Writing a life history of Kurt Wagner

Post by RichJohnston »

I'm writing a feature on the life of Nightcrawler. This is very much a first draft, but I wanted to talk to the experts. What have I got wrong? What am I missing? What needs to be in there that isn't?

Educate me...

----------------

The world was in fear of mutants. But why? They all looked so darn pretty. Cyclops with his chiselled chin, Marvel Girl with her drop dead good looks, blond haired blue eyed Angel, even Professor X looked rather dashing with his chrome dome. What was to fear from such Gap model mutants? They belonged on the cover of Vogue, not on a pamphlet preaching hatred and bigotry.

All that changed with Kurt Wagner, Nightcrawler. Born in Germany, he was of a very different breed of mutant. Usually developing their abilities when they reach puberty, Nightcrawler instead was born covered in blue fur. With a prehensile pointed tail, yellow eyes, pointed ears, three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot, all he needed was hooves and he would have looked like Satan himself. He was discovered, an hour old, at a roadside cafe by a gypsy queen, his identified father, Eric Wagner, was found dead outside. His extreme agile abilities led him to join the Bavarian circus before leaving, labelled a freak by its new owner. Travelling Europe, he fought his step brother and child killer Stefan, accidentally breaking Stefan's neck in the fight. He was hounded by enraged villagers with fiery torches, believing this "devil" to be the child killer. At the moment when he might have been murdered, Professor Xavier intervened. Xavier was recruiting for a replacement team of X-Men. The original mutant group had gone missing, trapped by the living island Krakoa, and to save them Thunderbird, Banshee, Colossus, Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler would have to work alongside the surviving member, Cyclops.

And it was on this island that Nightcrawler demonstrated that he was more than a strong, agile, leaping and crawling mutant with a tail. He could teleport. Disappear in one location, reappear in another, leaving only a trail of sulphurous gas behind him and the sound of air rushing into to fill the gap with an audible "bamf".

Fighting alongside the X-Men against the likes of Count Nefarious, Magneto and Sentinels, Nightcrawler had his own personal battles to fight. His fear of public appearance, his strong religious faith as a Catholic and his own attempts to fit in with the emotionally turbulent team..

INTERNAL DEMONS

But Nightcrawler soon exhibited yet another skill. That of being an expert swashbuckler. In the manner of Errol Flynn, he could fence holding multiple swords – in his hands, feet or even tail. With a holographic disguise to give him a human appearance in public, he became more at ease with himself and his fellow X-Men. Until Kitty Pryde joined.

The young teenager found herself repeatedly put off by Kurt's appearance - and it became the hardest thing for her to accept about the X-Men. But, when she was possessed by her future self, Kate Pryde, Nightcrawler found a someone who loved him very much indeed

MOTHER TIES

Kate led the X-Men to prevent the assassination of Senator Kelly, preventing a nightmarish "Days Of Future Past”. The assassins were the new Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants led by Mystique, also blue skinned with yellow eyes. Their meeting raised more questions in Kurt's mind than answers.

Nightcrawler found love with his foster-sister Amanda Sefton, who was much at ease with his appearance. However Amanda's hidden sorcery powers would set off another chain of events. On Kurt's birthday, he was attacked by his own adopted mother, Margali Szardos, revealed to be a sorceress and gypsy queen, in the X-Men mansion, in revenge for the death of Stefan. The X-Men attempted to rescue him from a illusion that resembled Dante’s vision of hell. And it was there that the X-Men learnt of Nightcrawler's family and past, and Margali learnt the truth of what happened long ago..

Nightcrawler remained an X-Men, developing his abilities, to the extent that he could teleport part of an object, severely disabling the techno organic being Magus. However, soon after he was severely injured by the Marauder, Riptide during a battle alongside the mutant Morlocks, under the streets of New York.

BRITISH INFLUENCE

Nightcrawler's injuries led him to recuperate in Scotland, under the care of mutant specialist and confident of Professor X, Moira McTaggart. It was his presence there that led him to join the British mutant team, Excalibur led by Captain Britain, though Nightcrawler would take that role on occasion. After Captain Britain broke Nightcrawler's leg in a tussle, Kurt set up his own temporary team, The N-Men. This led him to take over the leadership of Excalibur. And it was Nightcrawler's teleportation abilities that enabled him to fulfil his destiny in the team, as a combined Excalibur being, led by Merlin, restoring the natural order of the multiverse.

