont know if you do or dont, whatever, but NC is supposed to be in the X3 games, i think, with Alan Cumming as his voice actor. (I would think) Anyway, look it up. Peace out...
Yeah, I know.
Nightcrawler's X3 game situation is talked about in the Q&A and in the forums.

Where is nightcrawler right now in the 616 comics. Is he with the X-Men at the mansion, or in space, etc. If he is at the mansion what is his stance in Civil War?
As of issue #481 of Uncanny X-Men (Dec '06), 616 Nightcrawler is still hanging out in space, on a mission to rescue the recently kidnapped Professor Xavier from those wacky Shi'ar.

who is ncs real mom
Mystique. You can also run a search for 'mother', 'mom', and it should turn up tins of previous answers.

How did Nightcrawler become so good with a sword? Also, why do most of his incarnations not use a sword when he is a very skilled swordsman?
He has always enjoyed old pirate movies, swashbuckling, etc, I would say his skill with a sword came about through years of training and desire to learn. His circus upbringing might also have exposed him to swordplay.
His comic book persona is very good with a sword, perhaps however, his movie or animated selves aren't.

WHOS HIS DAD
This question has been answered and discussed in detail in several previous questions.
Please use the search box - try the terms dad or father

Have you heard any news on a Nightcrawler Film yet? There was a rumour going round of one or for him to appear in the wolverine film, but are there any up dates yet? also.. the "who is hi dad?" question, His father was Eric Wagner and was found dead by a river from a heart attack.. :)
No, have heard nothing on a film. And no, his father was revealed to NOT be Eric Wagner. Use the seach feature.

what is kurt's favorite food?
I'm really not sure on this one. Anyone?

can nightcrawler teleport supermans head off like he did that adamantiam guy from marvel? couldn't he do that to anybody?
I suppose, if he were evil he could.

I read that nightcrawler has a criminal in the united states. when and how did he get a criminal record
Most of the X-Men have criminal charges facing them, for one reason or another (sometimes for no certain reason at all, just that they ARE X-Men and mutants). As for specific issues and charges faced, I couldn't find anything just yet.

is kurt homophobic?
Ultimate Universe Kurt - Yes
Other Kurt(s) - No

What exactly happened between Kurt and Cerise? And why did she leave him?
She was taken prisoner, and hauled off to an alien planet to face charges of murder of a sort. When Kurt & she meet again, she is angry with him for not rescuing her, and on another later meeting, Kurt is heavily into his religion and the priesthood. An ill-fated romance if I ever saw one.

I now that this not is a question but... For them ho didn´t now: The circus NightCrawler lived together with had the name Circus Gehlhaar.
Contributed Trivia

does nightcrawler ever sleep with the women he dates (or at least the one he really really likes?) or is he still a virgin?
I am going to guess that Kurt is no longer a virgin, please do not ask me WHICH of the women he has dated he has slept with, that I'm not going to speculate on. But, I can say no, I (personally) do not think he is still a virgin.

so exactly how long is nightcrawlers tail..it never seems to be the same length!!!!
Around three feet is the general agreed upon length.

Who would you say is Kurt's best friend?
Wolverine

I now that this not is a question but... NightCrawler is not around 30! Everything is pointed at that he is 21 yers old.
Perhaps in the Ultimate Universe her is around 21, but I stick by the answer that he is around 30 years old in the regular Marvel Universe. If you disagree so strongly with me, ask the guys at Marvel to give you a definite answer.

If Mystique is his mother,why doesn `he know her in part two of the film?
In the film, Mystique is not Kurt's mother. Different universe, different set of rules.

You said Nighty got his powers at birth. This is only partly true. His physical adaptaions were present from birth, but he never tapped into the Darkforce Dimention till puberty. This includes teleportation, wall-crawling, and near-invisibility.
Looks like I was wrong again huh?

