Birth Name: Kurt Wagner
Nicknames: Kurty Kurt, Kurt Von Nightcrawler (by Omen)
Codename: Nightcrawler
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Caucasian descent, mutation has caused his dark blue skin
Mutant Abilities:Nightcrawler is a mutant who can teleport by opening a portal into another dimension, traveling through it via an unconscious direction-finding sense, and returning to his own dimension. When teleporting, Nightcrawler leaves behind a small portion of the atmosphere of the other dimension that escapes with a muffled “bamf” sound and smells of brimstone. On returning, his power automatically displaces any extraneous liquids and gases. Nightcrawler can easily teleport north south along Earth's magnetic lines of force. However, teleporting east west against them or teleporting vertically is more difficult. Under optimal conditions, Nightcrawler can teleport 2 miles east west, 3 miles north south, and 2 miles vertically if he exerts himself. Nightcrawler's momentum is retained when teleporting, so he arrives with the same inertia he left with. He can reduce this by teleporting short distances in the opposite direction. Nightcrawler has a limited unconscious extrasensory ability that prevents him from teleporting into any area that he cannot see or has not seen in the past, as doing so runs the risk of injury or death by materializing partially or entirely within a solid object. Through practice, Nightcrawler has increased the mass he can teleport with him, though the limit to the amount of weight he can carry when teleporting and the distance over which he can teleport with such additional loads are unknown. Teleporting with Nightcrawler often leaves a passenger feeling weak and nauseous. Nightcrawler is also able to cling to solid surfaces via his hands and feet. He can also render himself nigh-invisible in shadows by manipulating the ever-present portal to the dimension he teleports through so as to bend light around himself.

Personal History: Born in Germany, Kurt Wagner was abandoned as a child by his mother, Mystique. He was taken in by the gypsy witch, Margali Szardos, who raised him as a gypsy. Wagner spent some time in the circus under the title "The Amazing Nightcrawler" utilizing his amazing acrobatic prowess. While the circus was traveling around America, Nightcrawler became restless and left the group so he could explore the country. He is currently in New York (everyone wants to see the Statue of Liberty firsthand, right?).

Extra: He is a devout Catholic. Nightcrawler occasionally uses an image inducer to disguise his true appearance with a holographic form. He has also served as the team's pilot and medic when no more qualified X-Men were around to do so.
