Powers: Nightcrawler is a mutant who can teleport by opening a portal into another dimension, travelling through it via anunconscious 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.

Through practice, Nightcrawler has increased the mass he can teleport with him.

Kurt Wagner was shunned at birth due to his having blue skin, pointed ears, fangs, and a long pointed tail. At the time disguised as theBaroness Wagner, Mystique's true identity was revealed after she gave birth to Kurt, and the pair were chased by an angry mob. Fleeing to the nearby falls, Mystique threw the infant Kurt over the edge and fled. Kurt was saved by his natural father, Azazel, and given into the care of Margali Szardos, a sorceress and gypsy queen.
Margali took baby Kurt to the small Bavarian circus where she worked as afortune teller as a cover for her activities as a sorceress. but was raised by all the members of the circus. During his formative years Kurt exhibited tremendous natural agility, and quickly became the circus's star acrobat and trapeze artist with audiences assuming that he was simply a normal human dressed in a demon costume.
Years later, the Texas millionaire Amos Jardine heard of the circusKurt worked for and bought it. he demanded that Kurt be placed in the circus's freak show, where he was imprisoned against his will.