I don´t want you to think I´m nagging but I´m sure that he´s 21 yers old in the X-men series because I´ve seen so many things ho is pointed at that he is 21. I the movies he looks like to be around 30 but I´m sure you will see that he is 21 if you are looking on the internet or in some magazine. For example: In a magazine I have at home, they show me how Mystique become pregnant. In the beginning of the magazine it is a headline where it stands "Twenty yers ago", and Nightcrawler was bornd nine months later. In a other comic I´ve seen when he was 21 years old. It was he´s birthday that day when he´s mother showed up.
I still have to disagree with you. Are these recent comics? Are they minis, flash-backs? etc...
He's NOT 21, all the life he's lived, all the things that have happened to him, the amount of loves that have come and gone, his wisdom....hell - he fact that he can freely enter a bar...
The students the 'New' X-Men are in their late teens (wanna argue about that too?) i.e. 16, 17, 18, and you're telling me that Kurt is only a couple years older than they are?
I still stick by it.

Is kurt from a country that speaks german? because i am a fan from gemany and so i looked the film in the english version to hear the original voice.I was realy wondering , because he spokes german in the church where storm and jean searched him. or when he sat in the jet he praied also in german. i hope you can give me an answer!
Kurt is from Germany (Bavaria)

I´m sorry if I sound enoing before. I didn´t mean to make you angry...
I wasn't angry with you, I just saw a chance to open up some lively discussion/debate on the forums, and tried to move this line of questions there instead. If I get several questions asked in the Q&A that are similar in nature, or of an ongoing kind of nature, or would be better off in an open message board kind of setting, I just like to move them there. No biggie. :)

Since Amanda Sefton isn't in Limbo anymore, does that mean that she and Kurt will get back together?
Anything's possible, and they do have that spark. Its about time Kurt found some romance...

why does nightcrawler leave a smell of brimstone behind
This question has been previously answered in this Q&A

When you said I should read 'Excalibur' chapter 16 to see if Kurt wasn't a virgin, you did mean issue no. 16 right?
I'm guessing whoever answered you did indeed mean that.

When's Nighcrawler's birthday? I read it was in November but I don't know when in November.
someone has contributed some discussion on this subject in questions surrounding this one.

Answer to previous question- Kurt is definitely not a virgin. Read 'Excalibur' chapter 16 to find it out by yourself [pervert smile].
Hey thanks for answering another one for me

I've never read comics, but loved Nightcrawler in the movie. Bought the little book collections, and they were great, but how would you go about reading more Nightcrawler? Does he have any other series, or is he featured more predominately in certain volumes?
The forum is an excellent place to search around for some story lines, several thread talk about our favorite issues featuring Nightcrawler

Correction: Cockrum was born on November 11. And, according to Nightcrawler #12, Nighty's birthday is either the 3rd, 10th, 17th, or 24th. However, the calender is not accuately drawn, so I stick by the date November 11.
Groovy

how did nightcrawler discover he could teleport?
he searched the Q&A!!

What kind of food are Nightcrawler like to eat?
People food.

mmmmmmmmmmm

What would Nightcrawler's species be called?
homo sapien (or, accordig to Magneto - homo superior)

I read that during the Messiah Complex storyline that's going on now, Nightcrawler got shot! He's going to be alright once this storyline is over, won't he? He's one of my favorite characters, and I'd be devasted if he was killed.
No way Marvel will kill Nightcrawler. He's too cool.

You're right, Kurt ISN'T 21, but I also read somewhere that duo to the fact that the characters in Marvel aren't allowed to age all that much, Kurt's actually in his mid-20s. I would say either 25 or 26. REALLY!!
whatever, I really don't care to further this discussion anymore. You think you're right, I think I'm right.
& the exact age of a comic book character, really, in the grand scheme of life, is not that big of a deal.
If you wish to continue telling me how wrong I am & how right you are...use the forum thread I created.

how does nightcrawler teleport? i know that he travels through a different dimension n all but does he just think of where he wants to go and just appear there or what?
I think so, pretty much. He does have to be able to see, or have a knowledge of the spot he wants to teleport to (so he doesn't wind up half inside a wall or sofa of something...). So, I think he just thinks about teleporting to a certain spot, flips the mutant gene on, and BAMF!