After Excalibur broke up, Nightcrawler moved back to America, where he studied for the Catholic priesthood. Targeted by uber-mutants The Neo, he was shot and captured, bringing him back in contact with the X-Men. He vacillated between the two roles, as superhero and as priest,

When his team mate Colossus dies, Kurt was shaken and after confrontations with humans and the dark Mr Sinister, he left the team for a brief period. He rejoined to rescue Stacy X from a religious order, the Church Of Humanity and their Supreme Pontiff, who gave Nightcrawler's personality extreme swings of behaviour, as part of a plan to control Nightcrawler and make him a candidate for Pope.

SINS OF THE FATHER

Nightcrawler also discovered his real mother was Mystique. On birth, he was seen as a demon by German villagers and so, fearing her life, she abandoned him.

But his real father turned out to be a demonic looking mutant called Azazel, who had lived for thousands of years, banished to another dimension by angelic looking mutants. He attempted to free himself by impregnating women to give birth to teleporting mutants like Kurt. Defeating Azazel, Nightcrawler has now discovered a new family of half brothers.

The mysteries of his birth have been finally explained, he knows who he is and where he came from. But as a member of Storm's XSE team in New York, he has found himself increasingly attracted to team members Storm, the new Marvel Girl and Christine Palmer. Looks like his romantic life is about to take another leap forward...

I think it reads well for a first draft. :) I've read Nightcrawler's history before, but what you wrote was interesting enough for me to read through it again. There wasn't anything that I thought was inaccurate. You did leave out some of his side adventures and romantic encounters (Cerise seems important enough to include) but, of course, your article can only be so long. I don't know what else. :?

"Nightcrawler also discovered his real mother was Mystique. On birth, he was seen as a demon by German villagers and so, fearing her life, she abandoned him."

Actually while she did flee because she was outed during the pregnancy she didn't abandon Kurt due to the mob she was simply earsing all ties that bound her to germany. Check out UX #428 for more.

"After Excalibur broke up, Nightcrawler moved back to America, where he studied for the Catholic priesthood. Targeted by uber-mutants The Neo, he was shot and captured, bringing him back in contact with the X-Men. He vacillated between the two roles, as superhero and as priest, "

A little more here Timeline wise Kurt, Kitty, Peter all return to america to rejoin the X-men in their search for Professor X.

He was a part of the team until the Sinister / High Evolutionary mission where all Mutants were de-evolved.

Fast Forward 6 months and we catch up with the mutants again. And we see Kurt Studying to be a priest...

If you are looking for more content you do have some spots that can be filled or clarified on. The whole Meggan/Kurt/Cap love thing could be 5 sentences alone to sum, but it depends on how specific you want to be.

Some great resources for info:

Is there a deadline for this? It seems that the current plotline of the Nightcrawler solo series, the Winding Way will make a notable mark on the character's history but it's not finished yet. Depending how it wraps up with issue #11, coming out next week, it further explains Kurt's relationship to Limbo, the supernatural, and the Soul Sword. It's very cool and ties back to stuff that went on back in his days with Excalibur.

About two thirds of the way down on page 3 of the thread about the Winding Way arc, while waiting for the book to come out, we started outlining all of Kurt's past experience with the Soul Sword as they appeared in past comics.

The Winding Way

It starts with a longish post from me and then the next few pages outline all his encounters with the sword and with its various owners.

It might be a cool thing to add since this development in Nightcrawler's character is new, and the research is already done. Though how much of an impact this makes will depend on the outcome of the next issue it could be a really interesting addition to who Kurt Wagner is.

Looks fairly complete to me... however this part " He was discovered, an hour old, at a roadside cafe by a gypsy queen, his identified father, Eric Wagner, was found dead outside. " could possibly use a slight adjustment. that's what Margali told him, but there is evidence that she was not being entirely truthful, was holding some information back, and making up some details to cover that missing information. so maybe just add 'He was told by his adoptive mother that...' that area of his history had lots of conflicting information, which can easily be explained by Margali hiding something from him...

ah u are using the OHOTMU Deluxe edition for your Nightcrawler entry. I see some of the parts you have added on. You might want to mention in the powers sections his ability to climb walls.

