Nighty's strength

I've seen Night-Crawler lift people strait off the ground (example Captain Britain) into a concrete wall, crushing it behind them. That doesn’t seem like “normal” strength level to me. Although slim, he at least has the strength level of an athlete. Remember also that acrobatic feats such as the ones Kurt pulls off are not easy by any means and require a great deal of strength. Also Kurt cannot see in the dark, he does not have night vision; but has eyes slightly more adept at seeing in the dark. JPhish 10:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Just because something was drawn funny doesn't mean that the character is as a strong as portrayed in the funnily drawn picture.--209.172.22.187 03:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

One does not spend ones early life swining around acrobatically without gaining some form of strength, but I don't think he has super human strength. As for the night vision, His father is a demon, most probably he "inherited" a partial addeptness to the night skys? Floating Banana 07:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Now, now, if his father was a demon, Kurt would not be a mutant. He'd be some sort of modern Inuyasha demon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.225.189 (talk) 05:04, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Removed from lead

The following text was removed from the lead for having no source. If you can source this, feel free to restore it:

Cockrum designed Nightcrawler to be used in a new series The Outsiders set in the universe of DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes series. Cockrum was working on the series just before he went to Marvel, and Nightcrawler's costume design (and overall unusual look) fit well into the Legion's design scheme.

Why is Nightcrawler Religouse

I don't understand why Nightcrawler is a devout Catholic. He was raised by witches, so he wouldn't have been exposed to much christianity as a child. Also, his long time girlfriend, Magik, is a witch. I'm no expert on Catholicism, but I would think that going out with a witch, especially one ruling in Limbo, is against the rules. Can someone please explain this to me? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.157.65.86 (talk) 21:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

I don't know, you'll have to ask him ;) Actually, Nightcrawler was raised by circus folk; he didn't find out his stepmother and stepsister/girlfriend (ugh!) used magic until a writer though of it... I mean, until years after he joined the X-Men. As for dating witches, I guess Kurt's just an open-minded kind of guy (although dating your adopted sister may be a little too open minded!) And in the Marvel Universe, there are indeed some christian practitioners of magic; they're not automatically Wiccans. -- Noclevername 00:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Is he a German Catholic (a religious group, that was formed in 1844 in Germany) as the link in the aticle suggests or is he a german member of the Roman Catholic Church? 91.2.105.14 (talk) 22:54, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Heh, "no expert on Catholicism" is right! Where in the world did you hear that Roman Catholics have rules about who you can date?

I'm 90% sure Nightcrawler is Roman Catholic. I recall seeing him listed as such in the Official Handbook or some such place, and the X-Men article twice describes him as "Catholic", which I think pretty much everyone assumes to be short for Roman Catholic. At the least, it would be quite unusual for comics creators to place a character in an obscure Christian sect like German Catholic. I'm going to be WP:BOLD and change the link. If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate it if an editor who knows better would revert my edit and supply a suitable source.--NukeofEarl (talk) 17:17, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

To answer the OP's question, he is "Religouse" because he was depicted as Catholic several times in the comics. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 17:47, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Possible return

Wolverine and the X-Men #35 was released today and in it we see a cowled figure with fuzzy blue skin, having the same tale as Nightcrawler and leaving the same footprints as his. He says that he is waiting for his friends, the X-Men, to "risk their lives once again to save a dead man". Since it is only 99% clear that this is Nightcrawler, I created a section called "Possible return" (as opposed to simply "Return") in which I gave the information about the cowled figure. I gave a reference to the issue it was from. I didn't say it was Nightcrawler, and yet, someone deleted the whole section, citing "speculation". I think whoever deleted it either didn't read today's issue of Wolverine and the X-Men, or simply performed vandalism. Either case, I think it was wrong to delete the section. If the community agrees, please revert the page back to restore the "Possible return" section. 92.247.62.62 (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2013 (UTC)Konstantino

Whether 99% clear or 3% clear, speculation is still speculation. If and when the character seen in that issue does turn out to be Nightcrawler, we can always add your info back in then. Wikipedia is not on a deadline.--NukeofEarl (talk) 15:48, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