Does nightcrawler's pointy ears help him teleport or hav anything to do with his teleportation?
No, the pointy ears are just genetics, no help in teleportation.

Do you know which issue mentions that Kurt purrs when he's happy?
No, sorry I sure don't. BUT I've also heard that about him...if anyone comes across that specific issue number, I'd be interested in finding out too. :)

I read that Kurt travels to a dimension called "the brimstone dimension", not tha Darkforce Dimension that a lot of people think. Just thought I'd say something.
Yup, there's a bit more about it in previous questions for those interested.

I've been keep an eye on the events of the big Messiah Complex storyline, and Nightcrawler will be okay! YAY! I'll keep you posted on anything else I hear that will affect our Fuzzy Elf!
Good, I'm glad Marvel didn't try a "kill a favored X-Man" stunt.

is there anything going on between storm and nightcrawler? will there ever be?
There might have been at one time, almost. They went on a date or two I think, but nothing much ever came of it.
Storm ran off and married Panther, so I doubt there will be anything between Kurt & Ororo but friendship anytime soon.

Now that Messiah Complex is over, do who know what Kurt will be doing afterwards? I keep hearing rumors that the X-Men are going to disband, and I want to know what will happen to Nightcrawler. Do you think he'll get a new girlfriend ( or hook up with Amanda Sefton?)
The X-Men are going their separate ways for a while. Kurt is bound to pop up in several of the story lines. Check out the upcoming X-Men Divided story line, and Kurt should still make appearances in the Uncanny title.

In Nightcrawler #12, what does the calender look like? Do you think you could tell me where I could find a picture of it?
I will try to get a scan of it for you.

Do you think that Nightcrawler and Rachel Summers will ever get together? They make such a cute couple!
They did kiss one time, but nothing ever seemed to come from it. Maybe...

What type/ language are the scars on Kirts body in X2
Please use the search feature.

Kurt tells Storm & Jean that his scarifications are angelic symbols.

I read somewhere that Kurt has intimacy issues. Is this true or is it one those things that are forgotten by the writers?
I have never known him to have issues. He might have trouble letting women get close emotionally because of his appearance and membership in the X-Men.
He's always quite flirtatious, but that might hide TRUE intimacy issues, and might lead him to subconsciously, continually push women who truly care for him away (which he actually DOES seem to do quite a bit).

How they did make up on alan cumming?
You mean why did they decide to cast Alan Cumming as Kurt in X2? I do not know, I suppose the casting director chose him after considering several actors for the role, and holding auditions, etc.

what is it like in the demension that kurt teleports into?
Smokey, flamey, smelly, and generally unpleasant I should imagine.

how come it strains kurt so much in first x-men issues when he teleports other people?
It still does. It strains him physically and mentally to teleport extra people. The more people the greater the strain.
Just like when you try to pick up something heavy, the heavier the object, the more you have to exert your own energy to pick it up.

why are wolvie and kurt such good friends? they seem kinda oppasite
Opposites do attract. Wolvie enjoys Kurt because he is lighthearted, jovial, and a true friend - things that Wolvie has seen little of in his own long life.
Kurt is drawn to Wolverine because he sees that Wolverine needs him as a friend as much as Kurt himself needs Wolverine as a friend. Logan accepts Kurt just as he is, no questions asked, tail, blue fuzz, and all.

is it that he just got more used to the strain than at first?
Just like people who exercise their muscles to become stronger, Kurt now has more experience with his mutant power. He has trained, and practiced, and has better mastery over his teleportation ability, so the strain would be less than when he first became an X-Man.

Have you scanned that calender picture from Nightcrawler #12 yet?
no

How can Nocturne, his douther, have three toes when he only got two?
That's just the way she came out. Scarlet Witch (her mother) has five toes, maybe Nocturne just averaged out the difference between mum & dear 'ol dad.