A minor note this part "Wagner later learned that his mother is the mutant known as Mystique. Raven claimed that throwing Kurt would give both of them a chance to survive. "

Um you really don't say what she is throwing him from... Just a minor quibble... A decent brief summary, keep up the good work



Back on topic though.. The Marvel Figures looks pretty good, the info that will be in the magazine section is quite nice. But is this going to be a UK thing only? :(

When you get another draft written drop ti by us again there are several here who can help with mis-information or possible missing items that you may need.

Thanks. Yes, this is for the Marvel Figurine magazine. I won't get credited but I want to do right by Nightcrawler. Read him in the old dayd of the X-Men, loved him in Excalibur, but my reading of late hasn't been what it could be. Though I spent I happy weekend going through my longboxes...

My favourite scene is still the Magus battle. Anyway... this is the current version. Yet to be typo and grammar checked, but I'll likely be sending it in this week. Any comments gratefully received.


LIFE AND TIMES OF A... FUZZY ELF

The world was in fear of mutants. But why? They all looked so darn pretty. Cyclops with his chiselled chin, Marvel Girl with her drop dead good looks, blond haired blue eyed Angel, even Professor X looked rather dashing with his chrome dome. What was to fear from such Gap model mutants? They belonged on the cover of Vogue, not on a pamphlet preaching hatred and bigotry.

All that changed with Kurt Wagner, Nightcrawler. Born in Germany, he was of a very different breed of mutant. Usually developing their abilities when they reach puberty, Nightcrawler instead was born covered in blue fur. With a prehensile pointed tail, yellow eyes, pointed ears, three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot, all he needed was hooves and he would have looked like Satan himself. He was discovered, an hour old, at a roadside cafe by the sorceress and gypsy queen, Margoli Szardos, his identified father, Eric Wagner, was supposedly found dead outside.

He grew up with two new step siblings, Stefan and Jimaine Szardos. Stefan swore Nightcrawler to an oath, that if Stefan grew up to be evil, that Kurt would kill him. Nightcrawler’s extreme agility and ability to climb walls led him to join the Bavarian circus, where he wore his black/blue and red costume in his trapeze act. He left when the new owner of the circus labelled him a freak rather than a performer.

At which point, Stefan’s fears realised themselves and he began killing children, part of a hidden race of half human beings. Kurt travelled Europe to hunt down Stefan and during a final confrontation between the two, he accidentally broke Stefan's neck. Nightcrawler was then hounded by enraged villager, believing this "devil" to be the child killer, who chased him through the streets with torches and pitchforks.

THE X-MEN COMETH

At the moment when he might have been murdered with a stake through his heart, Professor Xavier intervened. Xavier was recruiting for a replacement team of X-Men. The original mutant group had gone missing, trapped by the living island Krakoa, and to save them Thunderbird, Banshee, Colossus, Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler would have to work alongside the surviving member, Cyclops.

And it was on this island that Nightcrawler demonstrated that he was more than a strong, agile, leaping and crawling mutant with a tail. He could teleport. Disappear in one location, reappear in another, leaving only a trail of sulphurous gas behind him and the sound of air rushing into to fill the gap with an audible "bamf".

Fighting alongside the X-Men against the likes of Count Nefarious, Magneto and Sentinels, Nightcrawler had his own personal battles to fight. His fear of public appearance, his strong religious faith as a Catholic and his own attempts to fit in with the emotionally turbulent team..

INTERNAL DEMONS

But Nightcrawler soon exhibited yet another skill. That of being an expert swashbuckler. He could fence holding multiple swords – in his hands, feet or even tail. With a holographic disguise to give him a human appearance in public, which he often used to resemble the screen actor and swordsman Errol Flynn, he became more at ease with himself and his fellow X-Men.

However, Nightcrawler accepted a challenge by fellow X-Men Wolverine, daring to walk down a street in Salem in his natural form, against Professor Xavier’s wishes, he refused to use the holographic image inducer any more.

