Nightcrawler
Name: Kurt Wagner
Age: 29

Appearance:
Nightcrawler is a mutant born with blue fur covering his body, 2 fingers plus a thumb on each hand and only two toes on each foot and a third toe-like projection on his heel, as well as long canine teeth, yellow eyes, pointed ears and a prehensile pointed tail

Powers:

  • Teleportation -- His greatest power is his ability to teleport himself and some additional mass from one location to another. He does this by means of entering an alternate dimension briefly and reappearing in a desired location. He possesses a limited "spatial awareness" which stops him from teleporting into solid objects within his immediate vicinity, but this ability diminishes the farther the distance he teleports. Because teleporting into other solid matter would cause severe injury or death, he will only teleport to an area he is familiar with or that he can clearly see. His power automatically displaces liquids and gases when he "arrives". The process of teleportation places a tremendous strain on his endurance and that of any passengers. Extensive training has raised his tolerance for teleportation, but most of his passengers lack this tolerance. Therefore, one of his tactics is to grab opponents and make several quick teleportations with them. They usually are weakened or even pass out from the strain. After Nightcrawler teleports, he leaves behind a faint scent of brimstone said to be transported from the alternate dimension through which he travels. His teleportation power seems to be due to a biophysical/biochemical reaction he consciously triggers within himself. A loud "bamf" noise is always present whenever he teleports (it being the sound of air rushing to fill the space he was just occupying).
  • Near Invisibility in Shadows -- He has limited abilities to blend into shadows, both as a result of his indigo fur and his connection to the dimension through which he teleports -- this is also the explanation for why he constantly appears in shadow, even in direct light (described in Excalibur #65).
  • Wall-crawler -- He has an ability to cling to surfaces with his hands and feet in a manner similar to and on levels equivalent with Spider-Man.
  • Enhanced Physical Structure -- Nightcrawler's bone structure allows him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist-type feats without causing any damage to his spine. He has enhanced reflexes. However in spite of all this, while his durability, stamina, and physical strength are indeed superior to those of a highly conditioned athlete, they do not reach superhuman levels. He has a prehensile tail, allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground, and is deft enough to fight with as a sword or blunt object. Nightcrawler's always glowing eyes grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision as well.
Skills/Talents:

  • Swordplay -- Nightcrawler is a superb fencer and fancies himself to be the equivalent of Errol Flynn.
  • Acrobatics -- Nightcrawler has physical abilities that surpass those of an olympic level gymnast.
  • Martial Arts -- His extreme agility and flexibility not only make him an expert acrobat, but they also play a hand in his superb hand-to-hand combative skills and martial arts.
  • Pilot/Medic/Mechanic -- He has served as the team's pilot and medic when no more qualified X-Men were around to do so. He and Wolverine were also the mechanics of the X-Men's jet for a long time.
  • Espionage --

Weaknesses:

  • Mortality -- Kurt in indeed mortal and can die from serious injury or illness.