What happens if Nightcrawler are going to teleport to a place he have been to before (but doesn't see) and it's a human standing there right at that moment?
Hmmm. Could get messy...

Why did Nightcrawler and Amanda Sefton broke up?
Different life paths, I guess. Rigors of everyday life as an X-Man

Have Kurt ever killed anyone?
Yeah, he has. Ultimate Nightcrawler was an assassin for a while (not by choice however), Earth 616 Nightcrawler (regular Marvel Universe) has killed his (adopted) brother for sure, and possibly a couple others over his 30+ year history that I've forgotten to mention.

I heard that the X-Men are gonna reform in San Francisco after the Divided We Stand storyline. Whst do you think about the Fuzzy Elf in San Fran?
Should be interesting...

Kurt did kill his foster brother Stefan in Uncanny X-Men Annual #4 (although you don't see him kill him). Does that count?
Yeah. Did I answer something wrong, probably something about killing people?

The demesion Kurt teleports through, is it like he is walking through a un-seen room...and then he just leaves and enters 'reality', like when he 'bamfs'. Im going to be RPing him, and I need to know how I could type it out, when he teleports.
He opens a small portal to another dimension, passes through, and bamfs back out again. It happens so fast (even for him) that he is pretty much unaware of the other dimension even being around him. Its pretty instantaneous.
The other dimension smells of sulfur and brimstone, and this is why that scent also follows a bamf

in the film nightcrawler has scars on his body is the true in the comics as well or just in the films?
Movie only. This is discussed in previous answers as well.

If someone gives Nightcrawler the opportunity to not being a mutant, would he take it?
I don't know. I don't think he would, however, at certain times his outright mutant appearance seems to trouble him (personally) a bit.

On the Wikipedia entry for Nightcrawler, it lists him as being a practicioner of taekwondo. I can't verify this anywhere else; is it true?
I dunno...might be. If so, he doesn't seem to rely on it very heavily for combat.

how many episodes did nightcrawler appearin in the orighinal x-men cartoon Iknow there was an origin story but in your wallpaper section there are a few frames .
That I do not know for certain. He was featured quite a bit in Evolution, and I thought he appeared quite a often in the 90's series too. In fact I thought he was a main character? I might be wrong, I'm old, and the memory is apparently the first thing to go...

Do you know where i can find some good romantic Nightcrawler fanfiction? Maybe something with a Kurt/Amanda and or Kurt/Meggan pairing?
There's a little bit of fan-fic in the forums, other than that, you might Google for it?

I read that Kurt is a Neyaphem, like that ancient race. I was curious, if he would ever give into his 'demon' nature? Or, if that is possible for him to at times give into that side of him, if it even exists? Can you tell me anything about the Neyaphem, what they were like please. Thank you!
In the arc where Nightcrawler met his "father" (ugh anyway) , Kurt was tempted with giving into his dark side, and did not. I'd say that if he resisted in conditions like those, he can resist in most other conditions. There is always the possibility that he could falter and give into his darker nature, but Kurt himself, his personality, his mind-set, will always ground him firmly in the good.

What happened between Meggan & Nighty? I suddenly became curious.
I think they may have kissed? I might be wrong, but mostly he was just her dear friend, it did however make Captain Britain very jealous (Brian Braddock later married Meggan as you may already know). But that's about all that became of it, and I think Meggan may have been the one to come onto Kurt. I can't remember for sure, check into old TPB's of Excalibur for the complete story .

where can i find out more about the angelic symbles?
There isn't really much more to know. They are 'Marvel movie universe' exclusive, and Kurt carved them into his own skin ('One for every sin' as he put it)
And that's about it....they are not mentioned again.