Nightcrawler found love with a stewardess Amanda Sefton, who was much at ease with his appearance.

He also discovered he could blend into shadows, a camouflage effect of his blue fur.

On Kurt's birthday, his soul was stolen by a surprise birthday present, sent by his foster-sister Jermaine, and trapped by his own adopted mother, Margali Szardos, now revealed to be a sorceress and gypsy queen. Trapped in an illusion that resembled Dante’s vision of hell, the X-Men recruited Dr Strange to save Nightcrawler, where they all learnt of Nightcrawler’s family and complex history, and Margoli learnt of what really happened to Stefan all those years ago.

But it would get even more complex – Nightcrawler’s girlfriend would reveal herself to be Jermaine all along.

MOTHER TIES

When the young teenager Kitty Pryde joined the X-Men, she found herself repeatedly put off by Kurt's appearance - and it became the hardest thing for her to accept about the group. However, when she was almost immediately possessed by her future self, Kate Pryde, Nightcrawler found a person who loved him very much indeed

Kate led the X-Men to prevent the assassination of Senator Kelly, preventing a nightmarish "Days Of Future Past”. The assassins were the new Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants led by Mystique, also blue skinned with yellow eyes. Their meeting raised more questions in Kurt's mind than answers, all Mystique told him was that he should ask Margali Szardos.

Nightcrawler’s religious faith became apparent during the X-Men’s fight with the Dracula. Kurt was able to repel the vampire count by forming a cross, a tactic available only to those who believe in the Christian faith. This faith was tested sorely by The Beyonder, who kidnapped Nightcrawler alongside the rest of the X-Men to a world to battle other superheroes and villains. Whern the Beyonder took human form and visited Earth, this caused Nightcrawler a servere crisis, encountering a being of omnipotent power in human form, and he sought guidance from a priest.

Nightcrawler continued to develop the strength and depth of his abilities, to the extent that he could teleport part of an object, severely disabling the techno organic being known as Magus. However, against a similar foe Nimrod, Nightcrawler was badly injured when he was blasted in mid-teleport. And not yet recovered, he was severely injured by the Marauder, Riptide during a battle alongside the mutant Morlocks, under the streets of New York, and ended up in a coma.

BRITISH INFLUENCE

Alongside Colossus and Shadowcat, Nightcrawler recuperated on Muir Island, off the cost of Scotland, under the care of mutant specialist and confident of Professor X, Moira McTaggart. On learning of the apparent death of his X-Men teammates, he joined the British mutant team, Excalibur, led by Captain Britain, alongside Shadowcat, Rachel, Meggan and the transdimensional teleporter Widget. As a valued member of the team, they travelled the multiverse meeting their opposite numbers (including a few very different Nightcrawlers). During that time, there grew a closeness between Nightcrawler and Captain Britain’s girlfriend Meggan, who had the shapeshifting ability to become someone's ideal partner. Over time, this led to a battle between Captain Britain and Nightcrawler, leaving Kurt's leg broken. As a result, Kurt set up his own temporary team, The N-Men, made up of a band of alien mercenaries, the Technet. It was this role that would eventually lead to him taking over the leadership of Excalibur when they reformed. And it was Nightcrawler's teleportation abilities that enabled him to fulfil his destiny in the team, as a combined Excalibur being, led by Merlin, restoring the natural order of the multiverse.

Kurt was kidnapped by a scientific team who discovered how Nightcrawler's abilities worked - that he could control the inter-atomic bondings between his molecules and those of other objects in order to cling to solid surfaces. And that an extra-dimensional wormhole surrounds his body absorbing light, to cast his body into shadow and to make him transparent in darkness. And it is that very wormhole that he uses to teleport from one place to another within our dimension.

Kurt continued to find romantic interest, specifically in one Cerise, an alien visitor, who joined Excalibur. He set himself the task of introducing her to Earth customs - which went slightly further than he was initially intending. Nightcrawler then discovered Cerise was wanted for crimes of mass murder. She was tried and sentenced to a life of servitude under the Shi'ar, galaxies away. Margali comes back into Nightcrawler's life and both he and Amanda Sefton rescue the mysterious Soulsword, bonded to Shadowcats, from competing sorcerors wanted to travel the "Winding Way" of the sorceror. Margali takes it for safe keeping but instead ascends to power herself.

