NightCrawler VS ...

[Ackety-Bamf]

I read a post elsewhere (Uncanny.X-men.net) a while ago where someone said what if the X-men fought the crew of the Enterprise-Next Generation (Star Trek) without using their powers. That brought up the idea to me of what if Nightcrawler with his powers were to go against the crew of the enterprise? I think he could take them out (remember the White House scene?). What do you think? And what other crossover combats or groups could we pit Nightcrawler against? How about Jedi from Star Wars? Sorry, but I think he'd loose as the force would tell them where he was porting to. How about the Fellowship of the Ring (Lord of the Rings)? How about Aliens (from the movie Aliens) or the Preditor? It seems like something we could have fun with...

In fact there are two comics done in the 90's that have the Original Star Trek cast and some of the X-Men on the Old Enterprise and the other has the Next Generation cast with a group of the X-Men on the Enterprise-D . Nightcrawler is in that one.

A novel came out later that continued the Next Generation cast story called Planet X. The story delt with the X-Men returning to the ST universe to help the Next Generation cast tackle a group of people from a planet that suddenly developed mutant powers . Good story btw.

So you thoughts are not to far off. They didn't fight each other but helped each other out.

Planet X was a hoot to read. I wish that there had been more cross-over novels.

As for another group..hmm.

I'd like to see Nightcrawler in a swordfight against Jack Sparrow. That'd be fun to watch ;pant

I think Kurt vs. the jedi would be cool. A lightsaber is just a sword that's much lighter than usual! and he wouldn't need to use his teleportation to take 'em down! *heeya!*

or maybe he could take on the cast of the Matrix!

[Ackety-Bamf]

Yeah, Kurt vs Matrix fighters would be cool-he's got one trick none of them have!

I've got to find those comics (though they must be pretty expensive by now) or that book! I did find some interesting things about those comics:

1st comic: ST:original cast and X-Men: Cyclops, Phoenix, The Beast,
Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, and Bishop.

2nd comic: TNG crew (including Worf) and X-Men (circa Uncanny
X-Men #140) Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat,
Archangel, and Banshee. Villains are the Borg, along with Kang (the
despot of time, not the Klingon commander) and Sentinels.

I also found some information and that book from reviews on Amazon.com:

What a great book, dovetailing well with the comic book that started this inter-company crossover. Mike Friedman knows his stuff, both sets of characters act like they should, and the interactions between them are a treat, especially Worf & Wolverine, Nightcrawler & La Forge and especially Picard & Storm. The plot is a little off-putting at first but when the action kicks into high gear, the book showcases each characters strengths and / or their mutant powers and quite well at that. The various team-ups mix up the group dynamics often to keep it very interesting and there are lots of nice continuity touches for both fans of the X-Men comic book and the Star Trek: Next Generation TV series and films, like the surprise twist ending or Wolverines rendition of Worf's holodeck program. My only complaint is that the enemy in this book is a little too one-dimensional and their motivations and society are not fleshed out that well. But don't read this book for the bad guy, they are a necessary plot device to get the two teams to interact in fun ways, which is what the book does in spades. It also assures us that there will be lasting effects on the characters, not just a "lets team-up for the hell of it" attitude, but true character exploration and interaction. Each character is necessary, not ancillary, to the plot, and its unpredictability of who will team up with who kept me delighted throughout the book. If you are not a fan, this book is still quite accessable to those with limited knowledge of the X-Men comic book, like myself. I thought it was fun to see the two teams interact and expand the characters in ways never seen before, ..., how Nightcrawler's powers are compared with 24th century transporter technology and the Xavier / Dr. Crusher team-up, brief as it was, was just too funny. A fun book all around for both X-Men and Star Trek fans.

Vad sägs om det här: (What about this)

Kurt meets the invisibles, and helps them in their struggle for freedom. At one point he sees King Mob entering a house twise, and gets suspicious. It turns out that there is an imposter among the invisibles: Mystique! (Dont know how it would end, though.)