I know the Kurt was tricked into thinking he'd been ordained into priesthood, but did he ever actually indeed become a priest?
I don't think so, he thought he was really a priest for a good while, but I think after he found out the truth... he was very hurt. I honestly don't know for certain, but I don't remember him seeking priesthood afterward.

nightcrawler's daught , who is her mother
As I have stated in previous answers, Nocturne's mother is the Scarlet Witch - Wanda Maximoff

If the rumars are true about X4, wiil Nightcrawler be in the moie?
I do not have any advance wisdom on upcoming X-Men films, I don't get the news faster than anybody else. So I really have absolutely no idea.

is nightcrawler mother really Mystique
Yes, she is REALLY his mother

how far can he go
About a mile, maybe two. The further he tries to go, the more strain he puts in himself.

how do you think kurt can hold hands with someone when he only has three fingers on each hand?
Really? Seriously? I'm pretty sure even with only three fingers on each hand, he can still hold hands like anybody else.....

Why did Kurt have a daughter with Wanda Maximoff?
In the reality that their daughter was born in to in Kurt and Wanda were deeply in love with each other.

I just heard that they are planning to kill of the ultimate version of nightcrawler!! Are you going to be on top of this scandel and let us know what you guys find out?! They can't do this!!!
Ultimate X-Men as a series will end with issue #100, apparently lots of X-Men will die.

Just heard about Ultimate Kurt's supposed ''death''. What an outrage!! The name of the jerk whose this stupid storyline is Aron Coleite. Are you gonna find his e-mail address and every nightcrawler fan you know and on this website send angry e-mail to this guy until he brings kurt back to live? We need to show this guy what happens when you mess with nightcrawler fans!
I have no plans to do anything of the sort. I'm not too keen on sending 'hate email' to anyone.

i was wondering if you could post some pictures of kurt fro the x-infernus storyline. i want to know what he looks like in this arc.
I'll see if I can't track something down for you. Keep checking the image gallery for new images.

when was nightcrawler first published?
Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975)

can Nightcrawler teleport to specific people
If he already knows their location he can. He cannot 'sense' where a certain person is, and then teleport there. He has to know their location first.

is kurt dead
SPOILERS FOLLOWThe incarnation of Kurt Wagner in the Ultimate Marvel Universe (note ULTIMATE) is indeed deceased. He was an early casualty of the Ultimatum story line, currently taking place across the board in the Ultimate titles.He, Angel, Dazzler, and Beast were in New York at the time the giant wave hit the city. Kurt, Dazzler, and Hank all appeared to perish in the flood.Ultimate X-Men, as a series, will end with issue #100.Earth 616's (the standard Marvel Universe) Nightcrawler, however, is alive and well, and will remain so for quite sometime so far as I can tell.

I just out that Amanda Sefton is going to be in the X-Fernus storyline. Does this mean that she and Nightcrawler will be getting back together? I'll keep you posted if I find out more
It is entirety possible. Her appearance may play a major role in the upcoming one-shot issue 'Quitting Time'. Don't quote me on that as I am not sure of any plans Marvel has in store for our fuzzy blue teleporter. I'm just a fan, same as all of you.

How old was Kurt when he joined the X-Men? (Earth 616 canon, please. c:)
Age is a tricky thing in monthly comic book series. I would say he was in his mid-to-late teens upon joining the x-men.

did nightcrawler die?
ULTIMATE Nightcrawler did die during the Ultimatum event in the Ultimate X universe. Regular continuity Kurt is still alive and well however.

MRD stands for Mutant Response Division.
excellent, thanks!

I understand Nightcrawler's had some romances with Amanda and Wanda, and in an alternate universe he has a daughter with Wanda, who does he eventually end up with? If ever?
In which time line? Does Kurt's story ever really even end? There are an infinite number of answers to this question....since in fiction there can be an infinite number of realities.

I saw a question regarding love/sexual life and you made a mention that you weren't sure if he's had a sexual relationship with anyone. Well I may have read into it rather wrongly, but there was a woman in Exalibur (Believe it was issue 16) that while he was in a sort of tub thing she comes in and gets in the water with him(she is wearing something so small and loose that when she goes under the water it comes off). She pulls him into the water and embraces him/kisses him and then later you see them on this sort of bed thingie and he's got some new clothes on so it strongly hints towards some sexual experiance they had. Her name was Anjulie. Just thought I'd mention that for you.