As Excalibur drifted apart, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat set up Excalibur again at Muir Island, recruiting new members, including Amanda Sefton. It was at this point that Nightcrawler discovered that Mystique was indeed his real mother - not Margolis after all. Before he could deal with this revelation, Exclaibur were drafted in by an organisation called Black Air to deal with the mutant nation of Genosha - which led the mysterious Pete Wisdom to join the team. With Colossus now on board, Nightcrawler began to sport a more aggressive look and carry swords.

Continuing to lead Excalibur, after his girlfriend left the team suddenly. Nightcrawler then learnt that his circus friends of old had all been slaughtered. Finding Amanda at the circus, she told him Margali was imprisoned by the demon Belasco and the Soulsword in Limbo. Together they attempted a rescue mission, only to discover that Amanda had swapped souls with her mother. They defeated Belasco, Amanda staying behind to rule Limbo, but Nightcrawler felt betrayed.

BACK IN THE US OF A

On his return, Nightcrawler moved back to America with Colossus and Shadowcat to rejoin the X-Men in their search for Professor X. On the wedding of Captain Britain and Meggan, Excaliburr offically broke up. Nightcrawler remained with the X-Men until their mission against Sinister and the High Evolutionary where all mutants were temporarily de-evolved to humans. At which point Nightcrawler decided to concentrate his life studying for the Catholic priesthood.

Targeted by uber-mutants The Neo, he was shot in the back with an arrow, bringing him back in contact with the X-Men. He vacillated between the two roles, as superhero and as priest,

When his team mate Colossus dies, Kurt was shaken and after a confrontations with the evil geneticist Mr Sinister who claimed he could create a clone of Colossus, he left the team for a another brief period. He rejoined as a fully ordained priest to fight against the Church Of Humanity and their Supreme Pontiff, who gave Nightcrawler extreme mood swings of behaviour, as part of a plan to control him and make him a candidate for Pope, to discredit the Catholic Church.

SINS OF THE FATHER

Nightcrawler also discovered his real mother was indeed the shape shifter Mystique. Posing as a German noble-woman, she married Count Wagner, who died shortly afterwards. However, during Nightcrawler’s birth, she lost concentration and reverted to her yellow eyed, blue skinned appearance. Both she and Kurt were seen as a demons by German villagers. Trapped by a torch wielding mob, she shape shifted into one of the villagers, and threw her baby son over a waterfall.

But Nightcrawler’s real father turned out to be a demonic looking mutant called Azazel, who had lived for thousands of years, banished to another dimension by angelic looking mutants. He attempted to free himself by impregnating women to give birth to teleporting mutants like Kurt. He rescued Nightcrawler and delivered him to Margoli Szardos.

A NEW WAY

Defeating Azazel, Nightcrawler has now discovered a new family of half brothers. The mysteries of his birth have been finally explained, he knows who he is and where he came from. And as a member of Storm's XSE team in New York, he has found himself increasingly attracted to team members Storm, the new Marvel Girl and Christine Palmer.

However his adopted family heritage still looms over his life. And, following Margoli's footsteps, he has encountered the Soulsword again, this time wielding it himself, and is walking up the Winding Way...

I really like this bio, but here are a few little things I've found..

The original mutant group had gone missing, trapped by the living island Krakoa, and to save them Thunderbird, Banshee, Colossus, Storm, Wolverine and Nightcrawler would have to work alongside the surviving member, Cyclops.
I'm not sure whether or not this was intentional (considering he quit the team in the next issue I believe), but Sunfire isn't included on the team.

Fighting alongside the X-Men against the likes of Count Nefarious, Magneto and Sentinels, Nightcrawler had his own personal battles to fight.
His name is Count Nefaria

I've also found a few spelling errors in some names, mostly Jimaine and Margali though.. also the word "Coast" is spelled "Cost" in the first sentence of British Influence.. other than those, I think Spell Check will get anything misspelled..
